1T is SO. And there appears co be
ground for the statement that within
a few years Buffalo Bilrs grave will
be the most-visited grave in the world.
This is the way of it: The city and
county Of Denver have established the
Denver Mountain parks, lying between
the city and the peaks of the conti-
mental divide. There are 1926 acres !;
the cost has been $477,S50; there are
90 miles Of roads. Lookout Mountain
Is one of the scenic features of these
parks. The main automobile road, Of
which the Lariat trail is a part, climbs
to its summit. Buffalo Bills grave is
on the east slope of Lookout Noun
tain, and is easily reached by a road
that turns out at the Golden reservoir
on the summit. Close by the grave
the city has established a Buffalo Bill
museum. In the summer of 1921 ap-
proximately 100000 visitors entered
the gates of the Denver Mountain
parks. OF these visitors about one
quarter was from other states. Most
of these out-of-the-state visitors
stopped to see the grave and the mu-
scum. So much for the present.
The tourist business of the scenic
West is increasing tremendously year
by year. Denver is geographically the
gateway to this scenic West with its
twelve national parks and thirty-two
national monuments. 1t is the starting
point of the National Park-to- Park
highway. Most visitors to Denver in

were it not that the automobile came
along few years ago and demand
ed better roads and pounded the life
out OF the roads we had. The auto

ment reduced by half if he had the
same roads to drive over that obtain

much to the business life and enjoy

automobile owner clamorOus for

anxious for the pavement of the street

comfort if not his enjoyment of life.
I'VE must all realize that we are
getting more out of life than our fore
fathers did-even then did they of
preceding generation. What we enjoy
we must pay for.
But we must consider, too, that

taxation is a burden and that the re-
suits of taxation are enjoyed by those
who pay no taxes. The real taxpay-
ing public is comparatively small
proportion of all the people. The
provident and the saving should not
be called upon to spend all their sub
stance nor a great share of it to adopt
every fad that careful propaganda
may foster upon the city, the county,
or the state. We should not be the
first to adopt the new nor the last to
drop the old.
I'm day when values are receding,
when the taxpayer must realize that
it was at the close Of last year, when
the country as whole is going
through the throes of business adj
justment, when men are idle, when
farm products are low, when every
indication points to g. further slowing

of new speed, great care must be
made by the administrative bodies in

over lands; while we must give our

advancement, we must exercise every
caution that the things we ask for in
the way of public service are real
and tangible. 1t is no time to indulge

istrative powers.

LATAH COUNTY SETS EXAMPLE.

The Pend O'Reille Review, one Of
the brightest weekly newspapers O.
Idaho, published at Standpoint by
George r. Barker, compliments the
record made by Latah county fol
economy of administration. I'm an
ably written editorial in the last is
sue of the Review, Mr. Barker calls
for greater economy in public affairs
and cites Latah county's record as an
example of what can be done. The
editorial from The Review follows:
'Latah county, with 100000 more
valuation than Bonner county, last
year paid $6S,OOO for expenses of op-
Grafton, while Bonner county spent
$4,000. Latah is a much more popu
lated county than Bonner, lies large
ly within the rich Palouse country, is
much older in settlement
Canyon county, another rich coun-
ty and having large farm popu-
lation, has cut out the farm agent for
the present year; Ada county, most
populous in the state, has reduced its
farm bureau expense and is contribut-
ing less to this purpose than is Bon
ner county. Among the counties |
which this year are making no ex-
penditure for farm bureau work are
Renewal, Boundary, Clearwater
Franklin, Shoshone, Teton and Wash
ington. Kootenai county spent $4,000
for the purpose last year, while Bon
ner county's expediture totaled $5,895
for this purpose.
The Review is given to encourage II
public improvements, to voice de-
mand for better conditions. We would
not go back to the days when domestic
