KEEP YOUR TOWN ALIVE.


A town is very much like an indi-
vidual. To be fiourishing, it must
have energy and enterprise. The peo-
pie in a town should remember that
the individual prosperity depends to
a large extent upon the character of
the place in which their business is
located. Every public measure should
be literally supported by all, especi-
ally the business men. At the pres
emit day there is as much competition
between towns as there is among per-
sons and business enterprises. A man
seeking location will invariably Sc
lect a town that is up to the times,
and is eagerly in favor of every mod
err improvement. A town in these
modern times can't afford to be peo-
pied with old fogies or antediIuVian
FOSSILS who are continually kicking
at every enterprise. To make a -four
ishing town you must believe in its
future and work. for it, encouraging
every Improvement. Make a special
effort to exhibit some evidence of i'm
provement in your own work and
character. Help every worthy man to
locate in town.

The significance of this showing is
demonstrated By the fact that in 1913,
when the returns were considered
highly favorable there were 1882 in
solVencies and the $113,291 ,z37 of Ii
abilities OF 1919 not only contrast
sharply with the $193.O19,979 of the

closing the rise in the commercial
mortality, which many people had ex-
rected, brought a further reduction Of

and contraction of 305 per cent in
the Indebtedness, while the improy-
ment over the. early years of the war
era is of course, far more striking.

AN INTERESTING TEST CASE.

To test the cOnstitutionality of thu
tax exemption section of the Federal
Farm Loan Act q case has been start
ed in the federal court at Kansas
City. It is claimed that when a
bond is not an obligation Of the gov
eminent it cannot be an instrument
tally of the government therefore will
be subject to taxation if the plaintiff,
the Farm Mortgage Bankers AssO-
citation OF America, wins its case.
At the june conference of the Ma
tional Tax Association Mr. Kingman
N. Robins, OF Rochester, N. Y, argued
that tax exemption is dangerous
policy from the standpoint of both
economic and social craftsmanship,
because it fosters government mono
poly by putting private enterprise at
a constant disadvantage. Tax ex-
emDtion," he claims, when granted
to benefcaries of the government
through the agency Of institutions
sponsored by the government, such as
the Federal Farm Loan Banks and
the proposed Federal Home Loan
Banks, is clearly in contravention of
the constitution. because it is a sub
Sidy with special privilege to a class
in the community" MIR. Robins adds
that in his opinion tax exemption
is one of the most powerful and in
sidious forces now making for state
control of banking and industry. In
this connection it is interesting to
observe that an the countries where
state socialism has made the greatest
progress control of banking resources
has been one of the first and most
potent, weapons in. the hands OF the
state socialists"
The test case referred to will de-
termine whether or not Mr.. Robins is
corrct in saying that tax exemption
is unconstitutional, and whether he is
right in maintaining that "it would
seem obviously wise to put these pub
lie agencies ON an equal plane with
private institutions, SO that both
might be compared on their merits.

Dollars and Cents.

Counting it only in dollars and
cents, how much did that last cold cost
you? A man may not always stop work
when he has cold, but perhaps it
would be better if he did. 1t takes
about ten days to get completely rid
of cold under the usual treatment.
That time can be much shortened by
taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and proper care of yourself, in fact,
bottle Of. this remedy in the house
is a mighty good investment during
the winter and spring months.

Chronic CONSTIPATION.

There are people who never have a
movement of the bowels without it is
produced by a cathartic. Most Of them
have brought that condition on them
selves by the use of mineral waters

much water out of the system and ag-
grayate the disease they are meant

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR STEP
HAN PAYS HOME TOWN VISIT

Lieutenant Governor George Step
han. and his wife reached Delta the
first of the week. travelling in their
auto. and are spending the week here.
Mr.. Stephan came at this time especi-
ally to visit his personal friend. Ed.
Mathews. who has been such critical
condition.
Owing to matters at the state house
being in such pressing shape, and
the absence of Governor Shoup, part
of the time. Mr.. Stephan. could not
stay over for the county assembly to-
day
Mr.. Stephan says that the funds al,
loted to eN-service men are now avail
able. This regulation permits each
ex-service man to borrow 5000, for a
period of five years, the first three
years without interest, and the, last
two years drawing interest at per ct.
1t is created for purpose of enabling
these men to take up vocational train
ing in any state educational institu'
ton. The law was passed at the last
session of the legislature.
Ex-service men desiring to take ad,
vantage of this may do so by address,
ing the governor for blanks. or they
may secured at the Independent of
flee. The fund will, in all probably,
we quickly exhausted and any eN-ser-
vice man desiring to take advantage
of this should do SO at once.

MERCHANTS INDIGNANT OVER
STREET PEDDlERs IN CITY

Thoroughly aroused by the general
influx Of mustard plaster. patent medi-
cine, corn cure. embroidery and gen.
eral merchandise vendors to the city
during the past few months, commit
tee of citizens appeared before the
city council Wednesday morning and
registered formal protest against
the promiscuous issuing of peddlers'
licenses
Mayor Stewart informed 'hem that
while he agreed that the matter had
reached a point appalling, still he did
not believe it fair to discriminate
against this class of peddlers and al
low the wholesale unloading, of stocks
for the many kinds of outfits repre-
sented in the city.
After some discussion it was ar
ranged that this committee should
meet with the city commissioners on
next Tuesday morning at their regu-
lar weekly business meeting, when it
was possible a plan could be found
whereby the ordinance could be re-
vised
The many industries started in this
city of late and the vast amount of
ready payroll cash seem to have Of
fered an inducement to hordes of IA
kris to take quarters here temporarily
and feather their nests by preying up
on those who happen to have the do
ra mi in their jeans.

TEAM FOR DELTA
is A THING OF THE PAST

Delta's baseball club is dead, death
being due to inanieion. The director
ate state that the club was costing
too much for the returns. and that late
hours, girls and the usual round of
nightly escapades on the part of some
OF the members, were part of the ele-
ments which caused the downfall of
the club.
All debts of the association have
been paid and the directors chose the
wiser course and quit while the quit
Ting was good.
The 1920 baseball club is dead, and
while the scalding tear courses down
our cheek we behold grave, the
flowers still fresh and soil still moist.

CHAMPIONSHIP FROM OUcRAY

In an exciting wrestling match at
Grand Junction Tuesday evening
August Sepp. California famous mat
artist. wrested the championship of
Colorado from Frank DuCray OF Grand
Junction. who has held the honor for
several years.
The combatants wrestled for an
hour and 3S minutes and the defeat

DuCray was thrown clear off the mat
twice. each time landing on the bare
floor on his head and shoulder, and
that before he really recovered himself
Sepp tackled him. However this be.
Sepp is mighty clean young sport
and a real athlete. 1t is said DuCray

uNcoMPAHGRE VALLEY PRO-
JEcT FOR MONTH OF JULY. 1920

During the month of July conditions
were very favorable for the growth of
all kinds of crop and the maturing of
early crops. Only few light show
.ers interfered with farm work. The
first crop of alfalfa hay was put up
with only slight damage from rains.
The second cutting at the end of the
month is being harvested at the north
end of project. The crops have all
made the normal growth for this time
of year although late in getting start
ed. The first carload shipments of
potatoes were sent to market during
the week ending July 25th and COM
manded price of S. per hundred.
Beets as a whole are looking good. but
a few fields were thinned and block
ed too late to obtain the best results.
Labor has been scarce both for farm
and canal work.
The first half OF the month there
was water enough to run the canals
to capacity or nearly so. The later
half OF the month some cut was neces-
sary. but the supply has, as whole.
been ample.
Water was delivered to the canal
system with very little Interruption.
The south canal was shut out on July
18th for inspection OF the Gunnison
unnel and the concrete lining of the
south canal. all OF which were found
in fairly good shape.
