The new era. (Walden, Colo.) 1906-19??, 1908-10-01

One of the most appreciated re
forms inaugurated by the Repub
lican party during the past state
ADMINISTRATION has been that of meat
inspection. Since the Republican
members of the last legislature
succeeded in putting through a
measure providing for this import
ant work, some 800 slaughter
plants have been subjected to close
scrutiny. Twenty two of these
plants failed to meet the require
ments of the new law; all were
closed. Fifteen of them reopened
under improved sanitary conditions
and seven are still closed till the
proper improvements are made.
The Inspector also oversees 600
retail dealers in meat of all kinds,
| so wholesale dealers and 10 rem
dering establishments. The people
of Colorado are grateful to the Re-
publican PARTY for this important
reform.
The new era. (Walden, Colo.) 1906-19??, 1908-10-01

One of the features of the past
Republican administrations upon
which the entire population of Col
orado is to be congratulated, ire
spective of party. is the inspiration
given the good roads movement.
And it is not all inspiration. either.
Some vigorous steps have already
been taken, through the influence
of Republican state officials and
party leaders, to bring the high
ways of this state to a better con-
dition. Numerous measures were
put through the last legislature
calling for important road improve
ments one of them establishing
an immense public highway con-
Meeting towns and cities in eastern
Colorado, from the southern boun-
Diary to Fort Collins on the north.
| This road is now being constructed
by convict labor and will be pushed
to rapid completion. Good Roads
in Colorado" is slogan of the Re-
publican party. 1t was on the pro-
gram two years ago and it is still a
vital issue. What has been accom-
plished is only the beginning. 1t is
practical form of progress for
which the party has become noted

operation of the government. OF
which he owns share.

operation of the government. OF
which he owns share.
There is the gist of the whole
matter. 1t is a fact well known
to all party leaders that if the yot-
ers of the party all appear at the
time and place set for the primaries
that they do not dare hold closed
or packed primary. The majority
of those present rules.
If a formal primary election law
can be devised that shall effective
ly induce the electorate to attend
and nominate their candidates
themselves instead of leaving it to
whoever is interested enough to at
tend to it, the time of millennium
will be nightly advanced by its
enactment. and Mr.. Bryan's 1908
campaign question shall have been
answered.
1t has been demonstrated that
the people can rule if they want to
seriously, under the party system.
and it has also been demonstrated
that rather than take the trouble
they have left to the few who did
want to to do the work. A reform,
to be effective in this matter, must
either make them want to badly
enough to go ahead and do it. or
else render it easy and convenient
enough so their present very. mild
desire to rule shall be d sufficient
motive.
The new era. (Walden, Colo.) 1906-19??, 1908-10-01
Direct Primaries

Agitation on the subject of direct
primaries has been more or less in
evidence for the past ten years.
The principal argument in favor of
the plan advanced to date is that
it compels each candidate to Sc
cure his majority at the primary
election. his nomination. by means
of securing standing with the
community at large rather than
with coterie of political managers,
as under the present party con-
vention system.
The main objections so far adj
vanced are:
1.-The expense, alleged to be
much greater than the cost of con-
vention.
2-The breaking of party lines
due to individual candidates..
The argument quoted in favor of
direct primaries has, to our view,
it's drawback, to-wit; A candidate
with ample financial means has a
great advantage over man with
less money, though of equal ability,
in furthering his popularity. The
answer to that, of course, is that
the same inequality exists in per-
haps greater degree under the pres
ent system.
Upon the first objection. so far
as we are informed, no accurate
figures have been published. If
they should be it is very probable
that it could be shown to be cheap
err to pay for printing and officially
counting ballots than for sending
delegates on trips to conventions.
Whereat ex-delegates will rise to
say they have borne their own lv-
ing and travelling expenses on such
trips, their only recompense being
the honor.
Uh huh?
The second objection gets down
to the nub of the matters, in
fact, to the mind of your humble
servant, one of two great big rea-
sons for adopting tie direct primary
if sensible, unemasculated direct
primary law can be passed. Think
of the hordes of heelers and graft
ers that would be out of a chance
to live easy and have to work
themselves instead of the party
machine A corporation, to get
into politics, would have to support
its candidates openly. 1t could
hide behind no party bosses. All
this feryor being understood to be
over a SENSIBLE, uNEMAscULATED
primary law.
The two most obviously effec-
tive ways of rendering such system
of nomination as inane and sterile
as the party convention, if not
more so, are:
Ito omit from the statute es
tablishing the system. adequate
provision for accurate and full pub
LEGATION, before election day. of the
expense of each candidate to Sc
cure the nomination. including the
sources of all contributions not of
his private fortune.
2-To fail to incorporate in the
statute some provision whereby
voters would be furnished greater
motive to attend the primary cleo
tons than mere party loyalty, or
the hazy feeling that an American
! Sovereign ought to take part in
