INTERESTING RALLY
TUESDAY NIGHT
CONTINUED from page ~

must come about chiefly through the
increase of our own consuming and
purchasing power. This will come
about gradually and not rapidly. Leg
islation can, in some degree, assist, but
cannot Immediately remedy this situa-
tion.
We have, by legislation, assisted
the live stock industry by protecting
it against importation of meat from
Australia and South America, but Mr..
Taylor opposed instead of assisted In
the passage of this legislation.
Mr.. Taylor and his party take the
position that such measures Will In
crease the cost of living. The farm
ers, laborers, merchants, and others,
would rather have their living cost
increased and their ability to pay this
cost increased than to have low llv-
ing cost which they cannot meet.
Mr.. Taylor's position is in line with
Senator Williams of Mississippi, who
said: 81 would like to see the Ameri-
can people flooded with everything
they want, at the lowest possible
price. Inundate us with cheap clothes,
cheap food, cheap mechanical tools,
and with everything cheap we want
and need in our business.
What this nation needs, however, rs
not cheap goods, low profits and cheap
labor, but high prices, high profits and
high wages
Naturally, people are diseontented
under the conditions that have pre-
vailed during the latter part of MI.
Wilson g administration, and to
great extent under Mr.. Harding's, but
pol,t who try to capitalize TINS
discomfort, who refuse to face the
facts and to discuss them candldly,
will have to make explanation here
after.
Mr.. Taylor charges that the present
administration is guilty of extrava-
gance and criminal waste. This Is
strong language, and when member
of congress uses such language he
should be free from any responsibility
of the conditions which he criticizes
Mr.. Taylor is member of the
House Appropriations committee. The
only way he can assist in bringing
about economy is to vote and act on
this committee on appropriations, and
in the House, as he talks during cam
paign times m Colorado.
Can Mr.. Taylor show to the people
Of this district record that he has
voted against any appropriation with
which is paid the $4,000 clerks which
he says should be discharged? If he
did not vote against such approprla-
ticn Ii the committee and bring in
minority reports to place before con
gress in this position, he has no right
to come to Colorado and talk and crit
icize at time and place where he can
accomplish nothing.
The fact is, Mr.. Taylor is in the
same position as many others who In
wanting, get what they want, and in
SO doing are deprived of the liberty of
acting or voting as their convictions
dictate.
No reports l have seen from Wash
ington quote Mr.. Taylor as saying, in
the house or to the committee on ap-
propriations what he IS now saying to
the people of this district. He is not
mentioned in Washington reports as
one of those who criticize anything or
anybody in Washington. He is not
mentioned in Washington reports
among those who have been, during
the last two years, cooperating in an
effort to provide constructive and prac-
teal legislation to assist and relieve
agriculture, live stock and mining in
dustry. ~
If he does not occupy position of
leadership among this group, or if he
il not associated with this group by
his votes and his acts and if he does
not stand in Washington for the things
he processes in Colorado, he cannot
complain that he has not had an op-
rortunity in the last fourteen years to
become or be real representative Of
this state. LIN
The public and the press are usually
generous in their praise Of those who
servo the public; Mt least majority
of the public and large section Of
the press can be counted upon to give
credit when credit is due Those who
~ their services fail to earn such
credit are reduced to the necessity OF
resort'ng to political propaganda, and
tie compelled to "toot their own
