improvements on Mu-
nicipal Light and
Water Plant Here

Frank Keenan,, superintendent Of our
municipal light and water plant in
Gunnison has for some time past been
supervising the installation of the new
and modern equipment for the plant
which will more than double its eapac-
lty and provide for the needs of the
town for many years to come. Bonds
IN the sum of $4,000 were voted BY
the Gurnison taxpayers last April, and
the proceeds applied on this public i'm
provement. When completed Gunni-
son viii have as good light and water
service as any town in the state. For
instance the new centrifugal pump is
capable Of throwing 500 gallons of
water minute in case of fire cmer-
gency. The new modern switchboard
is also a much needed addition to the
equipment.
At the present time Gunnison is one
Of three towns in the state possessing
lowest water charges and expenditures
Tor lights. In many towns where
franchises are given to private
companies for the right of operating
and furnishing the light and water
the additional expenditures are equi-
valent to about seven mills extra tax
to the property owners. Mr.. Keenan,
has promised readers of the News
Champion a detailed description of the
remodelled plant after it is completed,
so that the taxpayers can see where
the money went.

MONTROSE PAPER JUMPS ON

The MontroSe Press is strongly in
favor of having that city join with
other West Slope communities to help
Pueblo line up the Rio Grande with
Santa Fe instead of Burlington inter

"Many wonder why something def
mite is not done to influence the taking
over of the Denver & Rio Grande
Western by the Santa Fe system. This
has been advocated by Pueblo associa-
tions, who have asked the support of
the Western Slope communities. And
il is the concensus of opinion in the
Western Slope communities that it
would be much more advantageous
for this region for the Santa Fe. rath-
er than the Burlington to take over
the local railroad.
Yet, there is no concerted action.
It's shame that Montrose hasn't n

By L. J. DICKINSON

(By Leased Wire to The Age-Herald.)
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-After careful survey of agricultural con- ditiGns in the middle west it is very apparent that the farmer IS not able to cope economically with the other contending factors that make up the economic equation of the present day.
 The condition of the farmer cannot all be credited to inflated land values, or the improvement Of his buildings on his farm or to the purt chase of new automobiles or farm machinery.
 The manufacturer is able to pro- tect himself, either by holding his product off the market or by curtafl- ing the production thereof, and thereby bridge himself over busi- ness depression. Labor has also found a way by organization, where in it can protect itself from depres- sion in wages, and both labor and industry have been able to maintain a. higher price level for their prod nets than the unorganized farmer.
 For this reason, the deflation fol- lowing the war has not materially affected many industries; has not re- ldueed materially the price Of labor, but has materially detlated the earning power of the farmer. He must sell his produce at the deflated
  inflated price. This is the real cause of the business depression in the middle west.
 Many theories have been given to show that the farmer is back on the pre-war basis of the year 1913, but these theories do not take into con lsideration all of the elements With which the farmer has to contend. Most writers dwell entirely on the price level of farm products and do not take into the account the pur- chasing power of his dollar.
 Many discussions are also heard with reference to the cost of mar tketing farm products, particularly Involving freight. Long articles have been written showing that the dif- ference in freight per bushel IS only 2 e or 8 cents on various items.
 No attempt is made by these au. +hors to show how the difference of l2 or 8 cents per bushel in the trans portation charges may limit or cur tail the marketing of the farmers product in certain areas, In compe- ltitith with other producers of the same article.
 Al reduction of the freight charges of q few cents per bushei might 3open up a new area, wherein the farmer could market his product Tn competition with foreign products, Iand no one can foretell just how Tar a few cents per bushel in transpor- itation would affect the market price of any given commodity.
