The Denver Times Sun thus sums III
the Populist administration of the fish
| hatchery business in Colorado:
"When Commissioner Land surren
| dered the office TO his successor. tho
most critical could find little fault with
the condition of things! The principal
| hatchery near this city was as com
plete in its arrangement and rs much
abreast of the times in its appliances
as circumstances permitted. The sue,
cess achieved in Matching, caring for
and distributing the young fish was re-
markable Everything about the estab,
lishment reflected credit upon the re-
tiring commissioner and his predecess-
ors. The same could be said of the
branch hntcheries throughout the state.
To-day all is changed.
| "With the advent of the present ad.
ministration, new ideas with respect
TO fitness for office obtained. Instead
of seeking talent, devotion and expert
ercc. the executive sought cog to Il
political machine. This, with the re.
suit that where formerly cleanliness,
so essential to fish culture, prevailed,
to-day filth abounds. Where formerly
| painstaking was the feature, to-day
neglect rules.
..Where formerly appropriations
were carefully husbanded and wisely
and legitimately expended, these are
souandered. And where formerly n
splendid success was tho achievement,
now only failure is the result"
With the exception of the auditors
office, other branches of the state gov
ernment are on par with the conduct
of the fish business.
