HIGHWAY DAMAGES S20. 1000. 900
State Engineer Says Big Fund Need
I'd for Reconstructiou Work
ATTE.sT1

Approximately s20,000,0 900 will be
required TO repair the bridges and
highways damaged BY recent rains
and floods on the eastern slope, accord
ing to an estimate made by Major L.
d. Blauvelt, state highway engineer
following his return from an inspec-
ton tour of the Pueblo and Colorado
Springs road districts.
The estimate is also based upon re-
ports received at the engineers office
from other districts on the eastern
slope.
Scores of bridges must be built and
miles of highways reconstructed. In
the Arkansas valley several miles of
federal aid concrete paving was und-
ermined, wrecked and partly swept in
70 the flood waters of the Arkansas
river.
Between Pueblo and LaJunta alone,
nine bridges are out, some of them be-
yond repair, and others so badly dam
aged that great sums of money must
be expended to make them again pas
sable. II is estimated that 100000
will be required to restore the nine
bridges between LaJunta and Pueblo.

SCHEDULE GETS LOOSE AGAIN

New York World
Chairman Fordney of the House
Ways and Means Committee has STUN
bled on the well-beaten path So fami-
/ lar to him, of restoring to the infant
industries of America protection from
| the pauper labor of Europe, or what
is left of it from the unparalleled
slaughter of the World War.
But it is not his fault Treachery
has broken out in the camp and plac-
ed snares that trip him. The farm
ers and wool growers show DISPOSE
tion TO repudiate the bargain by which
they secured the Emergency Tariff
Act and which is generally worthless
TO them. When, therefore, in accord-
ance with that bargain, the wool man
ufacturers the other day submitted
their rates of compensation duties for
taxed wool which would operate to in
crease the price of suits to the Ameri-
can people SO and up, the granger
end of the deal went up in the air and
stays there. Sacred old Schedule K.
thus again proves its power TO di-
vide brethren devoted to moral ideas,
the keystone to the arch of the Tenn
pie Of Protection is once more in a
state of loosening and words are
iisaih ia Sils OEiy IOF IUe
ears of the vulgar and profane
Mr.. Fordney has been to the presi-
dent with his troubles. But where
the unctuous phraseology of straddling
might have served to sooth If not to
strengthen, even that does not appear
to have been vouchsafed. The Ways
and Means chairman must get on as
best he can. And firm to the faith Of
all the sacred schedules and not alone
of Schedule X, he is likely to get some
where. He is being reminded that
similar troubles with the keystone in
1909 split the party and cost it control
of the government for eight long
years.
But times have changed. What did
Mr.. Harding's 1000, 900 plurality mean
if not that the people might not al
most sigh unanimously for high-pric-
ed clothing and other necessities SINH
larly affected for the profit of the pro-
tected ones and the glory of the Pro-
tected System.
