The last assembly together with
Governor Shafroth transferred the
expenditure of the internal improve
ment fund and the internal income
fund upon the roads and bridges
of the state, from the various boards
of county commissioners and the
state engineer, to the highway COM
mission. The reason given for the
transfer was that the money had
been used for trading, or pork bar
rel purposes in the general assem-
bly,. In other words, that the con-
trolling political machine used these
funds with which to boost the mach
inc. Be that as it may, the people
of Colorado will watch the expendi-
ture of the amount by the highway
commission with more than ordinary
interest. Sure it is that if the COM
mission SO desires, it can use the
funds for the purpose of creating
a stronger machine than could ever
have been created in the assembly
AS it is, every county and every
legislative member who wants a dol
lar from this fund, for expenditure
on the roads and bridges of his
three men who constitute the state
highway commission before they can
receive one penny of the amount.
1t is not supposed that the commits
sion will control all this power with
out using it for the betterment of
someone politically. Neither is it
to be supposed that funds will be
given for the construction of roads
in any part of the state until after
the commission know what the poll
teal leaders in that part of the
state will do for them.
And who are the members of the
commission?
Shafroth appointees, holding their
positions under his domain.
1t is, therefore, reasonable to sup
pose that the money that was once
used for pork barrel purposes in
the assembly will now be used for
Shafroth advancement politically, by
the highway commission.
During the past two years the
commission did not show any great
amount of executive ability in the
money directly appropriated to it.
1t expended a total of $37 ,891.82. OF
|
one-fourth the entire amount ex-
pended, went for salaries and ex-
penses. There is no way of check
ing but the various county officials
throughout the state will know if
this is higher per cent than it cost
to expend the money under the old
system.
President Taft has made good his

hind the president in his fight for
reciprocity was Senator Guggenheim
Colorados lone representative in

Pres. Taft maintained throughout
his advocacy of the agreement that
after it had been given a fair and
impartial trial the many opponents
would be compelled to admit its
wisdom and benefits. This is the
first important step taken by the Re
publican party to carry out the reci-
procity policy advocated by such re-

stand upon it if he will. 1t Is less
susceptible to deterioration from

Two Hundred Vacancies in Un-
| Gle Sans Army.

Washington. July 2S.-Any young
man in the United States who has
attained the age Of % years. and
who is not over q, and who has am
billions to become a second lieute-
nant in the army, with the prospect
some day Of being a major-general.
will have chance to take an exami-
nation as to his fitness on Sept. 5.
There are 200 second lieutenancies
waiting for civilians, this, notwith-
standing the fact that some experts
declare the United States already
has enough military officers to COM
mand the German army. The civil
ian is welcomed into the army nova
days, not perhaps by the West Point.
ers. but by the government. The
West Point Academy-is helpless to
supply the demand for the young
officers.
The examination of Sept. will be
held at the military posts in the
United States, and the government
hopes to get 200 second lieutenants
as result. No pull or influence is
required. The physical and mental
examinations, however, will be rigid
and in the latter college graduates
naturally will have an advantage, al
though they will be given no prefer
ence. ...
The army has four sources of sup
ply from which it obtains officers
West Point, the ranks of enlisted
men, the various private military
academies of the country and the
civilian citizenship. A certain num-
Der of enlisted men are given CON-
missions each year, provided they
can pass the examination. Honor
graduates of military academies at
which an officer of the army is de-
tailed as an instructor are accepted
as second lieutenants without the
requirement of a mental examina-
ton. although they must pass the
regular physical tests. But when
all these sources have been exhaust
ed there still remain go places for
civilians this fall. Forty per cent Of
the army officers today did not have
a West Point training, and at the
rate of growth which now obtains
the non-West Pointers may be in a
majority in a few years.
