Personal Liberty ls MYTH

70 the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
sir-Soms people are greatly excited over
some laws that. It Is alleged. were enacted
and enforced In the New England colonies
two or three hundred years ago. Whenever
an attempt Ia made to enforce some modern
tion a little cleaner and little better,
these people throw themselves into a fit and
trot out these skeletons OF bygone days
Judging from the amount Of noise they
make this class OF individuals are the only
citizens who are interested in preserv-
ing the liberties OF the people OF this gen
Grafton. Instead Of that being the case they
are the tyrants. and their kind has ever
and always stained the pages OF history
with oppression and the trail OF blood. The
personal liberty advocate Is extremely
seldsh.
He wants license TO do as he pleases
regardless OF the rights OF others He
forgets or ignores the fact that personal
liberty ends where civil liberty begins. Civil
liberty is the guardian OF personal liberty,
The Republic stands for civil liberty and in
that is it's glory. Civil liberty holds every
citizen equal before the law and grants 70
each one personal liberty to the point
where II doea not interfere with the common
good.
Let us have more concern for perpetua ting
the civil liberty which has been established
IN our land and less prating about the
personal liberty which Is guaranteed tc
every citizen to the full measure to which
he II entitled. Under our form of govern.
mont the majority decides what is for ths
common GOOD. Lot the majority rule. keep.
OWL liberty begins. We stand for civil
liberty and abide the results.

escALANre COMMUNITY

Escalante is noted mostly for its
farming and stock raising. The nrst
ranch in the canon is that of Bob
Shelves and family, who reside at the
mouth of Escalante where the creek
empties into the Gunnison river rms
is hay and fruit ranch. Next is Gus
Bass and family, who have lovely
house and also raise hay. Then comes
Bert Shreeves and family. who have a
fine hay. fruit and hog ranch. Then
comes the Oscar Huntington ranch.
which is run by Joe Rogers and fam
lily. This is fine hay and fruit ranch.
Next in line comes Harry Walker and
sons with their mule ranch. Then the
Bill Shreeves hay farm; and here you
find Kelso Musser and family with
their very desirable hay ranch. Then
the Alex Calhoun ranch, where Her
bert Wells and family are living.
Then the Oscar Huntington and Bill
Cowger homesteads, which are new
but very fine ranches.
From these ranches up this fork we
go to Love Mesa, where jeff billiard
and Oscar Huntingdon range their cat
very beautiful place. Some of the
finest scenery ! ever saw is on this
summer range, and the finest fat cat
tie and horses person ever gazed
upon.
We follow across this summer
range to Middle Kelso point, another
fork of Escalante. At the foot Of this
mountain is the Jean Darlington
ranch. run by Mr.. and Mrs. Gabhart,
which is mostly hay. Kenneth Camp
bell and wife have a homestead in
this locality Bill Steele lives on the
old Dick Bloomberg ranch, which is a
large one and puts up fine amount
of hay. The old Gilbert place. run by
Gus Osborn, is also hay ranch.
We come on down to the United
States mail carriers, Emmett Nickel
roy. where he owns a homestead. In
time it will be good ranch
Escalante has two fine schools. The
upper and lower ends support. fine
Sunday school and once a month we
have preaching services. Escalante is
also noted as great fishing resort;
| also for its sociability. All of the
mentioned ranches have fine noun

are the finest springs you ever drunk

The average business man would be
literally astounded to find how many
men like himself land probably he

Freight bills are a common and fruit
full source of loss through error Poor
systems frequently result in overpay-
ment OF income tax through wrong
classification and other lack of expert
information.
Every business large or small, has
absolute need of some service per-
formed by expert Public Accountants
detailed audit, covering all rec
ords of your business over a given
period, will disclose errors and fraud.
A less exhaustive audit-the balance
sheet audit-will establish the fact
that your assets and liabilities are

Every business owes itself. its man

Livestock in the Valley

The beef produced by ton of hay
which would cost around $5 to ship
to Denves could be shipped to the
same market for about 40 cents.
An economic use of products which
would be waste if not utilized by live
stock also demands the maintenance
OF certain number OF stock on every
farm. This is especially true of any
country where large quantities of
fruit, potatoes or sugar beets are pro-
duced.
A number of natural conditions
make the Uncompahgre Valley Pc
culiarly adapted to various livestock
industries.
The climate for the greater part of
the year is congenial, making ex-
pensive buildings and equipment un-
necessary. Also insect pests are not
nearly as serious as in many locali-
ties. These are two factors which
enter largely into the economics of
livestock production.
The availability of easily accessible
areas of forest range which offer a
relatively cheap summer pasturage
The Delta independent., 1921-09-23

to be the kind of stuff that is the most
expensive to raise on the farm. The
Uncompahgre Valley has lot of good
stock, but there are still too many
men using grade bulls or -boars or
bucks or stations. In fact, recent
census taken on the .Uncompahgre
Reclamation Project shows only 124
registered bulls on the entire project
on over 1900 farms; only IL per cent
of the men who milk cows breed those
cows to pure bred bulls; only "a reg
istered bulls are reported in use on
the. range among beef herds; only 20
per cent of the hog raisers are using
pure bred boars; and most OF the
stations in service are grades.
The hope of the Uncompahgre val
ley is in it's livestock, and because the
valley is isolated and will always be
isolated the livestock must be OF such
a class as to command the attention
and respect of the outside world.
Some of our cattle are already in that
class and buyers have come here to
look for them Quality is an import
ant factor in the solution of marketing
problems.
