Colorado's total wealth is nearly

THE TROUBLE IN COLORADO.

Colorado is the most hopeless
State in the Union" says Ben B. Lind
sey Denver's famous juvenile court
judge.
But that depends upon the point of
view. Unless we are mistaken, the
Socialists regard it as the most hope
full State in the Union. 1t is ridden
by league of mine and franchise
owners as predatory, as ruthless and
as fatuous as the most enthusiastic
disciple of social revolution could wish
to see.
In the interests of the dominant
gang, the worst crimes of our times
against democratic institutions have
there been committee.
A jockied legislature nullifed the
miners lawful victory at the polls in
carrying an eight hour-day constitu-
tional amendment. A complaisant
court acquesced i'll suspension OF
habeas corpus. That time has exert
ed no saving influence is quite clearly
shown by the recent election of Gug-
genheim, of the Smelter Trust, to the
United States Senate.
Colorado is the richest of Western
States, except California; but has only
twenty-four thousand farms. Indian
Territory has twice as many; Okla
homa, three times as many, and, with
half the total wealth, two and half
times as much money in agricultural
implements.

THE REALLY RICH FOLK.

Belgium, supporting over seven
million people on an area smaller tl'an
Maryland, is much the most deucely
populated country in the world. She
has had much of which to be proud
but her working class was the least
fortunate in Western Europe.
Wages were lowest, and it used to
be the laborer's common experience
to begin work in mine or factory I'M
der the age of ten. The misery of TIL"
weavers of Client was fairly proven
bal
In Client, as we read in a recent
account of the country, stands GER
tain spacious mansion in beautiful
garden. Formerly it housed the most
aristocratc club in the city. But the
club could not bear the expense, and
gave it up. So, now, these same
weavers of Client have bought The
house; equipped it with cafe, library.
theatne, assembly, room, and, on Sun
days and fete days, they throng the
fine garden.
In the same town the workman's
"Vooruit" owns a big department
store, with theatre and club-rooms tip
stairs. In Brussels the blouse of the
People," owned by the workmen, cost
two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. In nearly every considerable
Belgium town the workmen's coop
crative society owns handsome
building, containing store, theatre,
cafe and club-rooms.
This is not because the individual
Belgian workman has grown rich.
Economically, his lot is far from
happy one. Politically, after fifty
years of vigorous fighting, he has not
yet attained equal universal suffrage.
Cooperation, compelled by crushing
pressure, makes him collectively rich
enough to afford club house that the
aristocrats found too expensive.
There is really no wealth ard no
power save that of the common peo-
pie.
They have only to get together and
the rest of the population becomes
mere fringe.

A REORGANIZATION RECIPE

A plan to reorganize the Chicago
Union Traction Company was an
nounced the other day. This COM
panys tangible and intangible prop
erty has been appraised, and the total
value fixed, by agreement with the
city, at thirty-two million dollars
Under the agreement, earnings are
limited to five per cent. upon this sum
and forty-ive per cent. of net surplus
profits, after setting aside fourteen
per cent. for maintenance and depre-
ciation-the other fifty-fvc per cent.
going to the city.
When the reorganization commit
tee met we understand one member
proposed that, as the total value Of
the property was thirty-two million
dollars and earnings restricted as
above, no more than thirty-two mil
lion dollars of stocks and bonds
should be issued.
Thereupon, all was confusion. Two
members of the committee tainted.
Another shouted for the police to
come and take the anarchist into GUS
tody.
When peace was restored, the com
mittee consulted its dreambook and
briskly evolved a plan, which provides
that bonds shall be issued to the
amount of thirty-two million dollars
or the total value of the property
and then some income debentures,
some capital stock, some certificates
of beneficial interest divided into
series A, B and c, ana some collater-
al trust notes, all footing up to about
sixty millions, or double the value Of
the property
We hear that the incendiary MEM
Der who proposed an honest capitali-
cation will be indicted. May his fate
be a warning! Once give footing to
the notion that property may in
some exceptional cases, be reorganiz-
ed without issuing bales of bogus "se-
curities," and one of Wall Streets
chief sources of profit will be i'm
periled.
No matter how patiently aqueous

an encouraging possibility that, in

WOULDN'T MISS THE BIG PA
RADE.

Standards of amusement differ. Not
far from where Syracuse, New York
now stands, the Seneca Indians gave
a grand entertainment in honor of La
Sale and his party of explorers. AS
climacteric feature prisoner was
tortured six hours at the stake
cooked alive and eaten. Father Cali
nee, the historian of the excursion,
was so unsympathetic to the spirit of
his hosts as to call it "the most mis-
cradle spectacle I ever beheld in my
life"
There is no strictly logical connec.
ton, yet we are reminded of this By
the fact that half million people
stood packed on blistering hagstones
in Philadelphia, the other day, to
watch a few thousand others toll
gasping over the hot pavement. That
some three thousand people Sic
cumbed to the heat merely makes the
spectacle more extraordinary.
Such urban exhibitions are com.
mon. We think they completely dis
prove the current notion that life in
city is, on an average, more varied
and interesting than life in the coun-
try. Certainly, nothing but rage to
"sce something" that was begotten of
the last extremity of boredom could
drive great crowds into the sun to
watch a street parade in the dog-days.
To the poor spectacle itself, add the
great bodily discomfort, and even
danger, of viewing it, and you get
measure of the incredible extreme to
which city folk will only too gladly
go for the sake of little variety.
We wonder why some enterprising
person does not popularize the steel
mills in Pittsburg and the stockyards
in Chicago as dog-days' pleasure re-
sorts. Or even why the growing
movement for public lighthouses,
bathing beaches, small parks and
Fairgrounds does not gather teufold
momentum.

PAYROLL IS CROWDED
List of Supernumeraries

Special TO Daily Leader.
Washington, Feb. i9--Judge Shep-
pard of South McAlester has filed a
protest with the Interior Department
on behalf OF the Usage Indians against
the method that is being followed in
allotting their tribal property. The al
lotment was provided for in the Indian
appropriation bill of last year and the
work is under the direction of COM
mission composed of two men APP
pointed By the Interior Department
and one named By tne tfibe. The In
dIans complain that the payroll has
the names of too many supernumera-
ries. making the cost OF allotment,
which comes out of tribal funds intol-
cradle. The payroll it is said. foots
up about 100000 a year and the work
OF allotment lacks a great deal of be-
ing finished The Indians also protest
against the proposed plan of making
the second allotment. Each Indian is
to have 4S0 acres. to be taken in three
installments
Each man took his first quarter-sec-
ton by selection. which exhausted the
supply Of firstgrade land II is pro
posed now that the location of the sec
ond quarter-section which Is to go to
each man shall be determined by lot.
Indians are opposed to this method,
not because Of any conscientious scru-
pies against lotteries, but because by
this method no one will have the
whole of his allotment in one body

The advantages accruing from con-
gressional action and indian treaties
In regard TO highways In the Indian
Territory should be accepted by the
convention in behalf OF the best inter
ests OF the new state.
Aside from the general acts Of con-
gress setting apart sectional lines for
public highways the recent treaties
with the Indians of Indian Territory
generally set aside sectional lines for
public highways.
The legal history and treaties bear
ing on the subject Of public highways
in Indian Territory is quite extensive.
In most cases the treaties are very
clear and explicit in setting apart sec
tional lines for highways, but some
cases are somewhat uncertain.
This has. led to some discussion as
TO lust what were the exact rights OF
the new state In these highways. This
branch OF the subject is too extensive
for specific discussion in this con-
nection.
This much, however, does seen clear
iAat whatever rights are reserved for
the new state either by acts OF con-
gress or the Indian treaties should be
accepted by the state.
The details of the matter may well
be left 70 the legislature but the gen
eraI acceptance OF these reservations
could do no harm and might prove
necessary to secure the state in It's
rights.
II seems very likely that whatever
rights the state has would accrue TO
It as a matter OF law regardless OF
any action on the part OF the state, but
the specific acceptance OF the benefits
of those rights would close the con-
tract IL such Il could be termed and
relieve all doubt.
The Indian could not suffer by the
acceptance OF the benefits of these
acts for hts interests are. taken care
Of by the enabling act which requires:
THAT the people inhabiting said pro-
posed state do agree and declare that
they forever disclaim all right and
title in or 70 any unappropriated pub
lie lands lying within the boundaries
thereof. and to all lands dying within
said limits owned or held by any In
dian. tribe, or nation"
The maintenance OF convenient high
ways is an absolute necessity to the
prosperity OF any community. Invest
ors and settlers will not come to a
community not well provided with a
complete system Of highways.
Land values can not rise unless
there are convenient highways lead
ing TO good markets. They never have
and never will. The Indian will be
benefited the same as the white man.
Oklahoma should lay broad and
deep her plans for good roads They
will prove a Gost valuable adjunct to
large agricultural development.
