THROWING OFF THE MUD TAX.

Tax people and hear them howl
but use the tax for permanent i'm
provement and see their chests swell
with pride.
Whoever has heard of street i'm
provement within city that was not
opposed by a percentage of property
owners? Whoever has heard Of a
county road improvement that has
not been fought by some of those af-
fected? But-where is the city that
decries good streets! Where is the
county that would revert to mud high
ways! Where is the state that would
tear up macadam roads! A contem-
plated tax is like anticipating the
monthly household expenditures. II
looms like a mountain but spreads out
like a plain. After all q tax for a
definite purpose is money in the prop
erty-owner's pocket.
Imagine New Yorkers quitting with
a bond issue of $50, ,o00, 900 for good
roads! Instead Of saying we'll done,
they straightway voted an additional
$50. 900, 900, and thus lead the states
in highway improvement. Pennsyl-
vania looked on while her neighbor
builded. Now the citizens Of Penn
sylvania are to vote for $50 900 900
for similar improvement. California

THE STATE LEGISLATURES.

F'orty-eight state legislatures, more
or less, are now in session. Some
states have already passed through
the biennial ordeal and others have
it still in store, says the Kansas City
Journal But every two years there
are forty-eight gatherings of several
thousand legislators, in the aggregate,
assembled for the professed purpose
of legislating in behalf of all the
people. What happens? In pursu-
ance of this patriotic purpose regu-
lar biennial flood of partisan and
freak bills are introduced A few
excellent ard needed measures become
laws, but the proportion of the good
to the bad is absurdly small. Wholly
aside from the relatively few instances
of downright graft, the attitude of
most of the legislators is grotesquely
at variance with the real interests of
the people.
To remedy this manifest and mani
fold evil, various chimerical expedi-
ents have been suggested, such as the
recall, the initiative and referendum,
etc. 1t is as though man hired an
other to build house and then CON-
placently went his way, keeping no
tab" of any sort on the man he
hired, taking no interest in the job
for which he pays out good money!
using little care in the beginning to
find out whether the man he hired
was carpenter, blacksmith, vet
erinary surgeon or whatnot,
Then along comes somebody who
suggests that it would be good plan
to "fire" the hired man as to whose
qualifications so few inquiries were
made in the beginning. Or the sug-
Pestion is made that, after the iab
has been botched, it would be well to
''initiate" specifications or submit to
referendum" the plans which the
employing citizen did not lay before
the man he hired The analogy may
not fit all the details, but it is sub.
stantially accurate.
And the worst of it is that the peo-
Pile who elect many of these legisla-
tors elect them for the specific pur-
pose of enacting freak laws, and want
to recall them for not going far
enough in that direction. 1t is a sad
state of affairs, and would be alarm
| ing if there were not good reason for
believing that it is only temporary

had plenty Of obstructive legislation,
now let us have something that will
build up. The Herald commends the
spirit of Senator Vests remarks, al
though we doubt if his proposed meas
ure will or should pass, not having
gone into all its merits and demerits.
How much better to put stop to
harmful legislation and we are more
than pleased to have Senator West
in the senate to stand guard over
some of our interests.
In the face of injurious state legis-
lation we have national legislation oil
a harmful nature to Colorado INDUS
tries staring US in the face. We have
men in the United States senate and
lower house elected by minority vote
who say they are for their party FIRST
and state interests second.
We find farmers, business men and
the people generally pstitioning con-
gress on one hand not to pass in
furious legislation and also for the
Colorado general assembly to side
track freak legislation and go home.
1t is a condition brought about by
voters listening to the remedies ad-
vanced by politicians whose sole am
btion was political preferment. 1t
does seem about time that voters did
little thinking for themselves. Let
us take look at Denver. 1t is the
worst mixed up, fighting, snarling
mess in the whole country and the
effects are easily discernable. Poll
tics and political ambition is the
course of Denver today. This is the
statement of every one who visits that
city, and in fall campaigns we have
the same agencies at work for mem
bers of the general assembly which
not only cover Denver but reach OF
all ever the state. Fortunately. the
voters showed some regard for fitness
in selecting Ammons at the primaries,
otherwise we would be fettered hand
and foot, because the vote on Pearce
shows that any kind of yellow deg
would have been elected last fall with
three opposition tickets in the field.
1t is surely time TO call halt in
favor Of sane legislation. The Shaf-
roth panaceas have proved miserable
failures. In the words of Senator
West, let US have some "upbuilding
legislation" or let the general assem-
bly, adjourn as quickly as possible.

What is the matter with Colorado ?
This question is often asked and
some are at loss for an answer.
The Herald can tell you-too much
legislation.
Especially has this been the case
the past five or six years.
The Herald believes in progressive
legislation and the enactment of bene-
fetal laws, but the real business in
terests of the state have suffered in
order that personal ambition of
greedy politicians might be attained,
by trying to make it appear that cor
porations and vested interests were
running the state and Governor Shat
roth and his ilk traversed the state
giving out panaceas that would prove
the salvation of the people.
What is the result-Colorado has
gone backwards. True, the popula-
tion has slightly increase, but we have
not the genuine prosperity of years
ago, not the prosperity less favored
states are enjoying. This is a sad
admission but truth is far better than
faulty excuses. Governor Shafroth
had all sorts of remedies and he was
so bent on putting them into force
that ne called an extra session of the
legislature at an expense of over one
hundred thousand dollars, thus rob-
bing the educational institutions of
the state. In his closing address to
the legislature the 18th of January
Governor Shafroth enumerated some
thirty-odd platform measures or ''par-
amount laws" that had been enacted
for the benefit of the people. Be-
fore Shafroth and his panaceas came
into existence Colorado was enjoying
fairly good times. All state institu-
tions were moving along in good shape
and when Governor Buchtel retired
from office four years ago he left all
debts paid and surplus of nearly
half million dollars in the treas
ury. In the last four years we have
had all sorts of laws enacted and in
addition to the expenditure of the sur
plus funds the state is practically
bankrupt with educational institutions
receiving only so per cent of their
just appropriations. The general con-
dition of the people is not as good.
Now we have another platform or
paramount" legislature in session and
we find members introducing some
seventy-eight measures looking to
control of or regulating railroads.
This is mentioned as a sample of the
kind of bills the general assembly is
guibbling over. The retrenchment
policy of Governor Ammons made nec-
essary by the extravaganza of the
Shafroth regime has been advertised
throughout the land, showing that
Colorado is in bad shape. Again, it
has gone forth that the business in
terests of the state, led by Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo, have
waited on the general assembly pray
ing the passage of a few necessary ap-
preparation bills and early adjourn
ment before harmful and freak leg
islation is enacted. 1t is a sad condi-
tion when this becomes necessary, but
with panaceas galore the past four
years and conditions getting worse can
the general people be blamed for pro-
testing against additional legislation
