DENVER, Jan. I1.-Governor Buch-
tells message to the legislature to-
day is one of the longest documents
that ever came from a governor of
Colorado. 1t was not completed until
last evening. II occupies over fifteen
columns of solid type and took nearly
two hours in fast delivery. The mes
sage is devoted largely to comments
on the state educational institutions
and compares those largely supported
by the state tax, like the University
at Boulder with Denver university
which has not state support. He shows
that independent institutions thrive
better than those paid for by the
treasury of the state, declaring it costs
the student more to graduate from
Boulder when the state is to pay for
his education than 1T does for him to
be graduated from the University of
Denver The governor goes into this
condition very elaborately and gives
facts and figures. After contrasting
the two institutions, the School of
Mines and Boulder with private col
leges of Denver. the governor went
on for more than three columns of
words to tell why the people of the
state should not pay out any extra
taken care of without any expense to
them.
Following this portion Of his mes
sage the governor referred in words
OF praise to state insane asylum, peni.
tentiary and to other public depart
ments. The message advised payment
of old warrants-and many other old
debts that have long been a blot upon
the credit of the state, although in
many cases these debts were not in
CURED in legal manner.
The university of Denver alone, says
the governor in his message, with its
,652 graduates, has saved the state
precisely what the State University
and State School of Mines have cost
together, namely three and quarter
million dollars. When added what has
been done by Colorado College and by
the College of the Sacred Heart, with
462 graduates together, you have saw
ed again approximately to the total
cost of the School of Mines, This is
to say, these three independent insti
tutions have saved the state of Colora-
do trifle less than five million.
The governor spoke at some length
Of the growing use OF narcotics and
stimulants dwelling on the good work
by the convicts in road building, and
made a strong defense of the pardons
he had issued. Il did exactly right in
every case. and am proud of it," he
said, in referring to the pardons. To
the legislature he says; Il congratulate
you on your arrival at this great oppor-
tunity to serve the state of Colorado
which we all love SO we'll When your
term of service shall have ended |
hope you may all be able to say,
with sincerity. that you have done the
things which you ought to have done,
and that you have left undone the
things you ought not TO have done.
There Is much to be said. and the time
