Vote For Good Roads

Grave danger exists that Colorado
will lose its share of the money set
aside by Congress for the construction
OF good roads throughout the United
States. The moneys derived from the
one mill levy, from license fees and
from state gasoline tax are not suffi-
cient to maintain and repair existing
roads and, at the same time, meet dol
lar for dollar the so-called Federal aid
appropriations If the people of the
state do not come to the rescue of the
State Highway Department, Colorado
will be compelled to notify the Federal
government next year that large por-
tion of the money set aside for Colo
RADIO cannot be used.
The federal aid appropriation for
Colorado will exceed 81 1,O0O,O 900 for the
year 1921 and in 1922 it will be still
larger The only remedy at hand, to
secure this money for the state, is the
So 10000 bond issue, authorized by
the Twenty-Second General Assembly
and to be submitted to the people ut
the election in November. If this bond
iSue carries, the money will be sufri-
ciant to enable the state government
to take full advantage of Congress
liberality.
Vote for the Bonds!

Office of the Secretary

Rudolph johnson, Secretary
Bolder, Colo, Oct. l8, l920-Mr. f.
w Johnson, Lamar, Colo. Dear Frosty
i car assure you that the Colorado
State Grange has not turned Non
Partisan League, as has the Farmers
Union. John Morris, the State Man
ager, has become radical end Joined
the League; other members of the
Grange here and there belong to it;
and some Subordinate Oranges, three
or four, have become hot-beds of Nom
Partisan League propaganda. But
that is all. The big majority of mem-
bers have not joined, and are mostly
very strongly opposed to that organi-
zation. And leading members of the
Grange, such as C. W. Swayze, Otis
Scruggs, L. F. Brammeier, Robt. j.
Altig, Mrs. Agnes L. Riddle, myself,
end many others whom / can name,
are bitterly opposed to the whole radi-
cal proposition, both the leaders and
the program of the Non-Partisan
League.
AS you say, the Grange is not a
political organization, and politics
should not enter into the meetings.
But this organization has intruded in
to a few Oranges under the guise of
Economics" As {: matter of fact, the
name Partisan" is misnomer.
1t should be called the Partisan"
League, for it is as bitterly partisan
rs any political organization existing.
soma of the delegates wanted to bring
the League before the last convention
of the Colorado State Grange,
last January. some who want
ed us to endorse it, and others who
were determined We should denOunce
it; bat we managed to keep it out. 1t
probably would have been better to
have taken a stand, for know big
majority of tine delegates We're oppos-
ed to the League.

There was never q time when we were
so much in need of man on the job

Without regard to politics many jeo-

MISTAKE TO BE TAXPAYER
City Council Votes To Use Money For
Improvements to Aid utsiders
and Let Property Holders
Look After Streets.

If CORRECTLY reported in their official
organ the city council on Monday even
ing decided to stop the work of clean
ing up the rubbish and garbage on the
streets and alleys after the first of the
month. They also decided that even
though the sidewalks districts are still
paying heavy taxes on their bonds, the
city is under no obligations to main
tain repairs, and they also discussed
the matter of stopping street sprink-
ling. However, and nevertheless, when
the electric plant committee submitted
plans for more improvements in the
districts outside the city it was
promptly voted.
1t seems to be the idea of the city
council that taxpayers have no rights
which are to be considered at all. The
privilege of economizing TO meet the
taxes of the city levies is all they are
to get for their money, while the said
money is used to buy conveniences for
the people outside of town. The tax

This resolution was considered at
some length by the Committee on Pub
lie Highways of which Rarry C. Fland-
ers was Chairman. Its adoption was
practically unanamious and clearly
shows that the farmers of the State Of
Colorado are more than interested IN
good roads and realize that the State
Highway Commission must have addi-

the work already begun and to realize
the appropriations made to the State
