Lamar Not Responsive

Some of the itinerant labor organ
izers, called such because they live
without work on the dues paid by real
laborers, came down from Pueblo last
Friday evening and called a meeting
at the high school auditorium for the
purpose of trying to restore the clos
ed shop in Lamar. 1t was not very
largely attended and some of the time
was taken up by the Pueblo carpet
baggers, who failed to run Pueblo but
want to try it out on Lamar, in de
nouncing The Registers position in
favor of the rights of every man to
work and enjoy the fruits of his labor
without molestaticn from any organ
ization of either capital or labor They
met with little encouragement as La
mar after 4 nightmare under the
closed shop plan is now enjoying n
building boom unGer the open shop,
and there is more work for the real
workingmen than ever before. The
people here are capable of running
their own business without any inter-
ference from Pueblo's failures.

A REAL COURT HOUSE
Prowers County VIII Build Real Pub
lie Structure, One That Will
Meet Needs for Years TO
Come and be a Matter
of Public Pride.

The commissioners have decided that
the day of dallying with the public
needs and conven.ences is past, and
that Prowers county will construct a
modern, practical and ample court
house to meet the requirements Of
even this growing section for years
to come. The fine location that has
been secured just south of the post
office and facing tie Masonic temple
and the proposed Elks home will be
more convenient for the public by far
than the present location and the
square will soon become the beauty
spot of our city.
There could be nothing more out of
date than the structure that our coun-
ty officials have had to put up with
in the past. The score of stoves makes
the janitor's job heavy one for the
winter months, while the crowded
quarters built for the needs of a coun-
ty of three thousand population and
an assessed valur of one and half
millions are only made possible by
constant additions and remodelling.
One after another officers have been
forced to move down town, and the
constant changes there have forced
them to move repeatedly causing dis
comfort and inconvenience to them
selves and the public. The day of
gloom is about over and will be fol-
lowed by a day of pride in the best
court house in the valley. The COM
missioners with a far sight to the
every day increasing splendor of the
developments in this valley are going
to commence soon the erection of an
odifice that will furnish ample quar-
tiers for the officers and ample storage
room and protection for the valuable
records for many years to come. 1t
is estimated that building of this
kind will cost a quarter of a million
dollars, and arrangements are under
way to begin operations at once. The
lots are all pad for and fund Of
$4,000 accumulated towards the
building.
The commissioners wish to get the
sense of the taxpayers as to whether
they desire this money to be raised
by direct taxas.on covering a period
of about four years or whether a por-
tion shall be raised by bond issue
The county car vote if the taxpayers
desire Sl25,OOO in bonds thus cutting
the taxation for building purposes al
most half in two the first four years
A ballot will be found on this page
and in each of the county papers this
week giving the taxpayers an oppor-
tunity to be heard and on the returns
from these ballots the commissioners
will gain the sentiment of the tax
payers with regard to method Of rails
ing the money and will make their ar
rangemeats accordingly.
