have been known around legisla-
tive halls for session after ses-
sion, were omitted from the list
AT caucuses preceding the organ
ization the republicans decided to
allow the democrats to fight their
own battles and to not mix. Rep
resentative Skinner was elected
speaker and in a short address, he
said the session would be short be-
cause the members could not get
free passes upon which to visit
their homes. Also, because they
are on a fixed salary and can earn
just as much in 80 days as though
they stayed 60. The house is de-
idedly progressive while the SEN
ate is controlled by the stand

all legislation, will probably re-
suit in it's being so jumbled that
it will be difficult to enact good

that the principal fight will hinge
around the question of good roads
Governor Ammons has moved in
to the governors office and will be
there from now until he is inaug-
urated. Governor Shafroth uses

done in order to permit Mr. Am
mons to keep in close touch with
the legislature. The Inauguration
will be. Tuesday, January 14th, on
which date the first vote for United
States senator will be taken. This
vote will be taken by each house
and the next day they will meet
in joint session and vote together.

east that Representative Graham
of Illinois is to be the chairman OF

Governor Ammons takes this to
mean that the incoming national
administration is going to be op-
posed to western ideas on public
lands as Pinchot ever was. Gov
ernor Ammons states that he in
tends to head a vicious fight against
the making of Graham chairman

Opportunity and stock Growing

When the homesteader and the
doom of the range stock industry in
pre-emptor began filing on the
lands for farming purposes, the
Colorado was sounded. Every 100
acre tract filed at a water hole
destroyed the utility of thousands
acres for cattle ranging. Drinking
places were few and far between;
naturally the settler needed water
and picked his land where once the
ranging cattle had called for their
daily drink. Closer utility of the
land demanded their settlement by
the farmer; the cattle had to go.
Therein lies the cause for the
death of what in the early days of
the state was one of its greatest
industries. The cowman with his
cattle on a thousand hills had to
give way to the farmer; the farm
er found his land too valuable to
devote 1t to growing steers for
market. 1t is still too valuable,
much too valuable, that land at the
water hole. 1t raises too many tons
of alfalfa to the acre, too many of
sugar beets, too many bushels of

During a period of 63 years it per-
haps has cost the German people
as much in protective duties as it
cost in export bounties, total of
say 100000, but the entire
amount is more than repaid each
year in the increase of cereals and
live stock
Since adopting this fiscal policy
Germany has produced 54,OOO.OOO
tons of sugar, valued at $4,72O,-
100000, of which there has been
exported 100000 tons which has
drawn from the balance of the
world 900, and Germany
now exports sugar to the value of
100000 a year. Having be-
come the greatest sugar producer in
the world, Germany, more than any
other country, dominates the world
price of sugar. The result of the
European beet sugar production
which now constitutes one-half of
the worlds supply, has so lowered
the price of sugar that based on
Magdeburg quotations. the present
annual sugar requirements of the
German Empire cost the German
people s2OO.OO0.OO0 less than the
same amount of sugar could have
been purchased for In 1855, thus con.
stituting a saving which in itself
repays every four years the entire
expense of establishing the indus

The era of the utility of the
semi-arid lands, their perhaps ul-
innate destiny, has not yet been

But that means the steady accumu-
alton of herds from a small be-
ginning, and the time elapsed since
the settlement of the lands has not
been sufficient. The rehabilitation
of the cattle breeding and grow
ing industry in Ahe state must come
largely from this direction. These
dry farmers and such settlers in
mountain valleys as can command
wide areas of range land along with
a water supply in attitudes insult
ed to growing grains and vegetables
will in time restore the herds to
something near their one-time size.
but the irrigable lands have been
lost to stock growing for all time.
That great opportunities are pre-.
sented the patient and farseeing
in this direction cannot be denied
The world is short of meat; the
high prices of recent years have
operated to reduce the herds in a
really alarming degree. There is
money to be made in preparing to
meet the yet heavier demand which
the cities will be making for beef
and mutton as the years go by. and
a thousand available places for meet
ing the increasing demand are pre-
sented by the plains and mountain
valleys of the state. The coming
stock show should prove an inspir-
alton to every man who is seeking
an opening in the state.-Denver

A Belated Cry.

We agree with Governor elect
Ammons in his general demand that
the national administration recog-
nize the rights of the west in The
final disposition of the public do
main question. We will support
him in his efforts to compel such
recognition. and will do all we
can to secure such an administra-
ton of public Affairs SO far as nat
ural resources are concerned as
will give to the great west that
to which she is entitled.
However. We would like to call
the attention of Governor-elect Am
mons and the other democrats who
are now fighting the outlined pol
elect Wilson indicated in his Col
orado visit that he would do just
what is now being proposed. 1t is
true that in Colorado Springs he de-
livered a speech which might have
been taken to mean that he thor
rughiy lelieved that the resources
of the west belong to the people
of the west. But it is equally true
that when he found out what in
terpretation was being placed on
his Colorado Springs speech he went
out of his way in Denver to cor
rect that meaning and to say that
the resources of the west should
not be controlled by trusts in the
west to the financial advancement
of the individual members of those
trusts This on its face did not
mean anything. But it meant to
those who heard that the west
would get nothing If the east could
prevent 1t. The east, President
elect Wilson included, has always
maintained that the people of the
west were illegally securing control
of the natural resources of the
west. Whenever the matter has
been mentioned the one claim of the
eastern people has been this mon
opoly by western people. In large
measure it is a bug-a-boo, but
nevertheless Mr.. Wilson had it in
mind when he made the statement,
and we predicted just what is now
planned the second day after Mr.
Wilson was here. We wonder why
Governor-elect Ammons and the
other democratic candidates. espec-
tally those who were candidates for
congress, did not attack Mr.. Will
son on his Denver conservation
speech. If they knew anything,
they knew what his policy would
| be. We cannot help but wonder
If the fact that the national COM
mittee gave their candidates from
81 900 to $4,000 each is their real
reason for not starting this cam
paign sooner-Pueblo Chieftain-

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES NAM
Coed Roads Association to Prepare
Bills for Consideration of
Assembly

Denver, Jan. 5.-Announcement
president of the Colorado Good
Roads association, of the appoint
ment of a special legislative commit.
tee to prepare measures which will
be submitted to the third annual
approval before being presented to
convention of the association for
the general assembly. The chair
man of this committee is Thomas
J. Ehrhart of Chaffe county, a
former member of the state SEN
ate and one of the most enthusiasts
tic and best posted good roads men
in the state. The other members
of the committee are:
J. W. Deane, Pitkin county; A.
l.. Roberts, Delta county NJ. c.
Ramsey, Mesa county; Austin Cav
in. Garfield county; Louis Wyman.
San Juan county: W. w. Wilson,
Rio Grande county; L. J. Mcmahon,
Las Animas county; S G. Porter.
Prowers county; l.. Z. Curtis, FL
Paso county; DR.. F. w. Buck, Kit
Carson county; Finley Dye. Sedg-
wick county; Alfred Lamhorn, Lar
inner comfy; w. S. Henderson, Nor
gan county Lew Wallace, Grand
county; E. l.. Regennitter. Clear
Creek county; G. p. Link, Park
county; +. E. Sommers, Denver
county. and also the members of
the state highway commission.
One of the measures to be con-
sidered by the committee will be the
proposed law turning over the in
ternal improvement funds to the
commission. Last year
the commission apportioned about
a half million dollars to various
counties. and because of this ap-
portionment much work was done by
the counties for which they were
not paid out of state funds because
the act under which the apportion-
hthl was maui was uttltItu llltp-
al. 1t is believed by many that
one of the first measures to be
presented to the legislature should
be one to make valid these appor-
uonments of the highway commits
sion.
Governor-elect Ammons is great
ly interested in this meeting, and
at his request the dates for the con-
vention have been fixed definitely
as January IS and 90. This is
done so that there will be no con-
fliet with the Farmers Congress to
be held at Fort Collins the week
of January 13, and which hereto
fore has always been in session at
the time of the good roads conven-
tion. The County Commissioners
association of the state will meet
with the good roads convention. the
goth being the first date set for
the convention of che commission
