RESOLUTIONS ON ABUSE OF
NEW LAWS


At the meeting Of the Colorado
State Editorial Association at
Colorado Springs last week the
following resolutions were adopt
ed, and all newspapers of the
state are requested to publish
WHEREAS, 1t is the duty of
the Legislature to enact the laws
needed by the people of the state,
and the initiative and referendum
provisions of the state constitu-
uon were given to the people Of
this state to be used only upon
the failure Of the legislature to
enact laws of general Importance
demanded by the people and,
WHEREAS, certain people seem
TO have an idea that every meas
ure passed by the legislature that
does not meet with their approval
should be referred, and that laws
embodying pet theories not of gen
eral interest or Importance should
be initiated, thus placing an UNI
necessary burden upon the taXpay-
ers of the state through the adver-
using of these initiated and re
ferred laws,
THEREFORE,, BE IT RESOLV-
ED, That the Colorado Editorial
Association deplorcs the unfair,
unnecessary and unscrupulous use
of the provisions Of the initiative
and referendum by certain inter
ests and certain people, not only
to further their own selfish ends
and purposes but also to belittIe
the real purpose of the initiative
and referendum, by circulating
petitions to initiate unnecessary
and uncaIled for laws and by cir
culatlng petitions to refer, and
thereby make imperative, laws al
ready passed by the Legislature
that were demanded by the people.
AND BE IT FURTHER RE
SOLVED, That the Colorado Ed
torlal Association urges the vot-
crs of Colorado to help reduce
taxes by refusing to sign all mi
tiatcd and referred measures UNI
less each voter shall personally in
ycstigatr the merits of each pro
posed measure and shall be per-
sonally satisfied that such meas
ure is of statewide interest and
Importance, and that it is demand
ed by the people.
BE TT RESOLVED by the
Colorado Editorial Association
that all press matter having as its
object the advertising of concerns
doing business for profit in the
state should be treated as advcr-
Using matter, and
RESOLVED FURTHER, That
the editors of the state be request
ed to follow the suggestions here
in made, and
BE IT RESOLVED FURTHER,
That the Secretary be instructed
to send copies Of this resolution
TO the corporations and other con
Germs that have followed the prac-
tiee of sending periodical press
matter to the papers for publiea-
ton.

desultory tasks for newspapers, but
never succeeded in connecting him,
self with a pay roll. Once he hat
been given a commission to write a
little skit for a vaudeville stunt, and
this was his undoing-if so sorry a
failure could be undone. In work
ing it up he had found it necessary
to familiarize himself with the
technique Of playwriting and it fas-
cinated him. Then the stunt was
a decided success and the man who
wrote it not only realized more
money from it than he had
from any other literary effort in his
life, but also saw the possibilities of
dramatic expression both in an ar
tistic and a financial sense. And 50
he came to be a slave of the play
wright's itch. And he wrote and

pinched and still wrote. But his
skits were not accepted and his plays
were returned by the managers and
their readers. ~
