Editor, The Arvada Enterprise.
Arvada, Colo.
My dear sir:
Will you kindly grant ME space in
The Enterprise to answer letter
written by Mr.. A. NJ. Donnell of
Wheatridge. which you printed few
weeks back.
l ask this. SO that the people who
have not attended the various meet
ings throughout the districts under
consideration in the proposed consol-
ldation will not retain the mistaken
idea on this proposition as brought
out by Mr.. Donnell.
If Mr.. Donnell would read care
fully the posted notices of this cleo
ton, he would find nothing men,
toned about consolidated school,
but the election is to vote upon the
question of consolidating the several
school districts. And no question
can be voted upon lawfully except
such questions as are contained in
the posted notices. Furthermore, the
consolidation of the schools, has new
er to my knowledge, been under
consideration. The proposition is
purely one of creating a larger
school district, one with assessed val
uation sufficient to build and oper-
ate first class high school at the
least cost to the taxpayers. At the
same time maintaining the primary
schools in their present location bu:
upon a more efficient and econoni-
cal basis.
Mr.. Donnell expresses great fear
about overeNpansion and costs, etc.
He must know that any future board
would have to come to the people
tor monies to use in any and all
building programs of extensive pro-
portions. Consequently the majority
vote of the people determines the
size and cost of such programs.
Cost of labor does not in any way
enter into the proposition, we need
a new high school and, bricklayers
and carpenters to the contrary, l be-
lieve that one of these days will see
the erection of a building that will
do lasting honor to the great COM
munity and honor to the foresight
and courage of the taxpayers resi-
dent therein.
Yours truly,
ROBERT 0. PARK,
Chairman of Executive Committee,
of the Boards of Directors of the
affected districts.

CLEANING UP THE SCENERY

There has been much political
agitation to remove unsightly bill
boards from scenic spots on beauti-
full highways which are being built
in various states.
Without waiting for legislation
on the subject, one of the largest
users of sign-boards on the Pacific
coast, the Standard Oil company of
California, has removed over a thou
sand of its road signs.
Other large companies in this
section. which is noted for its beau
tiful scenery. have indicated their
willingness to follow the lead of the
Standard Oil company. Comment
has been almost unanimous in favor
of this action.
Nothing is more u~nsightly than
a collection of f~ifty-seven varities
of signs as one enters every town
or city, or at points where the eye
is attracted by a beautiful view of
some other object of interest.
1t is altogether probable that bet
ter advertising results could be Sc
cured by spending the same amount
of money in the rural newspapers
of the various states.

TIRE RENEWALS AND GOOD
ROADS

No one has profited more from
improved public highways, no one
is as much entitled to be taxed and
no one should be more willing to
pay for the construction and main
tenance of improved highways. than
the owners of automobiles.
For not only have improved high
ways increased the comfort and
pleasure of motor travel, but great
ly reduced the cost of it.
Take for example. reduced wear
and cost of tires. In 1916. man
ufacturers placed average require
ment of tire renewal at five tires
per a per year. In 1923 the av-
erage was placed at two and one
fourth, a reduction of So per cent
There are 100000 autos in
this country, and based on the re-
quirement of five tires per car per
year for renewals. it would require
100000 tires. Based on two
and one-fourth. it means 5.777,777,
a reduction OF 7,222,223.
Placing the average cost of new
tires at SIS for all grades of autos.
this means an annual saving to au-
tomobile of s108,333,345
on tires alone. say nothing of saving
in other respects.
In California with its 1,0s2,41O
registered autos. the annual saving
on tires by of autos is SIS,
9S6,150 and in Oregon, with its
166,412 registered machines, it is
s2.496,180.
Admitting of improvement in the
construction and quality or durabil-
ity of tires in 1928 over 1915, the
fact remains that in a reduction of
s10S,333,345 in the countrys' an
nual tire bill, improved highways
have played a large part.

FOREST PROTECTION

Some very complimentary letters
have been received at the local for
estry office regarding the coopera-
fion which the department received
from he Cody newspapers. and it
Is gratifying to know that the high
er-ups in the national forest service
are moved to express their apprecia-
fion for the cooperation received.
The greater part of the credit for
h people Of Park county is due to
the untiring efforts of Margaret
Hayden of the local office. She,
with the encouragement and assist
znce of the officials of the super
yisor's office have accomplished more
through this campaign in selling the
Shoshone forest to the people of
Northern Wyoming than has been
done in years.
1t should be impressed upon every
man. woman and child in the United
States that the forest belongs to
them. Belongs to them just as
much as their own property. They
must come to realize that the for
ests are a part of their property.
and to a very. very great extent
nix h value of that property.
Let us look at it from a Cody
standpoint-what would Cody do
or be without the S~hoshone forest?
How would Cody appeal to you as
a home If the thousands of hills
to the westward were a blackened
area of burned over timber? How
adequate would our water supply
be without the vast water sheds
which feed the two forks of the
Shoshone. and furnish ample water
for the irrigation OF hundreds of
thousands of acres of fertile lands
in h valley? There are many
other economic losses which would
strike very close to the future of
our homes were it not for the re-
sources represented by the national
forests-eyery one of them lending
just n argument after another

MAKE THEM FULL PARTNERS
Casper Tribune)

1t is with some qualification that
ii Is learned that the Republican
women of Wyoming are preparing
to inaugurate a vigorous campaign
this year. They nave taken a part
heretofore, but nothing comparable
to what is now contemplated. AL
ready club organizations have been
established and in process of form
ing.
One thing the women are doing
they have never done before, they
are demanding things. and proving
their right to them. They are in
structing their sisters in the several
counties to attend the county con-
ventions or central committee meet
ings, where state convention dele
gates are selected. advising them to
take part in and see to it hat they
secure a reasonable share of the
delegates to the state convention.
And even further the women are
asking that representatives of their
sex be recognized and commissioned
as delegates to the national conven-
ton at Cleveland.
They base their claims upon the
fact hat they represent forty-ive
per cent of the Republican vote in
Wyoming.
This estimate cannot be far wrong.
And in the original equal suffrage
state of the union, if the women in
sist. we fail to find any reasonable
excuse why they should not have
their way.
Women of late years have be-
come thoroughly skilled in handling
public gatherings conducted under
parliamentary rules. We believe
that they are as adept in all else
that pertains to the nomination and
election of public officers.
While they may not be so skilled
as men in the fine tricks of politics
that come with long practice and
long experience, in time We feel as
sured they will be able to give US
cards and spades and still beat us
out, in the game at which we be-
lieve ourselves -past-masters.
There is one thing most certain,
no group of women in the world,
however inexperienced could muss
things up in worse fashion than men
have done of late and as men are
at present doing in the United
States senate at this very moment.
We are for taking the women into
full partnership in politics, and do
ing it at once. This il the hope
that will add greater responsibility
to the greatest American game we
play.

Unity

Since the st. Paul convention opened deluge
of lies sent out every capitalist press serv
ice in the country. A split was predicted. There
must be split at all costs. That was the burden
of their song. The capitalists wanted the st. Paul
convention disrupted at all costs.
Why? The question is not difficult to answer.
There were gathered there the representatives
of the class conscious workers and farmers who
were determined that break must be made with
the old capitalist parties and new class Farmer
Labor party organized that will lead the workers
to freedom the ruins of the capitalist system
The St Paul convention wanted to act now, and
not merely talk about what should be done If this
or that labor faker or bourgeoise politician was
willing. The workers and representatives of the
exploited farmers at st. Paul we're not waiting
for political Moses. They believed in their own
ability to solve their own problems Had the CON
vention been broken up the task of forming real
class Farmer-Labor party would be put off for an
other period and the takers of the O. p. p A. could
then follow their own sweet will on July 4, and
drag the workers along at the tail Of some bour-
geose politicians political kite for another period.
But the capitalist press is disappointed. There
was no split. Instead, there is unity of purpose.
The work is going ahead. The workers wanted
unity and they not going to allow the agents
of the bourgeoisie to disrupt their convention.
Today there is weeping and wailing and gnash.
ing of teeth in the camps of labors enemies.
