LAUNDERING LEGISLATURES.

Colorado has had two regular sessions
and two special sessions of fusion legis-
latures tinkering with the revenue laws
for the purpose of framing law that
would bring more revenue tc the state
and increase the assessed valuation.
In last weeks Denver papers the peo-
pie are notified that Auditor Crouter has
made the statement that the assessed
valuation under the present revenue law
is less than it was last year.
In other words, after all the cost and
expense incident to these Legislative ses-
sions the people are confronted with the
fact that finances will be in bad way
again so far as the state is concerned. or
perhaps worse than they have ever been
before. 1t is an illustration showing the
laundering style of fusion in everything.
In conjunction with Democracy the other
parties have accomplished absolutely
nothing and left the state in worse
condition than it was before they began.
Perhaps the people of the state will ap-
preciate this and perhaps they will not.
Perhaps the people will relish the idea
of paying commissions OF several thous-
ind dollars to warrant grabbers. Per-
haps they will think of the $4,000 COM
mission said to have been paid Billy
Griffith on the Chipley warrant scandal.
Perhaps they will relish the payment of
better than S125, 200 for special session
of the Legislature to give us worse rev.
enue law than the old one-one that will
oring in less cash. Perhaps they will
enjoy all these extravagant ideas in state
government but it is more likely that
they will turn down the element that has
lailed to do business in business way.
All these facts should be weighed be-
fore the voter casts his ballot. Hunt up
che facts and if Siftings is wrong it de-
sires to have the proof produced and it
will retract as quickly as it makes the
statement.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-10-18

the voters of Colorado have been led to
believe that epublicanism represented
everything that was wrong and that
Democracy and fusion represented every
thing that was right. They have been
afforded an opportunity to see that they
were mistaken and also to see that poll
ticians were fooling them for the pur-
pose of perpetuating themselves in
power.
One year the cry is to save Silver, the
next the cry is to save Teller, the next
it is something else and so on down the
line With all their howl and promises
what have they accomplished?
Ask the voters of the state to enum-
crate what they have accomplished. Ask
the Democratic spellbinders what De-
mocracy and fusion have accomplished.
Read the Democratic platform and see if
you can find line in it endorsing the
Democratic administration. See if you
can find where Democracy has been able
to find anything in it's own acts that it
dared endorse and go before the people.
How many governors have been Of
fered a second term?
What have they done in eight years,
after repeated promises, toward giving
Denver home rule?
What has fusion and Democracy ac-
complished for the laboring classes?
What has it accomplished in the way
of revenue legislation?
What has it done for itself or for the
people?
Let the voters ask these questions
and then find the answer. Get at the
facts and if Democracy has accomplished
what it promised to or if has accomplish
ed what you think it ought to have ac-
complshed vote for the perpetuation OF
that party in powerLif not vote for the
party that has always accomplished
things and the party that brings pro-
gress and prosperity to the people.

LINES ARE FORMING.

The Republicans have every reason
to feel pleased at the manner in which
the lines are forming for the present
campaign. Every man interested in the
welfare of the state is taking part in the
cam paign. Voters are not inclined to
take the words of the politicians as they
have in times past but prefer the facts
from the records. This is what they are
entitled to.
For the past eight years it is fact
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-10-18
HOME PEOPLE SHOULD HELP.

1t is fact that for years the people
of Idaho Springs have been begging for
big hotel and for place where they
could send tourists and guarantee the
success of the city as tourist point. 1t
is also fact that we have something like
5000, 900 on deposit in our local banks.
To the outsider it looks little bit as if
we were asking for something we could
build ourselves and would build were it
the Investment we are leading the public
to believe it would be.
To a certain extent this fact has
probably retarded progress more or less.
1t is time that the citizens of the city be-
gan to show some evidence of their 10y
atty to the interest and proposition they
are so heartily commencing to others. In
other words if the people of the city be-
lieve that big hotel would be such
blessing, and we believe it would, let
them come to the front and help it along.
So far as the abstract truth concern
corning the proposition is concerned
there can be no question. A hotel in
Idaho Springs, if built on the proper
plan, would pay right from the start and
in years to come would be one of the
richly renumerative investments of the
state.
The council should do all it can to
bring about a good showing for home
people. Every dollar it expends or guar
antees will be returned in taxes in a
short time, even from the hotel alone.
Aside from that the general advance in
the price of property were hotel to be
located here would increase valuations
in such way that the city would soon
get remarka BILE returns for any invest
ment it might make.
Let the home people give this matter
attention and see if it does not sound a
little queer to be continually endeavoring
to interest outside capital into something
that home capital has been too close and
timid to undertake.
Or better than that let some of our
public spirited rich men step in and do
something for the city by building big
hotel for the accommodation of tourists.
There is an opening for our home people
to do something.
