Good Road. legislation.

The question OF good reads will
form great part of the discussion
by political orators during the next
campaign. The last assembly took a
decided forward stand and, in fact,
what many claim is too much for
ward" The intent Of the assembly
was to provide for aniexpenditure on
the roads OF Colorado during the next
ten years OF over thirty-one million
dollars. The amount to be secured
from the internal improvement fund
and from county and state bonded
Indebtedness. The greater part OF
the intended amount must be passed
upon by the people as constitutional
amendments.
The manner Of providing for the
thirty-one million dollars expenditure
was as follows:
First, $227,0O0 In the internal i'm.
proremen. fund is turned over to the
highway commission through the law
giving this fund to that commission
and the vetoing by the governor Of
all road and bridge bills.
Second. the Stephan constitution
al amendment provides for bond
issue by the state of ten million
dollars. the proceeds to be used for
the construction OF good roads under
the direction of the state highway
commission
A second constitutional amendment
was submitted. which II adopted. will
allow each county TO issue bonds
to the amount OF five per cent Of
the total valuation OF its property.
these bonds to be sold and the pro-
ceeds to be for the construction OF
reads. The qualified voters Of each
county vote on the proposed issue
The valuation of the property of the
state this year is little over si20.-
oo0. 900. Five per cent of this sum
is s2i .ooo.0 900
The following is the text of the
constitutional amendment which pro-
yidCs that the counties by popular
vote may eXpend five per cent OF
their valuation on roads and bridges.

of these minerals are readily soluble
and are not to be found n "outcrops,"
like ordinary rocks. the mission Of the
survey is not an easy one. Neverthe-
less, IT is believed that the geologic
conditions prevailing throughout

OF these salts. and that If these still
exist IN concentrated deposits 1t is
only a question of search to discover
them. Hardly anything could be sug

automobiles are combining to obli-
terate the lonely backwoods. for in
time the horseless carriages will
bring the daily papers to us in the
carly hours OF the day and worry us
with the news of politics and cussed-
ness of the busy world. and they Will
bring the city folks who will intro
duce among the backwoodsmen their
wives and daughters, city airs and
city styles and fashions. and then
what's going to become OF the aban-
don. the partial ignorance. the COM
fort and the joys of backwoods life?
Well, the same automobiles will carry
back to the city the backwoodsmen's
bla legged peas and sweet potatoes
and fresh butterinilk and chickens. and
maybe they will also carry the back
woodsman's recipe for making chicken
pie and apple dumplings. and SO while
tho horrid automobiles will be bring
city news and other things. they Will
also be carrying back to the city some
good things and some good Ideas from
the backwoods. and the city will be
the galner by the deal, especially il
the city dyspeptcs are wise enough
to adopt some OF the backwoods ideas.
Anyhow. hurrah for good roads,
they are good things "gwine and com

coming reconciled to them and are
