STATEWIDE LIQUOR FIGHT
COMING AGAIN NEXT YEAR
Anti-Saloon League Head Says
Issue will be Launched at
General Election.

F'oRr CoLLias, Colo, Nov 3o.The
Rev. A. j.. Finch of Denver, president
Of the Colorado Anti Saloon league, an
nonnced here today the fight for state
VIDE prohibition would be taken up at
the next general election.
He spoke al the First Presbyterian
church. He said the defeat last year
by 10000 minority was due to lack
OF cooperation between the Anti-Saloon
league and the state w. C. I. IT,, the
expenditure Of sl50.00o by the saloon
people, tho perfect organization of their
forces and lack OF any organization on
tho part Of the anti saloon people.
at was thought until recently that
no further fight should be made" he
said. but MS both the w. G. T. U. and
leading state church organizations have
voted their support to the Anti Saloon
league, il has been decided to make an.
other attempt"

Kindel is the Right Man.

The action of the Commercial associa-
ton iu endorsing George Kindel for a
position on the Interstate Commerce
commission is worthy the support of
every citizen. Colorado is more vitally
interested in the freight rate problem
than any other western state and Kindel
is the man 10 represent this state on the
commission. There is probably no other
man in the West 50 well versed in freight
and parcels post rates as is Mr.. Kindel.
He bias made il his life work and is a
fighter from the word go With Kindel
on the commission Colorado manrfac-
tnrers might KAYE a fair chance to com
pete with firms further east. 1t is hoped
That other towns in the state will take
up the plan and that by united effort
Mr. kindel will be given the appoint
ment. Boulder News.

Colorado Good Roads Assn.

The fourth annual convention OF the
Colorado Good Roads association will lie
held at Colorado Springs, January 10
and lG, 1914. For this meeting the rail
roads have been asked, and will prob
nily graut rate of one fare for the
round trip from all state points.
The convention will be the most i'm
pattant ever held in this state. This il
because Colorado is now facing the prob
lem OF devising some means Of insuring
the continuation OF its system OF state
aid for road building After January l.,
1918, the fnnd available for state aid to
the counties is less than $1,000 per
county, This is insufficient to carry on
the work as now outlined and under
way. Unless something is done during
the coming year, to furnish the proper
financial aid to continue road work in
Colorado no measure can be enacted for
this purpose which would become effect
i've before 1918.
1 has been proposed that bill pro-
viding for half mill levy for road build
ing purposes be minated. Such meas
ure is favored in many of the counties
of the state, and the southern counties
of Colorado at recent convention in
Pueblo passed resolutions asking the
Colorado Good Roads association to take
up this question. This matter will be
thoroughly discussed at tho Colorado
Springs convention, and on the decision
Of that gathering depends the future
action'to be taken.

THE federal grand jury which
has been in session at Pueblo re-
turned about twenty-five indict-
ments against United Mine Work
ers officials who have been con-
cerned in the Colorado coal strike.
Nothing was done with the mine
owners combination who have
put an exorbitant price on coal or
for their utter disregard of the
laws in the management of their
mines. They are immune.
The Elbert County tribune., 1913-12-05

WHETHER it was intentional or
otherwise still it is no less fact
that the report submitted by the
accountants to the governor as
to the average wage of the coal
miner is very misleading, to say
the least. They put the average
wage at $4 per day, but did not
state for what length of time that
included. The truth of the mat
ter is that if they had made their
investigation to include whole
year, and not some extra busy
month, they would have found
that the very best any of them
average is little over So per
day for nine hours and less than
SO for eight hours work.

PLEA FOR EMPLOYEES

Retiring Commissioner Moore
Also Points to Needs of Pat

| Pleas for an increase in salary for the
examining corps Of the patent Office and
for a new building to house this branch
Of the government service and tribute
to the employees who were under him
while in ONCE are written In the annual
report OF retiring Commissioner Edward
b. Moore OF the patent Office.
The present insanitary conditions under
which the employees of that office work.
said Commissioner Moore, detracts con-
siderably from their efficiency. they are
forced to perform their duties in crowded
rooms, around musty files and under ar
tificial light
/ Il can not too strongly urge the neces-
sity for new patent Office building he
continues, Gin view of the fact that the
priceless records and archives Of the Of
flee. representing all that has been &C
complished in the field of invention for
the last century, are daily exposed to de-
struction by fire or the ravages Of other
destroying agents.
| Tho patent office has long since out
grown its present quarters. and in its
present overcrowded and insanitary con-
dition is not calculated to inspire or en-
! courage In its employees the best or the
| most efficient work. The desks are too
close together in many Of the rooms. and
the necessity Of working under artificial
/ light and among dusty files reduces the
average OF efficiency among the employees
| and puts the office at a disadvantage in
| that respect.
| Recommends Independent Bureau.
| Commissioner Moore also recommends
that the office be made an Independent
bureau. After declaring that the ex-
amining force had been welded into a
highly efficient and well trained body of
men. whose work Is credit to the patent
Office he continued: I'm my opinion. 1t
is highly desirable that further increase
of a substantial nature be made in the
| salaries of the examiners"
| AS final tribute to the force under
| him, Mr.. Moore says, Il wish to express
my profound appreciation Of the hearty
by the employees of this bureau. What
ever / may have been permitted to ac-
cOmplish for the benefit Of the service
during that period was made possible by
the excellent support of my associates
and harmonious efforts of each and every
one of those who shared in my response
bilities."
