THOMAS OPPOSES THE TRUSTS
LEGISLATION RECOMMENDED BY
CoLoRADo'S GOVERNOR.
Urges Enactments to Resist the Ex-
tension OF the So-called Trust Sys-
tem-Favors an Inheritance Tax.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 1O.-Char1es
s. Thomas, Democrat. was inaugurated
as governor of Colorado at noon today,
the oath OF Office being administered
by Chief Justice Campbell.
The governor then delivered his in
auguraI address, at the conclusion of
which the other state officers-elect were
sworn in. The inaugural exercises
were held in the hall Of the house of
representatives. y large audience was
in attendance, and at the close of the
exercises the governor held public re
&C. ion.
Governor Thomas inaugural address
was devoted entirely to the discussion
of state affairs. He called attention
to the fact that the revenues have been
dwindhng, while expenditures were
swelling, and said financial disaster can
be averted only by keeping the public
expenditures as low as the demands of
a healthy pubic service will permit,
and by securing a system of assess
ments which VIII reach and return a
fair valuation OF the taxable property
of the commonwealth. He favored an
inheritance tax. He strongly advised
looping off or all unnec-
essary offices and abolition Of the var
ous boards in charge Of state institu-
tions, and the creation of a single board
of control.
On the subject of trusts Governor
Thomas said: AN enactment whereby
forfeiture and dissolution shall follow
the direct or indirect merger of any
home corporation into a general combi-
nation OF kindred interests in other
states, by whatever name such combi-
nation shall be known, is urgently de-
Let us prevent, as far as We
can, the spread of this contagion with
in our borders, and resist by all meth
DDS known to the law the extension OF
the so-called trust system to the pur-
suits which have thus far so greatly
promoted our prosperity and the devel-
oDment of our resources. Separation
Of church and state is an admitted es-
sential to constitutional government
Every reason upon which that doctrine
IS founded demands like divorce be-
tween the trusts and the state. If the
remedy suggested be severe, it must
be remembered that the disease is des-
oerate. MANY of our sister common
wealths are helpless in the presence of
creatures they have brought into be-
ing. but can no longer control. Let US
profit by their mournful example, if we
would avoid their fate"

Letters of regret were read from

I am gratifie1 to note the increased

Iorth IN the platform adopted at Chi
cago in 1896.
Our party has been redeemed from
the control of the mOney-changers and
IS once more in line with the teachings
OF Jefferson and Jackson, while the
republican party is becoming more
and more the defender OF corporation
greed and the tool of monopolies. In
its espousal of a colonial policy the Re
publican party simply gives open evil
dence OF its growing tendency to place
the dollar above man in the structure
Of society.
Our lives are formed from ideals.
Democrats are trying to initiate JET
ferson in his devotion to the doctrine
of equality before the law, and Jackson
in his courageous defense of the rights
Of the masses.
The Republicans are turning from
Lincoln's idea of a government of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie, to Haanilton's idea of a govern
ment by the well-born, administered
for the exclusive benefit of those who
enjoy special privileges

SITUATION is SERIOUS.
Natives Do Not Yet Appreciate Our
Philanthropic Motives.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Although moth
ing of an alarming nature has been
received from IlOiIo. there is no doubt
that members of the administration
view the situation as somewhat serious
! and are anxiOuSly awaiting further
news. No apprehension however, is
felt as to the result of any collision
which might take place between United
States forces now on the island and the
natives, but the president is very anX-
ious TO avoid any encounter whatever.
He feels certain that if the natives can
be made to understand that this gov
eminent comes to them in a most
friendly and helpful spirit, there will
be no further trouble, and so he has
given instructions to General Miller
that the utmost patience must be eX-
ercised and every reasonable request
granted in order to avoid an open rup-
ture. Members of the administration
express the opinion that the delay in
the ratification of the peace treaty has
contributed not a little to the belliger-
ent spirit shown by the natives, and as
soon as that has been disposed of it is
believed that the recalcitrant element
Will accept it as a notice that the SOW
ereignty of the islands has passed to
the United States and that no opposi-
ton to its formal possession Will be
tolerated.
The question has arisen here as to
the exact purpose to be served in at
tempting to seize Iloilo. Originally it
was intended to release the Spanish
force there beseiged, but by their evac-
uation of a place they have removed
that incentive, and were IL not for the
false encouragement it would give the
insurgents, there is no doubt that the
United States troops would not be
moved against IloilO.
Meanwhile the navy is expected to
draw a Gordon around the island of
Panay and also Luzon, should it be
deemed necessary TO do 50, to prevent
the further supply of arms and NUM-
tons of war to the insurgents. Prob
ably the gunboats now here or en- route
