BUSINESS MEN AT LUNCHEON
CONSIDER PROBLEM OF FINANCING
HIGHWAY WORK AFTER 1926
Farm Bureau President Explains Purpose and
Benefits of that Organization and Marketing
Live Stock Discussed by Other Speakers.

o. A. Cunningham was chairman At
the Business Mems MONDAY luncheon
Monday Of this week which was held
at the Methodist church.
The first speaker was Charles Mahl,
president Of the Rio Grande county
farm bureau. Mr.. Mahl made an ex-
cellent talk on the purposes and aims
Of that organization. He was followed
b. George Wright who told what he
was doing for the farmers az manager
Of the hog shippers association.
The problem Of financing the high
way work after 1923 was clearly ex-
paained BY Herbert Martin.
Briefly. the situation which confronts
the State Of Colorado In this:
By November 80, 1929. all sources Of
revenue for highway construction and
naintenance purposes will have been
exhausted with the exception Of half
mill levy. one-half Of the 2-cent gaso-
line tax and few thousand dollars de-
rived from what IL known ss the In
eernal Improvement Fund.
No additional money will be available
from the proceeds OF highway bond
Issues, and NO money will be at the
disposition Of the Highway Department
from its portion Of the automobile
6cense fees, because these funds have
been pledged to psy the interest and
retire the $6OOO.OO0 bond Issue voted
by the people Of the State In November
1022.
The phase Of the situation which
0aees II ~ critical is the fact that At
the end Of the fiscal year 1915. there
will be ~ funds at the disposal Of the
Highway Department with which To
meet the Federal Aid set aside by Con.
grsSs and allotted to the State Of Colo
rsdO. Unless the General Assembly
makes provision for additional funds.
the State will los. approximately 81
:i5O,UU Federal Aid money because Of
its inability to furnish Its share Of the

GASOLINE LOWEST
 SINCE WAR DAYS
Gulf Refining Company Leads in
 Reductions

New York, Oct 1.-The lowest prices for gasoline since the war were recorded yesterday when the Gulf Refining company, largest in- dependent refining company in the country. cut the price three cents in New York and New Jersey and four cents in Massachusetts. Two Stan dard oil companies partially met the cut with a one-cent cut.
 Under its new schedule the Gulf company quotes gasoline wholesal e at IS cents in the New England states, 14 cents in New York and 13 1-2 cents in New Jersey. The re- tail prices are optional with dealers.
 The Standard Oil company of New York, The Standard Oil company of New Jersey The Texas company and the Sinclair Refining company all an- nounced a reduction of one cent a gallon. The approach of the end of motor-touring season, when curtail- men of gasoline appears evident, and the fact that heavy surplus stocks are being carried by many com panies, were given as reasons for the reductions.

'ADOO'S BROTHER
 BACkSLA TOILETTE
Speaks at Syracuse in Favor oi
 Third Party

Syracuse, N. Y, Oct. i.-Macolm McAdoo, brother of William Gibbs McAdoo,~exprcsed himself openly in favor of the Independent progressive ticket headed by Senators Robert M. La Toilette and Burton K. Wheeler at three meetings here today. He was accompanied by Rev. John Haynes Holmes of New York.
 Attacking the Esch-Cummins na- tional transportation act as "the most radical measures in the history of this country" MT, McAdoo con- 'a3ed his addresses with the as sortion thatit is impossible for Sena- tors La Toilette or Wheeler or any other honest man to equal its radi- calism."
 The cause headed by the two west ern senators, the speaker declared would "restore to the public a gov ernment with equal rights to all and unequal rights to none. Both the republican and democratic part ies have been off and on in power during the past 50 years, and each has become corrupt so that today there is no difference between them"
 Neither John W. Davis, the demo- cratic presidential nominee, nor President Coolidge could be expected to repeal the Esch -Cummins act, McAdoo charged. Through it's con tinuance, he continued, the others of all the capital stock of the rail roads, less than on per cent of the people are assuming a right superior to all, and a right superior to the laws of each and every state which limits charges for transportation."
 "I have paid for tmy transporta- ton from New York City to Albany 20 per cent more than the legal rate which the New York Central Is au. thorized under our state law tc charge" McAdoo continued.
 The Esch- -Cummins act ranks, 1T it's donations of public property tt private interest, according to MT McAdoo with Teapot Dome" Nav al Reserve one," and Elk Hills" I put the greedy hands of the manipu lators of our railroads in the trea sury by which they obtained Ions term loans at six per cent of the public funds" Neither the public nor the employees of the railroads are benefactors from this money, he believes.

GENERAL BUTLER
 STILL CONFINED
Not Expected to Visit Office
 Before Tomorrow

Philadelphia, Oct, IA reconeil- iatlon is being effected between Mayor W. Freeland Kendrick and General smedloy D. Butler, director of public safety, according to state- ment issued today by the mayor.
 Letter From Butler.
 "As result of the interest of mu- tual friends" said the statement, T am in receipt of a letter from Gen oral Butler, which is satisfactory un- til such time as he is physically able to call upon me and discuss differ- ences, which must be satisfactorily and thoroughly adjusted"
 Differehces between the mayor and Director Butler resulted in the mayor writing letter on Sept. P in which it was reported the resigna- ton of the director was requested. The letter, however, was not deliver ed. because Of General Buffers ill., ness, and was to have been given him, the mayor announced, when he returned to city hall.
 General Is Sorry.
 In his statement today, the mayor said that three citizens. including Charles P. Vaughn, president of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce. visited him at midnight last Sunday, coming directly from General But Ter, Ito inform me that they had been in conference with General Butler and he had expressed his re- gret in regard to our differences, the attitude he had assumed toward me, and his desire that l know his feel ings."
 The statement continued: q frankly explained my position and how impossible 1t was to continue under the intolerabe conditions that he had brought about as result of absenting himself from my office for nearly three months and the lack of cooperation the mayor was receiving from the director of public safety.
