Hiram Johnson started off his cam

opposed to the League of Nations and
also having anything to do with the
World Court-in fact he does not
want any foreign ENHANCEMENT
scheme. The other day he queered
himself when he lined UP and voted
in the United States Senate along
with Senators Shipstead, Magnus
Johnson, Brookheart, La Toilette,
Ladd and others. Senator Johnson is

INSURGENTS, NOT PRoeREsslvEs

|INSURGENT NOT PROGRESSlNtS
The so-called Progresives who are
attempting minority rule in the Sen
ate and House at Washington are in
surgents. 1t is a misnomer to call
them Progressive Republicans, and
give them something of the halo of
Roosevelt. They are more than in
surgents, they are radicals of dam
gerous type. In the Senate, it would
be better for the Republican party, in
the next campaign, to permit them to
form a threatened coalition with the
Democrats and defeat Cummins for
the craftsmanship of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, then yield to
their dictation. Then, after this COM
bination with the Democrats-should
it be made-and Coolidge be handi-
capped during the present session of
Congress, then let Magnus Johnson
and others again seek election, but
not as Progressive Republicans. The
better way is, let Magnus Johnson
and any who may seek reelection de-
feat Republican Legislation, and learn
later that they will not be permitted
to run as Progressive Republicans"
or any other kind of Republicans.
We believe in the protection of the
minorities but not their dictation.-

In his message President Coolidge
points out that the budget law has
made possible the saving of billions
of the peoples money. The people
of Colorado should not forget that a
budget measure was passed by Re
publican congress and was vetoed by
a Democratic president, who thereby
delayed the accomplishment of this
tremendous saving.

Does France Owe Us?


Does France owe us, or do we owe
France?
Since the government of the
United States loaned the French
government some billions of dollars
with which TO prosecute their war
with Germany we have been under
the natural suppoe ton that France
is indebted to US just that amount,
plus the interest to date.
But apparently French statesmen
entertain different views on the
subject.
Now listen to the latest wall from
over there-this time from Francois
Marsal, former minister of finance
of the French republic and intimate
friend of President Millerand.
This distinguished French political
leader puts it naively but bluntly and
thusly.
The American government loaned
France, by opening up credits, near
ly three billions of dollars. This
money was used by the French in
buying food and war supplies from
American firms.
The American government, says
the distinguished Frenchman, has
already gotten back 80 per cent of
the amount loaned by levying
excess war taxes. This, says Mr..
Frenchman, leaves only 20 per cent
! of the debt to be accounted for.
Astute reasoning, Ell,
Again, says Mr.. Frenchman, they
made their allies pay the cost of rail
shipments in France with French
money, which was very much de-
flated in value, while France had to
pay freight rates from America in
good American dollars. That, in
the mind of the astute Frenchman,
entities them to another scaling
down of the debt.
And still again Mr.. Frenchman
hands us chunk of his remarkable
/ reasoning.
When we Americans declared war
against Germany, he claims, we were
utterly ignorant of cannons,
The French, he asserts, taught US
their system of seventy-fives, which
they had only evolved after ten years
of labor and research. That secret,
chirps Mr. Frenchman, is surely
worth something. Another slice
from the debt.
But that isn't ALL Just open your
| ears and listen to this MARBLE from
the financial son of France.
His country was ravaged, he
insists, by the allies as well as by the
Germans, and 100000 Frenchmen
gave up their lives. And that, he
contends, should still further reduce
the debit there is any debt left to
be reduced
Food for thought in the above?
Not bit of it. It has all been
thought out in advance by this
distinguished Frenchman of abb
normal brains, carefully prepared
for easy and painless consumption
by the dull and lethargic American
mind We are not supposed to
think. Our part of the brilliant
/ scheme is to swallow the b2tt-to
swallow it so thoroughly there
remains no opportunity for coughing
up the hook.
But why stop at swallowing the
bait and cancelling the debt?
Could we expect the French to be
satisfied with so small slice Of
pie?
We still have our wealth, and our
factories. and our raw materials and
our lands and homes.
Why not hand them all over to
our dear friends of sunny France
ourselves included?
But even then they would probably
howl for more-for has it not been
clearly proven that We owe
/ FRANCE?-F. w. Barber.

Oldest Highway on Continent !
New Mexico.

New Mexico.
The most ancient highway in North
America is said to be the New
Mexico section Of the National OId
Trails Road. According to Judge
J. Nj. Lowe, president Of the
National Old Trails Road Associa
ton, this section of the great high
way is the oldest road established on
the North American continent. IT
extends from Socorro TO Santa Fe.
about one hundred and fifty miles,
Don Juan 0nate, Spauiard, who
was governor of New Spain (Which
comprehended all of Mexicol in the
fifteenth century, was the first man
to establish road in America
Long years before the Pilgrim
Fathers landed at Plymouth Rock,
Onate had marked out and establish
ed this road, which started at santa
Barbara, now Jiminez. Mexico. and
ended in the vicinity of what is now
Santa Fe, New Mexico. This
territory had been claimed by the
King of Spain in 1898, and 1906
Santa Fe was founded as the capital
of New Spain. This route was used
later as a highway over which good
were freighted from the Gulf OF
Mexico via Vera Cruz, via the City
of Mexico and Santa Barbara, until
the Santa Fe Trail was opened under
the Act Of Congress Of 1924. TIL
old road was then known as the
Canine Real'-"The Kings High

Grandc Valley from the Gulf 20
