WONDER how long it will take
to teach our democratic represen-
tatives in Congress that they may
not successfully oppose a Protec-
tive tariff and at the same time
retain protective duties on lead.
sugar. tungsten and few other
articles locally produced. When
Senator Patterson was in the
senate we asked him by letter how
he hafmonized his efforts for a
duty on sugar with the democratic
doctrine of a duty for revenue
only. He answered that SO long
as every thing Colorado citizen
used was protected he would con-
tend that the only thing Colorado
produces that was susceptible OF
protection should enjoy the benc-
fit. Our own idea is that protec-
ton is either right or wrong. II
right then the party should cease
antagonizing it. and on the other
hand if it is wrong to rob the
people by a duty on farm ma
chinery and woolens il is also
contrary to principle TO add 30
per cent. to the price they are
compelled to pay for their sugar
Above all there is not single
tariff schedule that actually pro.
tects the producer. All are for
the benefit of the trusts and they
alone.

II looks a little as if the west

Attorney-General Barnett is the
man to whom we will owe it if it
carries. He has steadily fought
for the return to the plain letter
of the law in the matter of appor-
tioning the taxes derived from
this source, He wants the roads
to pay taxes by the mile accord

Heretofore the roads have in

The Socialist theory OF govern
ment seems to make headway
most rapidly among the ultra
rich and respectable. Colorado
Springs has just adopted new
charter and one of the prominent
planks is the recall. 1t would
have been simply awful for a
democratic legislature to adopt
anything SO revolutionary and the
papers would have howied them
selves hoarse about it, but it is a
good and conservative policy
when the rich people of Little
Lunnon, adopt it. Well, let the
good work go on. 1t matters not
that the source is rotten SO that
the reform is good one and the
root set in fertile soil. Many very
excellent things grow best from a
heap of compost.

If we thought that an extra
session OF the Colorado legisla-

be only too glad to have the call
made. We certainly need some
plan which will surround our de-
posits with more safety. Speak
ing of the safety in banking re-
minds US of the early Colorado

shortly after the population hung
him out with the sign Banker

of bank guarantee law but it
