The Lamar register. [volume] (Lamar, Colo.) 1889-1952, 1922-11-15

Somebody brought an ancient noun
tain goat to Lamar recently and the
poor thing has been wandering around
with dropping chin whiskcrs looking
like a forlorn lost sheep until Monday
of this week when he chanced to find
his way to Main street. Immediately
he came to life. The fire of regener-
ated youth frightened up his dimming
eyes, and the vigor Of the mountain
/ air seemed to renew his spirits as he
recognized familiar aspects of his ma
tive playground. He began to gambol
up and down the canons and jump from
crag to crag.
A large crowd gathered to watch the
ancient mountaineer enjoy himself, but
an unfceling dog-untouched by the
back to nature heart thrill-chased
him away. There is some hope of i'm
provement even yet or the part Of
our citizens. The city council last
night actually voted to employ En-
gineer Weiland of Pueblo to superin-
tend the paving district work. Now
if no injunction proceedings are start
ed or other delays invented we may
in time have hopes Of Main street
that a man can ride over without risk
ing his life.
p. She may not have been a
mountain goat, but he sure as the

Judging from the way Congress has
taken hold of tax reduction il is a
more responsive Legislative body than
state legislatures.
Operating expenses of the govern
ment for the year ending July l, 1922,
were l.743 million dollars less than
for the year preceding.
On top of this the national debt was
reduced LOO million dollars and tax
es to be collected from the people re-
duced 500 million dollars.
State governments have got to make
a similar showing if the men who are
elected to state offices and to the legis-
lature have any brains.
If they have no brains to adapt the
state government to the reduced in
comes Of farmers and wages of labor
they will be severely cussed.
The political power entrusted to
them by the people will be taken hack
and there will be more use of the re-
call than ever was dreamed of.
In every western state officials are
going into power on promises to i'm
pose no new taxes and to make mater
ial reductions.
Useless polotical functions that can
