One Of the issues now before the people of
Colorado is the proposition to pay county
officers regular salaries and abolishing the fee
system almost entirely. 1t is more import.
ant matter than appears on the surface.
Nearly all of the fraudulent town site and
real estate companies have been tostered by
the county officers. When business is dull
in Eastern Colorado it is not at all uncom.
mon fer the register of deeds and other coun.
ty officers to plat an addition several miles
from some small town and give away the lots
to eastern suckers, representing that the gift
enterprise is engineered for advertising pur.
poses. The fees amount to q dozen times
more than the cost of the land, and the
thrifty officers are in neat amount, after
paying for the land and all the expenses of
distribution. Pay these men stated salary
and they will not be obliged to resort to such
tactics TO keep soul and body together. Colo.
rado should by all means stop this swindlins
in lots, and nsthing will stop it quicker than
to abolish the fee system.-Ldneoln (Neb)

In the near future railways viii be run by
electricity, not the small local roads. I mean,

and there is no reason why we should not ex.

we have reciprocating parts, parts that must
be put into motion, stopped and reversed con-
tinually, while in the electric locomotive we
have the simple rotary motion, which is all
we need, and which makes it possible accord.
ingly to run at much higher rate Of speed.
Although the steam locomotive has been
very much improved, yet 1t can hardly com.
pare with the economy Of stationary engines,
placed where they can have an abundant

can, therefore, by employing stationary en-
