bill, and the daily report bill can
be charged directly against Gov
ernor Shafroth for he knew that
the Jealousy against State Treas
urer Kenehan would force the
reference of two of them and he
also knew that the common peO-
pie would refer the others, es-
pecially the teachers bills.
The initiative and referendum
is an expensive proposition. But
it was known it would be expen-
sive when it was adopted and it is
made more so when assemblies
like the Eighteenth, and when
governor like Governor Shafroth
fails to perform the duties they
promise.
With the ending of the time for
the filing of referendum petitions
all bills enacted by the last as
sembly that were not referred be-
came law. Among the most prom
inent that went into effect, there
is the antidrinking cup bill, which
prevents the use OF public drink
ing cups; the grasshopper bill,
which permits the establishment of
pest districts for the elimination
of pests, such as grass-hoppers,
etc, by the farmers; the law com
pelling the cutting weeds along
all rights-of-way and compelling
farmers to cut the weeds in the
roads that run by their farms;
the registration law, which pro
vides for registration in towns OF
5000 and over; the school election
law, which provides for registra-
ton before voting at school elec-
tions; the gun toting law which
prevents the carrying of guns.
In addition to these, there is
a law creating the State Court Of
Appeals, and also the law Great
ing the State Tax Commission.
Both of these laws provide that
the members shall be appointed
by the governor, except the state
treasurer assists in the appoint
ment of the tax commission.

cooper tion in advertising If new set

the almost boundless areas of arabic

Coupled with the pleasure over this
news is the fact that the Union Pa

Now we must get together in even

jdreds of thousands of persons who
will visit these land shows in search
of new homes to be told OF those nd-
vantages. 1t is up to the people OF
Colorado to do this. Let them send us
lecturers to these land sho rs, and we
will put before them crowds OF men
and women eager to hear OF opportuni'
ties to better themselves. We Will
have stereopticon and moving picture
machines in charge OF trained opera
tors. and these men will throw on the
screens the pictures provided by our
towns. With truthful array OF facts
and figures the men who make these
addresses cannot fail to draw thou
sands to Colorado.
Money Given viii Return.
The move to advertise Colorado is.
or should be, the primary business of
every man and woman who lives in
the state. 1t means dollars to them to
draw new people here. The merchant
will profit by the business he will re-
ceive from the new settlers. the farm
ers will profit by the increased values
of farm lands. due to the greater de-
mand and the larger crops that will be
grown under intensified methods. and
the laboring man will benefit by the
higher wages due to a greater demand
for his labor
For that reason all should do their
part toward paying the expenses of
the advertising If all will give what
they can to the commercial clubs or
the community heads of the towns.
