From time to time complaints
have reached this office regarding
violations of the State and city trar-
fic regulations, and It begins to
look as if some drastic action will
have to be taken.
The State Rangers are here and
have given official notice that vio-
lators will be punished without de-
lay.
Among other instances was one in
which Lyle and Bunny Taylor, small
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. H. o. Taylor,
were driving up Garnet hill out OF
Delta few evenings ago, when a
heavy car came bearing down upon
them, crowding them completely off
the grade They state that the lights
were not dimmed and that the glare
precluded the possibility of keeping
the road with their horse. The
buggy turned completely over sew
eral times, both boys were thrown
out, the horse rolling over one of
them. Fortunately both boys es-
capped with minor bruises and
scratches as well as the horse.
: On Saturday evening as Mrs. F.
L. Martin passed the Sprung ranch
on Garnet Mesa she was crowded
into ditch by Ford car without
lights. She did not see the car until
1t was right upon her. It was not
driving at a high rate Of speed, else
the horse, which was struck and
pushed from his path. would have
been killed. Mrs. Martin saved her
self by jumping. The driver of this
car stopped and gave assistance and
claimed the blame for the accident.
The horse received only slight cut
on her side.
These are only few of the in
stances reported, but more serious
accidents may happen if these reck-
less practices are continued.

WE'VE SEEN THE LAST
OF TIGHT MONEY

Money ought to ease up now pref
ty soon. The bankers cannot ap-
ply the screws to legitimate business
enterprise any longer with safety to
themselves. The bankers last re-
manning excuse has been discounted
by the action of the Federal Reserve
Banks in reducing the discount rate
to 51s per cent.
In other words. the reserve ratio
for the country now actually tops
80 per cent, after adding the IS per
cent required against deposits, writes
the editor Of Sugarman's Indicator.
Here is good news for the country
at large The extraordinary facilities
extended TO the bankers by the FED
eral Reserve Board cannot fail In
making their accumulated reserves,
already skyhigh, available to the
average business man.

Let's Have A Lawn

Let's Have a Lawn
From time to time we hear the
remark: why doesn't the Rio
Grande put a parking and lawn at
either end Of the splendid new de-
pot?" And why not? The cost would
be remarkably small compared to
the result and the added interest for
the town. The objection has been
made that drivers object because
they wish to park their cars nearer
the track, but this is preposterous,
as cars can park just west OF the
depot and lawn as planned, and It's
a poor stick that can't walk the
width Of the station platform to

BR|T0NS ALARMED OVER PROSPECTS
 OF LESS COTTON
Great Curtailment in Acreage Devoted to Staple Predict
 ed Unless Measures Taken.

MANCHESTER, England, Feb. 2 A leading cotton grower has sent a message to Sir Charles McCara that a world cotton conference De called without delay, to deal with the situa- ton arising from the decline in the price of fibre and ihe threatened 50 per cent reduction in acreage under cotton, says the Manchester Guardian. In the course of an inter view, Sir Charles, who is one of the largest manufacturers of cotton of Great Britain said:
 Cotton has fallen a long way O2- low cost of production, and the in evitable result will be that g great curtailment in the acreage devoted to cotton will follow. l have con tended for many years that cotton is a commodity which. if properly pack ed and stored, can be kept for many years without deterioration.
 "A recommendation such as I made at the outbreak of the war; that the surplus cotton should be taken over DN Ilt governments llltclCotI'i' should be adopted now. This would save tte situation. If action is not taken we shall have a repetition oi what occurred early in the war when cotton fell from 7l2 pence to pence a pound, involving all con cerned in heavy losses, and subse quently rose to A pence, increasing the price of the worlds cotton cror by Gl.0OO, 100000 and raising the price of clothing enormously.
 We are undoubtedly suffering from the press campaign of slump the restriction of credit to bring about forced sales. and the govern ment excess profit duty, which, in stead of encouraging industry, has had the effect of strangling it.
 These are the factors mainly re sponsible for the present dearth 0 business. from which, however, there is bound to be a great reaction Both boom and slump are equally pcrnicious What is wanted is re adjustment of values
