REPUBLICAN PROSPERITY.

We all know now that times are
good! Everybody Is prosperous. es-
pecially the farmer and the laboring
man!
Some time ago. when 1000. 900 work.
ing people In the United States were
idle and Colorado farmers had all sold
their wheat for about 80 cents q
bushel. a few OF us got the idea that
maybe we were not quite 80 prosper.
GUS as we would like to be. But
George Shaw, Republican Moses for
Colorado, told US that the Republican
emergency tariff had fixed everything
up all right and we bought five cent
cigar for fifteen cents and felt rich.
The spectators had all the wheat BY
that time and the price went up
around $1.4O bushel, just ike George
said It would.
But pretty soon the farmers
threshed another crop Of wheat, and
when they begun to haul 1t to market
they found that the price had gone
down, In spite Of that emergency tar
If. Colorado farmers again sold for
around so cents, sometimes a little
less. Our fine COLORADO peaches aLso
brought the growers about so cents .

in the state. who were urged to can
them and help tho growers. paid from
SITS to - bushel for them. Pote
toes in some districts were bringing
less than so cents y hundred poundA
Just between you and me, 1t began to
look like George Shaw had made
mistake.
But now Senator Phipps has stepped
down among us, bringing the official
glad tidIngs from Washington. The
new tariff bill has been passed and
everything is just swell. The whole
country is prosperous, especially the
farmer and the laboring man. he tells
US. The trouble 10, this Republican
prosperity is awful hard to recognize

Benjamin Griffith, standpat Repub-
lican attorney general OF Colorado In
1911 and 1912, was the candidate for
attorney general on the Progressive
ticket in 1912 and for the United
States Senate on the same ticket In
1914. In those days when Ben was .

friends called him a radical and would

ticket. and the standpat Republicans

Under Democratic national and
state administration wheat sold 10
Colorado mt more than 81 q bushel.
Now It is selling, under Republican
administration, national and state. al
less than 81 bushel. Other farm
products have declined In price by
about the sumo ratio. What was II
you said the Republicans did for the
farmer?
The Meeker herald., 1922-11-04

The Republican party proclaims Of
ficlalIy that 1t has done more for the
farmer than for anybody else. Maybe
1t has, but the farmer who Is selling
his fruit. potatoes, wheat and other
crops at present prices wishes 1t hadn't
done him quite 80 much.

The Republicans tell us that the
rangers have maintained order In the
state during the past two years, and
nearly $4,000 has already been
spent for the support Of the
ranger army. But the Republican
legislature in 1921 appropriated
100000 from the national defense
fund for the suppression OF riots
and instructions in Colorado dur.
ing the biennial period, and a lot
of that has been spent, too. And don't
forget that this appropriation was en-.
tirely distinct from the $4,000 APP
propriated from the same fund to sup
port the rangers.

ARE CONTRACTING
BIG WILSON DAM
Government Resumes Operations-EX-
poets to Finish Power Project
by Spring of 1926.

FLORENCE, Ala, Nov. 4.-The roar
of construction work on the great Will
son dam at Muscle Shoals is again
sounding through the valleys and over
the hills along the Tennessee river. The
federal government has stepped in to
rescue from possible decay the spec
tacular wartime nitrate and power pro-
iects. which sprang up almost overnight,
involved in the building Of what will be
the worlds largest waterpower dam.
United States army engineers. who
have Just been furnished with $780,
600, in congressional appropriations, are
once more proceeding with the work Of
Harvesting the mighty waters of the
Tennessee under Il government program
which provides for the completion of the
Wilson dam, the installation OF mdchin-
cry. and the furnishing of electrical
Juice by the late winter OF 192o or the
early spring of 1926.
This program is SO definite that the
army appropriation bill to be introduced
in congress Dec. / is to contain an item
making available $7,500,000 additional
for the work for the fiscal year 1923-24.
They will require but $7.400,000 more
after that, for the following fiscal year.
before they have a finished job at the
dam and power house, and be ready to
turn the switches that send out the elec-
trical current
The men at work today are being paid
at the base rate of $3.50 per day, but
as this is a government payroll, and
congress has granted a bonus to govern
ment workers, they actually receive
about 800 per man per day average.
This means an expenditure of about
$4,000 per day for labor. But cement
lumber, coal, reinforcing steel, and
other materials are being purchased, cat
ing into the appropriations.

BLIND STUDENT AT U. V. NJ.
". w HOllister of Bennington Prepar-

BURLINGTON, Nov. THE Uni
versity of Vermont has enrolled in its
student body young man who is and
has been totally blind since childhood
but who has through perseverance and
doggedness overcome all obstacles due
to his affection and has arrived at his
desire to obtain a college education.
This young man is Walter w. HOLSTER
of Bennington. who entered Vermont
this fall having previously attended
Notre Dame for q year.
In spite of the serious handicap I'M
der which Hollister is working, he was
near the head of his class at Notre
Dame. receiving all grades above 80
with the exception of two, the lowest of
these being only 50.
When he first entered college, Hollis
ter used a DEVICE similar to a typewriter
with which to take down lectures but he
soon trained his mind to remember class
room talks, typewriting them in his
room later. HOLSTER is majoring in
English courts at the university as he
intends to write short stories after leay-
ing college.
