ton of the Colorado Good Roads asso-
citation and the County Commissioners
association in Denver on Tuesday the
initiated highway commission bill was
indorsed with but one delegate -Hollen-

negative, and it was decided to at once
begin publicity campaign to explain the
measure.
The question of the legality OF the bill
was taken up and on motion it was de-
cided-if the Initiated bill passes--to ask
the next legislature to enact measure
identical with it so that there will be nc
question as to the proper distribution oi
the funds.
The pork barrel" system by which the
internal improvement fund has beer
distributed was condemned in no uncer-
tain terms and the joint associations
propose to provide against such system
in future.

Mrs. Helen NJ. Wilson has served
one term as State Superintendent OF
Public Instruction. She received the
unanimous endorsement OF her party
for second term. During the two

Rocky Ford enterprise., 1912-10-18

why trifie with the prosperity we are
enjoying at the present time?" is the
question he is asking the people.
The government has been so good
during the past score OF years that the
average people don't realize that they are
indebted to the government for the pres
ent era OF long continued prosperity" de-
clared Mr.. Dawson. In fact the average
citizen is enjoying so much prosperity that
he has almost forgotten his duty as an
American citizen. Coed things have made
him careless.
The Republican party has given the
country legislation that made present day
conditions-mace us a country that IS
known to the entire world as land where
man is free to strive and succeed.
No state in the nation is more depend
ant upon protective tariff than is Colo
rado. 1t has been more than fifteen years
since we suffered the effect of Demo-
| cratic tariff and there are few voters who
are rot able to remember that calamity.
There has grown up in this state in the
last ten years an industry that has taken
first rank among those of Coloraoo, and
that is the beet sugar industry. As years
go on this will become of still greater
Importance to the people of the state, if
protected.
In Colorado there are about seventeen
sugar factories which were erected at the
cost of more than S2O,OOO.OOO. This

FATAL ACCIDENT
AT LAMAR FACTORY
Rocky Ford Man Meets Death
From Scalding
DUDLEY ROE, MASTER
MACHANIC, THE VICTIM
With Three Other Employees Was
Caught Under Stream of Boiling
Hot Syrup from Diffusion Tank Z.

The first fatal accident that has
occurred for several years in any OF
the Arkansas Valley factories Of
the American Beet Sugar Co. took
place in the Lamar factory at Z
o'clock on Monday evening, and
the result was the severe injury
of four employees, one of whom
Dudley NJ. Roe, skilled work
man we'll and favorably known IN
this city-succumbed to his in
juries after about twenty-four
hours of intense agony.
From the meager information at
hand it seems that Master Mech
anlc Roe, with Assistant Superin-
tendent A. Reinke and Ed Ballin-
ger and John Oberg, machinists,
had been engaged in repairing a
diffusion tank in the factory, and
at the hour mentioned had finish
ed their labor and signaled a help
er that the repairs had been made,
and were standing by to see that
there was no leakage, when the
polling hot beet syrup came rush
ing into the battery and forced
out the gasket, flooding the four
men with the scalding fluid.
The steam from the escaping hot
syrup hid the men from view for
few moments, but in remark
ably short time fellow workm ell
were busily engaged i'll relieving
the men of the scalding sticky
mass with which they were en-
veloped, but not before all four
had been seriously scalded, Dudley
Roe being almost literally parboil-
ed.
In a very few minutes the men
were receiving all the relief that
medical skill could devise, but Mr..
Roe's injuries were beyond repair
and after a night and day of ter
rible agony he passed away. At
last report the other three,th ough
dangerously wounded, have good
chances for recovery, and it is
hoped that but one fatality will
mark the accident.
Until his promotion last fall to
the position of master mechanic at
theLamar factory, Dudley Roa had
been for several years employed
in the Rocky Ford factory, aud lie
was highly esteemed not only by
his fellow employees but by his
fraternal brothers, the Elks, OIL
dfellows, Woodmen and knights
and Ladies of Security, and in
fact the community at large, and
the heartfelt sympathy of every one
is extended to the heartbroken
widow and young son, the parents
and three brothers in their sud-
den aud sad afiiiction.
The remains were on Wednes-
day evening brought to the family
home on North Fifth street, where
they will remain until this { Fri
day. afternoon, when the funeral
will be held under the auspices OF
Rocky Ford Lodge No. 1147, B.P
o. Z.
Services will be conducted in
the Baptist church at 2 o'clock
and interment will be In Valley
View cemetery.
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1912-01-11
WILL WORE ZOE aoop or AL.

The Recorder is prepared to believe that the extra session of the
legislature will really accomplish what it is called fora fair revision
of the state revenue laws. There is one thing that perhaps it can
not do TO the satisfaction OF an ambitious state-make a lean purse buy
all the good things the state needs or at least believes it needs. The
Recorder does net fear any kind of legitimate debt, such as bonding
for improvements that are essential to health, or necessary business, or
the lowest possible rae OF interest are when the money is we'll expend-
ed for public utilities one of the very best assets the state can have. 1t
may be the shorest of all shortdghted policies to cut down the bond
limit for state, or county or municipality to the low limit that is pro-
posed by some of the legislative economists. When the state can br-
row money for one-half what. local money is loaned for, O for about
onethird what it is worth to most business men in their business, it
means to practically double the working capital OF the state to be able
borrow freely. This is one instance where the legislature, to judge
from the sentiments expressed by those who are framing laws, are not
pretty certain % agree for the general good.
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1912-01-11
A FAIR FIELD AND NO FAVOR.

The Recorder does not take seriously the claim of Candidates clag-
stone and Tweedy that Chairman Hoffman is using his position to drive
them CT any other particular candidates off the field.
1t is of course an axiom OF politics that too many candidates in a
contest, especially If some Of them are going to get sore whatever hap
pens, Will be a menace to any party. The ecorder pointed OF a few
weeks ago how probable it is that some enc is likely to be nominated
Is the real first choice Of not more than ten per cent Of the republican
party, Dr. about five per cent Of the total vote of the state. It would be
the very last thing On earth ha the Recorder would think Of, to at
tempt to curtail any mans privilege Of seeking any office he desires;
may Joy be with every one who desires office. great o small but i
is still just as true that an extraordinary number of candidates, with
the usual proportion of those who are looking for the worst Of it and
ready to honer, is a menace that every campaigner from the janitor
to the chairman should seek to abate in a legitimate manner. To go
into a campaign with a standard bearer originally favored by 50 small
4 percentage Of ones own party, is to start with the odds against one
1t is good political wisdom. and as coed personal friendship, to uge
that only these stay in the race who honestly have a chance. So
far as the Recorder knows and believes, this is the attitude of Chair
man Heitman; it is the attitude Of every rational politician, Of every
sincere personal friend of every candidate; and it goes with the PEG
pie Of Idaho.
