THE SALMA SUM LIBERTY MARGARET TUVE, Editor THE USE OF NEWSPAPER POWER We occasionally encounter in our rounds of Julesburg and the neighboring community the type of man who believes that a newspaper is eager to publish derogatory things, or items about people that are sure to embarrass or render those same people unhappy.

Not because they lack the courage to call the bluff, but because their editors are unwilling to use the power they have in hand to send sorrow into the innocent hearts of the relatives of the man who is doing the bluffing. No, gentle reader, an editor doesnt hunt trouble. On the other hand, he is kept pretty busy turning his back on that which he knows can only stir up trouble, and that cannot do anybody any good or make anybody happy. Julesburg (Colo.) specialist.

WHY DISCOURAGE INVESTOR OF SETTLER A state ownership scheme f or power development, a home rule program for the telephone industry which would put it at the mercy of city councils instead of under state regulation, and agitation for various forms of state insurance are being proposed in Washington. Oregon has enacted a state income tax on top of all other taxWhat the ultimate effect will be no one can tell, ation measures. but the feeling already, after taxpayers have received their first blank to fill out, is one of irritation or discouragement that they must meet this new form of taxation. Will not this kind of a program be a detriment to these two Pacific coast states which need new capital and new industries? Why should the people handicap themselves with such measures if they wish to compete successfully with adjoining states? The whole proposition is up to the voters and it is certainly worth serious consideration.
