The county agent II = pan Of =
great agricultural movement This
movement has for its ultimate pur-
pose the building up Of . country
life that shall be wholesome. sttrac.
tive. cultured. efficient. and profit
able. There are many sections Of
our country today that have one or
more Of these conditions. but the sec
tions where all are found In happy
unison are comparatively few. The
desire OF those who are thinking on
rural problems is that rural commun-
tiles everywhere shall bc wholesome.
attractive. and cultured. and that
each individual shall receive fair
reward for the labor done and the
capital invested. The county agent
has one dominant part In this pro.
gram. While he may take other
parts. his primary function is To help
make agriculture efficient and prof
table. In proportion as agriculture
is made profitable will the communi.
~ become attractive. cultured. and n
plae. wholesome and desirable to
live In.
Just what II meant by u profitable
agriculture simply this: There
shall be reasonable return on the
capital invested In farming and a
reasonable return for the farmers
labor and managerial ability. A far.

Conferences into which Governor
elect Carlson has invited some Of the
most prominent members Of the Re-
publican party, business mens rspre-
sentatives OF labor and students Of
efficiency. and which have been held
recently. have convinced Mr.. Carl
son and his political advisers that
the high cost OF government must be
reduced and that rewards for party
services must be subordinated 70 ef-
ficiency Inasmuch as there are on
" about 1000 applicants for lh /,
few salaried offices to be awarded
by the governor and his cabinet this
announcement IL calculated 10 bring
terror to the hearts OF scores Of men
and women. who feel entitled TO live
ut the public expense.
Al one OF these conferences all the
officers-elect were present, and IL
was the sense Of the gathering thai
everything possible should Be done TO
reduce the expenses Of state sovsrn-
ment and TO promote the highest
efficiency In the public service. Mr.
Carlson believes that BY applying
the knife to the huge pay roll Of the
state better work can be had. while
nearly 350O.000 q year can be saved
In salaries and expenses. This. how
ever. involves the elimination Of the
county courts. which can be done
only by constitutional amendment
This item alone will save e2Oo. zoo
besides reducing the costs Of litiga-
tion.
Such an amendment will be offer
ed at the governors instigation when
the legislature assemblies. but only
after a thorough study Of the effect
such change would have on pending
cases and in adding to the number
of district judges.
Mr.. Carlson went into those con.
ferences prepared to show that the
/ present status OF the government OF
Colorado is one OF high cost and low
efficiency. At his instance one OF

Cade had fled from England for some

wars he went back to that country and
settled in Kent under the assumed
name Of Aylmer. marrying a lady of
good position. When the men of Kent
rose in rebellion in May, 1850. he led
them. The rebels made their way into
London on July 3. a portion of the
populace favored them, but the oppos-
Ing party gained strength when Cade
began to plumber and kill. He retired
To Southwark, and was prevented from

pomp and ceremony. Money for build

so far Inadequate that the structure
remained a mere stump, only about
one-third its present height, until 1881,
