petition. This is certainly vicious
provision and there are several others
on the same lines. This driving new
capital away from the state is a tough
proposition but it is what many of
the present members of the general
assembly are trying to do. In the
face of this we occasionally find news
papers commencing the measure that
do not understand single provision
of the bill, and this is also true of
curbstone politicians who pay little in
way of taxes and live by endeavor-
ing to fool the voters.

The great trouble with irrigation
projects is that it costs farmers in
most instances two dollars for every
dollar actually spent in obtaining wa
ter. Irrigation promoters take the
big slice and then irrigation bonds
are sold at reduced price. If the
owners of land would club in and do
the work themselves they would not
find it half as expensive, because it
is safe bet that the real cost of
building reservoirs and laterals is not
over half, on an average, what the
farmers have to pay.

Denver News reports the Colorado
delegation as well pleased with the
selection OF Lane for secretary of the
interior. Taylor says: II understand
ne is broad-minded man" Bear in
mind the emphasis on the word under
stand. No one knows anything about
where Lane stands or where very few
of the remaining members of the cab
met stand. AS the News remarked
the other day, they will probably be
satisfied with the honor of being a
member without any individuality,
hence the new secretary will simply
be pawn around which Bryan and
Wilson will revolve.

AN UNPLEASANT SITUATION.

In another column we print a fl
nancial review of Colorado as a state
government 1t shows that bills re-
questing the appropriation of over
$10,000,000 are in the hands of the
finance committees, and that the avail
able revenue for the rest of the pres
ent biennial period is less than $2,000,-
900. The pay roll of the Shafroth
administration was within $4,000 of
every dollar in sight to run the pres
ent administration.
Such a situation is not pleasant
to contemplate 1t simply means that
something must be done or Colorado
must close her institutions. 1t also
means that Governor Shafroth during
the four years he was in office simply
stripped our treasury of everything in
the way of cash. Governor Ammons
is in no manner to blame for the
present situation. He is apparently
doing everything he can to relieve it.
There are three ways Of relieving
it. First, by reducing the mill levy
that can be assessed by county COM
missioners' on local property. This
would force an increase in the return
valuation of property, which, under
the 4-mill levy for state purposes,
would bring in an additional amount
of money. Second, all mill levy ap-
preparations for state institutions
could be repealed. This could give
the state institutions the money that
has already been collected under the
mill levy law, and would leave the
rest of mill levy to be collected for
expenditure of the money that would
necessarily go to that administra-
tion. The third way to overcome the
difficulty would be through consti-
tutional amendment increasing the
mill levy above the present mills on
the dollar which can be collected for
state purposes. This would not be
a popular move.
TO our mind, the best way is to limit
the mill levy that can be assessed
by the counties for county purposes.
This would compel the counties to
place higher valuations on their local
property. OF course, there will be
great objections to this form of in
creasing the state revenues. However,
something must be done or the state
institutions must close. We may as
well face the situation squarely as it
is. To be sure, we expect the present
Legislature to cut salaries at least so
per cent. By that we mean to lop
off needless boards and bureaus, to-
gether with stenographers, clerks and
deputies. Governor Shafroth has been
sent to the United States senate, the
state of Colorado paid the bill, and
there is no reason why those whom
he put on his pay roll for the pur-
pose of working for him need continue
in those positions.-Pueblo Chieftain.

Huerta is not having smooth sailing.
Several of the Mexican states are in
open rebellion and the assassin of Ma
dero and his relatives is in for more

Mexican revolt is going to continue

Uncle Sam will have to intervene or

the Mexicans kill each other off as

Grand Junction is planning to raise
an advertising fund of $4,000. This

The San Juan basin could not have

other way and received as much ad-
vertising. The $4,000 is for adver-
tising Grand valley fruit in order to
create a greater demand for it.

DOINGS OF THE DAY
IN NATIONS CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March H.
Eager congressman filed the waiting
room outside of Postmaster General
Burleson's office with smoke and chat
ter today, ostensibly to pay their re-
spects," but each carrying in his pock-
ct a little list of candidates for post
masterships. Already the most popu-
lar man in the Wilson cabinet, Burle-
son is feeling heavily the burden of
being the Official sitter" of candi-
dates. Within the next few months
he must determine on candidates to
fill $4,000 or more postmasterships,
big, little and medium sized.
The visiting congressman, political
powers and ''men from back home,
who Uttered the waiting rooms today
and chanted Democratic paeans of
triupmh were all of the true faith.
In the hundred or more who passed
their card to the weary secretary
within two hours, not one but avowed
himself an "original Wilson man."
The new postmaster general has
done little since taking his oath OF
office, except attend cabinet meetings
and greet visiting Democrats.
One of his biggest problems will
be placing the parcel post on firm
basis. 1t is still in an experimental
stage.

they shall punish the Chicago mer-

profits. Lieutenant Governor O'Hara

THE employers who saw no con-

titution have elastic consciences or no
consclences. 1t is up to them to re-
deem their regulations by raising the
wages of all girls to So weekly, the
minimum they themselves fixed.
Some of the employers claim credit
for philanthropy in forming benevo-
lent associations. As matter of fact
these associations were supported by
the earnings of the girls, who must
pay dues or suffer discharge. The
committee has torn the mask off the
philanthropy from some millionaire
donners to charity institutions"

wages to women and girls. One of
the men owning the three biggest de-
partment stores, where the girls are
paid from $3.50 to $40 weekly, swag-
gers around saying he is going to
spend millions to stop white slavery
