Tariff on Potato Flour Will
Permit Operation Of Mill Here
DR.. Charles Trueblood.
President Commercial Club,
Monte Vista, Colo.

Oct. l6. l031.
Dear Sir:
Now that the Potato Flour tariff
has been established, we want -
take this opportunity to thank yosf
organization. and also the Farm
Bureau and the Rotary Club Of your
district. for the able assistance and
support they have given on the ap-
piicatton for tariff. and We also want
to thank Congressman Guy U.
Hardy. and Senator Phipps. for their
fight for the tariff on the floor OF
the House and the Senate.
1t Is only regretable, that Il has
taken such a long time to get thi.
tariff-that It has interfered great
ly with the success OF our institu-
tion. as We have lost more than so
percent OF our business. due to the
fact that foreign flour has been laid
down at our various ports at cheap
er prices than We can produce. We
are now going to be up against an
uphill fight to try to recover that
business, but now that the tariff has
been established, 1t gives us new
hope and ambition. and we are 90
ing to increase our advertising and
our sales force to endeavor to re-
cover our lost business.
The situation, however. at the
presen, time is such that We are
not able to decide for at least 80
days. as to whether or not we will
be able to operate our various
Potato Flour plants. We have .
great accumulation OF Potato Flour
on hand. and We ought to clean
that up before making new flour.
We have some very large business
In view. which will most likely BE-
decided within 30 days. and We are
hopeful. II this transaction Is con-
sumated. to give our manager there
Mr.. c. w. Brandborg. Instructions
TO operate to full capacity. We are
sorry. however. that at this time We
are not able to say whether We can
operate this season or not.
You can realize. however, that in
view OF our investment In Monte
Vista. that II is to our decided ad-
vantage to operate the plant, other.
wise. We recover nothing from our
investment and We are Just as anx-
ious to have the plant running A.
the potato growers are to have an
outlet for their surplus potatoes.
We want to take this opportunity.
also. TO thank the good citizens OF
Monte Vista. for the support they
have thus given our company. aud
we beg to assure you that the only
reason why We are unable to oper-
ate. 10 due to the fact that the fail.
ure to secure tariff until this time
has 40 greatly interfered with the
success OF our business.
Your district should be conErat-
ulatsd. by having such able and
fighting representatives as Hon.
, Guy u. Hardy and Senator Phipps.
and II 10 the ability OF such men a.
these. who are able TO keep your
wonderful agricultural district "on
the map"
Respectfully yours.

ATTACK ON ALTERNATELY
Pure POLITICAL PFfLE

by our esteemed contemporary last
week regarding the fees OF Sheriff
Abernathy was dissipated into
nothinsness when examined In the
light OF Justice and common sense.
Under instructions from the
Auditor of the State of Colorado.
the sheriff has followed the system
Of rendering his bill to the county
for salary. expenses and fees of his
office, other than the fees which
are paid direct to him.
For this total amount county
warrants are issued to the sheriff
and retaining his salary and ex-
penses, he repays to the county
treasurer the sum to which the
county 10 entitled.
Unfortunately u hitch occurs in
that the warrants are not cashable
at par. but can only be realized on
at a discount OF SO from their
face value.
It would hardly seem fair that
the County OF Rio Grande should
finance the operations OF the
sheriff's office at the expense Of
the sheriff himself. and II would
seem that the sheriff holding the
warrants OF the County of Rio
Grande would be able to satisfy the
claims OF this county in Its own
currency.
II this were not true the sheriff
would be compelled to conduct his
office at loss OF SO OF the
amounts due the county and trans
actions OF this nature would Of
course assume that the officer was
financially able to do this.
II is not charged that the sheriff
Of this county does not have these
warrants In his possession to salts
fy these claims. and cannot be sue
cessfully no charged. for they are at
present In the vaults OF the sherifCs
office At Del Norte and can be de-
livered at any time when they will
be accepted nj par.
II is SO easy for candidates for
office TO either make or inspire un-
true and unjust statements regard
Ing other candidates for like office
that II would seem any reputable
publication would Investigate the
facts before conniving At such .
situation. or else require their In
formant 10 make these statements
In their columns over their own
signature.
II might be we'll for its readers
TO peruse the columns OF our es-
teemed contemporary to determine
for themselves whether this IL done.
and such candidates have the
courage OF their convictions. and II
not. to view with contempt state.
ments unjust and unfair. not to say
untruthful. and where by appeal to
prejudice and passion such candi.
dates hope to hoist themselves into
office BY their own boot straps.
The fact stiil remains and inves-
tigations will Disclose that these
warrants lie In the vaults Of the
sheriff'a office at Del Norte for
delivery TO the county treasurer to
satisfy the claims Of the county for
the fccs Of ths sheriff's office.
Vote for Edward q. Abernathy
for Sheriff.

FALSE REPORTS ON
CARS NEEDED HERE

The Monte Vista commercial club.
aided by the Pueblo commercial
club. Senator Nicholson and others.
has succeeded IN getting 20 per
cent Of the refrigerator cars direct
ed to this valley to move our potato
crop. These cars are now rolling
steadily to this district. are being
loaded promptly and moved out
again to market. While the prices
are low for potatoes. the main idea
is that many farmers without stor-
age facilities are enabled to beat the
frost to market with their stuff.
Now. then. after the splendid
fight made to secure cars for these
shipments and the success obtained
which is still insufficient-we
are informed that 4 certain dealer
In Monte has sent . telegram to
those In authority in Denver say
ing that WE ARE GETTING MORE
CARS THAN ARE NEEDED HERE
This bolshevistic attempt to
falsify the situation and tear down
the efforts being made to relieve
the farmers OF this district. IL most
reprehensit'e and the name of this
dealer will be published should he
continue his pernicious activity.
