Eight hundred seventy-nine
miles of road will be built in Col
orado next year by the state and
federal governments, to cost $5,-
342,349. Forty thousand dollars
of this vast amount has been ap-
propriated for road between Id
aho Springs and Central City. No
appropriation is made for the re-
building of the twelve miles of
bad road on the Guy Hill route
between the Gilpin county line
and the foot of Golden Gate canon.
The citizens of Gilpin county
would much rather have this piece
of road rebuilt than have $4,000
expended on a road between Ida
no Springs and Central City as it
would give them highway into
Denver twelve miles shorter than
by way of Idaho Springs. Num-
erous efforts have been made both
by the county officials and the cit
izens to have the State Highway
commission appropriate money to
build this piece of road in Jeffer-
son county but for some reason it
is always passed up. Members of
the commission have been over
the road and have seen the neces-
sity of putting it in condition for
auto travel, but when it comes to
doing something, appropriate
money for every road but this one.

COTTON GROWERS NEED
SUPPORT OF THE BANKS
Dallas Banker Tells Bankers Com
ventiOn Europe Has Been
Financing the Crop.

New Orleans, April 3.-If the
south is to succeed in its plan for
holding cotton and creating a year
round cotton market, a system
must be devised for obtaining credit
support from banks in all parts of
the United States, j. ID. Gillespie.
cashier of the Tension National
bank, Dallas. Texas, told members
OF the Association Of Reserve City
Bankers at the second days session
OF their seventh annual convention
here.
Mr.. Gillespie's address on Cotton
as Basis for Bank Credit" was de-
livered in executive session and
made public.
Invitations were received from
Cleveland, Boston, Chicago. Dallas
and Milan, Tenn, to hold the 1920
convention in those cities.
Southern banks, Mr.. Gillespie
said, probably cannot handle con-
veniently all the credit instruments
they would be called on to carry un.
ueT widespread NOV tuleHt.
Europe has been financing the
larger part of our cotton and has
been getting ii at a bargain" Mr..
Gillespie said II do not think we
mers have had a taste of holding
and getting more money for their
cotton, and l believe in the future
when one wants TO know the amount
of spot cotton in the world. he will
look TO the south instead of Europe
and the eastern seaboards."
OF the plan to reduce cotton acre
age in the south. Mr.. Gillespie said
"Cotton raising is business just
like any manufacturing business.
Whenever manufacturer is pro-
ducing more goods than he can sell
he Immediately discharges some of
his help and cuts his production and
nobody has any thought but that is
a correct thing TO do But now that
we are trying to create sentiment
among farmers to reduce their acre.
age a great howl goes up.
The south has been raising cot
ton for 200 years and apparently all
the cotton we have raised has been
consumed. But up to two years ago
we raised so much that its marginal
utility to society has been less. in a
great number Of cases. than the cost
of production.
1T is gradually dawning on most
people in this country that we can.
not make the world take all the cot
ton we want them to take. with re-
turns equal to a living wage, and
we must necessarily cut down cot
ton production to any amount they
will take"
Other addresses will be made on
various subjects as &"s.5 :2- h2rk
