L WASHINGTON, Feb. H. In a
masterful argument against the Con-
necticut dam bill, Senator Charles S.
Thomas today conveyed to the senate
the message of the West as to the
threatened policy of government con
troll of water powers and other natural
resources in which the states are I'D
mitted to hold property.
The speech occupied two hours of
the latter portion of the afternoon.
The Colorado senator held the atter-
tion of u number of his lawyer col
leagues, who are plainly concerned
with the serious constitutional ques-
tion involved in the proposal to take
federal toll from project on u navi-
gable river. He served notice that he
would complete his address ut tomor.
rows session.
Senator Thomas marshalled. proof
that the government, in assuming con-
troll of the power project was not only
taking property in which it had no
right under the constitution, bat was,
in effect, creating and fostering q
monopoly.
sSThe interest OF those from the
West on this matter, said the senator
lis due to the inroads which conserva-
tion has made on our prosperity.

DON'T SLASH THE
SUGAR TARIFF"
This is Message of Farmers'
Union to Colorado's Con-
gressioaal Delegation.

An imperative protest straight
from the growers of sugar beets
in Colorado will go to the Color
ado delegation at Washington
against reduction Of the tariff on
sugar. This protest will be in
the form Of a resolution adopted
in session at the albany hotel.
Albert Dakan of Longmont is
the chairman of a state commit
tee of the union which for two
and one-half years has been in
vestigating the sugar beet situa-
ton with a view to improving the
condition generally. He said
this afternoon:
"We have gone INTO this SUI
ject of the tariff thoroughly.
We know that free trade would
destroy the sugar beet industry
in Colorado. The Philippines
and Java could put sugar in here
at a price that would cut out this
crop for the state.
I'VE have already been send
ing in kilograms and letters
against a low tariff on sugar from
smaller meetings in the state,
and shall make a protest to our
congressional delegation now rep
resenting beet sugar growers Of
the whole state"

DELIVERS PLEA
FOR EAST COLORADO.
Representative Says Re-appor.
tionment is Needed in JUS
tice to People of Plains.

Louis Vogt, Representative
from Lincoln, Phillips, Yuma,
Kit Carson and Cheyenne coun-
ties, made an eloquent plea for
the eastern section of colorado
before the house last Friday
when it was moved to strike out
the enactment clause that would
kill his bill to re-apportion the
senatorial and representative
districts Of the state.
Representative Biles made the
motion to kill the Vogt bill. II
would never be able to go back
to nv people if / voted for it. !"
he said.
Vogt almost ran to the front of
the house to answer.
Shaking his finger at Biles he
cried; I'm tell the house why
you are against this bill. 1t is
because you represent ], 1886 peo-
pie and / represent III, 900, that's
why"
Turning to the house rVogt
cried out for a square deal. :"
Amend this bill fix it up as you
will, gentlemen, but don't killit.
Give the great desert we have
made bloom. representation.
Give it what it is entitled to. /"
The house then agreed to give
Vogt all the time he desired to
tell of his measure.
The bill provides for one sena-
tor for each 1900 people. For
each 25,OO0 in a county the coun-
ty shall be entitled to another.
We are pleased to see Mr..
Vogt take hold of things in this
manner, as it shows him to be a
gentleman, and that he is willing
to do what is right, and that he
will look after the interests of
his constituents rights to the
best of his ability. Give the
democrats a chance and they will
all show you that they will try
and make their pledges good.

Democratic Simplicity

However the fashionables at
Washington may feel over the
announced intention Of Governor
Wilson to dispense, if he can,
with the inaugural ball, the rest
of the country generally applaud
the decision.
1t is meet that a democratic
administration begin its activities
without that display and csten-
tation that had characterized
most of the inaugurals of a re-
publican president. A republic
has no call to ape the ways of the
ancient aristocracies, and Gov
ernor Wilson is demonstrating
his closeness to and sympathy
with the common people when
he attempts to do away with one
Of the outward manifestations of
imperial pomp.
These inaugural balls have
been of great expense to the
government, they have arranged
the pension Office where they
have been held, have impeded
the clerks in their work and they
are unnecessary. Their final
abandonment will meet with
general approval Miami ella. }
