States and during one OF his memor-
able visits to Colorado, in one of his
public utterances. Theodore Roose-
welt said: Build permanent and at.
tractive highways throughout your
state and you will become the Switz,
erland of America and the playground
of the world"
Recognizing the great truth of this
statement and the vast benefits to ac-
crue to our commonwealth through
this medium, we declare for a com
prehensive system of roadbuilding in
our state which shall conform to a
general plan approved by our state
highway commission.
We recommend the enactment of
such laws by the next legislature of
Colorado as will enable counties un-
special elections for the purpose of
voting bonds to provide funds for the
construction of common public high
ways.
we ldNOT tHe GHdClIleHl lHlO law VI
the parcels post bill now pending be-
fore congress.
The agricultural school lands of the
state should be held in trust to be dis
posed of only to actual settlers, and
we condemn the present state land
board for its administration of these
lands. The present Democratic board
has sold three times as much land as
has any preceding administration, and
these lands have not gone to actual
settlers, but have been disposed Of to
spectators in large bodies.
We declare ourselves in favor of a
complete revision of our revenue laws
along lines which will permit of the
general adjustment of all tax burdens
by a central commission, or body, to
the end that the property of the small
taxpayers shall not be taxed at a
higher rate than that Of the large tax
payers.
We recommend the adoption at the

state and the advancement of the well
fare of its people.
We are in hearty sympathy with
the fullest participation of the whole
electorate in the affairs of both the
party and the government, and we
hereby direct the chairman OF the Re-
publican state central committee to
include in the call for the selection
of delegates to the state Republican
convention to be held in the year 1912
q provision that the voters at the time
of making the selection of delegates
to such convention register their
choice of candidate for the United
States senate for the term beginning
March 4, 1912.
In order to make the choice of the
Republican electors, when so express
ed, effective. we demand that all can
Gidates for the senate upon the Re
publican tickets to be voted for at
the election in 1910 and all legislative
candidates upon the Republican ticket
for the election in 1912 be required
to pledge themselves to faithfully
vote for and support the candidate
so selected.
We sympathize with the people of
Colorado in the increased burdens of
taxation placed upon them by the
present incompetent and extravagant
Democratic state administration. We
denounce the blind partisanship and
Tnseemly struggle for office which led
the chief executive to burden the peo-
PIE with the needless expense of an
extra session of the legislature. The
call for such extra session was with
out excuse or precedent. 1t was a
violation of the spirit II not the letter
of the constitution. II any eMgency
existed for the call, that exigency ex.
listed at the adjournment of the reg.
ular session, and, Notwithstanding
this, the chief executive waited pc.
riod of more than 16 months, and
until political campaign was pend.

November election of the proposed
amendment of section Q, article NJ, of
the state constitution-"Fu Funding the
State Indebtedness" The Republican
party has always maintained a high
standard of commercial honor and the
payment of all honest obligations of
TIE state and nation.
All state warrants to be funded un-
der this amendment should be thor
oughly investigated and their validity
determined, and the losses to the pub
lie school fund by investment in these
warrants should be made good as
promised in the state constitution and
proposed in this amendment.
To the reimbursement of the school
fund the public faith is pledged and
the injustice of more than 20 years
to other bona fide creditors should no
longer continue menace to the credit
of our state and people.
The present railway commission
law should be amended to include all
public utility corporations, and such
power should be vested in the COM
missioners as will enable them to
compel good service, equal treatment
and fair rates to all the people of the
the state.
We favor the election of supreme
and district judges in off years, to
the end that the courts may be the
more removed from political partisan
influences and that personal integrity
may control in the selection of judges.
We favor the principles of the di.
rect primary and its enactment with
such securities as will tend to make
Popular rule more effective and will
minimize the influence of great
wealth, whether that of corporations
or of individuals, in political affairs.
We endorse the acts of Senator ST.
mon Guggenheim for the faithful per-
formance of his duties as senator
looking towards the upbuilding OF our

ter not only of the Rio Grande and
stream within the state, as guaran-
teed by section l, article VI. of the
constitution of the state of Colorado.
We call attention to the success at
tending the prosecution of those COM
binations and conspiracies in restraint
of trade by concerns engaged in inter-
state commerce under the Sherman
antitrust law. There are, however,
many such illegal combinations which
can not be reached through federal
action. We declare ourselves in favor
which these combinations, commonly
known as trusts. can be reached and
effectively prosecuted.
We condemn the Democratic exec
utive of this state for refusing to in
clude it in his call for this special
session, although requested to do So.
We condemn the present Demo-
cratic gerrymander in the appoint
ment of senators and representatives
in this state as being absolutely un-
fair and contrary to every principle
Of representative government. We
pledge our senators and representa-
tives, when elected, to the enactment
of reapportionment law which will
guarantee independent representation
to all counties now Joined with the
city and county of Denver and others
in similar situations.
We favor the establishment under
the direction of the Agricultural Col
lege of an experimental station in the
dry farming section of the state to
encourage and promote the settlement
and development of those lands which
are not susceptible of irrigation.

We approve the action of the Re

sion to the voters of the state of a

diversity of opinion upon this ques-

Why every Democratic member of

Which would have done Colorado

How many grandstand Democratic

Which is preferable. apples rotting

Why thousands of acres of state
lands were sold to corporations in

Can any Democratic candidate for

Has not Shafroth sewed a couple

If Warden lyman saved the state
