state and, of a tunnel through the
Continental Divide on the line OF the

The features of the bill, condensed,
are as follows:
The tunnel shall be driven at Toll

TO Arrow, the western portal. The

One appointee shall be an engineer

The Moffat road protects the state
il the issuance of the bonds with a
guarar ty of full and final payment
o. all bonds issued and all interest
accruing thereon and for the faithful
performance of all contracts by de-
posit with the tunnel commission of
first-class negotiable securities, or
bonds as collateral security, in an
amount equal to the said bond issue"
The obligation of establishing a
through line from Denver to Salt
Lake City may be discharged by
building branch from Orestod, the

CHARTER
{. {. Herr States Good
Reason Why People
Should Support It

Shall | vote FOR" or against" a
charter convention? is the question
now being asked by many voters in
Durango. The answer turns upon the
further question will commission gov
eminent cost more or less than the
present system? Let us compare the
two systems ana see.
Our city council estimates that our
present system will cost us $64,47O
this year. They propose to expend
the money as follows: $14,750 will be
used in paying the interest on our
water bonds; $4,000 will be paid for
the maintalnance OF the city library;
$4,650 for electric lights, and $l5,450
will go to pay the fixed salaries of the
20 city employees and officials. This
leaves a balance OF $27. l2O to be ex-
pended in any way that our city of
ficals may think best. Would you EN-
ploy 20 men to spend $27.12O year
in your private business? II not why
Is 1t necessary In city affairs?
Now let US see what we can do
with the same amount of money under
the commission system2
My theory OF what should be done
is this: | would have the cltys bus.
mess divided into three departments
and one commissioner in charge OF
each department One department
chief would nave charge oil the clty's
reservoir. pipe lines and sewers;
another would have charge of streets.
alleys. parks and the cemetery, and
the third commissioner who. would
be the mayor would have supervision
over the firemen and policemen, and
perform the duties OF city clerk, city
treasurer and police magistrate. and
also keep the books and make collec-
tions for the water department.
The salaries of these three men
would amount to $4,000, year. Now
let us see what 1t will cost to do the
same amount OF work under the old
system.

COLORADO
GETS PARK
Government to Create a
New National Park
Near PaIiSade

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Presi-
dent Taft is expected to designate a
Monument National park in Colorado
upon the report of special agent of
the land office sent there to investi-
gate.
The new reservation embraces a
tract of about 800 acres lying between
Palisade and Grand Junction, contain
ing the palisades and other peculiar
rock formations.
Representative Taylor took the
matter up with President Taft some
time ago and the secretary of the
interior. requested the general land Of
flee to send an agent there to in
vcstigate. A report is expected daily
and 1t is believed that 1t will be ia
vorable.
Congress once authorized Colorado
to take over the Fort Lewis lands.
After the state had failed to accept
this grant Mr.. Ballinger learned of
the coal value Of the property and
recommended a repeal of the law
which permitted Colorado to take the
lands. Congress did not act on this
recommendation and the Colorado leg
islature authorized the governor to
accept them. The purpose of the leg
islation proposed by Secretary Fisher,
Ia to have the coal underlying these
lands to remain the property of the
United States and to grant to Colo
RADIO the use Of the surface only.
