In no better way is the Denver Il
Rio Grande demonstrating the sue
cessful policies of the new manage
ment of Vice President Horace W

the road is handling its special trains
The Rio Grande has hauled three
specials carrying theatrical companies
this season. and in every instance has
beaten the schedule time of the train
between Denver or Pueblo and Salt
Lake by at least two hours. The

FoOlipg the People.

Obedient to the decree of Republi-
can bosses, after several conferences
with Republican s.ate officials and
Republican leaders in the legislature,
the senate refused by a party vote TO
reconsider the Clevenger resolution,
the purpose of which Is to balk all
taxation Legislation this session.
The Cleyenger resolution provides
THAI. the whole subject shall be re-
ferred to a special joint committee ol
the house and senate to report at the
next session.
This means delay Of one whole year,
and is the purpose Of this resolution
regardless Of the plank in the Repub-
llcan platform last fall favoring tax
alton reform.
Senator Rathburn, who made the
motion to reconsider and voted with
the Democrats, did not hesitate to de-
nounce the resolution as a dodge to
force delay adcpl ed at the instance OF
certain interests and influences.
Senator Tuttel, the only other Re
publican who voted with the Dem
ocrats for reconsideration, declared II
a mistake TO atempt to dodge the is
sue of taxation reform,
This plan of referring the subject
to commidtee to Investigate and
report" is an old dodge, worked al
ternately with proposed taxation
amendments to the constitution. The
state had just witnessed the futile
effort of a tax commission appointed
by Governor Harris in response TO a
resolutio nadcpted during the session
of 1906. That commission reported
to the session held last year and
ncl hing further came of 1t. A taxa
tion commission was Grated during
the administration of Governor Nc
Kinley with the same result. Now
this Legislature proposing another
comes the Republican majority in
this Legislature proposing another
special committe to cause another
delay.
lit is the admitted purpose Of the
Republican bosses and their servie
majority in the Legislature to do
nothing this session in the belief that
they will thereby embarass the ad-
ministration Of Governor Harmon.
Their avowed intention is to edo
something" next session with which
to go before the people in the cam
paign next year and square them

will the people be deceived by
such a political game? The Republic
can bosses think the game will work
again because the people have been
fooled so often and so easily hereto
fore. They will find the people mach
wiser next year.

Obeying the Bosses.

This special session OF the legisla-
tire was conceived in political in
iquity, and the Republican bosses
have decreed that 1t shall continue
and end in political iniquity.
The studded purpose of 1t all is to
hamper the administration OF Cover
nor Harmon in every possible way.
For this purpose the recess APP
poantmens of the retiring Republican
governor were railroaded through the
first day of the session and was the
only business transacted before the
inauguration Of Governor Harmon.
For this purpose also the RepubE-
can bosses have issued orders that
every administrative policy of the
Democratic governor shall be balked
In the house or In the senate. Phipps,
'the new Republican field marshal in
Ohio" even went so far as to go on
the floor of the house to openly lead
the fight against giving Governor
Harmon additional authority to in
vestigate state departments and in
situations.
After several conferences of the
bosses held in the office of the new
Republicans attorney general attended
by Republican leaders in the legis-
lataTe, orders were issued TO slaughter
Governor Harmon's taxation meas
ures, and that nothing to be done at
this session to meet the Immediate
and imperative needs OF the state.
This decree was communicated TO
the senate at caucus of Republican
senators, and personally conveyed to
Republican members OF the house
through the party wthip, Erwin, of
Meigs, floor leader on the majority
side.
