ASK APPEAL OF

Fight Against District
in Fede,MC Court

A large Y6mbsr Of taxpayers in
terested in fighting the Moffat tun-
rel district plan but not opposed to
the Moffat tunnel itself, met at the
Clear Greek grange hall Monday
night and decided to fight the casa
thru the federal court. A reheariye
b the state supreme court has bSen
asked for and II that 10 not granted
an appeal will be asked for. The
taxpayers realize the desperate situa-
ton this district line places them In
and they are absolutely right In
fighting to try to get out Of the dis
tict. It il understood that in draw
ing the lines to let the Leyden Coal
Company escape taxation a part Of
the Moffat right-of-way and tracks
were left out Of the district. The
Lakeside Amusement Co., was also
IN out as was Senator Frank
Church's property. Over in Bould-
er county some Of the coal trusts
property was included in the origin

It's property was eliminated when the
lines were drawn. The corporations
escape this taxation. but the cards
were stacked against the farmers and
Hand owners around Arvada and
they have a mighty stiff fight on
their hands 70 escape this taxation
Il will not require great amount
of money to fight the case thru the

Mrs. Wesley Staley pulled a sur

Near East Relief
Needs Corn and Grain
o All Hand County People:

To All Hand County People:
The Near East Relief Chairman
Mrs. Porter, and the Grain Committee
McMaster, Livingston, Belk, Johnson,
Hill. Bachelor. Benedict and Dixon,
have sent out a hurry up call for
grain to feed the starving children of
the Armenian and Syrian regions.
This is done now because the free
freight privilege will end on March
First and because supplies are now so
short that the children of the Caucas-
us region have been put upon half
r~ations, and it is said that last winter
1000 died per month while they were
on half rations.
They ask us to Save These Children,
Help Our Own Farmers and Keep The
Money AT Home For Our Own Trade
by now buying grain or cheap -four
unitedly while transportation is still
free.
Pres. Howard said in Huron last
week to the State Chairman, Ship all
the grain you can, Mrs. Porter, it is
feeding the hungry, it is securing free
freight and it is the most valuable ad-
vertising medium known for new mar
kets."
Now let US all get busy and give ut
least from $50 to SO per family in
cash Or grain for this charitable drive.
During the War, you know, we gave
and loaned men and money to kill our
Christian enemies, now let us do some
thing to save the children and widows
of our own allies.
Cordially and devOtedly.

quirements of Chapter 144, Laws Of
1921, this being the act which makes
Memorial Day citizenship Day" on
which date those who have become

pose, as well as other celebrations Of
the day.
Besides the certificate of citizenship

Gas Tax Revenue
Will Double Estimate

That the estimate on revenues to
the state from a tax of n cent a
gallon on gasoline used for automo
biles in the state was estimated on
a wrong basis SO far as amount Oh
revenue to be derived from that source
is the opinion of Deputy State Auditor
Drake, based on the situation as It
appears to be now.
1t was estimated that such a tax
would bring a revenue OF approx
mately $250,000 to the highway func
of the state, for each year.
But in the estimation of MIR. Drake
it is likely to go over 100000 for this
e
The Standard Oil company claims a
reduction of two per cent for shrink
age in tanks on the gas they ship in
TO the state, the company's estimate
on average sales in the state being
that il would be called upon for $780,
900 a year, and that to fix this esti-
mate on shipments il would mean a
loss of at least two per cent OF n a
amount when il was sold.
This is one of the new elements in
the law which will have to be consid-
cred. But il the Standrd Oil COM
Dc ny's estimate is true as to the
ar,ount 1t would be called upon to pay,
the $500, 900 mark would be easily
reached.

scented Jehovah, and the four hundred
and fifty priests, who represented Baal,
then they would attribute the break
ing of the drough to BaaPs power and
would have given that religion q
stronger hold than EVER before, on h
people, The people of Israel were as
ready to fall down and cry out: "Baal,
he is God,' as to cry: Jehovah, he Is
God without doubt, when the people
saw the fire fall upon the sacrifice on
Mount Carmel, they realized indeed, as
they could not think OF Baal, the pres
ence and power of Jehovah. In that
hour their hearts turned back to God.
And now Elijah to Ahad the
coming of the rain, as he announced
three and one-half years before, the
cessation of rain. Get thee up. eat
and drink, for the-e,is a sound of
abundance OF rain" Then follows the
prayer-watch of Elijah. and the break
ing of the drough.
This Is the divine order in dealing
with the children Of men. When a
man sick of the palsy was lowered
from the roof Of :he house before
Jesus he said: "Son, thy sins be for
given thee" His greatest need was a
right relation to God. After this came
the physical blessing.
The paramount need OF this hour Is
not the physical things that men are
seeking after. What we need is a real
revival of religion that will put the
minds and hearts of men and women
in the right attitude towards God and
each other.
Men may search the globe for a solu-
ton OF the problems that are press
ing upo us individually and national
ly, but they will fail in bringing the
relief we seek. Ahab sent his stewards
all through the land searching a solu-
ton for the drought problem. They
found a little water here and there
but 1t was getting right with God that
opened the heavens and brought relief
: Let us get right with God. This is
: the important thing.
