sestion is made in the opinion that a

HOUSE CLEANING IN
COLORADO CAPITAL

House cleaning at the capitol is to
be carried ON next year in a scientific
manner-if the leaders of the Republi-
can state organization have their way,
and IF the greed of the politicians
does not prevent 1t will be as far
reaching as the hungry office-seekers
will permit, and considerably farther
than that if the wisdom of the men
who elected Carlson and Ramer and
Stocker and Lewis is consulted.
The Republican members of both
branches of the Legislature have been
called to meet in Denver on Jan. 3
four days before the assembling of the
lawmaking body, in order to agree up
on a program and determine the ap-
portionment of patronage. Philip B.
Stewart, chairman of the Republican
state committee, and the only candi-
date for speaker of the house on his
side, has issued the call as part of a
plan which, if carried out, will redeem
the state from the thrall of the in
competent and over-numerous office
holding class that seems to regard the
capitol as its only home, lessen taxes
and generally produce a higher eff
cheney among state employees.
Legislature to Adjourn at End of Thir-
ty Days.
1t will be proposed to the majority
members that the people demand re-
lief from excessive taxes, and especial
ly that the men who serve in the
numerous places created in the last
thirty years, be ousted or compelled
to go to work, if necessary work can
be found for them to do That until
a thorough study has been made it
will be impossible to discover all the
drones, and that for that reason it will
be advisable to take a recess at the
end of the first thirty days-the legal
period for the introduction of bills
and to await the results of Survey"
before reassembling to take action on
the legislation which will be proposed.
1t is the intention, if the Republican
members are amenable to reason, to
have this survey made by experts in
efficiency and not by a joint commit
tee which can be dominated by politi-
cal influences and whose activities
might render nugatory the intention
of the party leaders for retrenchment.
