Rising Costs and Taxes

The recent publication of the Citys estimated Grand List at what to be the same amount as the years estimate brings mind forcby the need for add tonal for financing the Cys operations Under the Cts present Charter any needed additional revenue can realized only from increase to the present tax rate glance at the years budgets adopted here appear to have been the policy effectively carried out of the Municipal government to hold III ceck as much as possible, all expenditures

Denver Democrats

DENVER, Oct 21-It requires no expert diagnosis to that the once-militant Democratic Party is confused befuddled and intellectual, like man with hangover.
 It lost its national leader and its overall pro- gressve leadership thereby. It has no real na- tional leadership. It has been weakened also by the general economic prosperity that has sapped the energy of what Tom Paine once called Summer soldiers and sunshine patriots And 1t is jittery with infusion from the extreme left. including some few Communists.
 This infusion gives it a sort of hectic flush not to be mistaken for votegeting heath-for these this has opened the whole party to attacks on the ground of Communism" distinctly phony charge but harmful in these days when most folks have money and want desperately to hang to it-and make more
 It is interesting, therefore to find an aggressive ton carrying in the old fighting Roosevelt tradi- tion. This is not so important for what may be ac- complished now, for the Democratic Party seems purely on it's way out nationally. It is important to show what progressive organization, working local ly. can do For that is the way the party can build itself up again.
 There is such organization here in Denver Its activating spirit is live-wire state chairman Eugene Cervi, former political report in public relations He has an outstanding organizing ability and 8 knack for dramatizing the issues The proof of his leadership is in results.
 AS far as the national campaign is concerned Mr. Cervi does not have much to work with Col Three are safe but here in Denver which still has Democratic city administration there is good chance for unseating the conservative Republican business man. Rep Gillespie
 Carroll veteran of two world wars formerly district attorney of Denver John Carroll is in the best pro- gressive Democratic tradition and has demonstrated ability as an organizer and campaigner.

The Democratic organization here is operating on Shoestring The lack of funds is made up by an mdomltable fighting spirit and closely knit vol,m- teer organization of labor veterans and progressive rank-and-fie Democrats with whom the city organ lzatlon Is cooperating at the precinct level Gene CerVl has only four employees in his state organiza- ton headquarters.
 Yet the success with which the Democratic cam pagn IS beng conducted is revealed not only in the hard fight that Mr. Carroll is giving Rep Gillespie for CongresS-the race is now regarded as uip and tuck-but in the admittedly good chance to elect Democratlc governor and recapture the state admin lstration after long time. The Republican regime under Gov John O. Vivian is vulnerable because of facilities, schools, and highways. The Democratic candidate for governor is Supreme Court Justice w. Lee hnouS former state legislator; the Republican, Leon E. Lavington, banker and state auditor.
 The Communism" issue is dead pigeon here was raised against MT. Carroll in the primary, but eVerybody in Denver knows John Carroll is no Com munlSt and no friend of Communists He laid that ghost by winning the nomination two to one.
 The Democratic organization here draws it's sus- tenance and strength, did the national organiza tlon formerly under Roosevelt leadership, from a11zatlon that the Democratic party must be pro- gressve party Its objective in this campaign win lose, is to build progressive organization for the 1utlre, n which the welcome will be out progress sve Republicans Thus its leaders link the party here with other local organizations all the country In what must become national movement to revive the party from the ground up fighting, progress sive instrument That's what gives it enthusiasm and spirit.
 That Is not ego but plain common political sense Gene Cervi regards progressive Western Demo- cratic Party essential to perpetuaon of the party as whole. If Democrats in the West in this election can hold their progreSSives in Congress most of them. that will be nucleus for revival of the Demo- cratic Party, as he looks at it. He has traffic at all with third party movements.

Your Health
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.

Between 35 and 40, the forenoon of life, when you really should be fully grown up, matured, at your peak of development, is no time for 8 showdown. And yet great many adults go stale long before they reach middle age-they feel, look and to all practical purposes are ten years older than any one around forty should be.
 Neither Ponce de Leon who sought the Fountain of Youth nor Metch- nikof who glorified sour milk (Bul- garian bacilluS) nor Steinach who so shrewdly worked the newspapers for free advertising of the operation of vasectomy under the name ot "rejuvenation" = really found the magic water, germ or hOrmone. Ii perchance you still find it pleasant toying with the notion that some kind of cultured milk or some kind of juggling with the internal secre- tions of sex hormoneS retardS the advance of age or prolongs youth, dream on, but as health adviser with both feet on the ground can only tell you that so far as can learn there is no substantial foun- dation for your dreams.
 OF Doc Brady, on the other hand well, at this juncture if you please I'll take 8 walk over to the bowling green and play game while you dear people get your wisecracks oil your collective chest. Then, having wiped up the green and collected bets, I'll return to the platform and Lexpound my theory, which, seeling I do not wear toupee, you may accept or reject, as you wish, but remember, I concede 1t is only theory.
 People in the forenoon of life go stale, become prematurely old, from nutritiona1 deficiency or mal- nutrition, in most instances, and in my opinion their condition is usually due to insufficient daily intake of iodine, calcium, phosphorus, vita min D and vitamin B complex. Now if you are still on the callow side of forty and even mildly interested in staying there as long as you can, you should study "The Seven Keys to Vite"-for copy send twenty-five cents clean-no glue, no stickum, no pins, staples, gum etc.-and stamp ed self addressed envelope. If you are in the early afternoon, just send stamped self addressed envelope and ask in writing for the pamphlet 'Young Folks and Old Folks"
 There is not enough room left to- day to define vite-if the word IS new to you. It is defined in detail in the pamphlet and booklet-and it is a nice thing to have whether you are in your teens, in the fore noon, afternoon or evening.
 Perhaps the most familiar com plait of forenoon folk is chronic or constant tired feeling or weari- ness, a feeling little relieved by rest or vacation, and likely to drift into depression of spirits and a bleak or melancholy frame of mind which is not at all like the indivi- duals former cheerful disposition. Not to venture too far into the noso- logical morass, let's call it day and close with the suggestion that a little nip of iodine every day or two or three times a week makes world of difference in many such in stances and can do no harm in any instance.

AGENCIES WORKING ITO RELAX PRESENT
 CLAM-ChNNlNG BAN

Both the Alaska Development Beard and the U. s. Fish and Wild life Service are sending out an ur- gent plea to the Department ot Interior regarding the ban thai nas i been in effect for the past eight months on clans from Territorial waters. Game Supervisor Jack O'Connor states that because of the present ruling which forbids the | industry to dispose of clans through interstate commerce, clam canneries have had to curtail operations. The Territorial representative are press ing for the establishment of tol- erance limit immediately so the in- dustry can determine its future eX- tent of operations.
 After the Pure Food and Drug Administration discovered a trace of poison in clans canned in the Territory. evidence gathered by the Public Health Service revealed slight possibility of death resulting from the eating of clans, but the danger is existant until proven otherwise.
 The Hooper Foundation in San Francisco has been making a thorough study of gonyaulax cat enalla, the bug under suspicion.
 The scientists are trying to estab- fish a tolerance for the poisonous effects on human beings by studying the effect of gonyaulaX catenalla on mice, but so far, the findings have not been sufficient to remove he present stigma on the canning Of clans.
 MT. O'Connor states that the Grizzly Bear recently returned from a trip through waters where the poison has been detected. Jim Stone, of the Territorial Health De- partment, went along on the weeks trip to make report of findings. Four hundred cases of clans have been seized for checking. Boats are being prepared at the present time to go out again for the purpose ot checking minus tides for clans, MT. C'Connor revealed.
