deavors on behalf of good roads are
appreciated was evidenced at the
celebration yesterday when Fl Paso
county people gave him three cheers

The chief speaker OF the occasion
was. very naturally. Governor Sha-
froth. who had made the trip from
Denver to assist in the commemor-
alive exercises. Although compelled
to be brief In his remarks on account
OF gathering clouds and a threatened
rain storm he aroused great enthus-

OF people 10 the state He said that
the tourist business was about the
best business the state could get and
cited how Switzerland, a little noun
tain republic OF 3.500.000 people. was
supported almost entirely by tourists
and likewise how Los Angeles with
more than 100000 people depended al
most exclusively upon the tourist
travel for lis growth and prosperity.
He said there was moral aspect TO
the building Of the Colordo Springs
Canon City road and that was the
benefit that came to the 75 convicts
who had done the work. II has de-
veloped the good qualities In these
men and will eventually make many
of them good citizens He compared
circumstance to what II used to be
when there was no reformation of
prisoners under those conditions.
While Governor Shafroth does not
believe In pardoning prisoners. he
does believe In reforming them. He
believes in shortening their term of
punishment as n reward for good be-
havior and work well done and In re-
lieying their condition where possl
