GOOD ROADS PLAN WILL HELP
FLORENCE AND CANON EQUALLY
The Road to Colorado Springs Mech Florence Road
Conon Road Can Be Plainly Seen BY
G1ancins at Map-Both Towns Interests
Identical in Good Roads Move


The Florence Tribune of Jan. 23rd
says:
1T is clearly evident to The Tribune
that Canon City has nothing to be
gained by the road reaching Florence,
and certainly will not boost to have
it touch this place, and Florence has
much to lose If 1t should be built and
not come this way; and for this rea-
son the business men of this place
should make themselves mighty busy
to the end that it may come here"
The foregoing extract from the
Florence Tribune shows plainly that
the editor Of the Tribune does not un-
derstand the plansl for this road or he
would be as heartily in sympathy with
the move as any Canon City person,
for he is both fair and liberal in such
matters.
AS a matter OF fact the road that is
talked of between Canon City and
Colorado Springs will be OF just as
much advantage to Florence as to
Canon City. 1t is in fact as much a
road between Florence and Colorado
Springs as between Canon City and
Colorado Springs.
If the state appropriates $4,000 as
asked. or any other sum of money for
this road it will practically all be
spent near Beaver Creek and Red Hill
and between. 1t would all be spent
the other side OF Penrose.
From that point one road leads to
Florence and another to Canon City.
In fact the road to Florence is much
shorter and has been put in very good
shape.
The roads from both Florence and
Canon City to Penrose or to the Bea-
yer Creek crossing are in pretty good

in charge Of such legislation.
We are to expect more good road
legislation from this session. The
state Good Roads society is backing a
bill appropriating $150.0o0 out OF the
general funds for good roads. This
is to be used by the counties which
will double the amount asked for out
Of the county funds. That is. II a
county wants $4,000 of this fund,
that county must put up $4,000 to get
it.
The chief objection to this bill
comes from county commissioners
who are opposed to the state engi-
neer's Office handling the funds. Coun-
ty commissioners think the state en-
gineer's office Is rather extravagant
in such matters.
There is about $4,000 in the inter-
nal improvement fund. There is and
will be in about q hundred bills ask
ing for appropriations from this fund
and when they are all totaled up 1t
will probably require a million dollors
to meet all demands.
One Of the best bills Is of course for
the Canon City-Colorado Springs
Road. This appeals to many for II
puts Colorado Springs and Denver
within easy reach OF Canon City and
the Royal Gorge. 1t will connect the
big cities with the greatest natural
wonders Of Colorado. 1t has excellent
support.
Fremont County's interests are
pretty we'll looked after in this session
Of the legislature. We have in the
house Dr. Alan Bell of Lincoln Park,
and Prof. Alfred Durffee OF Florence
both or whom are taking an active
interest in everything OF interest to
US.
In the senate We have Matt n
Lines who proved a pioneer In the
house last session and third inter-
est Senator Tulley Scott Of Cripple
Greek who represents Teller. Pueblo
and Fremont counties. He Is a hold
over from the last session and 10 we'll

Proposed Legislation

A bill Is proposed to make 1t un-
lawful for any railroad to give a pass
to any individual.
This would be just law that
should appeal to any fair minded rep
resentative or senator as we'll as to
any railroad.
Passes are probably not offered or
accepted as brbes-yet what else can
they be? Why are they given? Can
senator who gets all the passes he
wants for himself or his friends look
and vote absolutely impartially on
measures that are suggested by such
railroads?
During the last legislature II is said
that the management of one road
alone wrote up $50 passes every
morning for members of the legisla-
ture. Did the road do this without
expecting something in return?
And the abuse OF the pass habit by
members Of the legislature is only one
phase OF the pass evil.
A bill has been introduced reQuir-
ing towns and cities. also school dis
tricts, to publish a monthly statement
OF its bills allowed. This Is now done
by county commissioners and has
proven an excellent law. The bill
should become a law. Nothing adds
SO much to the safety OF the public
funds as publicity.
Canon City has suffered less from
graft and improper expenditure of the
public funds than most cities of the
state. Yet how little we know OF the
disposal of the money we pay in tax
es! We pay many thousands Of dollars
every year and yet none but the mem
bers of the council. or the members
OF the school boards know who gets
the money.
In one city we know of. large sums
have been paid TO the council men
each month for supplies and other
contracts. in direct violation Of the
law. These council men will of
course be opposed to any law reouir-
ing publicity OF such Items.
In another city We know OF a ticket
was elected one spring on the pledge
that It would publish lists of all bills
and expenditures and that city has
ever since carried out the plan.
The cost is trifing. The bill calls
for one publication in one issue Of
one newspaper.
The saving over a term OF years
would be hundreds OF times as great
as the cost.
Some one has proposed a law linn
iting the franchise to people who can
read in English the constitution Of the
United States. This 10 coming and
the sooner the better. Politics have
kept 1t from us before. and yet 1t Is
doubtful which party receives the
most benefit from the ignorant vote.
