PRAISES THE new
COLORADO SPRINGS
CANGR CITY ROAD

The leading editoria! in last Sun
days issue of the Colorado Springs
Gazette, which was more than col
umn in length, was devoted to praise
of the new Colorado springs-canon
City highway, which it describes as
one of the most attractive and perma-
nent of its kind in the west In the
course of the comment the Gazette
says:
colorado Springs, Pueblo and Can
on City are at the apexes of an
equilateral triangle, and to go from
Colorado Springs to Canon City by
rail one must traverse two sides of the
triangle. The new automobile road
makes a short cut-it follows the other
side of the triangle and shortens the
distance almost one-half Everybody
interested in the subject OF good roads
is familiar. at least by reputation, with
the famous highways of Europe; es-
pecially those of France and Switzer-
land In the Colorado Springs Canon
City road we have a public highway
that loses nothing in comparison with
the best European roads. Its perfect
construction was made possible by the
use of convict labor. for otherwise, its
cost would have been prohibitive. Il
winds through a rough, mountainous
section of country where the grades
are steep and the curves are sharp,
but. Notwithstanding these difficulties,
it has been built as perfectly as a city
street
"The value of this road is much
greater than appears at first thought
Colorado Springs and Canon City are
separated by less than forty miles of
actual distance, but, hitherto. they
have been kept apart by the difficult
ties of communication. The journey by
rail is tiresome ride of more than
three hours with no compensating al
vantages in the way of scenic et-
tractiveness. The automobile trip on
ers such exceptional opportunities
that 1t is certain to become increasing
Iy popular with visitors. Already a
company has been formed to make
regular daily trips during the sum ner
season. The Royal Gorge and the Sky
line drive rank as scenic attractions
with any other features OF this region,
so the venture ought to be entirely
successful.
Switzerland subsists on the patron
age of its visitors, and there is no
doubt that intelligent effort devoted to
the building throughout Colorado OF
such splendid avenues of travel as the
new Colorado Springs-Canon City road
would soon result in the coming TO
this state of as many automobile par
ties as now visit Switzerland and the
Tyrol. An automobile trip from Colo
RADIO Springs to Canon City and return
over the new road can he made COM
fortsBly in one day with abundant
time for visiting the Royal Gorge and
other scenic points nearby, so It adds
one more to the list of attractions tor
tourists hereabouts."
w. B. Rowland with party OF
friends made an automobile trip from
the Antlers hotel in Colorado Springs
to Canon City over the new road last
Saturday afternoon in two hours and
nine minutes actual running time and
was not trying for record either.
For fifteen miles of the distance 1t was
raining and the mud materially inter-
fered with the progress of the ma
chine.

NEW SOURCE OF REVENUE.

d . x r.
Ia. There is a genius Of finance down In
the grand old commonwealth OF New
Jersey. He Ia agmembero of the!legtsla'
ture and asHjust introducedta bill
which is expected TO solve the finan'
clal problems of the State for all time
The new measure provides for a tax OF
81 a head on all cats within the con-
fines OF the commonwealth. Any man
'who is anywhere near a close observer
can realize at a glance the tremend'
GUS possibilities OF such a scheme, If
nl only takes time to observe condi'
tions IN his own nelghborhood.
rnc'rc is no neighborhood without
its full coterie of feline Carusos and
Tetrazzlnis, all of whom ure at present
untaxed. Any person who desires the
luxury Of "a cat or Two can enjoy 1t
without constituting ascent TO the pub
lie ,cffers. Out in Kansas one maniis
suing for divorce becauseh is wife
keeps seventy.five Of the night song
etefs. This Is prbbaOiy the maximum
number in any home, Other families
ere modest and seldom have more than
tcn Or twelve cats III their encourage
However. cats are plentiful. ANY
sleepy citizen who is awakened at 2
o'clock in the morning to- hurl a boot
jack or a set of Dickens works in the
general direction OF the back yard
fence can swear that there are at least
1900, rats right in his own'yard. Other
back yards are us literally blessed
and the supply of cats is one thing
that will never run out, 1t is a nat
ural resource which will never have
to be conserved by national legisla
ton. The cat tax ot$1 head should
be pushed for all tits worth.

BRITISH COAL STRIKE.

At the close Of last week there was
undoubtedly an expectant BELIEF
throughout Great Britain that the
British government had formulated
plans that would bring to speedy
conclusion the British coal mine
strike. The weekend cables all di.
rectet' attention to the authorized
statement that Mr.. Asqihth would
make an important Announcement on
Monday. The announcement, when it
came, however, merely indicated a
hopeful attitude on the part OF the
government without, apparently, hav-
ing in view any plan Of interference.
Now 1t seems to be. entirely a matter
OF guessing as to whether the strike
will last ten days or ten weeks.
The coal strike is of vast proper
tlons; 1t involves the entire British
Isles, and 1t is estimated that 1,OOO,-
900 of mine workers are concerned in
title mining tie.up. But the mining
deadlock has in addition paralyzed de-
pendent. industries to an extent that
has thrown, out Of employment 100000
workmen and work.women employed
in those Industries. Factories cannot
run without driving power and as
coal is the almost exclusive source OF
power in the British Islands, the strike
will, if 1t only continues long enough,
completely paralyze British industries,
The coal-carrying roads are sidetrack-
ing rolling stock, and one short.llne
road connecting with the ml:::ng re-
gions has closed down entirely.
In his statement on Monday the
British Premier remarked that Time
is vital to bring the two points of
view approximately together, and ]
leanont help believing that time. will
break the deadlock This suggestion
l,appare4tly,i hints at some pendtis
lplap, for settling the, trouble, concern
ling which the. government has intor-
nation. and which may possible have
been advanced by the government. In
previous speech Mr.. Asquitn favored
a minimum wage scale in the mining
industries, but denied on Monday that
he had said. as he was represented to
have said, that the granting OF min
imum wage in the coal trade would be
first step to the attainment Of a
minimum wage for all industries.
