ministration. Colorado has suffered
more during the past six years than
any other state in the Union-suffered

Dsmocra&dc Reforms
If you will go out and talk to any
Colorado taxpayer and pay heed to his
kicks regardless Of party affiliations.
you will find they are all with regard
to socalled reforms which the Demo.
cratic party has passed in the past six
years to reform Colorado. All were
called paramount issues in their turn
and each was guaranteed to cure eli
ills that the people suffered. A special
session of the legislature at big ex-
pense was called to jam these REFORMS
through and the Democrats themselves
now admit all are fakes. The primary
law has accomplished nothing but to
loot the public treasury. The initiative
and referendum has been used to hold
up few good laws and pass one or
two bad ones and robbed the state of
about quarter million dollars. The
state equalization board has skinned
the taxpayers more than all the others
put together in its efforts to raise
money for Democratic extravaganza.
All told these reforms have already
cost the state several million of dollars,
impaired the state credit to an extent
that has been an injury to every citi-
zen, and if any man can show where
