Dme People TO STATE
(By Alva A. Swain

Denver, Nov. 1O-.Now that the elee-
tion is over the ninds Of the people
are naturally turning toward What will
and can be accomplished during the
coming two years. So far rs the state
is concerned the establishment of
state sovereignty is the principal thing.
II the federal troops have not been re-
moved from the state by the time Carl
son takes his position as governor be
will within few days notify the pres
ident that the troops can be removed.
He will then control the situation with
the national guards of the state, il
there is any situation to control. How
ever, there is . general sentiment to
the effect that it will not be necessary
to use the guards, because the moral
effect of last Tuesdays election should
settle all disturbances.
So far as other pledges are concerned
they reach to the commercial develop
ment of the state, more than to the
economic problems. In this connection
the administration is pledged to the
construction of good roads. to the set
tlement by homeseekers of our lan'l
and to an adjustment of taxation that
will be equally fair to all. In this cor
'nection the people have adopted the
proposed state board of equalization
ame ndment to the constitution. Thi.
centrsli1es the power to value property
! Under this amendment the state board
Of equalization which is composed Of
the governor, the secretary Of staAs
~ vtats ssdi1ee -.tkes tssassssf and
the sttorney geasral, acting ~ ~
equalization beard, have the right u
value every article of property in thu
state. From now on the assessOrs have
only an advisory capaeity. The equal
ization board can accept the recon
mendation of the assessors or not, al
its members deem best. With one cen
tral body valuing all the property there
should be NO inequalities in the fins'
valuation.
Perhaps there has been more time
given to the settlement of lands in the
state than to any other one subject
However, 30 far no scheme has ye,
been developed than has really, prop
erly settled them. There has Away
been some drawback in some quartes
of the state, where settlements have
been attempted on a large scale. The
incoming administration is pledged Il
the development Of some scheme thai
will accomplish the settlement and tn;
proper settlement Of our lands.
The good roads question should b
easily handled. During the last fou1
years laws have been enseted whiei
have placed the expenditures Of oul
good rosds money under the direction
Of . state highway commission. Agai,
lsws have beea enacted that will pe,
nit the successful working Of convict
