There Is *News In Every Achv-Read Them All and Profit PUBLISHED FRIDAY —READ EN EVERY PARK HILL HOME VOLUME VII—NO. 334 DENVER, COLORADO, FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1939 NUMBER 28 This and That PROSPERITY ON THE SKIDS According to figures recently prepared by the COLORADO BUSINESSMEN'S TAX ASSOCIATION, $142,176,000 was paid by citizens of the state in taxes for 1938. In plain arithmetic, that amounts to $132.75 for every man, woman and child. The average per capita income for Colorado is $504, which means that 261/2 percent of all earned income is devoted to taxation—school district, city, state and federal. While it is true that the state budget is within hailing distance of being balanced, it is also true that there will be an inevitable increase in this tax bill in the nature of additional school levies, to cover deficits in a number of school districts occasioned by the diversion of the income tax. This type of taxation does not bespeak democracy, republicanism or good government. Permitted to continue, it will destroy prosperity and will increase the very thing it is foisted on the American public to prevent—namely, destitution. POETRY DAY IN THE MOUNTAINS Statement of Gov. Carr Gi During His Campaign "I think the matter of paroles, pardons and com- munations is one of the most important things that comes before a chief executive. I believe that each case needs particular attention. I will devote as much of my time as possible to that phase of the work as governor. After investigation, if I think that a man should be given clemency I will extend it to him and I will not care what critics may say. The power to extend clemency by the governor was given for a purpose. To my way of thinking one of the reasons for giving it was to correct mistakes. Mistakes are made through a Revlon Lactol\ HOT OIL Manicure j Marcel Shop 7028 E. Colfax at Pontiac EM. 5102 *a* *u* mistaken public sentiment. There are two schools of thought on the matter of clemency to men in prison. My school teaches me to be lenient where every leniency will, in my judgment, do the most good and I think publicity hurts the chances of the man you are trying to help." The above statement was made by Governor Carr during the campaign last fall when he was asked what he thought about paroles, pardons and commutations. Since he has been governor seventeen people have received clemency at his hands. Sixteen of them are out of the penitentiary and the individual reports say they are doing well and are meriting the trust imposed io them. The fact that they were let out was not been made public. The j governor says it has been better ] for them. During the last few days publicity has been given to his acts. Governor Carr says be intends to continue the practice of allowing those whom he thinks are deserving, to leave the prison.

LAST RITES HELD FOR MRS. O. A. SIMMONS HERE TH THERE ITHE L0,! D^! HICKORY GROVE By Anna Madole Some day when the world is all awry, take a good look in the mirror, it may help wonderfully in tolerating the faults of others. The greatest water power known to man—Womans tears. The following story contains more truth than fiction, and may suggest a cause for lack of home life today. A real estate salesman tried to sell a house to a newly married couple. Said the wife! Why buy a home? I was born in a hospital ward, reared in a boarding school, educated in a college, courted in an automobile, and married in a church. I get my meals at a cafeteria, live in an apartment, spend my mornings playing golf and my afternoons playing bridge, in the evening we dance or go to the movies, when I am sick I go to the hospital and when I die I shall be buried from an undertakers. All we need is a garage with a bedroom. Here is a saying that will do us all good these days. Its good to have money and the things money will buy. but its good too, to check up once in a while and make sure you haven't lost the things money can't buy, HAROLD M. WEBSTER JR. OFF FOR PREPARATORY SCHOOL Funeral services were held Wednesday afernoon for Mrs. Olivia A. Simmons, 64, of 1590 Krameria St., wife of Edmund Simmons. Mrs. Simmons died suddenly in her home Sunday evening. She was born in Mount Pleasant, Iowa and attended Iowa Wesleyan University, where she met her husband. They were married in 1902 and moved to Denver4 in 1927. Surviving besides her husband are one son, Ernest A. Simmons and a sister, Miss Sarah Ambler, both of Denver. Cremation followed the funeral services. Harold M. Webster Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold M, Webster of 1937 Grape street, left Denver June 28, for San Francisco, California. He will be stationed at Camp McDonald on Angei Islands until he is transferred to Schofield Barracks at Honolulu, where he will enter the Infantry West Point Preparatory School. Young Mr. Webster passed very successfully both the Fitzsimmons and the Fort Logan examinations. The West Point Preparatory School is a new government institution to prepare young men for officers in the army. Those having the highest grades this fall will be transferred to West Point and those in the second class will be transferred to Fort Sam Houston, Texas and from there to West Point VVAZEE MARKET TO OPEN ON AUGUST 1 August 1st has been set as the date for the opening of the new Deenver Market and Produce Terminal, located on Wazee street, according to officials of the market. Work has been progressing rapidly during the past few weeks. Bids were recently let for plumbing in the administration building and heating in the Amato building. With the 14th street viaduct having opened last Saturday, providing a direct arterial route through No. Denver to the new market, everything is in readiness for the opening of this great new food center. North Denver is expected to benefit materially by the new location. A feller, even in a half-way doze and with one eye shut, he can see some odd things. And what I got in mind, is this excitement down there in Washington, about being scared about a shortage of electricity in case of war. This country, she is oozing with power. The government it has been building dams and putting up wires on every mountain top, river and creek. And some of them are now finished, like on the Columbia, and Wash, is sitting up nights trying to induce or inveigle somebody into going out there and use the surplus, but nobody shows up. And in Nebraska, the state it is getting round-shouldered from power. And in Tennessee, they are about floored since the government edged into the business there, on a grand scale. But the government pays no taxes—and the folks there, they have to make up the difference —and it is not so pleasant. Trying to figure out why the stripes go round and round on a zebra, instead of lengthwise, it is Idnda confusing..but trying to savvy what the government will do next, it is more so. Yours, with the low down, JO SERRA. PARK fflLL LD3RARY Dr. Herman L. Morton will review "Tovarich" on Monday, July 17, 2 p. m. at the Park Hill Library.
