JUDGE LINDSEY HAS
SMALL ELECTION COST

DENVER.-The only Democrat on
the national, state, legislative or
county tickets in this city to be
elected in the recent election, Ben B.
Lindsey, juvenile court Judge, and
widely known lecturer, declares, his
victory proves that the lavish ex-
penditure of money for campaign
purposes is entirely unnecessary.
In returning his report of cam
paign expenses Judge Lindsey
pointed out to the election commits
sioners that "the lesson of the cam
paign was that candidate doesn't
have to spend money to be elected"
Judge Lindsey said that his ex-
penses were $3.50, part of which was
paid to the Democratic state commit
tee and the remainder for advertis-
ing. His friends, the Judge said,
probaly spent $1,000 in his behalf.
1T is fair to say" Judge Lindsey
declared, that in previous cam
paigns my own personal expenses
have been from $4,000 to $4,000,
and the lesson of this campaign
would seem to teach that much Of
this money is unnecessarily and
wastefully spent.
II presume that / should have
used similar sums this year, but |
simply did not have it to spend"
Judge Lindsey was elected by ap-
proximately 10000 majority over his
opponent, while every
other Democratic candidate was bur-
led in Republican landslide.

Secretary Baker Says
Army Should Be Well
Trained and Equipped

WASHINGTON.-Wh the United
States may never be called upon to
take the offensive in war, the world
war has taught the necessity of a
strong and thoroly organized army
for national defense. Secretary Baker
says in his annual report to the Pres
ident, made public lately.
The Secretary points out that the
regular army must exhibit in it's
peace time organization the combina-
tions and combinations which are re-
quired in war, that the several
branches of the service must learn
the parts they are to play, and that
there must be an "army of special
lists" abreast of the developments in
war, making all possible applica lions
of the discoveries of science and in
vention to military uses, and main
tanning at all times the army "at
the highest point Of efficiency"
Pointing out that from 1776 to
1920, period Of LA years, the
United States has been engaged in
major domestic or foreign wars about
one out of every four years and it's
military power has been in active use
in military operations about three
out of every four years." the secre-
tary adds:
While we do not need a great
standing army, we must live in the
world as it is,0while we struggle to
make 1t what it should be, and we
must have body of trained men,
large enough in numbers to be an
effective working model upon which
great armies can be swiftly built in
the event of emergency. A justice
loving people may be forced by trag-
ic necessity to resort to war, but it
has no right to ask its sons to fight
its battles out-armed and out-shield-
ed by an adversary"

WHY CALLED BAY HORSES

Where Is there a man who would
not ridicule his wife If she spoke of
red horse land yet how few hus-
bands could correctly explain to her
why that most popular of all colors
of the equine race is called bay and
not red.
History tells us that in an earlier
day horses in Europe were pied or
i-colored-white, yellow and liver
color predominating with black some
times substituted for one of the first
named cOlors. A certain breeder Of
many horses had his headquarters
near the seashore at an indentation
of the coast or bay He fancied the
liver color most, and indulging his
fancy, began selecting and breeding
stock animals possessing most of his
favorite color. By means of this
selection colts were produced from
year to year possessing more and
more liver color, until solid colored
horses composed the herd. Every
body became familiar with the fact,
and when one Of his herd strayed
away all Seeing the animal knew it
belonged at the bay, and they came
to speak of them as "the bay horses"
having reference to the location of
the horses at the bay rather than to
the shade of color.
Finally the habit grew to fixity
and as these horses strayed or were
sold and transferred to other loca-
lions they are still known as the bay
horses, so at last the appellation
was made to designate the color
rather than the location where the
color had been extended by selection
until the spotted or broken colored
horse had become the one solid color,
before called liver colored, but there
after "bay. Il. G. Holden in Gem

A GLANCE AT THE
TAX NOTICES.
The open season for taxes is on.

The open season for taxes is on.
The notices have been sent out by
the tax collector.
These notices have been the topic
of conversation ever since their re.
ceipt. Not that there is anything uni
que or unusual about the receipt OF
a tax notice, but that these particular
notices seem to call for an unusual
amount of money before one receives
his receipt.
Yes, taxes are high and 1t seems
that taxes should be expected. Every
thing else is high so why not taxes?
Some seem to be inclined to lay the
blame on public officers, though just
why seems a little hard to figure out.
The officers fix the valuations and
levys 1t is true, but it would be very
difficult to show that either are
higher than necessary to meet the
legitimate demands made.
The fact is that we have been 60
ing at a pretty rapid pace in the mat
ter of public improvements as we'll
as in other directions. In addition
to this those same improvements have
been made under an era Of high
prices. The cost even of the supplies
and materials for the county officers
are much higher than normal.
If we are to have good roads, paved
streets, ETC., as we have insisted that
we have, some one must foot the BILL
The same applies to our schools. Mod
ern education demands that we have
good buildings well equipped and
that our course of study extend fur
Their than the traditional three RS.
These things all cost and have ad-
vanced proportionately with the in
crease in other lines.
II any of these tax bills are to be
cut down where will the knife be
applied? We must have our state and
county governments. We must have
local highway improvements and GER
tainly we must have good schools
not only good schools but schools so
good that there' are none better. We
in the city believe in paved streets,
and cement walks. We certainly
would not discard our street light
ing and we certainly cannot afford
to be without adequate fire protec-
ton both in water pressure and up
to-date fire fighting apparatus. All
of these things we consider an in
vestment at least, if not an asset
worth all they cost in dollars and
cents. The city has always been found
to go strong for more and better
schools for the entire district, for
road improvement, for the farmers
as we'll as for their own indirect
benefit, even If the expense of all
these do overlap on heavy local ex-
pense within the city for which the
city taxpayers tax only themselves.
If all this is deemed compatible
with modern life and modern civil
organization then it must be paid for.
The whole program calls for money
and will continue to call for money
as long as it is followed. The only |
escape from the expense is it's aban-
donment here and now. Likely there |
are very few who will advocate the
latter alternative.

BRITISH PLAN TEN
THOUSAND ARRESTS
Will Attempt to Break
Sim Fem by Prison
Route

DUBLIN.-Ten thousand arrests
before Christmas to break the Sinr
Fem! ' .g
That is the program of the British
government in Ireland, according te
declarations made by Sim Feiners
following the continuance over the
week end of the wholesale gathering
in Of suspected Irishmen.
For the week the roundup of the
Irish brought the total of men un-
der arrest to the neighborhood OF
1000 and the pulling in of the
meshes of the net continues.
Tons of documents have been seiz-
ed. Dublin Castle is busy sorting
them in efforts to gain new leads.
The beginning Of the new week
finds all jails and military prisons
in Ireland crowded to the doors;
hence the necessity for the establish
ment Of the internment camps, half
a dozen of which are being hastily
thrown up. 1t is declared every
known member of the Republican
army will be lodged in these camps.
All of the men being arrested are
to be denied trials. They will be heav-
lily guarded in the internment camps
and their food will be supplied from
government stores.
The whole situation, as the week
opens, points to the determination
Of the government to put Erin prac-
tically on war basis as far as hand
ling the Sim Fein movement is con-
cerned,
The arrest of Arthur Griffith, vice
president and acting head of the
Dali Eireann in the absence of Ea-
NOM de Valera in the United States
remains unexplained. No charge has
been lodged against him and there
are even some reports to the effect
that he was taken into custody to
prevent his assassination at the
hands of the Ultra Irish elements.
Griffith has been known as mod
crate. These reports, however, are
generally discredited.
The United States is about to be
treated to fake" moving pictures OF
a Sim Fem atrocity, was learned.
A fortnight ago Dublin Castle is
sued a description of an attack on
a group of photographers who were
declared to be touring in County
Kerry. 1t was declared that band of
seventy Sim Feiners ambushed the
party but that IL escorting auxi-
liary police (black and tans) beat
off the assailants, killing six of them
and wounding several, while M
more were taken prisoners. 1t was
added that the moving picture men
meanwhile had taken films of the
sanguinary battle.
The story never had been con-
firmed from any Independent source
and was not credited.
Last week the pictures of the
battles" were released and viewed
by many. They show that the battle,
as such, did not occur in County
Kerry but was framed affair enact
ed within trolley ride from the CEN
ter of Dublin.
These pictures are to be used in |
the United States.

In addition to this radio work
