OLD WAGON ROAD
TO BE OPENED TO
AUTOMOBILE TRAFFIC

Steamboat Springs, Colo, June 81
Gore Pass road, probably the. Oldest
wagon road across the Continental di-
vide but yer which, it is said, no
automobile has ever gone, SOON will
be opened to motor traf1c.
The state and Routt county have
each appropriated $4,000 for the
Improvement Of the road aud work ia
scheduled to begin soon. Only a small
portion Of the road on top of the d.
vide is in poor condition but that por-
ton a he pass impossible for
automobiles. Gore Pass road connects
Tonopas in the southern end Of Egeria
park. with Kremmling in Middle park.
1t has easy grades and Is said to be
clear Of snow a month later in the fall
and a month earlier in the spring than
any other. road crossing the, divide In
this region.
Gore Pass road was. first crossed,
with wagons in 1856 when Sir George,
Gore, an Irish nobleman, and an
army OF servant and retatnefR trav-
cling in thirty wagons under guidancei
OF Jim Bridger, penetrated, the wilder
ness beyond the pass in search Of
game. Sir George is reported to have
killed thousands of bison. elk. deer
and antelope during the three years.
he spent in the Rockies. During that
period his men built roads for him
into many portions of the mountains.
In 1856. General Bella NJ. Hughes,
pioneer stage manager, opened a.route'
between Denver and Salt Lake over
Gore Pass. taking advantage Of the
work already done by Sir Georges
men. A stage company was-chartered
to operate vehicles between the two
cities but the stages were never run.

WHEAT, FLOUR AND BREAD,

Their has been a great deal of talk
OF p~rofiteering in flour and bread
during and since the war. Possibly
there may have been individual cases
Of yprofiteering. But in a statement
just issued Julius Barnes. late Unit
States. wheat director, maintains that
no evidence of this offense being gen
eral can be found in the prevailing
prices for the war years as compared
with the conditions just before the
war.
Taking the average price of wheat
for the year 1913 as the base. repre-
sented by 100, and using the average
retail prices of flour and bread for
that year in the same Mr..
! Barnes finds that in April, 1920, the
price of wheat was represented by
800. retail flour by 245, and retail
bread by 200.
Z The figures for the intervening years
u in about the same proportions.
In all cases the greatest increase has
been in the price Of wheat, the next
/ greatest in the retail price of flour.
and the last in the retail price of
bread.
The statement by Mr.. Barnes was
called forth by the charge recently
made BY. W. Jett Lauck, economist
for the railroad brotherhoods, in a
recent report to the railroad labor
board.

PROHIBITION ESTABLISHED.

BY its DECISION handed down on Mon
day, following other decisions a week
earlier, the federal supreme court has
established the validity OF the prohibi-
ton amendment to the constitution
and the rolstead act providing means
for it's enforcement. The whole ques-
ton as to the validity of the amend
ment and of the powers of congress
to enact laws providing for its enforce
ment may now be regarded as settled.
On the main point at issue there has
not seemed to be any good reason to
suppose that the decision would be
otherwise. The amendment was at
tackled. among other things, on the
ground that such an amendment in
volved principles which could not
properly be submitted to the people
DR. lawfully Incorporated in the consti-
tuition of the United States. That look
ed like a flimsy argument. The con-
stitution make provisions for Its own
amendment. Those who framed it
did not undertake to say what their
SUCCESSORS should or should not incor-
porate In the fundamental law Of the
land. Had they done SO 1t is prob
able that their work would have been
overthrown long ago, for the very es-
Of democracy is that the people
of a country shall have full authority,
after due consideration, to enact what
ever laws they desire.
HL4 a~-,->> .AA~ >s-Ak~ -.
invoked to defeat the amendment, and
it was urged that when The nation un-
dertook to dictate what beverages
should be used by the people Of this
state or that it vas trespassing on the
rights which the states possessed be-
fore the constitution was established.
and Of which they cannot be deprived.
But again it is held that the nation is
supreme in those matters wherein It
chooses to assert itself. The issue Of
concurrent jurisdiction complicated
this phase Of the matter, but the court
cuts the knot and says that concur
rent jurisdiction, while it gives The
state the right to enforce, does not
give it the right to obstruct enforce
ment.
The only contention Of Importance
which has been brought prominently
into this case, and on which there
seemed room for real doubt. was that
with reference to the use Of the refer
endum. 1t was alleged by complain
ants that in states where the laws pro-
vided for the review of acts Of the leg
islature by means of the referendum,
the ratification Of a constitutional
amendment should be subjected to the
same procedure. The court has denied
this, constituting literally the provision
that amendments are to be ratified by
the action of state legislatures. With
all due respect to the court. it seems
quite probable that the trainers of the
constitution intended that the people
OF the states should ratify amend
ments through the agencies which
they had created for the enactment
OF their laws, and that they would
have had no objection to the referen-
DUN Of that instrument had it then
been in common use as 1t is now. How
ever, the main thing is that the thing
has been settled. and we shall all know
what the situation is.
