New Court OF Appeals.

,Denver.-The Court OF Appeals, pro
vided for by an act Of the last Legis-
lature. took office with Tully Scott
US presiding officer. The Supreme
Court made formal order transferring
the cases on appeal which. under the
act, are to go TO the new court for
decision. This does not mean, how
ever. that the higher court recog-
nizes that validity OF the new court.
it was the preliminary step to permit
u test being made OF the validity Of
the court The main issue Is whether
the membership can transact business
until the State Senate has confirmed
the executive nominations. The Colo.
RADIO Association and probably the
Denver Bar Association will join In
having a test case submitted TO the
Supreme Court. A suit in quo war
ranto will be filed by Denver attor-
ney.

Important Conspiracy Decision.

Directors of the sugar trust, indicted
for conspiracy to violate the antitrust
law, made pleading of limitation on
the ground that more than three years
had elapsed since the conspiracy was
entered into. The lower courts sus.
tanned their contention, but the Su.
preme court of the United States has
just handed down decision to the
effect that the statutes Of limitation do
not run in a conspiracy case 30 long
as the conspiracy operates. The high

was not called upon to decide as to
whether conspiracy had been in op-

Failure Not Possible.

It may be that the Democrats will
have a good deal to learn. but we see
no reason whatever to predict failure
for them. We do not think that the
country looks for failure. On the con-
trary, 1t expects honest Intelligent,
efficient and faithful service. Those
narrow-minded Republicans and
there are decidedly fewer of these
than there used to ,be-7who think that
the Democratic party is bound to fail
simply because 1t Is the Democratic
party, would do well to remember that
about one-half the life Of the nation
has been passed under Democratic rule,
and well passed. One extremely good
sign is to be found in the fact that
the mere prospect of power and re-
sponsibility has sobered the Demo
cratic party and its leaders, nor is it
the only favorable omen. Many men
Of ability have come to the front in
the last few years, and the party
spirit has acquired new and better
spirit. Taking everything into con-
sideration, we are disposed to agree
with Mr.. Clark. As the prospective
speaker Of the new house Of repre-
sentatives he comes certainly as near
as any one to being party leader.
As his influence is to be SO great the
country may as well congratulate
itself on his high character, and also
on the fact that he has never been
known as the friend of the interests
Under his leadership the house ought
to make good record. The oppor.
tunity. as we have said, is great
There is no reason to believe that II
will be thrown away. We trust that
1t may be improved to the uttermost

Tho states and Water Power


Secretary Ballinger points out in
his annual report that, upon the l.
100000 acres covering water power
sites withdrawn from the public do
main in the west, the states which
contain the sites own the waters in
the streams. They exercise. too. the
police powers that are necessary to
supervise and control the public serv-
ice corporations which would develop
electrical energy from the streams.
The federal government, which has
always held the public domain in
trust for the states. now denies its
trust and asserts ownership of the
sites. The western states are dishon-
est or weak, they cannot be relied
upon to administer properly fresh
grants of the national resources to
their citizens. In federal eyes all the
states, In fact, are dishonest or weak.
The states, concededly, have the po-
lice powers and the water. The gov.
eminent at Washington lacks both.
but withholds the sites, and asks the
states to give up what they have. on
the ground of their unworthiness. It
As a very pretty quarrel as 1t stands.
Meanwhile, a means of great wealth
to the people is locked up.

TRUTH ABOUT WOOL TARIFF
Its Effect on Industry and on the Pro
duction Of This Absolute Ne.
cessity.

The duties on wool and on wooden
contention for nearly hundred years.
The production of wooden cloth in this
country was entirely a household in
dustry until the early part of the
nineteenth century. There Is record
of the fulling mills and carding mills
in operation at an earlier time, but
mill spinning and weaving appear to
have had their beginning about 1910.
The war of 1912 greatly stimulated
the industry, and the value of mill
products in 1915 has been estimated
or guessed as SIS, 100000 The restora-
ton of trade relations with England
brought the American mill product
into sharp competition with British
woolens. The tariff of 1916 imposed
a duty of "25 per cent. for three yeats,
and 20 per cent. thereafter" Under
that tariff raw wool was subject to q
duty of 10 per cent, as an "unenumer-
ated" article. For the greater part
of the time since that year both wool
and woolens have been dutiable.
The theory that protection stipau-
lates domestic industry does not seem
to be we'll supported by the recent his
tory of raw wool production. The
decade 1890 to 1900 must be disre-
garded because Of the changes made
by the Mckinley bill Of 1890, the Will
son-Gorman bill of 1894, and the Ding
ley bill of 1897. The estimates Of the
department Of agriculture for the
years 1880 to 1889 inclusive, show an
average yearly wool clip Of 276.000,-
900 pounds. The estimates Of the Ma
tional Association of Wool Manufac-
turers show the clip for the years
1900 to 1910 inclusive as averaging
302.O00,000 pounds. That is, under a
protection regarded by many as UNI
reasonable and exorbitant there has
been only a ten per cent. increase in
production in 20 years. In the same
time the American requirement has
increased from an average Of 1858 ,000.-
600 to an average Of 4S0,000,000
pounds. The present requirement is
about 325.000,000 pounds. From 1880
to 1889 the focks of this country sup
piled about three-quarters of the wool
needed. whereas they now furnish only
q little more than one-half Domestic
consumption, having increased 60 per
cent in ten years. domestic supply
has increased only about ten per cent
and imports have increased 95 per
cent The ad valorem rate on the to.
tai raw wool importation is about 40
per cent. Even with that liberal pro
lection the premium on production has
been insufficient to act as stimulus
to sheep raising.
