LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
At COLORADO'S CAPITAL
Governor shafroth'. M.,e,oe.

| 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
Colorado has been placed In power in
all OF the branches of the state gov
| ernment. 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. IL 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.
II 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 coneede that n pub.
lie official may wilfully evade. or open
ly violate pleGge upon which he se-
cured an election. is to surrender the
vital principle of representative gov
ernment. have tried by arguing, coax
ing and begging TO induce most Of
these Iecalcitrant 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
III 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. II he will
not resign. then the party in each
county having such 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 II these party pledges,
these contracts Of honor. are not sub.
stantially complied with. 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"

PLANS TO ORGANIZE ANOTHER
GREAT COLORADO WATER
POWER COMPANY.
M'FADDEN CANAL DEAL
WILL INCLUDE THREE CANAL sYS
TENS AT AGGREGATE COST
OF s1o,es4,ee1.

Denver-The Republican Thursday
morning prints the following:
Complete plans for gigantic water
power organization. intended to com
pete with the Northern Colorado
Power Company's works in northern
pnd eastern Colorado, were fully re-
vealed yesterday when George B. Nc
Fadden, engineer, filed maps and spec
ifications in the STATE engineers office
additional to those filed one year ago
The deal is being swung by Denver
capital and is one of the most ambi-
ticus power company propositions ever
formulated in this state. Only one
feature Of the plans as submitted is
the construction of dam 400 feet in
height to form the Elkton reservoir.
AL reservoirs are to be located on the
Cache Ia Poudre river, and the total ag-
gregate cost of the three reservoir
systems with their corresponding pipe
line and canal system is Sl0,9Si .6G1.
The plans are filed under TIE guise
of an irrigation project, although this
Is known to be the smallest part of
the enterprise.
The prospectus states that the sys-
tens to be installed will furnish irriga.
tion for li9,S00 acres of land in Lari-
mer, Weld. Logan, Sedgwick, Morgan,
Washington, Phillips. Yuma, Adams
and Boulder counties.
The company Will store water first
in the Roosevelt reservoir, the farthest
up the Cache Ia Poudre river. Water
will then be piped down t. the juno
ton of the Elkhorn and dropped per
rendicularly in falls on the Niagara
plan adopted by the Central Colorado
Power Company at its Shoshone works
Ia this state near Glenwood to gener-
ate Its power. The water will then be
run down to the Stove Prairie reser-
voir, and after leaving this reservoir
viii be used for irrigation purposes.
Hhe canal and pipe system as filed yes
tcrday In the state engineers office
are for power creating purposes. The
company expects to build its own ca
nails and laterals for irrigating pur
poses and supply with its 10000.
100000 cubic feet OF water 250.000
acres Of land in the course of time. al
though II does not possess this amount
OF land.
The Central Colorado Power Com.
pany, under the name OF the Eastern
Colorado Power Company. has entered
into competition with the Northern
Colorado plant. already with n
plant near Boulder and the
new company will make the third big
combine in northern Colorado. One of
the most important developments from
the competition of the power com
ranies will probably be the interlacing
q northern Colorado by electric rail-
way lines. said TO be one of the objects
of the new company.
The reservoirs themselves are
claimed under the following specifica.
tons:
Roosevelt eseryoir-original capac.
ity. t.G7S.sli.i00 cubic feet: capacity
