Lambert Consolidated Bill Is
Vetoed by Governor Who
Urged 2 Tax Measures
LITTLE WORK TO Do

Denver, April 11.-With the hour of
final adjournment set for six p. M,
April 18th, by resolution agreed
upon in the Republican caucus, the
Colorado legislature will crowd into
the remaining days of the session the
consideration of two bills providing for
the state income tax and taxation Of
intangible wealth.
Governor Sweets veto of the Lam
bert bill, which drew applause from
both sides of the house, removed one Of
the most troublesome issues which has
Ierplexed the lawmakers. Two hours
after the veto of the measure was read,
the governor appeared at joint ses-
sion to reintroduce, as issues, his tax
alton bills which are likely to more
than fill place in the minds of the
legislators, made vacant by the gov
ernor's disapproval of the consolida-
tion bill.

BETTER CREDIT
FOR FARMERS

Better credit facilities for farmers
are being provided by the government
for the benefit of the agricultural in
dustry under the terms of a law passed
during the closing days of the recent
session of congress. The most import
ant part of the new enactment is that
which creates intermediate credit
banks, to be conducted under the direc-
tion of the Federal Farm Loan board,
the same board which has charge of
the land banks. The credit banks are
separate and distinct from the land
banks, though they will be located in
the same twelve cities and serve the
same territory as the twelve district
land banks.
These credit banks are being started
with a capital stock of $5,O00,O0O each,
subscribed by the United States treas
ury and to be owned by the treasury
permanently This will provide to-
tai working capital of $60,9O0,000. The
loaning power Of the banks is fixed at
5000, ,00a. 900, in addition to the $780,
100000 capital. This is big sum,
more money, in fact, than the War
Finance Corporation was called upon to
advance as emergency aid to the agn-
cultural industry. The new system is
permanent part of the federal bank
ing machinery and it is SO planned
that loans can be made on livestock
with maturity varying from six
months to three years. This is one of
the permanent features of the law,
namely the time of maturity of loans,
which is fixed in accordance with farm
turnover and not on commercial
basis. --
Credit legislation was put through
as compromise, at the last minute
and under pressure of the farm bloc in
congress. There were three measures
up which had to do with financing the
farmer. One was the Lenroot Ander-
son bill, emboyding many of the sug.
gestions made by the Agricultural In
quiry commission; another was the
Capper bill, providing for the creation
of private farm financing corporations
under federal supervision, and the
third, known as the Strong bill, con-
tanned among other things, an amend.
ment to the Federal Farm Loan law,
raising the limit of individual loans
on land mortgages from $4,000 to
$25,O00. y
The combination bill retains this
feature of the Strong bill, so that
Federal Land banks now may lend as
much as $25 900 to one individual. This
provision was not altogether favorably
cons dered in the West, because the
land banks have been of greatest ser
vice in this region to the small farm
in the loan limit would divert funds
i to the farmer whose holdings are large
and who has less need for the favora.
BILE terms of an amortized loan at the
low rates granted by the Federal Land
banks. Those who favor the increase
contend that it will be bencfic al, be
cause the greater demand for money
the larger the flow of investment cash
for lending, and, consequently, farmers
of all classes will benefit.
just what the effect of the reten
tion parts Of the Capper bill will be is
not yet clear. This will depend upon
whether private corporations take ad
vantage of the law. Such corporations
would be under the supervision Of tht
comptroller of the currency. They are
to have a minimum of 4250,000 capita
and they are authorized to deal II

Your Health
By DR.. CLIFFORD E. ROBINSON
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?

Physicians who examine life insur-
ance applicants frequently detect high
blood pressure Examinations in New
York by the Life Extension Institute
and by war examining boards showed
the same thing.
High blood pressure is a symptom
that something is wrong. 1t means
the heart has to exert undue force to
drive the blood through the arteries
which have become thickened, restrict
ed, narrower, so that they supply less
blood to organs and tissue for cell
building and repair.
In other words, heart and arteries
are degenerating or wearing out
through some cause you have created
by improper diet, lack of exercise, OF
habits that tend to break down your
resistance and health.
The main cause of arteriosclerosis
Hardening of the arteries) is high liv-
ing and high nervous tension. Rich
and poor alike suffer.
Another cause is stimulating the
adrenal glands (small organs adjacent
to kidneyso by smoking. This secre-
tion by these glands, IN excess, affects
the blood vessels, constructing them
and increasing blood pressure.
Don't invite high blood pressure by
intemperance in eating or working.
Seek your physician before you have
to live the hygenic life you should
have developed in youth.

MELONS CONCLUSIONS.

The country has confidence in the opinions
of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. His ca
pacity to draw sound deductions from known
facts has been demonstrated time and again
in his tWo-year task of bringing order out of
chaos in the treasury department Hence Mr..
Melons conclusions on the European situa-
ton, based on personal observations over a
period of several weeks, are worthy Of special
attention. He believes the situation in the
Ruhr is to blame for most of the troubles in
Europe, but sees no solution for it. He does
not think there is any opportunity or good rea-
son for the United States to project itself into
the problem.
That is the conclusion reached also by other
observers who have not permitted their judg-
ment to be warped by sentimentalism. Great
as is the need for a settlement in Europe, the
United States would only arouse the ennity
of some or all of the parties to the controversy,
as well as court disaster for itself, if it at
tempted to apply remedy. The attitudes of
Great Britain, France, and Germany are. so d-
vergent and SO emphatic that it would be idle
for fourth party to intervene and attempt a
compromise. Were this country to take a
hand in the turmoil, it is likely that they would
find common ground for attack on us, and our
pacifcation efforts would be worse than use
less.

BELTTTLING WOODROW WILSON.

The American people, regardless of what
party they may belong to will find little SYM
fpathy for attacks made upon former President
Woodrow Wilson by men like the Earl of Birk-
kanhead. We do not believe that Brkenhead
reflects the British opinion of Mr. Wilson and
attacks of this nature will only prove discour-
aging to the development of a better feeling
ebetween the two nations
Woodrow Wilson is a broken man. His con-
EDITION is due largely to the fact that he gave
heavily of his strength-both mental and ply
| sical-to an effort to better the conditions of
a world sick from war. Whatever may be the
opinion of Americans toward the policies adj
vocated by Woodrow Wilson not one of them
has for minute raised a question as to the
sincerity of his purpose.
He saw world sick of war and sought a
panacea for the causes of war. He may not
have found the panacea but he made an earn
est thoughtful effort to find it and what little
order has been brought out of chaos over in
Europe has been aided very materially by the
suggestions of Woodrow Wilson
Wilson may have been an idealist but he fol-
lowed his ideal with the vigor of man who
sought the best possible things His policies
may be open to attack but his sincerity in pro-
posing thenl-neveT.
1t is known to Americans that Woodrow VIII
son is no longer able to defend himself or his
policies, He is paying the penalty which many
