TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS
FOR BIG DEMONSTRATION

A. +. Osterloh, Jr., of the Rocky
Mountain Auto Trades Association,
arrived here Tuesday to make pre-
liminary arrangements for the forth
coming visit in this vicinity Of n car
avan of pneumatic tired trucks
which is making tour of education
through the farming communities of
this region.
The unique tour, which is being
made under the auspices of promi-
nent Denver motor truck distribu-
tors. is known as the Rocky Noun
tain Auto Trades Farm Development
Tour.
The demonstrations being made
by this unique motorcade constitutes
radical departure from previous
motor truck tours. BY actually
hauling farm produce from the
farms along the route of the tour to
eastern Colorado shipping points
without charge to the farmers, the
trucks will show the food producers
of this vicinity Just what they can
do to facilitate the moving of crops.
cope with the labor shortage, and
replace horses in farm operations,
with the motor trucks.
Speakers will accompany .the tour
to explain the important part being
taken by the motor truck in solving
the country's transportation prob
lens. Interesting motion pictures
will also be shown II night meetings.
Free demonstrations will be given
on farms, to show that the pneuma-
tie tired truck is faster. costs less
to operate and does not do the dam
age to highways that other vehicles
do.
II will also be shown that prosper
lty depends upon production and
transportation and in communities
where the motor truck has been
adopted on large scale there has
been great saving in the cost Of
distribution.
|. a local committee. consisting of
Mayor Garland. chairman. and a
number of business men of the city,
is making arrangements to welcome

THE NoNpARTIsAN LEAGUE

Indications leave no doubt that
the nonpartisan league is putting
forth every effort to make showing
which will enable them to become
an important factor in the present
campaign. We have been frequently
asked for an expression of opinion
rs to. the aims, policies and aspira-
tions of the league. These questions
are difiicule to answer for several
reasons. One of these reasons is
the fact that the leaders of the
movement do not believe in ''pitiless
publicity, but confine their organi-
zation work as far as possible to
individual solicitation and to news
papers which circulate only among
their own membership.
We are certain, however, that
there is no reason for the alaiSl
which is expressed in some quarters
that there is anything dangerous
or revolutionary in the movement.
The farming class has long felt
that there were many equalities in
our political and industrial system
which should be corrected. but were
undecided as TO the proper steps to
pursue to correct these evils, and
when panacea for these ills is
offered. prepared and ready for
use, it is not surprising that he is
ready to accept them.
If these promises are based on
justice and practical, common sense,
the nonpartisan league will, and
should, grow and become more
powerful with time. If, on the other
hand, and as many believe. the prin-
ciples of the organization are i'm
practical and visionary. and with
n leadership composed of self-seek-
ing me nwithout high motives or an
unselfish desire for the public good,
the very membership of farm men
and women comprising its member
ship will help TO kill it as soon us
these facts have become known. II
this latter statement is the true one
the organizers and leaders of the
movement have done the farmers
themselves an irreparable injury
through promising many things not
capable of fullfillment, and dis
couraGing further efforts for co-ope-
rative endeavor.
The statement which has been nd
vanced that farm organizations in
general and the grange in particular
is behind the movement and has
given their endorsement is not true.
Many members of the grange are
enthusiastic over the league, but il
is also true that many others high
in its councils believe that the move
ment will prove harmfpl to farm or
CARNATIONS in the end.
The writer believes that the COM
bination of the radical labor element
with the farm vote is not practical,
and that if the efforts of the leaders
to combine these elements so ms to
control the legislature were success
ful, the farmers themselves would
find the results far different from
what they anticipated.
Labor's demands rs expressed al
their convention at Montreal and be.
fore the national conventions of the
democratic and republican partie,
is n fair indication of what thei
