U1hdt People Think

From Tuesdays Daily.
1t is always interesting TO know
what other people think about local
affairs. It's instructive and helpful
The Record likes to have people write
letters In on any subject OF general
interest. Any mans point OF view Is
limited and even professional news
paper man may overlook a thing or
two. We really want the opinions Of
others. Write briefly and sign yopr

The following opinions were not
sent in, but were incidentally mention
ed at different times recently to The
Record man in ordinary conversa-
ton. They show however. that many
people are thinking about the welfare

Just what we would like TO have from
hundred subscribers.
On the Ditch Lire.
A. r. Livingston says he thinks
something should be done to get peo-
pie to take better care OF the ditch
banks and street front He thinks
that would have as much to do with
beautifying the town as anything else.
Many people let the ditch banks and
street front grow up in wilderness
of weeds. Just a little care would
keep the weeds down and add greatly
to the appearance OF the whole town.
Mr.. Livingston lives in the oRhlman
property on Greenwood avenue. He
keeps his front as clean as a billiard
table and he does it himself. He says
1t requires only a few hours a year.
He began by digging out the alfalfa
roots then put the salt from the ice
cream freezer on the ground. He has
the strip well sanded and II is now
kept clean with very little effort
The Commissioners Plan.
Henry Harrison favors the commits
sion plan for Canon City. He says
three commissioners and a mayor
paid to look after the interests of the
town ought TO It better than nine men
who do not get enough pay to justi-
fy spending very much time for the
town. He thinks the tendency where
there are SO many on the board is TO
leave important matters to the other
fellow and when all do this there is
apt TO be some neglect somewhere.
In the commission form the response
bilities are pretty well divided up and
the man who has something in charge
will do il. or the blame can be put
right where 1t belongs

ARE CANON NSUR-
ANCE MEN WATCHING
OUR INTERESTS?
The Town Is Being Quiet1y Re-Rated
BY The Insurance Companies. There
Is Danger Of Increased Rates All
Along The Line.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
For several weeks strangers have
been going over the town re-rating II
for insurance rates. No notice seems
to have been taken of them by any
body and the re-rating will probably
be done in the interest of the insur-
ance companies that are always look
ing for any excuse possible to raise
the rates
1t might be well for the insurance
men of Canon City to get together and
look into the matter. The merchants
and property owners are practically
at the mercy of the insurance COM
panies. The companies are in a
strong combination and they can US
ually do about as they please.
The local agents represent the peo-
pie who are their clients as well as
the companies and they should look
after the peoples interest
The time to do something is before
the new rates are established and not
afterward. So far we have not heard
of any interest in the matter.
Not long ago Grand Junction was
re-rated-
The following regarding the mat
ter is taken from the Grand Junction
Sentinel of July Sth- It shows what
happened in Grand Junction:
For the past month or more num-
ber OF those who have had insurance
expire on town property. especially
in the business section. have been
greatly surprised by the extra cost
OF the premiums that they have been
compelled to pay.
The insurance that is now in vogue
in this city is computed under what
is known as the Dean schedule. an
entirely new and original plan OF
rating The principal basis OF rating
is the amount, of floor space. the risk
as to fire and the moral risk not be-
ing taken much into consideration.
'-one large building had its rates
raised so high that the owners threat
ened to carry its own insurance or
secure non-board insurance. by that
is meant insurance in those compan-
ies which do not belong to the state
underwriters.

DEBT TO COLORADO SCHOOLS
is A DEBT OF Homer
CFrom Boulder Camera

Hon olney Newell places us and
all frineds OF education under obliga-
tions to him for endorsement OF the
plans of the Colorado Teachers asso-
citation. as outlined by Prof. W. w.
Remington. its able secretary. Mr..
Newell writes as follows:
The schools of the state are given
by virtue of the enabling act, certain
sections of land, the proceeds from
the sale of which must go into the
state school fund and be used for the
schools OF the state. This fund by
constitutional provision. must remain
inviolate. the interest only being used
and the principal being allowed to ac-
cumulate as an endowment fund.
During the years of 1sTT-S-s the
principal sum realized from the sale
OF school lands was invested, in part,
in state warrants. issued for salaries
OF state officials. This action was In
accordance with the law, as the war
rants are interesting-bearing.
Owing to the fact that when Colo
rado became state she inherited
from the territory load OF debts
II became the custom for the treasurer
to pay warrants In the order OF their
numbering. the Oldest being the first
to be paid and the available moneys
each year being used for the purpose
OF paying off the old warrants.
The warrants issued each year were
then taken up as investments and
held until they were paid in numer-
ical order Under this system tho
schools became the owners OF sl55.-
54s worth OF state warrants. all bear

Not dollar OF that can be forci-
bly, collected from the state. for the

officials are not to be blamed as their
investment was authorized by law;
nor are the state officials of that time
to be blamed.

Time and again the question has
been submitted TO the people. but the
truth has never been advertised and
consequently the voters were not en-
abled to act intelligently. The
trouble has not been in securing an
affirmative vote but in securing any
vote at all. The people. gnorant OF

ment. refused to vote either for or

The Teachers association pro-
poses this year to make the matter
plain to everybody, with the hope
that thorough understanding will
lead to the adoption of the constitu-
ton. We believe that there will b

ton is thoroughly understood.

appropriation He said that there were
five places. aggregating less than q
half miles, where picks and shovels
would be used to build the road and
that grader could be used for the
remainder. Eight or nine culverts
will be installed. but they can be put
in at comparatively small expense.
The road will be sixteen feet in width
and there will be an effort made to
complete 1t by August LIST. 1t is be-
lieved that the county road. now being
being built by prison labor from Priest

the current month, the effort being
to get the whole road opened by that
time. thereby making the Top Of the
Royal Gorge accessible this year to
tourists by horse. drawn carriages. or
by automobiles.
The opening Of this much talked OF
road will bring one Of the greatest

He thinks If If these churches would
plant out some grass in the bare spots
in front of the properties and keep
the bitches clean it would help ap--
pearances wonderfully. He calls at
tention to the Christ Episcopal church

Dead Cows in the River.
w. H. Murray was down from Park
dale the other day. He says Canon
City should organize some sort of pa
troll to keep dead carcases out of the
river. He says there are many dead
cows in the river and in small streams
which flow directly into the river or
course Canon City could not pass any
ordinances that would be effective
outside of the city limits but it might
arrange for a systematic patrol of the
river for some distance. He says you
can see these carcasses from the car
window not a dozen miles from the
intake of the city water works.
About Ninth Street.
w. B. Rowland says he thinks the
officials OF both Canon City and
South Canon should do something to
improve the condition of the Ninth
street near the river bridge. This is
about the most Travelled street in the
city. yet it is inworse condition than
any county road. The distance that
needs improvement is not great and
the expense would not be large, in
proportion to benefit and satisfaction
given to the many who use this street.
