ployeeS from civil service.
THIS Is constitutional amendment,
not statute. There is no record of
constitutional amendment having
ever been repealed. If this measure
passes and Is found to be the sorry
affair which those who have studied
1t carefully know 1t will be, what
chance Is there to get rid of it In the
face of the political machine 1t is ex-
pressly designed to erect?
Governor Jonathan Davis OF Kansas
is probably as honorable as other men
1t Is human nature, however, to keen
the shingles on ones own roof. The
governor and state printer must stand
or fall with the Kansas printing plant
for they have made 1t fetish. They
must not be blamed II self Interest
warps their judgment somewhat. Kan
sas educators, unhampered, condemn
state printed texts. No audit has ever
been made of the Kansas accounts.
Colorado school people are unit
against the plan proposed in Amend
ment No. l, as being an improper sub
ject for constitutional amendment !;
as being uneconOmical, and as being
detrimental to the schools Of the state.

County Commissioner.

l hereby announce my candidacy for
County Commissioner, subject to the
will of the voters of Montezuma County,
November a. l have served in the
capacity of county commissioner for
four years, during which time the board
has built more permanent roads than in
all previous years of the county's
history. and this has been done with no
higher road levy than during the, years
that practically nothing in the way of
permanent improvements on the roads
of our county was accomplished. My
official record on all other matters is an
open book, and if the voters of the
county desire that l continue for
another term. their support will be
greatly appreciated.

S. w. Carpenter for District Judge

AS the county papers do not publish
the tickets to be voted on at the com
ing election until Immediately prior
thereto; and as, owing to the fact thai,
as the Sixth Judicial District covers
five counties, personal canvass is of
course impossible; l take this method
of calling attention to the fact that my
name will appear on the official ballot
as candidate for District Judge; and
that shall appreciate the support of
my friends and neighbors, regardless
of political affiliations, for that non
palitical office, as an evidence of their
good will toward an old-time resident
of the county, regardless of the out
come when the votes of the entire
District are counted.

ITS SPONSORS
All right, let's.

Paragraph 2-"All the public print
ing shall be done by the State Printer"
(Not may be, or he may bid for 1t, but
shall be-regardless of cost.)
Paragraph 3-"The said Printing
building commission may ap-
point a public printer to serve until
the second Tuesday in January, 1927"
Paragraph lO-"The provisions OF
Section 13 of Article XII, of the CON
stitution, or Of acts passed In pur-
suance thereof, shall not apply to per
sons employed by the State Printer"
This exempts these employees from
civil service and with paragraph 8,
lays the foundation for a dangerous
political machine.
Paragraph 12-"This section shall be
literally construed to the end that any
printing or binding Of public nature
SHALL be done by the Public Printer"
Being mandatory and coupled with
paragraph II, which reads, "On and
after January l, 1880, ALL textbooks
used in public schools Qncludlng high
schools) Of this state shall be printed
and bound by the Public Printer" this
Is certain to be held by the courts as
prohibiting the use of even dictionary
not printed in the state shop. Kansas
only attempts to print three high school
texts, and California Is permitted un-
limited latitude in the purchase OF sup
Elementary material.
Paragraph l7-"If the General As
sembly shall fall to make AMPLE ap-
propriations us aforesaid the State
Printer SHALL draw warrants upon
the State Treasurer for necessary

such warrants to be paid out of the

Paragraph provides for bond
Of $4,000 for the "PUBllc

template two officers, one under
bond with nothing to do but look
wise, and the other, unbonded, to
handle millions Of public money!
Remember, the law will operate

Guy o. Harrison For Commissioner.

Guy o. Harrison For Commissioner.
Guy .. Harrison is n candidate for
County Commissioner in District No. 2
of this county. The office of county
commissioner is perhaps the most i'm
portant of all county offices. Our
county commissioners are in fact the
managers of our county's business.
The manner and course of all county
expenditures is fixed by them. 1t is
therefore important that we as tax
payers choose for this Office the man
who has had the widest business ex-
perience and whose record for economy
is thoroughly established.
Mr.. Harrison's record for absolute
business conservatism has been so
firmly determined as to leave no doubt
upon this question. Mr.. Harrison
promises. if elected. to carry this trait
into the office of commissioner.

SO The People May Know.

Some people in Mon,ezumo
Sounty may think the Counrv
commissioners have absolute power
as to the amount of taxes the nso
pie OF the County have to pay from
year to year. As matter of foe,
the county commissioners of ,bis
county have control of o,-y ,n.a
funds, viz; the ordinary County
revenue fund and the road fund
The o. c R fund includes ,he
salaries OF the county officers court
expenses election expenses and IN
tact all the expenditures of tbe
county except the roads and br,dg.s
! he levy Tor this fund for the mas,
'hfee years was 4 81 mills. the
road levy was 7 mills aud has bee,
tor long period of years even
before the present board went into
ofhce The levy for contingent
fund was SO mills, support of the
poor 20 mills and the bounty fund
IS mills, making a total of "a AZ
mills. the whole amount the conniy =
commissioners really have at their
disposal.
In the town Of Cortez, which is
the highest taxed town in the
county, the people pay a tax of
oo.4I mills, which is practically 81
per cen, OF the property valuation.
vi this amount the county com.
missions are responsible to the ex
tent OF and ; percent. Then il
VIII be seen that practically d and
"a per cent o. the taxes of Cortez
are voted BY the people. and IN nc
way controlled by the board of
county commissioners. Each town
IN the county makes its own levy.
80 IN these matters the county com
missicners have no authority other
than make the levy according to
the budgets presented to them bv
the respective town boards and
school districts.
During the past four years the
present board OF commissioners paid
OH the last of our county's bonded
indebtedness, and paid $40 600 of a
road debt which they inherited
from their predecessors in office
During the past years this board
has built more permanent roads and
bridges in the county than was
built In the fifteen year period prior
to this administration. Does this
look like extravaganza or real bust
ness? And who IS to blame for the
high taXes2 Certainly not the
present board Of county commits
Sloners.
We have at this time very near
completed steel bridge across the
Mancos river below TowaoC that is
a credit to any county and will
make it safe for anyone going
south from here at any time of the
year, regardless of high water
The commissioners have sue
ceeded in getting the road going
south to Gallup on the FEEDER al Aid
7 per cent funu, to the south line
of the state, and this means that
in the near future will have a
real road all the way to Gallup,
This makes it possible for the peo-
pie of Montezuma county to haul
products over a good road to a
standard gauge railroad thence on
to market.
In conclusion we will also state
that the road going north west to
Utah is considered one of the best
dirt roads in the state by the many
who are daily using it.
Very respectfully,
Henry l.. Crawford.

 Why arc you two old people running so fast?' the fat sailor asked. You look as if you had seen a bear. What has frightened you?"
 T spect you would run too if you had received a very hard thump with a cane upon the top of your heaJ" MT. Sanky said. Just you look at the big lump it made"
 Mercy me-" the little fat sailor ex- claimed when he saw the lump up- on MT. Sanky's head. Who could have been so mean as to hit a poor old man like you?"
 This made Mr. Sanky and Mrs. Sanky feel very sorry for them selves and they both began crying. Tt was Walters daddy" Mrs. Sanky told the fat sailor. And Mir. Sanky wasn't doing a single thing to him." That was a fib, but then you must remember the Sankys were real mean, selfish creatures.
 Hal" the fat sailor cried. for he had no reason to doubt Mrs. Sanky's word. Just you return with me and I will punish Walters daddy for hit ting you with the hard cane."
 So, the Sankys returned with the fat sailor and as they walked along they told him lot more fibs. They have taken our nice little home away from us." Mir. Sanky said. And we would like for you to chase them out so that We can live there! If you do, we will give you sixteen cream puffs, for the cream pnffs grow on bushes right beside the house and there is nice patch O. lollypops tool"
 We will only give him five cream puffs." Mrs. Sanky said, That is quite enough!"
 She must be very stingy," the little fat sailor said to himself.
 Then, when the three came to the little house the Wizard had built with his magic, they found that the Raggedys and their friends had locked the doors.
 Don't worry" the fat sailor told the Sankys. We will find a way to get inside and chase them out, just as soon as I rest a little bit" So the Sankys and the fat sailor sat down and rested and the Raggedys and their friends watched them from be- mnd the curtains in the little house and wondered what they would do.
