RErARDING THE STATE.

While 1t is true that Colorado has
been retarded in her commercial
growth through the enactment of
freak laws during the last six years,
it is equally true that much OF her
retardment has come about through
the swindling schemes Of designing ir-
rigation and mining promoters. Time
after time either carload or trainload
of Iowa and other eastern farmers
have been shipped into the state,
shown a piece of dry land in the
springtime and have purchased it at
many times it's value only to dis
cover later in the year that the land
was useless so far as their knowledge
of agriculture is concerned. The plains
of Colorado east of the terminus OF
the irrigation district are dotted with
families that cannot raise raise money
enough to get away from the dry
farms, which will not support them.
Perhaps as much damage has come
to the state from these fraudulent
sales and transactions as from any
other one source.
We understand that there are two
"blue sky" bills pending, and we sug-
gest that portion of the time Of
the assembly be given to their en-
actment. We would like to see the
agitator and would-be reformer run
out Of the state, and we would cor
respondingly like to see the fake min
ing man and the fake irrigation man
in the penitentiary. If these two re-
suits can be accomplished we are sure
Colorado would be started on the right
road to commercial prosperity-Pue-
bio Chieftain.

That Secretary of State Pearce has
allowed the department of labor to
degenerate into a political grating
machine; that he has appointed men
to responsible positions in that office
"whose character and morals are n
disgrace to themselves and stencil
in the nostrils of all decent citizens
in the state of Colorado" and that he
dare not discharge them because "they
have the goods on him." are the accu-
sations made in typewriter letter
sent to the members of the legisla-
ture by the Denver Building Trades
council This the man some of the
La Plata county laboring men voted
for last fall in the face of charges
made that If not true, would have
sent the editor of the Denver Post to
the pen. And we have this man
Pearce to put up with for two years
more.

PAYING FOR VOTES.

State to pay for votes" was the
heading placed over a story Of the
plan to assess poll tax against those
Who fail to vote at regular prima ries
and elections. Paying for votes has
been one Of the menaces to free gov
eminent under the old system of re-
muneration where some politician had
charge of the barrel and put out the
money where it would do the most
good. With the state in charge Of
the funds, strictly-one-price-to- all
system and no influence exerted for
any party in the field, the plan has
its merits as it may bring out the good
citizen of noble impulses who let's the
other fellow do his voting for him.

Elsewhere is a clipping from a
Kansas paper which states there is a
proposition of assessing poll tax
against all who fail to vote at pri-

had its way the law would make reg

punishable with fine or disfranchise
ment. 1t would also make it punish

soldiers were slain and twelve wound
ed in clash with the Ninth American
cavalry troopers outside of Douglas

General Ojeda, commanding the
Mexican federals at Aqua Prieta, de-

along the border when fifty Mexicans
opened fire. The officers replied with
their revolyers. Hearing the shots
two troops of the Ninth cavalry rushed
to the scene and fired two volleys at
the Mexicans.
Americans deny that several troop
ers crossed the border.
Colonel Guiifoyle, commanding the
Ninth cavalry. insists that the Mex
leans started the trouble, firing at 300
yards.
