We have estimated roads and bridges
much higher than the amount now ex-
pended in the new section. We have no
streams requiring expensive bridges. Roads
are uniformly good. and with small ex-
pense for road machinery and usual poll
tax work they would be ideal in the new
county, in short time. The new coun-
sy is more fortunate in this respect than
almost any other county in the state.
Transcribing the records u estimated y
higher than for any county Of which we
have report. We believe we have been
liberal in our estimate Of court expense,
and that Office rents Is likewise high.
Extra help is allowed for on the theory
that new officials may need some aid to
start their records in the most approved
manner. We believe it Is high estimate.
but that some expenditure Of that sort
might be necessary. and would be prof
liable investment.
We have made no estimate for aid to
poor, election expeDse, or new court
house. The first two items should not
exceed $1,000 annually, and the last
should not be taken up until the perma-
nent county seat is located, and would not
call for an appropriation the first year.
The cost Of transcribing the records would
come only once, and an annual expense
Of $40, 900 to build new court house
should be more than ample to meet al
need. along that line. Then the 81 700
estimated for Office rents would cease to
be charge against the county.
Should we meet with more than ordi-
nary unexpected expense. we cannot see
where the new county would need to raise
more than $4,000 in any one year for
the next three years to meet all running
expenses and build much better court
house than we have any reason to believe
the new county would build.
Under present valuations, and admitting
that the taxable valuations woald not In
crease during that time, the section in the
proposed new county will At the present
levy pay Sac, 700 annually into the county

Sixteen opt of the sixty-three countie,
Of. the state have less taxable property than
six millions; Of over twenty-five per cen,
Of the counties now established have less
taxable properly than the proposed new
county.
Another reason advanced for separation
Is the fact that the proposed new county
is entirely devosed to dry farming. and it,
interesu are not identical with the majority
Of the county Of Weld. Weld officials
are unable to give attention TO the need,
Of the section 20 far removed from them.
II is a selfevideht fact that some section
must be neglected. and the less populou,
and more distant section will obviously be
the one to suffer from the necessary neg
lect.
I, is readily agreed that at some time
IN the future new county will be carved
out Of Weld, on approximately the boun-
daries now proposed. Two yesrs ago,
it was urged that At this time we would
be ready, and now some Of the same OBJ
jectoss are urging another two years post
ponement Of action. We believe that
the time for such action i now.
Careful estimates Of the probable cos.
Of the division have been made. Most
county officials in the State Of Colorado
receive the fees Of their Office, up to the
amount named, and must be satisfied with
what the fees amount TO-. and those Office,
will not in any event be charge on the

the girl beside her.
And although the pay is for piece
work, the girl must work every min
ute of nine and q half hours with
the exception of thirty minutes for
lunch, and she is not permitted to sit
down. Even when she is eating her
luncheon, which she must eat in the
factory, as the fOTelady told me the
firm will not let the girls leave for
fear they might carry away whisk
or toy broom, the girls must sit on
her work table.
Not understanding our language,
having no opportunity to talk with
other workers in the same trade, the
girl doesn't know how terribly she is
being cheated in the wage that is
paid her. She doesn't know when
she is given 1851 for sewing los
dozen brOOms that in any other shop
the wage for that number of brooms
would be 1892. She doesn't know
that when she is paid 21a cents a
dozen for. sewing bTOOms twice that
she would get 6 cents elsewhere; or
when she gets 23I cents for sewing
them three times she would 7112 cents
elsewhere, or when she gets three
cents for sewing them four times

She only knows that she is giving
every ounce of her strength and get
ting in return just sufficient to keep
her existing.
She only knows that her hands
get cruelty calloused; that the force
with which she must push down with
her foot the pedal of the broom
machine sometimes causes a sharp
pain in her side; that the wet dust
Of the broomcOrn bothers her throat
and lies heavy in her hair; that the

no time for life's little pleasures but

when one contrasts the dreams and
the visions which brought them here
with the actual experience they gain
when they secure employment in
such factories as that OF the United
States Broom and Brush Company.
They leave their homes in far off
countries filed with ideals they have
imbibed from steamship company lit
eratUTe and the tales of big money,
easy work and liberty of action they
are going to find in America. Old
mothers and fathers wish them God
speed, little sisters watch with visit
full, envious eyes, and amid the good
bye kisses and the goodbye tears the
girl promises that when she gets to
the land of plenty she will not forget
those she has left behind, but that
they will share in the plenty.
And then she reaches a city like
Chicago-alone. She doesn't under
stand a word of our language, which
must seem but queer jargOn to her.
She finds, through some Of the nu-
merous agencies, people of her own
tongue who already have tasted the
gall of disappointment and who are
glad to take her in for the little she
can pay as board to help along. They
tell her, too, of places like the brush
company that will take girls who are
"green" and who do not understand
English.
She applies for work. She is told
that. the pay is for piecework, that if
she works hard she can make what
seems to her a fabulous amount, but
she doesn't understand that the price
she is being offered would make it
impossible, even with her untried
strength, to ever make more than a
pittance and so she begins.
