HAS IT EVER
OCCURRED TO YOU?

Wonder if it has ever occurred to
the disciples of La. Toilette, who are
prating of the virtues of the Social
istic plan for the public ownership Of
public utilities, that the freeing of
these utility properties from taxation
would call for tremendous tax in
crease on privately owned property
in order to get funds to operate the
machinery Of the government.
In other words, just to localize the
question, do these people know that
the railroads and the Colorado Power
company operating in Garfield county
pay into the county in taxes sum in
excess Of $143, 900 in real cash, and
that to make up that amount by dis
tributing the load to the other tax
payers of the county would prove a
serious burden to every other property
owneri
And besides this, who ever heard Of
municipality, state or even . ma
tion, operating a big utility project
as cheapay or ~ well az it is done
through individual or corporate Of
forti When personal effort Il stiflsd
or discouraged, a. would be the case
under the La Toilette plan, the psopls
mffer. The Ia Toilette dream IL
dangerous.

oR PROHIBITION

So many statements have been made
through the press and otherwise con-
cerning the position Of Senator Phipps
on the temperance question, tkat the
following, letter from the senator,
written to the chairman of the Repub-
lican county central committee of
Mesa county, relative to Ms attitude
on this very important question, ap-
pears to be quite pertinent at this
time:
Denver, Colo, Oct. 4, 1924.
Scott W. Hickman,
Grand Junction, Colo.
My desr Mr.. Hickman: Replying
to the implied inquiry contained in
your letter of October 2nd, 1 desire to
repeat statements which / have given
out for publication on several occa-
sions, and which have also been made
in reply to letters received by me, as
follows:
i 1 voted for the Volstead act.
1 favor the strict enforcement of
that law and all other laws as found
on the statute books. M
My vote as a member of the appro-
priations committee and on the floor
of the senate has always been for the
largest amounts Of money requested by
the treasury department to enable its
officers and employees to enforce the
prohibition laws.
| 1t has been charged that voted for
beer bin, which statement is untrue
as no bill that would permit the man
ufncture of beer has ever been voted
upon by the senate since the 18th
amendment was adopted.
1t is true that 1 voted against the
so-called Willis Campbell billy which
prohibits physicians from prescribing
beer for patients and limits the guam
tity Of wine and spirituous liquor for
which prescriptions may be written
for any one patient within period Of
ten days, and also limits the number
| D
of prescriptions physician may
write The provisions Of the bill were
so drastic that I felt that they would
work real hardship upon physicians
and their many patients.
In cases where it has been my prov
ince to make recommendations or pass
upon the qualifications Of an applicant
for employment in the prohibition
service, 1 have used all diligence and
made thorough inquiry to satisfy my
self that the applicant would honestly
perform his full duties in the govern
ment service before consenting to his
appointment. In this connection call
especial attention to the appointments
Of Hon. j. Foster Symes as U. 8. dis
trict judge, Mr.. John F. Vivian as
prohibition director for Colorado, and
Mr.. George s. Stephan as U. s. dis
trict attorney.
I am fully aware of the fact that
my political opponents have been en-
deavoring to make the prohibition
question an issue in the present cam
paign and that, in SO doing, some peo-
pie have deliberately misrepresented
my attitude.
Yours very truly,

assessors attempted to do something
they could not get away with. The
State Tax commission would not stand
for it any more than they would for
me to make a cut of more than One
Hundred Thousand dollars in the valu-

story started that I had cut the G. F.

BILE figure unless it was for the reason
the recently published figures (pre-

final figures. in all instances. The
published figures were taken from
what appeared at the time on the

tainly unfair both to me and to the

RECORDS PROVE FACTS

A story has been whispered around
the past few days to the effect that
the assessed valuation of the G.. F. l.
I. properties in this county had been
lowered by more than One Hundred
Thousand Dollars. This seemed a
strange thing for the assessor to do
for the reason the State Tax commits
sion would not stand for such a cut
If it were attempted.
To either verify or disprove the
whispered stories which voters were
hearing, Investigations wsre made and
the following figures are taken from

Agricultural
News Notes

The consignors of Morgan county
who marketed their 1928 clip
through the wool pool of the Ohio
Sheep and Wool Growers associa-
ton, have recently gotten their final
returns. The prices which Morgan
county woods netted will average be-
tween SO and So cents per pound.
1t would be hard TO estimate what
the wool has saved for the Morgan
county farmers, but it is no doubt
a saving of considerable money. Not
only has it been money making
proposition for the consignors, but
it has been an instrument in stabil-
izing prices for the non-member Of
the association who does not pool
his wool.
The Ohio wool warehouse has
been of service in marketing the
wools pooled by growers in three
states, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan.
The coming of the Michigan pool
through this state has undoubtedly
made it the largest cooperative pool
in the United States.
The New Contract
The campaign is starting now for
consignors on the new contract
which was made necessary under the
new cooperative marketing law.
This contract has very good fea-
ture which was not in the old con-
tract, that is the provision for ad-
vertising, legislation and other fea-
lures for the advancement of Ohio
wools.
Wool growers of East Bloom are
requested to attend the wool grow
ers' meeting at Rural Dale Friday
afternoon, March %.

YOUR TEETH
Head Infections

By Rea Proctor MCGEE, ID. ID. S.,
M. d.. Editor "Oral Hygiene"
The great majority of bodily in
fections are due to assesses in
some part of the head, usually IN
the mouth. throat, nose or in the
little cavities that are located in =
chain from the base OF the nose
backward to the under surface OF
the skull.
These cavities are called sinuses.
Whenever there is an abscess that
causes absorption of the poisonous
material into the blood stream, it is
called a focus-a focus of infection.
The reason so much attention IS
given to mouth infections is not be-
cause they are worse than any otner
infections, but because there are so
many opportunities for Infection IN
the mouth.
There are twenty temporary teeth
which, in the normal course OF lie,
are followed by thirty-two perma-
nent teeth. Consequently, every
one of us has the possibility Of fifty
two sources of infection in the
mouth alone, unless the teeth, both
temporary and permanent, are prop
erly cared for.
Every infection shortens life
either very slightly or very con-
siderably In order to keep a clean
blood stream, points of infection
must be removed, but how much
better it is, and how much more SEN
sible it is, to avoid these infections.
So far as the mouth is concerned,
infection can almost always be
avoided by proper care, in time.
The best time to begin preserving
1 your health for the future is now.
Just think of the wonderful oppor-
tunities ahead of us in this country.
! Only those who have health and
energy can have the success OF
which they are capable. Pus is the

He was not taken to the insane hos

became insane a few hours after her
