FEDERAL REPRESENTATION

Federal automobile registration or fees are proposed in each state. These will not supplant the present taxing and licensing methods pursued by the states. They will merely supplement their work for national purposes and establish a foundation for uniform certificates throughout the country. A nominal fee of S will be required to pay the expenses
 of the bureau and this will furnish the automobile owner with a certificate or
 abstract of title that will assure him that the title of his car is clear.
 "A federal theft bureau will also ba maintained which will afford quick and authentic information on automobiles sto- len anywhere in the United States. Such law, fostering uniform registration methods among the states. establishing a
 uniform system of certificates of title,
 maintaining national theft bureau an7 having behind all these the punch oi federal statutes will bring inestimable owning public and ought to reduce theft insurance rates perceptibly within three years.
 'The initial appropriation of $0000 is about one-tenth of what it ought to be The bill should also allow state registrars to deduct necessary registration expense: before proceeds are turned into the pub lie treasury, thus saving annual appro priatio at the hands of Congress. Thes, and other amendments will be worked out later, and in the meantime the spirit ane purpose of the bill should have energetic support.

OPINION OF A REPUBLICAN
EDITOR on NEWBERRY TRIAL

North Fork Times
The Democrats are just revealing in
the Newberry trial. which is now giving
the testimony Of the prosecution and
of course makes it look like one sided
affair and would seem to establish the
guilt of the defendent, beyond q doubt
Perhaps it would be better to wait un-
til the defense gave its testimony be-
fore passing judgment on the guilt or
innocence of the defendent. We have
said that he should be sent to the pen.
itentiary If he was proven guilty, but
have decided that it would be better to
hang him so as to make millionaires q
little cautious sbopt buying senator
ships. In our minds there is not bit
of doubt as to his guilt, but we do not
believe il is near so bad as the Demo
Gratis would have US believe. And fur
ther, no man can buy the senatorship in
any state for psltry s.. 600 or $40. 900.
And under our present political regime.
no one who has not the cash to buy il
can be elected. The senatorship is more
of a political commodity than q nee

HOOVER AND THE
WHEAT FARMER
New York World

New York World
There are political farmers and
speculative farmers who will complain
to the end Of their lives, as Senator
Gronna now does, about Mr.. Hoover
policy in regard to the price of wheat
when he was at the head of the Food
Administration, but the facts will al
ways be against them.
All consumers and most farmers
will not forget that wheat has been
yielding its producers about three
times as much as they formerly re
cciyCd By il. By fixing Il minimum
price the Government guaranteed the
grower 4 handsome return for his in
vestment and labor, and il protected
him from the raids of the wheat pit in
Chicago. Only the gamblers of the
markets and the farm had any reason
to bcmoan regulation that stabilized
prices and put money in the pockets
OF the farmers rather than in those
OF the middlemen.
Soon after the Armistice an attempt
was under way at Washington TO do
away with the fixed price for wheat.
Some of the leaders Of this movement
alarmed the country with predictions
that the Treasury would be bankrupt
ed If it persisted in that policy. Back
ed by the President, Mr.. Hoover re-
fused to be stampeded, and nothing Of
the kind has happened. The farmers
are to receive their guaranteed price
until July / next.
Merely as a measure Of justice to
the wheat growers this course has
proved of immense value to them, as
most of them appreciate, and it has
not injured the consumer. If there
had been 4 gambling market for last
years crop, most of it would have
gone cheaply into the hands of spec
ulators, who afterward would have
taken an eStortionate toll from the
consumer.

SAGUACHE COUNTY BOOM
ING ITS AGRICULTURE
Live Stock Also Feels Awakening

Written by W. o. Sander, County
aErc-l:GHist, for the Railroad Red
B5gE)
Saguache county, agriculturally, has
taken = new Lease on life uring the
last year or two. All branches Of the
live stock industry and agriculture
have felt this awakening. A few
years ago u would have stirred most
farmers 10 q fighting pitch had you
asked them to puy $500 for q pure
bred Shorthorn less than a year old.
Yet within the last month u sale Of
pgrc-bred ShorthoTns was held in this
county brought an average Of over
s40O for sixteen head The top Of the
sale was a young heifer less than =
year old, which brought $500. Next
month, another pure bred Shorthom
and Hereford sale will be held at an
other end Of the county. No doubt
this sale will be as successful as the
one just mentioned. This showing in
dicatcs the trend Of the movement to-
ward better live stock and better live
stock Is always a sign Of progress.
The grain in the county this year
Was the Best that was harvested in
many years. The average for last
=
acre, while this year il was %. Wheat
was exceptionally good this year.
Very few farmers received less than
grade No. ! for wheat al the local
MIL, and most OF This ran over GO
pounds to the bushel. Other grains
also were good. One field of oats
yielded 81 bushels per acre another,
IS, while the average for the county
was perhaps 30 bushels per acre.
The potato crop, while below nor
NAL, averaged about IS sacks per
acre, or about $50 bushels. Some far
mcrs who know how to iTr1gatc and
had good seed 10 begin with, got as
high as 500 bushels per acre.
These yields are increasing from
year 10 year as the farmers become
more inclined 20 better seed and bet
ter cultural methods. The large areas
Of farm land cannot be handled inten-
slyely by the small number of people
who live in this country. New set
tiers will tend to farm intensively
and thus greater returns will be OBJ
tanned each year.
The fact that various organizations
having for their purpose the building
up OF the county, are being formed,
shows that growth is taking place.
The towns of the county are filled
with people. Enterprises like the
Sl2j 900 consolidated school building,
are being put through. Progress is
generally present in the county simp-
ly because the soil gives abundant re-
turns for labor and invested capital.

puehlo Chief,

Pueblo Chieftain:-
Almost thirty years ago 4 ranch
, man named r. NJ. Berry, living near
Beulah. undertook an enterprise, the
results Of which are being enjoyed by
people of this vicinity, and which may
result in Il new industry for this Sec
ton of the country.
IL was just before this time of year,
and the thing he did was TO buy two
bags of fancy Kentucky blue grass
seed and SOW that seed over the
snow high up in the uplands IN what
Is now the San Isabel Forest Reserve
The seed grew and spread year by
year until now vast areas are sodded
with q splendid growth of Kentucky
blue grass Mr.. Berry lived at the
mouth of Devils canon and also plant
ed grass near there, so that Pueblo's
six hundred acre park which adjoins
the San Isabel National Forest, is
now included in The district which
now grows some of the grass
As grounds for predicting blue
grass seed industry for Colorado, can
be cited the history of the great blue
grass district of Missouri. In the
early days, an itinerats doctor used to
ride over the Missouri country in the
hills and always carried with him in
his saddle bags a few pounds of the
famous blue grass seed which he
scattered along the trails every where
| he went
Missouri is now one of the principal
centers of the blue grass seed industry
resulting mainly from the efforts Of
the Kentucky doctor,
It is certainly not improbable to
predict like result from the work Of
Mr.. Berry in our own National Re
serve. Meanwhile, the sod provides \
wonderful pasturage and has beauti-
fed many slopes in the mountains
near here, SO that it is an unusual
feature to be pointed to with pride by
Colorado people.

SMALLER TREES ARE
BEST FOR PLANTING
Large Trees Are Apt to Become
Stnted When Transplanted--Smai ailer
Ones Nose Vigorous
Agricultural News-Notes:-

Agricultural News Notes.
The planting of trees for shade
and windbreak purposes on irrigated
land in this state is apt to be most
successful in the end if nursery
stock of small size is used. "The
common idea is that the planting of
good sized tree gives that much gain
in time and growth over a small one,"
says Prof. Longyear of Colorado Agri-
cultural College. In some cases this
may be true in part, especially where
some water for irrigation is available
and with favorable soil conditions. In
the main however, the smaller trees
are easier to establish and in a few
years may overtake the larger ones
and give more permanent results.
The planting of a large tree is nearly
always followed by a stunting effect
while the small trees may start into
vigorous growth the first season. Then
too, the initial cost of small trees is
very much lower than that of the
large size and the planting is always
correspondingly inexpensive.
In all cases clean cultivation should
be maintained around such trees dur
ing the summer season or until the
middle of August.

THE FARMERS TALK
GOOD SENSE

Steamboat Springs Pilot
The sturdy common sense of the
farmers of the country may be relied
upon 10 strike the proper note in these
days of strikes and threatened strikes.
The farmer works long hours, is pa
iient, industrious and level headed. He
is the most important productive a
gency in the country. They may talk
about coal and transportation and all
other industries that would cause in
dustrial paralysis, but if the farmer
should quit business the whole world
would starve.
At a recent meeting of representa-
tives of four of the largest farmers
organizations, the National grange.
the American Farm Bureau fedora
ton, the Cotton States board and the
Associated Farmers Union presidents,
it was agreed that the attitude of the
farmers in recent events and happen
ings" should be made plain. They
issued a manifesto in which they said:
"Those who believe that labor has
an inherent right to organize strike
believe that such organizations have
right to starve the people in the
cities to death, on the one hand, and
to destroy the property of the farmers,
on the other. No such right has ever
existed and no such right exists now.
1t is economically unsound and the
American people can and will work
out some other method for the settle
ment of such controversy.
"No set of men ever had the moral
or legal right to destroy property or
cause suffering by conspiring to-
gether and the welfare of the people
must ever remain superior to that Of
any class or group Of people.
"What would be the verdict of the
people if the farmers of the United
States should suddenly decide to go
on a strike and refuse to supply the
wants and needs of those who are not
in a position to produce food and
clothing for themselves? They would
be condemned from one end of the
country to the other, and the fact
would be pointed out that they, as
the owners and tillers of the land, had
no right, either moral or legal, to
bring about such calamity.
''if the farmers who own and oc-
cupy the land have no such moral or
legal right, then why should it be con-
ceded by any one that those who hand
lie the farmers products have right
to block the transportation or indus
trial facilities of the country and thus
jeopardize the food and clothing sup
ply of the nation? II the farmers
have no such rights, those who handle
his products have no snch rights"
