THE State tax levy is the highest known in the
history of the state. We await with interest the

be announced perhaps before election but more
probably after that danger has passed.
THERE is thing about the present campaign
which needs nothing to make it clear to the lay mind
and which be confused by oratory. Ben Griffith
is for the and William E. Sweet is against them
Weld county ready for that issue-ready with black
ball the size of baoon-Greeley News.
EXTENDING helping hand to farmers is crime,
from the view point of the hodups who have robbed the
producer for all these years. but squanderng millions
sodiery to make work for what the coal companies

rascal who diverts attention from himself while
mitting crimes and misdemeanors the little who
breaks trihing statute. Yes, VIM. E. Sweet is
truly dangerous to the powers that prey. They are
shudderng at the prospect ahead of them and their
mouthpeces the kept press, voicng their fears.

would not like to have of those storage

for want of cars Wouldn't be sad have
money wasted armories tied up in mammoth storage
plants to for food products without paying

Go to it, Mr. Griffith, explain all the you

THE ruling that liquor cannot be brought into the
three mile is troubling this editor little bit.
Still cannot help wondering just why it is considered
wise to practically order all foreign ships to land their
