WHAT THE PEOPLE PAY
The Hundreds of Federal Taxes
Raise Money for Departments
to Squander.

When the present congress decided
to investigate the war expenditures the
democratic leaders and papers sent up
howl of waste of time and useless
expense to try to scare them out, and
the reason is very evident now. That
nearly a billion dollars was spent on
airplanes without getting any to the
front was known, but all citizens sup
posed that we had plenty in the course
of construction at the close Of the "big
fuss" 1t now transpires that with the
trouble on in Mexico we are not in as

good shape for war planes us we were
in 1915. The revelations before the
committee also show that one billion
and quarter was spent for ordnance,
and only ~ American cannon ever
reached the fighting lines and 4S of
these were small calibre and the larg-
est only inch. Three billion and a
half dollars were spent by the muni-
tions board and yet not enough am
munition ever reached the front to
keep the batteries going for one day
battle. With such gross incompetency
and dishonesty being exposed daily it
is no wonder the democrats wanted to
prevent an investigation. On these
three items alone more money was alb
solutely wasted than it took to fight
the great four year civil war for the
preservation of the government. And
more is coming to light every day.
Only about one-fifth of the expendi-
lures have so far been Investigated and
all are reeking with corruption and
failure.
We brag of Americas effective bust
ness methods and energy and yet we
were in the war 10 months. II Eng
land and France or even poor mis-
guided Russia had been as slow in get
ting ready in their crippled financial
lcondition as America was with unlim-
tied money and resources at command
the Huns would have eaten the Christ
mas 1914 dinner in Paris and the war
would have been won. II our grand
fathers had been as slow in 1861 the
country would have been disrupted be-
fore New Years day 1862. The de-
mocratic leaders were too busy feed
ing at the biggest mess of swill ever
known in the history Of the world and
keeping their sons out Of the army to
do any real efficient work towards or
ganization.

ed the biggest and best they ever held.

"PAN" STOCK BUYERS
Federal Trade Commission Says Pan
Motor Co. Mulcted Stock
Purchasers.

Thousands of persons who had saw
ed up money at great sacrifice and now
apparently have lost every cent OF
their Investment" are interested in
the complaint filed recently by the
Federal Trade Commission against the
Pan Motor Co. and its president, Sam
uel c. Pandolfo.
The concern and its president, the
complaint says, according to the belief
Of the commission, has taken in s4,-
723 .sIl SO from the sale of stock from
January, 1917, to February rs, 1919.
There were 81 900 recorded subscribers
to the stock, of which $4,000 had fully
paid their subscriptions. Up to Sep
tember, 1918, the complaint says, ST.
6,667.53 OF their subscriptions had
gone to statesmen as commissions, and
$3.50, ,72s.38 had been paid to Pandolfo
a. commissions and "for alleged serv-
ices"
And the company, promoted to
.manufacture" automobiles, had mere
ly "assembled" some 200 machines, the
complaint points out.
This is, unfortunately, familiar ex-
perience to those unwise people who
take a chance" with their money. In
stead of the enormous profits" which
glib statesmen promised them, they
have nothing but a bitter heartache
and pretty stock certificate. The
only investor who has never lost .
nickel of his money is the man who
bought nothing but United States Gov
ernment securities. They are always
good, and in the case of War Savings,
are always worth more than you paid
for them. They pay the high interest
rate of per cent compounded quart
srly.

to the high wages we are compelled

Of foodstuff and supplies of all kinds.
In former years before the increase

Reports of county assessors to the
State Immigration Department, now
about finished, show approximately
$4,000 farms in Colorado this year, rs
compared with 46,l70. This is regard
ed as the best index of the complete
ness of assessors reports. indicating
that they are approximately so per
cent complete. This is regarded as an
Especially good showing ON the part
Of county assessors, especially In the
more important agricultural districts
of the state. In many counties It is
believed that the report are from 80
to 50 per cent complete and this list
includes some of the most important
agricultural counties in the state, such
as Weld, Morgan, Logan, Phillips and
Adams. There are a few counties
where assessors and their deputies en-
special difficulties in their
work and did not obtain good reports,
one or two counties being no more
than so per cent complete. In every
county in the state where agriculture
is followed a report has been made
and the results ob.G.led this year are
such as to indicate that state report
covering fully 80 per cent of the cul-
tivated area Of Colorado may be ex-
peeted next year.

rhIs course wall not be offered this

II Is the purpose of this department
to give the boys and girls Of the town
and country a wholesome respect for
farm life by teaching them to see and
understand some of the interesting and
troublesome problems of farm life.
In order to make this study Of the
most possible value to the students we
will make it as practical as possible
so that the lessons studied in the class
room, field and laboratory. may be put
into actual practice thru project work
There has always been a difference
of opinion as TO the interest girls and
women should take in agriculture but
this department believes that all girls
as well as all boys, no matter what
their plans for the future may be,
should acquaint themselves as far as
possible with the principles underlying
the science of agriculture, and it is to
this end that we invite all the girls As
well as the boys to take at least one
years work in agriculture. Girls who
expect TO teach country schools after
graduation should by all means take
at least one year Of agricultural work.
In order that the classroom study
may be given practical backing, each
student will be required to work out
a definite project along the line of the
subjects studied in the class. Any one
project is designed to cover n period
of Elk months and shall be carried out
under practical farming conditions.
. A more detailed explanation of these
courses will be given to the students
as they register for the different
We hope to make the coming school
year more pleasant and profitable than
any proceeding year and if students
and faculty put into the school the
best of spirit and support the year
will be both pleasant and profitable.
The agricultural department is now
rather cramped for room but with
new building going up we will soon
so let's make the department worthy
Of its quarters.
Let's all get in step and make the
year snappy one.

PACTS TO PROTECT
JEWS BEING DRAWN
Council of Four's Committee
of Experts at Work on I'M
portant Covenants.

PARIS, May 81 (by the Associated
Press).-Acting on instructions from
the council of four special commit
tee Of experts is drafting a series of
treaties with the newly created states
designed to protect minorities, and
particularly protect the Jews against
discrimination of race, language and
religion, leading to disorders. riots
and pogroms.
One of these treaties, with Poland,
has been completed; others. with Ru-
mania, Csechoslovakia,J ugoslavia and
Ukraine, are being prepared.
The American member Of the COM
mittee 10 David H. Mille1.
The treaties are supplementary to
the German and Austrian peace trea-
ties. both Of which contain articles
providing that the newly created
states shall execute treaties guaran-
teeing the minorities protection in
race language and religion;
One of those who assisted in draw
ting up the treaties summed them up
today as follows:
"They guarantee substantially the
same equality and freedom Of race.
language and religion as we have in
the United States. While it is diff
ficult to frame any specific provision
against mob violence, yet this usually
results from racial discrimination. and
by establishing strict equality we
hope to eliminate the causes leading
to riots" = &rai'se1
The views Of British and American
Jews have been considered during the
framing Of the treaties which, how
ever, are not restricted to Jews, but
cover all races and religions.
The treaty with Poland contains
general provisions giving Polish ma
tionality to all people regularly resi-
dent within Poland. A number of
provisions preventing any special
racial or religious discrimination are
made, with special reference to Jews.
who are protected in the establish
ment of schools, the teaching of their
language and religious observances.
including a provision against the
holding of an election on the Jewish
Sabbath.
The league Of nations is given
supervisory authority in carrying
out the guarantees of equality.
