BUILDING TO BE
IN EFFICIENT HANDS

The structural upbuilding Of the
country will be in the hands of more
efficient and responsible men from
now on. Losses due to failure or in
efficiency have caused State author
ities, public service corporations and
ibonding companies to take a stand
which will result in the elimination
of men not qualified to engage In
construction work, particularly big
undertakings in which large money
is involved or the public's interest
affected.
The conference resulted in the
working out Of a plan which will
make It necessary for a builder to
prove to the bonding companies that
he is a worthy risk.

STRAUS REPORT

Authority Doubts That Inter-

in Long Time

"While a 6 to 61k per cent
coupon rate has prevailed on the
preponderance Of first mortgage
real estate bond issues made in
the East for the last three or
four years, per cent Is now
the prevailing quotation, with a
tendency toward lower rates." said

W.. Straus and Company, yes

The per cent rate was the
generally accepted quotation for

Issues, here in the East, for many
years. It would thus seem that
this figure more nearly approaches

other.

largely to the tax question, which was

the ball by very decided criticism

alton of the whole tax system and the
present reckless spending of money.
He also denounced the good roads
movement and thought the tourists
were tramps who should be summed.
Richard Dillon of Sedalia, vice presi-
dent of the Colorado Association, de-
clared the only solution he could see
was TO change the method of assess
ment and value farms and ranches on

Mumpers of Greeley thot the way out
was to lower the valuation again to
the old basis of one-third or one-half

the fault lay in the legislators, who
were mostly tools of big business and
the corporations. w. S. Whinnery
suggested that the only real remedy
was to quit spending money and vot-
ing tax levies. He also stated that
the state and nation would never pay
all these bond issues, but intimated
that he thot general reputation of

An address Of welcome from Mayor
Frank ". Zugeldcr was given in well
chosen words. and Wilbur Curtis then
welcomed the visiting stockmen ON be-
hall Of the Gunnison association. The
two speeches of welcome were re-
half Of the state body.
The address Of the morning was
given by Senator Lawrence c. PhippS.
who detailed the Phipps bills with
their new proposals for management
of the public range outside Of the
fotest reserves, and then made ar
extended tariff argument about the
alleged benefi, of the Emergency Tar
ifT and Foriney- -McCumber bill in aid
ing the meat producer. Mr.. Phipps
made considerable speech for the
tariff, and found many agreeing with
him. On the conclusion, W. s. Whin-
merry moved vote of thanks to the
senator for his efforts on behalf of
the stockmen, and it was given by a
rising vote.
In the general discussion following
his speech, objections were made to
certain provisions of the Phipps bill,
especially to placing the unoccupied
public lands under the Interior De-
partment. II was the contention OF
l.. H. Rouviere, w. l.. Curtis and
others that the agricultural depart
ment would be much better, as the
forestry bureau already had the ma
chinery to administer the grazing
leases. Mr.. Phipps. however, called
terror department to handle the claims
of homestead, timber, stone, desert.
mineral entries, etc. Much objection
was raised By local stockmen against
the $40 acre homestead. and Mr.. Rou-
Were stated that ninety per cent OF
the entries allowed were fraudulent or
in plain violation of the purpose Of
the law, not being taken for real
homes, hut TO enable certain stockmen
to secure large tracts of decided land.
Mr.. Phipps stated that while the
settled policy of the forest depart
ment was to charge all the traffic
would bear in making it a commercial
money-making proposition by doubl-
ing the present fees, it was the pur-
pose of his bills to reduce the grazing
fees to the actual cost of administra-
ton. Or since one-third of the pres
ent collections are turned over to local
schools and roads, he proposed to set
the fees at approximately three
fourths Of their present limit. and then
give half the collections to schools and
roads. The policy of the Interior De-
partment is to hold public lands in
trust for the people, not to assess and
collect revenue from them, and as
such he considered it of more benefit
to retain the control in the present
land department.
Mr.. Phipps asked that a committed
