Substantial paving of the streets In
that residential section of the city

be among the early probabilities in
these dawning days of Pueblo's bound

Something like six years ago the
Mineral Palace paving district was
formed: IL embraced the territory from
Tenth to Twenty fourth and from
North Main to Elizabeth streets ~

a storm sewer system was installed,
parking spaces in front of the property
lines were laid out and substantial
curbs and cutters OF concrete were
built. The street surfacing was done
with gravel. thought by many at that
time to be the best material for a
residential street. but no sooner was
the work completed than disssitisf1c-
ton began to be expressed. for in
times of heavy travel, or when there
were heavy winds or downfalls Of
rain, II was found that the surfacing
would not stay.
Complaints continuous have been
heard ever since, and more than a
year ago a movement was set on foot
to pave with asphalt. This failed thru
objecting property owners who criti-
cized the proposition on two important
grounds. One was that asphalt had
proven very unsatisfactory ever since

INSISTS ALLIES
PAY us. DEBTS
Senator Watson of Indiana De.
mands Some Settlement as
Taxation Relief.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES,
International News Service.

The growing conviction among
administration leaders in Congress
that something must be done i'm
mediately to tighten the terrific
taxation burden under which the
nation is now staggering found
expression today in a statement
from Senator James E. Watson of
Indiana, declaring that European
nations should be required to Ii
quidate at once the $4,000, ,0OO,-
600 which they owe the United
States.
SIGNIFICANCE OF VIEWS.
Senator Watson is a member of the
Senate Finance Committee, and is a
taxation and tariff legislator of long
years OF experience in both House
and Senate. His views expressed to-
day were taken as indicative of the
course he will urge in the conferences
with other Senate and House leaders
beginning this week.
I'VE should make definite arrange
ments with our debtors to pay a fixed
amount each year, whatever the sum,
SO that we may have definite assur-
ances of just how much we may ex-
pect from that quarter" said Senator
Watson.
Domestic taxation relief is the most
important issue confronting the new
Administration, in Senator Watson's
opinion, and he inclined strogly to the
view that the new Congress should
tackle the job before attempting to
frame any new tariff law. Tariff is
important, but it can wait until the
people are given some assurance of
tax relief, he said
The business world expects i'm
mediate relief from the great burden
of taxation" continued the senator,
"and it is clearly the first duty of the
Republican party to meet this ex-
pectation.
WOULD END PROFIT TAX.
1--WE should repeal at once the ex-
cess profits tax and the higher sur
taxes imposed by the present tax
law, and substitute for them a modest
sales tax and at the same time clarity
and simplify the administrative fea-
lures of the law"
Senator Watson expressed the opin-
ion that IL would be unwise to pass
a temporary tariff measure based on
the old Payne-Aldrich, or the Dingley
or Mckinley laws"
None OF them are at all applicable
W thO cAiStius situdiOH. ne COM
tinued. land to attempt to make any
one of them applicable would be to
enter upon the enactment of a com
plete tariff law on the floor of the
Senate practically without previous
by any committee.
such a bill might be put through
the House, but not through the Sem
ate, and such an attempt would inevi-
tably result in endless confusion"
Senator Watson also declared in
favor of the adoption at once" of a
budget system so
that we may cut cloth according to
the plan and then proceed in all
ways to the reduction of govern
mental expenses to the lowest point
consistent with efficient administra-
tion.'
