THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK

The time is fast approaching when
candidates for congressional and
state offices will be as thick as bees
In July. The Progressive party is all
that Democracy has to fear at the
coming election, and 1t behooves the
Democrats to put forth their best and
most select timber for the several
nominations. The Hon. c. S. Thomas
will undoubtedly be nominated for
the U. s. Senate to succeed himself
and will no doubt be elected, as his
record shows that in every way he
has fulfilled the promises made the
people. Taylor, Heating and Seldom
ridge have lived up to the pledges
made to their constituency and also
have been a great factor in strength
ening the arm of the administration,
and they should all be returned. The
Progressives undoubtedly will have
only one nominee for governor, viz:
that of E. P. Costigan, whom we
must admit is a strong man in his
party and will receive their united
strength, together with many from
the old Republican ranks.
The Democrats have several aspir-
ants who claim tEeir chances are
favorable to become the nominee.
There is Ammons, Hecker, Kenehan,
lyman and others, who have been
mentioned. Eut to us there is one
who stands out more prominent than
all others. One who has been weigh
ed in the balance and never found
wanting, one who can command the
confidence of labor and capital alike,
one who has served his state in ma
tional legislative halls with credit to
himself and honor to our great COM
monwealth, one whose fealty to his
constituents is as eternal as our rock
ribbed mountains, one whom the peo-
pie love and revere. That man is
Hon. John A. Martin, of Pueblo. He
has spent his time and energies at
Washington, battling for the people 8
cause, and the party should select
him for a safe, economical and pro-
gressive administration.

MORE PINcHoTIsM j

. Clifford Pinchot, the head of the
bureau of forestry under Roosevelt,
and who wrought more destruction to
Colorado and other western states
by his conservation schemes and for
est reserves, than any man in his
tory, has established his temporary
residence in the great state of Penn
sylvania and offers himself as a Pro-
gressive candidate for United States
senator, to succeed the Hon. Boise
PenrOse, the present Republican SEN
atOr. Pennsylvania, we admit has
had its Camerons, its Quays and its
Penrose, but they were natives of the
soil and their INTRIGUING was mostly
carried on within the confines of
their native state. but Mr.. Pinchot
is of recent Importation and perhaps
bases his candidacy upon the fact of
the Progressive victory in that state
at the last presidential campaign. Mr..
Pinchot made himself SO odius to the
people of the west by his bureaucra-
tic conservation acts that President
Taft was compelled to retire him and
should Pennsylvania send him to the
upper house of congress. God pity
the west. Pennsylvania should profit
by the example of Colorado who was
shOrt-sighted enough to send an itin-
Grant to that noble body of states
men. A man, whose sole object was
to moro firmly entrench his interests
in state and nation, and from whose
baneful practice the state is suffer
ing today. Penrose may be bad, but
Pennsylvania cannot afford to go
from bad to worse, and 1t Is to be
hoped that the keystone state will
shelve his little game.

D. F. Doolittle, connected with the
commercial department OF the Noun
tain States T. & T. Company, has
been in the city this week, calling
upon subscribers and notifying them
of local changes in phone rates and
systems. Henceforth the free tolls
on inter-county talks will be elimin-
ated and the charge for calls be-
tween Central and Idaho Springs on
five-minute talks will be five cents
and between Central and Georgetown
will be ten cents. Other toll rates
will remain the same. Other changes
he announced is the elimination of
the eight party service for res:den-
ces and business houses after April
1st The two party service will be
substituted and the rate for residen-
ces will be $500 a month and for
business phones s4.00 a month. The
eight party service has been aban-
doned in all the other counties of
the state, and according to MT. Doo-
little, the change had to be made
here on account of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The opera
tions of the phone company are un-
der the supervision Of the Commerce
commission and fear was felt that
they might regard the rates here as
discriminative against other counties.

State Railway Commission Declares
Competitive Measures of Two
Grain Concerns Just.

The competitive methods employ
ed by the Occident Elevator company
and the Powers Elevator company,
both Of Minneapolis, in buying grain
at Eldridge, in this state, are declared
fair by the state railway commission,
in a decision announced concerning
recent complaints made by the Farm
ers' Elevator company. an %independ-
ent concern of Eldridge.
The commission holds that prices at
Eldridge are not governed by the Min
neapolis price, but that the quota
lions Of a milling company at James
town are the controlling factor, that
defense being raised by the compa-
MES at the three-day hearing recently
held in jamestown.
Charges that the line companies en-
ployed unfair competition and dis
criminatory measures to fight the in
dependent concern were made by the
Farmers company. Higher gradings
and higher prices. it was said, We're
offers put forth to farmers to sell
grain to the line companies in prefer
ence to making sales to independent
concerns.
The farmers maintained that the
Eldridge price was also above that
offered by the same companies at
other points in the state similarly
located.
The defense of the companies that
the milling company at jamestown
quoted higher than the usual figure
vas supported by evidence and the
Minneapolis concerns maintained that
the only way they could get any bust
ness was to compete with the James
town price.
This is the first decision that has
been made on the question of dis
elimination under the states new
law and it will have important bear
ing on the question in the future.

in a few instances when the gasoline
engine used for power underwent re-
pairs. The COWS were MIXED by hand
one day OF each month to ascertain
the approximate production of indi-

While the data on hand thus far
are not complete, yet certain facts
