l,403 OUT OF 800 FIRMS ARE
BARRED BY BLUE-SKY LAW

Less than one in fifteen corporations
which want to sell stocks and bonds
to the people of Kansas has been
found to be of sufficient strength to
allow the Kansas farmers to make in
vestments in the securities.
Out of 1900 corporations of all
sorts which have tried to do business
in Kansas, only ninety-seven have
been granted certificates which will
permit them to sell securities in the
Sunflower state. Most of the COM
panies which have obtained certificates
are Kansas concerns.
These facts came to light last week
when J. N. Dolley, state bank COM
missioner, made his biennial report
to the governor of the workings of
his department. Mr.. Dolley is the
originator and has charge of the en-
forcement of the Kansas blue-sky law.
the only law of its kind in the country
1t was through the operation of this
law that the large number of fake
stock and bond selling propositions
were discovered and wecded out of
Kansas.
Under the law each corporation that
desires to sell stock or other securi-
ties in Kansas must first obtain a

THAT ROAD TO THE SAN JUAN.

"The mountain may not go to Ma
hommet but Mahommet may go to the
mountain This quotation applies
precisesly to the proposition of build
ing an automobile road from the San
Luis valley into the San Juan country
and the proposition to build over the
range from Del Norte is the "moun-
tain" This proposition is compara-
lively a stupendous one and one so
great that it is too burdensome to
be practical They can build an auto
mobile road over the Conejos range
via Platoro and Pagosa Springs while
they are talking about the other route.
There is almost water grade up
the Conejos river to the summit and
few paltry thousand dollars will
build the road All that is necessary
is to repair the old state road ever
the range. 1t will cost mole money
to build road from Alamosa to Mon
tie Vista than it will to build the road
the entire distance from Mogote to
the summit. The Alamosa people who
are interesting themselves in this mat
ter should see the advantage of the
Conejos route and should recognize in
it something within immediate grasp.

ARDUOREL AMENDS HIGH
SCHOOL LAW OF STATE

Representative Ardourel has pre-
pared bill amending the school law
of the state in order to permit any
pupil outside high school district.
who desires to attend high school
within the county where such pupil
resides, or in an adjoining county, to
do so. The necessary tuition fee
charged for the attendance of such
pupil shall be paid by the school dis
trict in which such pupil resides up
to $3.50 per month.
1t is provided, however, that no
high school shall be required to admit
pupils from another district at less
charge per month than the average
cost per pupil for the previous year
for that high school The board of
directors of any district may pay
more than $3.50 per month, but not
exceeding the aforementioned average
cost.

The sudden death of Robert Gauss,
the veteran editorial writer of the
Denver Republican, will be mourned
by large circle of newspaper men.
Mr.. Gauss was one of the most un-
assuming men we ever came in con-
tact witha Always pleasant and will
ing to discuss subjects of Importance
with men of standing, he came to
know the state and its wants. Last
March when j, A. Clay and the writer
called on Mr.. Gauss to talk over rail-
road possibilities we found him fully
as well posted regarding the require
ments of this section as we were. He
said by all means that Durango should
be connected by road to the south
no matter if additional railroad ia
cilities were forthcoming from the
east. He had in mind all important
reasons for such road and the coun-
try it would develop. Mr. Gauss will
certainly be missed, especially by
those who had occasion to enjoy his
fellowship.

tional system would have $1,000 miles
of roads. If the average cost should
be 100000 mile, it could be paid
for in about four years.
There is no question but that the
good roads problem is becoming one
of national Importance. Some of the
states are making rapid strides in the
improvement of highways. but with
federal aid so much more could be
accomplished in much less time
In explaining his plan, Represen-
tative Warburton says:
In 1910, according to the reports
Of the internal revenue department,
the receipts from the tobacco tax were
$bS,O00,G00, as opposed to S13S,000,-

ticed by the consumer. For instance,
it would raise the tax on a 10-cent
cigar three -tenths of one cent, and
the manufacturer of that cigar would
decrease the weight of the package
one-thirtieth, and the consumer could
not tell the difference in size. The
manufacturer of smoking tobacco
would decrease the size of the pack
age about one-twelfth, and the con-
sumer would not know the difference.
During the Spanish American war the
tax on tobacco was increased to the
amount of tax suggested, and | ven
dozen ever knew the tax was raised,
and never knew when it was taken off
The proposed raise in the tax will
not affect the producer of tobacco,

ed. England imports one-half of her
tobacco from us; France one-half;
Italy nearly all of hers. The price is
regulated by the foreign market, much
more than is the price of wheat and
corn, and is not affected by the tax"
Taxing tobacco users to build good
roads sounds all right, but why CON
fine the tax on tobacco? 1t would
bring in far greater sum to put a
tax upon the users of liquors as we'll

misrepresenting the voters of Colo

gives the votes east for Thomas and
the Republican nominee, also between
the Democratic nominee for congress
and the Republican, in beet growing
counties, and then trying to make it
appear that this vote shows conclu-

wanted to be fair il would have in
cluded the vote for the Progressive

strictly protection tariff plank and
who received more votes than the Re-

receiving at least three -fifths of the
votes in the counties mentioned by

stated, will continue if necessary, ev-

The way useless measures are being
introduced in the legislature even
makes Democratic newspapers sick as
vide the following from the Pueblo
Star-Journal; "Of the making of laws,
or rather the introducing of laws,
there seems to be no end. Already
more than three hundred bills have
been introduced in the Colorado as
sembly, and as the time for intro
ducing legislation will not expire for
some time, the number will be greatly
increased. The desire to have ones
name attached to legislative enact
ments is as strong with new members
as at any time in the history of Colo
rado, but realization to shine as the
author of laws supposed to be for the
uplifting of the state and its people
will be denied to many. With bills
it is a case of many are introduced,
but few are passed The bills now
before the assembly include almost
every subject that the Imagination of
legislator can devise and it would
seem that nothing is left for others
ambitious to get into the jam pressing
around the legislative hopper. Yon

down, however, and his fertile brpi +,
will find some way of evolving a law.

The railroads have not made any
move to reduce passenger tariff. If
they mean to cut out passes all
around they should lose no time in
making it so people can afford to
travel. Colorado will have to appro-
pirate something over 100000 for
state officials compelled to travel over
the state and additional mileage
should be one of the benefits. The
fare from Silverton should be cut to
s25 for the round trip, or not over
SIG one way, with limit of 8 cents
per mile for short trips. Then peo-
pie could afford to visit Silverton, Ig-
nacio, Mancos, Aztec, Pennington and

evil is increasing in the larger cities.
The measure should be amended max

of dollars every year to register vo-
ters and the registration books are
burdened with names. Compel voters
