Gold. silver and copper mining III
dustrics that are the backbone OF the
west, are coming bnck. Scarcity OF

The Campaign is on to force home
upon metal consumer the merits and

bound to experience nn expanding de-

requirements on snch n vast scale that
comparatively little was left for other
purposes.
Manufacturers of substitutes seized
the opportunity 10 launch an energetic
campaign to stimulate demand for com

readily proc,irable at lower prices and

LANCO COUNTY
STILL IN THE LEAD

As The Herald has on more than
one occasion pointed out, this county
still holds the proud position of hav-
Ing the smallest delinquent tax list Of
any county in the state.
Our delinquent tax list space In The
Herald usually takes up about a col
,,mn OF space. This year due to the
fact that farmers could not sell hay
or grnin at any price and that cattle
men held back on their cattle hoping
for better prices. the list runs mp to
nearly six columns. But compare this
with our neighbOring counties. Gar
fields tax list runs up to 13 columns :;
Moffat county has 20 columns and
Routt shows up with 40 columns Of
delinquents.
Considering conditions. Rio Blanco
county makes n remarkable good
showing.

SOME TIMELY OBSERVATIONS

Frank II simonds. In writing ON the
Washington Arms Conference, makes
these timely observanccs.
In limiting the armed strength OF
the world ut sea, Mr. Hughes has not
directly reduced the dangers OF war.
Such combination has been made or
will he made Is Indirect. Certainly II
un International conference can meet
in Washington and debate great Ques-
tions aud separte after amicable dis-
eussion having set their signature to
n document which witnesses to inter-
national concord the gain must be
clear. The gain however. Is not con-
sequence Of the document signed, but
of the feeling engendered during the
debate and testified to by the charac-
fer of the document
Now what of the United Safes? We
fundamentally have agreed to resign
supremacy upon the seas Of the world
ut time when no nation and no two
nations could challenge us had we
chosen to adopt the old British ratio
of building against the two naval pow
crs nearest to us. But III resigning this
power no one can mistake the fact that
Mr. Hughes has followed the wishes
of his fellow countrymen. We had no
desire as people to dominate the high
seas at the risk OF eventual conflict
and t>the price OF enormously expan-
ding naval budgets. We have given up
something we didn't want, speaking
for the mass OF the American people.
Now the first practical question that
must be askcJ IL whether the liinita-
tlOn Of naval nrmaments represents
II gain for the peace Of the world. Az
have pointed out often enough In
preceding articles. the question Of ar
maments has precious little to do with

DOINGs AT WASHINGTON

Washington, d G Nov. 2G -Confes-
sion that the Republican party is In

bill that will meet the needs OF the
government and the expectations OF
the people was made by Senator Reed

The full force OF this confession Of
the incompetence OF his party by one
Of Its ablcst leaders can best he un-
derstood in the light Of n brief history
Of the way in which the Republican
party has first delayed ana then mud
died tax revision.
FOllowin: the Congressional cleo
tions of 1913, when the Republican
party came into power In both Houses,
there was an insistcnt demand by Re-
publican leaders, especially by Mon
dell and others In the House for a
special session. In order. as they said
to revise the tax laws and adjust them
to the transition period between war
and peace.
| President Wilson called special
session. and on Nay Goth 1910. in IA
special message outlined the princi-
pies of tax revision which should be
followed and specifically recommended
changes to be made. The Republican
Congress nddlcd and fooled away the
entire period of Its eyistance without
coming to the relief of business or do
Ing anything to adjust taxes to chan

OTHER STATES SAY STATE
HOSPITALS ARE BIG BENEFIT

County officials In 10 counties In
Iowa and counties In Nebraska have
reported to the University Of Colorado
that State hospitals maintained by the
universities In those states have been
Of great direct benefit to their counties.
The hospitals In Iowa and Nebraska
are similar to the proposed State Cen
eral Hospital. for which the Univer'
sity liz now conducting statewide
cau,paign for 100000, and the reports
from these two states nrc good indica-
tlons of the results that may Ike ex-.
pccted IL the proposed new hospital Is
established In Colorado.
The counties reporting to the Unirer-
sity are:

and Montgomery.

ingtOn.
One Of the reports that has spec
ial appeal because it illustrates the
relief of suffering among children
comes from Il X Allyn. Treasurer OF
Ringgold County. Iowa. He says: The
benefits to the children are most not
iccable for many Of their defects are
corrected by slight operation which
allows the child to enter school on
par with the normal children These
children are started in this way to
useful citizenship where otherwise
they would remain n charge In n needy
home and would perhaps. eventually
become n charge on the county or
state.
II consider the hospital decided
success for 1t reaches worthy people
who do not possess the means to send
their children to the hest equipped hos
pinls. II Is very gratifying to the tax
payer to see these little cripplcs re-
stored to health and started on the
way to II useful place in the commun-
ity."
W II Gemmill. Secretary Of the To-
wa state Board of Education. says:
"The people of this state are so well
pleased with the State Hospital laws
that the matter of expense Is not men
toned by them. The service rendered
h the unfortunate persons IL fur more
than adequate compensation In the
minds Of our people. Men who were
unable to work and could not pay for
proper medical or surgical treatment

and dcformatIes. There has been n

benefits received are fnr beyond our
power to measure"

OBSERVATIONS ON
THE CONFERENCE

Using the phrase Of one foreign OBJ
server the whole business Of the
Worlds Congress is comprehended In
the cndeavors of some diploinatists
sitting In private conference to decide
upon the number OF obsolete ships to
he scrapped and to pass some pious
resolutions regarding China. which
cnnnot Ike infOrced and are not In the
least likely to bc observed when force
Is lacking.
Europe feels that the Anglo o-French
rumpus Of recent days has had n wide
spread and evil effect In the United
States in conforming the determine
tion of Americans generally to keep
out of European cntanglcmcnts which
was Andrew Carncglc's advice years
ago. and which has been made more
evident thro this conference ut Wash
