Report of MInina Commission.

Denver.-Main causes of coal mine
accidents, according to the Shafroth
commission, headed by Victor c. Alder
son, president of the State School of
Mines: Carelessness and ignorance
on the part Of miners, mostly foreign
ers, in violating the accepted laws OF
safety; lack of discipline in almost
every mine visited. and. indifference
of one division of mining operators TO
safety of mines. Main RECOMMENDED
tons: Establishment of a board Of
coal mining commissioners that shall
supervise all coal mines in the state;
establishment by coal companies az
own expense of inspectors TO patrol
mines and enforce rules; creation Of
mining institutes" to instruct coal
miners in their duties; that the pro-
posed commission hold examinations
and issue certificates to mine superln-
tendents, company inspectors, fore
men, fire bosses and "shot.firers," and
that none but certified men be emf
ployed in such positions; division OF
state into seven districts with deputy
Inspector in charge OF each; that res.
cue stations be provided in coal
centers; and that revolution take
place in the prevention OF fires and eX-
plosions in mines through the use Of
fireproof materials in construction and
in ventilation; and that one cent per
ton of all coal mined be paid by oper.
ators into a fund to help meet eS-
penses of proposed commission and the
increased inspection cost. And the
added cost to the mines will mean az
tual saving in freedom from catas-
trophe and accidents

not fair to disfranchise possibly 80
good citizens in order to catch one
yenal voter.
1t will, | believe, be admitted that
those voters, excepting negroes, AT
whom str ngent regulations are aimed,
will be found almost exclusively in the
cities. Not that the citizenry of our
municipalities is not of high order, but
owing TO the thick population election
evils may be more easily pefperated
in them than in rural communities. /
make the suggestion, therefore, that il
discrimination is to be made it be in
favor of rather than against the rural
voters that if we must have severe
restr ctions they be placed upon the
cities alone. Reference to memoranda
given above will show that in many
States that are noted fot their pro-
gressive legislation with regard to the
ballot no registration is required in
purely rural communities.
If registrat on should be required in
rural communities, better provision
for the convenience of the voters
should be made. Registrars should be
provided for each militia district, "
the tax-collector should be compelled
to visit in person or by agent eaen
militia district on some fixed or adj
vertised days before each primary or
general election for the purpose of af-
fording each voter this facility with
out extreme Inconvenience to him. 1t
is proper to add that by the census Of
1900, SO per cent, of the population Of
this State resided in the country,
large proportion Of them many miles
from the court houses.
