paper talk all over the state con
cerning the advisabiIity OF a con
stitutional Convention, and several
bills have been introduced in the
Legislature to this effect 1t would
cost abou; sIoo, 600, but as the
state has not the necessary funds
to properly conduct the state insti-
tutions the wisdom of the measure
is not apparent to the naked eye.
An amendment to the constitution
permitting the submission OF more
than one amendment at one time
would avoid the necessity OF con

being less expensive, just as eff
fective and speedy enough for all

by simply raising the county levy

wiping out OF the Office of district
attorney. because it is superfluous,
and having county attorney elect
ed upon whom will devolve the
duty of prosecuting all cases. AS
the district attorney has an assist
ant in each county, the Office has
the appearance of being one for
revenue only at present. In nearly
all other states each county elects
an attorney, the same as it elects
all other county officials, and the
system is just as effective, if not

Governor Thomas, in his inau-

BILE suggestions in regard to
revenue legislation. He says that
il is a libel upon the state to assert
officially or otherwise that the
valuation of taxable property in
Colorado is less than 5000, 900, 600
Increased valuations are absolutely
necessary to secure adequate state
revenues. Four mills on the dol
lar for state and twenty mills for
county, road and school purposes
would be ample, he thinks, when
grounded upon reasonable valua-
ton. II the county levy was
limited to twenty mills in Otero
