At STATE CAPITAL
Gov ssnOr Shafroth Stin Playing
Politics at the Expense Of the
Taxpayers

Governor Shafroth says he trusts
the people of Colorado will not re-
fer or initiate very many laws to
be passed upon at the general cleo
ton one year from next fall. He
gives as his reason the claim that
the cost OF initiating and referring
laws under the present system of
advertising them in the newspapers
is too great He says. 1t will cost
approximately $3.50. 900 to properly
present the proposed referred and
initiated bills. therefore. he hopes
the people will withhold their ini-
tiation and referring of measures
until the constitution can be chang
ed so as to permit of the pubhca-
tion OF proposed statutes and con-
stitutional amendments In pamphlet
form.

we have the governor manipulating

When the committee on resolu-
lions reports To the Land Conveh-
tion with It's TRADE of abuse against
President Taft and the federal gov
ernment, IL should be remember
ed that a part of the success OF the
convention is due To the fact that
the money OF the state was 80
manipulated by Governor Shafroth
that Colorado was forced TO pay
a portion OF the expenses of pure
ly political gathering. while. at tho
same time the state institutions
and the state Developments con-
