Mr.. Howell. in the House, presented
the following resolution, the occasion
for which is President Taft's recent
message to Congress advising ma
tional tax on inheritances:
Whereas, the several states are
now taxing inheritances with marked
success and need all the revenue that
can properly be drawn from this
source. and
Whereas, the federal government
readily raises additional revenue when
required from other sources; there
fore, be it
Resolved, by the General Assembly
OF the State of Colorado:
"First-That the taxation of inherit
tances should be reserved to the sew
eral states as source of revenue for
their exclusive use and benefit
"Second-That the General Assem-
bly, of the state Of Colorado hereby re-
spectfully request and urge the sena-
tors and representatives of the state
of Colorado in the Congress of the
United States to support properly
drawn joint resolution. when proposed
for adoption in the two houses of the
Congress, declaring it to be the policy
of the federal government to refrain
from the taxation of inheritances for
federal purposes to reserve this source
of revenue for the exclusive use and
benefit of the several states.
"Third-That the senators and rep
resentatives of the state of Colorado
in Congress are requested to oppose
with all their vigor any measure which
will give to the national government
the taxation OF inheritances."

Governor shafroth's Message.


In a message to the Legislature Of
Colorado Governor Shafroth urges the
Democratic members either to redeem
their pledges to the people contained
in the platform on which they were
elected or else to resign their seats
The message follows:
March 22, 1909.
ITO the Members OF the Seventeenth
General Assembly:
"Gentlemen-The Democratic party
for the first time in the history of
all OF the branches of the state gov
eminent. We as its representatives
have been placed there under certain
pledges contained in our platform. The
principles contained in these pledges
in the party's judgment. as ratified by
the people, are essential to good gov
ernment. II we fail to perform the du-
ties intrusted to us by the people in
an honest, direct, inevasive manner.
our party may never again attain
such an advantageous position. Today
is truly the day Of opportunity.
Il stated in my inaugural message
to you, that the pledges constituted a
contract with the people and should
be faithfully performed. Seventy-six
days of this session have been con-
sumed by those who are evading or
trying to defeat the bills containing
these platform pledges. The conflict
is whether party pledges are to be re-
garded as sacred or deceptive devices
to gain power To concede that pub
lie official may wllfully evade. or open
ly violate pledge upon which he Sc
cured an election, is to surrender the
vital principle of representative gov
ernment. l have tried by arguing, coax
ing and begging to induce most of
these fecalcitrant members to pass
these measures. For the passage and
presentation for my signature of even
one OF them | have waited day after
day. until patience has ceased to be a
virtue
IF any member, since the election,
has changed his mind as to these
measures and has conscientious scru-
pies against voting for the same. he
should resign his seat now. If he will
not resign, then the party in each
county having such a member should
meet in mass assembly and demand
that he vote for these party measures
or resign.
In the full two weeks remaining of
this session, you still have time to en-
act into law these reforms. | wish to
warn you that if these party pledges,
these contracts of honor, are not sub
stantially complied with. I expect to
call an extra session OF the General
Assembly and shall expect the peo-
pie of this state to hold these oppos-
ing and evading members responsible
therefor. Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. SHAFROTH.
Governor of Colorado
