Denouncs Democratic Extravagance.
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
unseemly 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 If not the letter
Of the constitution. II any exigency
existed for the call. that exigency ex
listed at the adjournment of the regular
session and notwithstanding this the

PRIMARIES TONIGHT.

The Republican city and county pri-
marIes will be held tonight at the
various voting places. 1t is hoped that
Republican electors will not overlook
this important part of the present po-
litical campaign.
The primary is the foundation OF
our Republican form of government.
1t is here that every voter is placed
on an equality. This is the source OF
our election system. No voter can
reasonably make any objection to the
nominees placed on ticket II he has
failed to attend the primaries and
make use OF his rights there. If the
rank and file of electors fail to attend
the primaries they voluntarily and
willingly turn political affairs over to
those who make business of running
the party. If the people wish to be
represented they should take an active
interest in the primaries. 1t is usually
the case that those who fail to attend
the primaries make the greatest howl
about what was done there by those
who did attend. The time to make

chief executive waited period OF
more than sixteen months and until a
political campaign was pending for the
sole purpose OF furthering his own
ambition and satisfying those who
have exerted an influence in the con-
duct .of his administration which was
dangerous to the welfare OF the people.
We approve the action OF the Repub-
lican members of the general assem-
bly, in making possible the admission
of the voters OF the state of con.
stitutional amendment for the initia-
tive and referendum There being a
diversity of opinion upon this question
among Republican voters OF the state.
we would consider it presumptuons for
MS to advise them in relation TO their
vote, for the matter has passed beyond
the influence of party declaration and
must be left to the conscience and
conviction of the individual voter re-
gardless OF party affiliations.

MORE COOPERATION.

Durango needs more cooperation
between the city and country districts
We should make the farmers and min
ers know that their prosperity depends
very largely on the prosperity of the
city. Durango is the hub of big
commercial wheel, the spokes and rim
OF which form the country districts
No part OF the wheel is complete with
out the rest.
I'VE have several hundred farmers
raising good crops near Durango and
only ten or fifteen had displays at the
recent fair. We should not hold the
control OF the fair In the city but
have a number Of farmers on the
board OF directors. and make every
farmer feel that 1t is his fair. A coun
ty fair is the farmers greatest annual
celebration. Today is the time to be
gin to arrange for next years fair
The horticulturists should cultivate
fertilixe, spray and prune their fruit
trees now II they wish to make the
best possible showing next year. Let
us cooperate with the farmers.

WHAT DURANGO

CONCENTRATED EFFORT.

We need definite understanding
about this railroad situation and we
should have concentrated effort from
our people to get an expression from
the Southern Pacific. It is not right
for that railroad to come in and ask
everything city can give and after
getting everything requested to go Off
crawl in hole and keep still. Some
consideration is due us. We need
more unity of action and concentration
Of effort from our residents. We
should bury our petty quarrels and
forget our personal animosities.

answer not being prompted by selfish
business aims. There are so many
''live ones" in this city. it will be hard
to select him. He declined to state
for what residents he would like
to buy floral wreaths or wear crepe.
We differ with his sentiment, how
ever. for those who are impeding the
progress of the city are dead ones,

probably not disturb or improve the

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 heve 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 tne
general adjustment OF all tax bur.
dens by a central commission or body,
to the end that the property of the
small taxpayers shall not be taxed al
a higher rate than that OF the large
taxpayers.
We recommend the adoption at the
November election of the proposed
Amendment of section of article XI
of the state constitution: Funding

lican party has always maintained a
high standard of commercial honor,
and the payment OF all honest obiiga-
tions OF the state and nation.

should be vested in the commission

preme and district court judges in off
years, to the end that the courts may
be the more removed from political

Favor Direct Primary.
We favor the principles of the direct
primary, and its enactment with such
securities as will tend to make popu-

whether that of corporations or of in
dividuals, in political affairs.
We endorse the acts of Senator ST.

COURT WON'T
DECIDE BETS
ON ELECTION

An action for the return of $50 de-
posted by w. Vida with Maxim as
part of stake depending on the re-
suit of the recent election for mayor
was decided in the police court by
District Magistrate Lymer.
Vida had made a bet with A. Jung
claus of $50 that Lane would win out
and the money was deposited with
Maxim. When the result of the cleo
ton was known Maxim paid the
money over, but later on Vida applied
for the return of his stake. District
Magistrate Lymer gave judgement for
defendant, stating that his view of the
law generally was that unless there
was some revocation of authority be-
forethe stakeholder paid over the
money, the man who made the bet had
no standing in law. 1t seemed to him
that a man who made bet and then
came into court and made it an issue
whether the election was finally de-
cided or not, was making the court a
party to the illegal transaction, and
was in fact asking the court to decide
whether A or B had won the bet. No
court would entertain such a prcpo
sition. On the evidence as. IT stood
before the court it appeared that Ma
kim had paid the money over before
being informed of any revocation Of
authority and the court was not go
ing to be a party to the transaction.
Attorney Mcbride appeared for the
plaintiff and argued that Maxim had
no right to pay over the money as the
election had not been finally decided
and he also urged that a party to
bet could withdraw before the election
was finally decided.

OFFER To HAVE
DOPE SMOKED

The case of Goo zee, who was
charged with having sold three tins
of opium to a Mr.. Rosenberg, was be-
fore Commissioner Davis yesterday.
District Attorney BrecKons was in
terrogated regarding the contents of
the tins. He said they were opium,
and then made a test, which he said
was sufficient to show him that the
tins contained opium or preparation
of opium. He offered to obtain some
one who would smoke it, but the COM
missioner thought that Mr.. Lightfoot,
who appeared for Goo zee. would be
quite satisfied.
Mr. Lightfoot said that he was.
Goo zee was bound over to take
his trial, and the bond was set at
$1,000.
District Attorney Ereckons said
that he was quite prepared to accept
the same bondsmen as before.

PAY NATIONAL
GUARDSMEN

WASHINGTON, December ia
bill d far-reaching interest, affecting
in a great measure the effectiveness
of the national guard in every State
and Territory in the United States,
was introduced in the senate yester-
day by Senator Bots Penrose of Penn
sylvania, providing for the payment to
all members of the national guard who
attend at least forty eight drills a
year a sum equal to twenty per
cent of the pay of a soldier in the
regular army.
Should this bill pass, and the SEN
timent among all classes of the legis-
lators at the National Capital seems
in favor of the bill, it will mean, ac-
cording to the advocates of the bill,
added efficiency in the national guard,
more interest by the enlisted guards
men and an increased enrolment

men and officers on the rosters of the

estimated that while the proposed le-
gislntion will mean the expenditure
OF large sum yearly, the benefit 20
