MERCHANTS OF CITY UNITE TO|
STOP FRAUD IN CREDITS
MANY CHARTER MEMBERS
EXPECTED TO BE SIGNED UP
BY END OF WEEK.

The Arvada Retail Credit associa-
ton is the name Of the new organi-
zation of business men, formed at q
meeting of interested merchants al
the town hall Wednesday evening,
The meeting was called to order
by the election Of Newt A. Olson al
temporary chairman, following which
there was considerable discussion Of
the work Of credit association.
About ten Of Golden's live mer.
chants were present and explained
the results of the association recent.
~ formed there. It was their opin.
ion that the association was wonder.
fully full Of pleasing results, lower.
ing their overhead by an entire ab.
sence Of bad debts since the credt,
body's inception.
Upon motion a committee Of five
was appointed by the chairman tc
solicit personally the Membership OF
all retailers in the community. Thii
committee is composed of VIM. Ben.
nett, chairman, W. r. UkrcheE, J. T
Kennedy, A. ]. Recht and Ralph Ash.
ton.
The committee is now engaged n
solicitation, asking that all MERCHANT,
sign up for thorough trial Of tn
association. Costs placed on mem
bership are not excessive.
1t is not the idea of the original
ors of the idea to create a public
rating list, but rather to furnish tt
members of the association a conf
dental list, rating as good, bad or in
different the credit of every pur
chaser in the community.
Honest customers will find tht
idea almost as beneficial as will tn,
merchant himself, the lowering over
head of the. stores being sure to b,
reelected in lower prices.
A tentative call has been issuet
for meeting to be held Monda,
night at the town hall. when a per
manent organization will be perfect
ed. The date is dependent upon tn
success of the committee being abl'
to see all the retailers before then.

ants with f%elonies, such as murder,
grand larceny, embezzlement, etc.
HI other one hundred and ten
were misdemeanor cases and which
of course included all of the search
warrant cases excepting the few
filed in other justice courts at other
places in the county during that
period of time. OF the hundred and
ten misdemeanor cases sixty charged
the defendants with crimes such as
petit larceny, adultry and fornica-
ton, failing to dip sheep, violation
of game laws, assault and battery,
leaving camp fires, etc. The balance
of A gases were for violation of
the prohibitory law. This record
bears out the statement hat less
than one-third of court cases are
%so-called "bootlegging'' cases.
The 1913 cast filed resulted in 40
persons being bound over to the
district court for trial on the charg-
es filed against them; 80 pleaded
guilty and were sentenced to pay
fines or serve Jail sentences; 0 stood
trial and were convicted after which
they were fined, and z were aquit-
ted of the charges against them.
In two of the seven cases filed
which resulted in acquittals the
dominating witnesses were ordered
to pay and did pay the costs of the
prosecutions, leaving only five cases
in which the county paid the cost
of the trials. Out of these five
] paCpC four wara uinlafinn of fha
game laws and one was for the
unlawful killing of dogs.
The balance of the 1873 cases in
Judge Marston's court are accounted
for by nine cases being dismissed
n six cases being either settled
by either the complaining witnesses
or the defendants paying the costs
and a dismissal of the cases and
the balance of the cases show that
defendants named therein or be
cause of the complaining witness
Withdrawing the charges filed. This
record shows considerable over two
thirds of the cases filed resulted
favorably to the prosecution.
Another interesting TACT is the
amount of moneys collected in fines
and costs in this court. OF course
laws should be enforced regardless
of the cost or any financial return,
and no financial return is ever ex-
pected in felony cases But the
records show that $1,248.O5 has
been paid into Judge Marston's
court in the shape of fines and costs
during this two-year period. This
is considerably more than the cos
of conducting this court and the ex.
penses of all hearing and trial:
had before it.

BAN TO DISTRIBUTE
TRUE-TO-LFE STORIES

There will never be anything half
SO interesting to big, warm-hearted
people as-other people. We enjoy
music, we are interested in art and
science, but nothing SO tugs at our
heart-strings as the things which
happen to people just like ourselves.
The folders, written in story form,
to be distributed by the First Ma
tional bank deserve to be received
with the keenest interest and ap-
proval. &
According to the banks officers.
these stories are to deal with the
lives and fortunes of a typical FAM
fly-not geniuses, nor people the
least bit out of the ordinary, but
"just folks" like the rest of us.
In the first story. which has al
ready been mailed. under the head
ing 1.-THE Joy of Living" the bank
introduces this family at one of
their informal gatherings. And right
from this first acquaintance, on
thru the other stories that go to
make up the series. the reader may
see mirrored his own ideals, an
billions. problems, struggles and
achievements.
And. too, he will learn from this
happy united family group much
that will be of help to him-much
that will give him a firmer, truer
grasp on the realities of life-ard
much that will increase his own
10y of living"
The literature to be distributed
by the bank is not only interesting,
in that the stories related are SO
true to life, but also because they
are so handsomely illustrated with
photographs, some in full color
likely to be retained and priced for
their artistic merit.
