will solve the paving problem for

G00D ROADS
BILL CARRIES

The Good Roads bill appropriating
five million for state highways has
passed by large majority. Two
million of this will match federal
money and the balance is distributed
among counties according to mileage.
This ought to give Gunnison quite a
chunk. 1t is time to start the ball
rolling for short cut to Denver via
Alpine pass.
A park to park national highway to
cost ten million is proposed. In order
to reach Mesa Verde park such q high
way must pass near Gunnison. Why
not via Alpine pass. It is the shortest
and most logical thorofare, jogging
west to Montrose and thence south to
Mancos.

Hoover Urges
Regulation Of
Trade Boards

Tepeka, Kan, Oct. 14.-Control
of boards of trade to prevent price
speculation in farm products was
advocated by Herbert Hoover, to-
day at a conference of heads OF
Kansas farm organizations, bank
ers, grainmen and business men
here.
Mr., Hoover, however, main
tained that boards of trade have
as important a part to maintain in
the economic life of the nation as
have banks and that the regula-
ton should be under legal regula-
tions similar to those applied to
banks, in particular. that manipu-
lation Of prices should be elimin-
ated by limiting the volume OF
trade to the amounts of grain
available and to the respective
needs of the purchasers.
The cooperative marketing move
ment was indorsed by Mr.. Hoover.
If a national market could be
established to compel free, open
trading on hedging contracts, with
prices for future delivery fixed for
six months or a year in advance,
the effect would be to stabilize
prices, subject only to worldwide
conditions, Mr.. Hoover said. The
farmer then would have no object
in holding his grain for higher
prices, he said.

Stal1field Is
Oregon S Hope
Senator Says

i Declaring that only by maintain
ing the present republican majority
in the United States senate can the
senatorial lethargy now existing,
be eliminated, Senator H. Piles of
Seattle, asasiled the Wilson admin
istration and attacked Senator
George e. Chamberlain in an ad-
i dress at the Salem armory We'd
nesday night.
| The speaker minimized the eff
facacy of the league of nations,
contehding that the court of JUS
tice" plan offers a solution Of the
problems involved in efforts to pre-
serve international peace.
An audience Of about $50 per-
sons heard the speakers laudatory
survey Of the candidacy of Robert
N. Stanfield for election to the
United States senate. Senator Piles
conrtsated the present democratic
administration and its accomplish
ments with records made by re-
publican administrations, asserting
that G. O. =. rule was always con-
structive.
Even with republican presi7
dent how are we going to put these |
sound republican policies into ef- |
fect?" asked the speaker. 1--WE |
must elect only republicans to the
senate. In oregon, it can be done
only by electing Robert N. STAN
field"
Senator Piles declared that final
results from the south will be a
shock and a surprise to democratic
and asserted that re-
publican landslide would carry
Warren G. Harding into the presi-
lential chair.
Turning his attention to present
costs of necessities, the Washing
on senator charged that existing
high prices can only be blamed
ipon the democratic administra- .
ion. In connection with this
,harge, the senator said that the
administration had failed to look I
nto the future and make immense
purchases in order to control prices
# commodities.
Because of this lack of foresight,
ugar and other products have fall
en- into the hands of profiteers,
