remaining down so that they will come
within the estimated revenue, but the
boys either dislike 10 sacrifice their pet
appropriation bills or find it a very
difficultmatter to obey the governors
orders and the result is that very little
progress is being made to solve the f.
nancial problems before them.
During the Sha froth administrations.
the boys got accustomed TO passing any
old appropriation bill with the full, as.
surance that it would become law re.
gardless OF the estimated revenue and
they find it decidedly difficult to break
away from the custom. 1t is true that
Governor Ammons warned them that
appropriations must be kept within the
revenue, but they evidently thought he
was joking or making grardstand
play, for they Immediately proceeded
to Introduce appropriation bills to about
four times the amount Of the estimated
revenue. With this food of bills and
the bad blood that will be stirred up by
an attempt to side track those in excess
OF the state revenue, the members Of
the legislature will have plenty of troub
lie on their hards.
1t has beer suggested that the legis-

1t no longer mentions. Does 1t propose
to restore any of the old conditions that
1t once defended in vain, or any of its
issues that the people have rejected7

nightly constructive it is safe to predict
hat they will not change to the merely
restorative unless they feel that they
have lost something of value.
If the democratic national platform

he protective system, which It declares

Senator C S. Thomas has again an
nounced publicly disposition on the tar
1T question. He proposes to vote and
act in accordance with the democratic
Tariff platform regardless Of how 1t hits
Colorado industries. He attempts to
square himself with his duties to his
constituents by referring to the fact
that the people Of the state elected him
on the democratic tariff platform and
also by entering denial Of the claim that
the proposed democratic tariff reduc
tion will injure Colorado industries.
The voters OF Colorado should have
known C. S. Thomas well enough to
know that. II they ever placed him in a
position where his official actions were
to be governed by either his personal
ambition or his duty to his costituents,
he would follow the line Of his ambitions
|every time.
They elected him governor Of the
.,a,, OF Colorado once upon a time and
instead Of devoting his bost efforts to
giving the people n good administration
Of state affairs, he bent his every en-
erpy to the buildisg up Of n political
machine that was to boost him into the
United States senate. He failed for a
time but finally realized his ambition In
that line.
Now some Of his democratic support
ers ask him to work and vote
10 protect Colorado industries from
threatened tariff legislation. These gen
tlcmen should have known better than
make such request for this request
comes squarely against Senator Thomas
ambition to stand high In the ranks OF
national democracy and Of course he
would turn II down. In other words,
