PEOPLE RESENT
DENVER ATTITUDE
Mayor Bai|eys Injjmlctive Attack
on Road Bond Issue
Decidedly Unpopular
BUSINESS BOOMERANG

Chickens come home TO roost'' is
a maxim that is as true as it is old and
homely, and unless the Post is very
much mistaken, the extent to which it
has already been brought into play
against Denver is as nothing to what
the developments of the next thirty
days will reveal unless Mayor Bailey
draws in his horns and dismisses the
injunctive action he has started in the
district court against the availability
of the five million dollars road bond
issue voted by the people last fall In
the interest of better highways, not
alone in behalf Of Denver, as Denver
would wish, but in the interest and for
the benefit of the whole state of Colo
RADIO.
Good roads on the western slope are
of quite as much interest and value to
the Denver people who drive or who
would drive over in this country az
good roads near Denver are of interes,
to us.
Since Mayor Bailey's drastic and i'll
advised action was started, commercial
organizations in western and southern
| Colorado have taken the matter up in
vigorous fashion, and already definite
steps have been taken by business men
to patronize Wholesale houses elsewhere,
and unless definite and successful efforts
are made to head off the erratic and
vengeance seeking mayor of Denver,
jobbing interests of that city will ere
long have occasion to regret the fact
that they permitted the official head
Of their city TO prostitute his high posi-
tion to punish people who failed to see
The commercial clubs Of Trinidad,
see their way clear to vote hole IN
the ground for the benefit of Denver.
Pueblo, Denver, Montrose, Grand June
tion, Glenwood Springs, and many other
points in Colorado, have taken the mat
ter up with the Denver Civic and Com
mercial Association, which IL positive
ly opposed to Mayor Bailey's kinder
garten tactics, while individual dealers
have expressed their disapproval to the
Denver wholesale houses with which
they do business, in \ manner that
leaves M doubt vhatcyer as to their
meaning.
Already many Glsnwood buyers arc

Mr. Editor: h reply te the letter sigh ed F. s. in Mondays Bulletin, Win say I am also interested in the edito- rial on the subject of fires.

 aTh a woman but not of the hard headed" variety F. :. $. sbeaks Of, and have had quite little experience fighting fires. wilt add, hot one. of them was set by a woman.
 Tn my sxpefiehce women afs a great deal more careful than men and I, think way down deep in his heart, F. S. viii agree with me. Evidently he is an "Old Bachelor" a Woman Hater," any way, I kno@ by his 4etter he never helped to give women $ right >to the ballot. As to their lack of good judgment, don't know where he got the idea unless from the fact that the mAioritx of them mar Fl t1eh. If our corresp p4tidefit would only df6p $ word to tRe many careless ciga- fetts Smokers and t6bzoco users. who roam the fields and woods, perhaps he would reap bigger harvesti in helping to do away with forest fires than if he stayed on his premises to guard the rub bish pile :.

What he saved ths young republic can never be computed. So wonderfully did his system work that In one year only three muskets were un- accounted for in the whole army

f11E FOB BUDGET SYSTEM.

In connection with the emphasis which the president placed upon the establish ment of theI governments business upon a business basis he took occasion to lay stress upon the need of legislation that will provide for the national budget sys- tenn. It is a matter which has been de- !ayed too long ana certainly the time is now ripe when it should be employed in establishing the economies and busi- ness methods so essential to the minimum of expenditure"
 Evidence has been nianifested for considerable period of sentiment fa- vorable to a national budget system. But for the objection which vas fSised by President Wilson to the bill adopted by the last congress it would now be in operation. The objection is one that can be easily remedied and had harmony prevailed between the executive ana the last eongress 1t seems pf6babie that tKt measure would have been quickly diss posed of at the time.
 Just as long. however. as the gov ernrnent continues to do business with out such system it is failinS to es- tablish the means of piaGink 1t 6i4 tie proper business basis that should be expected where such Iafge Expenditures arc Involved.
 President Harding sets forth anew the duty of congress in this particular. Whatever may have been the need of such a system in the past 1t is plainly efvdent that such factor should never be dfsregarded in dealing with the finan- cial tasks before the country at the bre4. ent time
 Having the endorsenisht Si SAfiy, eaii. ed for by the president and bearing th. support of the secretary of the treasury there ought to be no delay on the part of congress in putting through the meas ure which has reesived stich a lsnStEy consideration ahd whEch it has pfsyioliS. ly acted upon favorably. It Is one of the necessary steps to be taken to nut a sys- tenn in the governments business go greatly needed to bring about the. 6esirsd efficiency and to overcome the deplorable loose methods Of doing business ana th6 great amount of waste.

Conditions ars never ttfe same from year to year so that comparison of fire losses for last month and that of a year ago does not necessarily indicate q sefi- ous change for the worse when it is shown that the losses sustained during March were practically a million greater this year than a year Ago for during the quarter ending with March ths losses About a million and d half less than tic same quarter of the previotis Nyeat.
