should bring great relief to the

tion go over IL congress did not

tax.
Suggests Postponement.
Il believe" the president wrote,
that the American people will
accept the levy of general sales
tax to meet the proposed h@nus
payments and we should cortri-
butte thereby no added difficulties
to the problems OF readjustmert,
Ii congress will not adopt such a
I plan, IL would be wise to let the
legislation go over until there Is
turn which will justify the
large outlay"
The presidents letter was re-
garded generally at the capital
as leaving the bonus situation
even more complicated than be-
fore. Senate and house sub-com-
mittees were to meet late in the
day to receive and consider the
White House communication.
Plan Once Discarded
When the sales tax was dis
cussed In the subcommittee last
week, 1t was understood that SEN
ators were informed that -.ss than
100 republican votes In the house
could be mustered for a sales tax
as a method Of financing the ad-
justed compensation. Such a tax
had been considered by house
leaders as possibility but yir-
tually had been discarded.
Fears Bonds and Taxes,
The text of the presidents let-
ter, which was addressed to Chair
man Fordney of the house ways
and means committee, follows:
In accordance with the prom
ise made to yourself and your as
sociates on the senate and house
committees, charged with respon-
sifblity OF formulating proposed
bonus legislation, | have carefully
looked into the program OF taxa
ton, which has been suggested. In
addition thereto, have made fur
ther inquiry into the feasibility
OF Issuing either short time treas-
ury notes or long time bonds to
meet the financial obligations
which the proposed legislation
will impose, 1t is not possible to
commend to you either OF the
plans suggested.
1T continues to be my best
judgment that any compensation
Legislation enacted at this time
ought to carry with 1t the provis-
ions for raising the needed reve-
nues, and l find myself unable to
suggest any commendable plan
other than that W a general sales
tax. Such a tax will distribute
the cost Of rewarding the ex-serv-
ice men in such a manner that Il
will be borne by all the people
whom they served and does not
commit the government to class
imposition of taxes or the resump-
tion of the burdens recently re-
peated, the maintenance Of which
can be justified only by a greater
emergency,
1T is fully realized how great Is
the difficulty which confronts the
congress In solving this difficult
problem. / am aware the strong
sentiment in congress in favor Of
this adjusted compensation.

solution of the farmers i'll is up to
Congress and the 100000 farmers
of the L. S. can control Congress If
they will
Mr.. Partridge declared that the
farmers of this section were FORUM
ate to get 1925 for their milk while
the farmers about Denver got only
$l.gO. He said that the farmers
were becoming militant and would
eventually cooperate.

mers must hold together or quit.

A LANDSLIDE FOR DEMOCRATS
IN PROWERs COUNTY
County Offices Almost Completely Con
troiled by Democratic Party. While
Governor is in Doubt.

AS we go to press there seems
little doubt that VIM. L. Sweet has
been electd as tn next governor
of Colorado. He was leading at last
reports by about 5000 votes. The
same condition prevails throughout
the country generally. The follow
ing states, normally republican, ap-
pear to have entered the democratic
column this year: Indiana, Mary
hand, New Jersey, New York. West
Virginia. Utah, North Dakota,
Rhode Island and Michigan the
latter has been n republican state
for 20 years. The change in Mich
igan is due to the woman's vote
In Colorado Indications are that
the entire state Democratic ticket
has been elected with the possible
exception OF lieutenant governor,
secretary of state and the two sup
RENE court judges. There will be
great reduced majorities in the
national house and senate.
The factors at work in this rever-
sal appear to be three: there are
the usual stand pat party people
who always vote straight regardless
Of men or measures: then there are
the constitutional conservatives
and liberals who vote according to
their preEossession: lastly there is
the group who think that the party
in power can do about anything
for the country they please, and il
times are not good they clamor for
change in administration. This
year is n liberal year. Combined
with this progressive spirit is the
feeling of discomfort that longs for
a change-they say things cannot
be any worse, they might be better.
These two considerations have watt
cd the Democrats into prodigiOus
power this year and threaten the
republican prospect two years to-
come. The wet and dry question
played big part, too. hut with q
wet east and a dry west, the two
parts of the country played against

ful except the office for coroner
and surveyor-the latter having no
opposition. This is a complete re-
versai of two years ago, when only
one democrat won an Office-John
Prowers. Just why this remarkable
change is uncertain-probably due
to the general restlessness and .
hope that it may relieve the far
mers and all property owners in
the matter of taxes. Tariffs, rang
ers, nor the weta nd dry issue
trouble us much down in this little
corner of the state. Only the tax
problem is vital. The county says
a change in officers Is worth try
anyway: taxes can scarcely be
heavier. That's the way they argue.
1t was the same feeling. OF tax
burden that defeated the hospital
proposition by a vote of All. We
need county hospital and 1t will
come in time, but 1t was apparent
from the first that now was not
the propitious time.
According to report only two OF
the amendments got through to
vietory-the two OF most Importance
and of most vital interest to the
state, viz, the bonds issue for good
roads to meet the government ap-
pOrtionment and the privilege OF
the State University holding all
four of its years of medical instruc.

took some away from the mining
communities and gave them to the
