Presidents MeAdoo Letter

"Now and then, in the presidents
letter to Secretary McAdoo, there is
note sounding much like one of in
sincerity. In the main, the letter is
in Mr.. Wilson's usual style of say
ing nothing in arabesque, laid on
with a very fine and delicate touch.
He has already forgotten, it seems,
what he was saying the other day,
anent the late election, about the
present and coming time being for
action and not words. In his letter
to the secretary Of the treasury he
piles masses Of polished words in do
ing nothing more than uttering glor-
ious prophecies Of what is yet to come.
In all of this we believe him to be sin
cere. He is a dreamer whose dreams
are always so roseate that they can
spring out of nothing else than sin
cere desire and longink for their real
ization. 1t is in what he writes to
the secretary of things which have al
ready come to pass that the insincere
not. seems to be struck" says the
St. Louis Globe Democrat,
The tariff has been recast with
a view to supporting the government
rather than the favored beneficiaries
of the government Is insincerity. The
present tariff law was drawn on lines
avowedly intended to reduce govern
ment revenues between $4,000, 900
and 100000 annually. The schedules
were found to be doing so much more
in the way Of reduction that had been
estimated with the expenses of gov
ernm, mt increasing that the imposi-
ton of direct tax is one of the re-
suits. AS it is impossible to assume
that the president is not well advised
of these facts it is as much impos-
possible not to believe that, in blink
ing them, and in saying, in grandilo-
que, phrase, that the present tariff
supports the government, he is not
wholly sincere.
Nor is it easier to escape this
same unwelcome suspicion when, in
touching upon the financial difficult
ties of the railroads he says: THE
railroads of the country are affected
not so much because their business
is curtailed as because their credit is
called in question by doubt as to their
earning capacity We are somewhat
at a loss to deal with this expression
as it deserves and still pay due re-
spect to the president of the United
States. Had it emanated from any
other source we should call it poser.
The president can not but know that
the gross receipts Of all railway
lines have shown heavy reductions. be-
ginning within month after the
present tariff law became operative.
He not only blinks that patent fact,
but comes perilously near the point
of fatty denying it, without making
an effort to explain why their cred
it is called in question by doubt as
to their earning capacity II their
earning capacity has not been i'm
paired partly through a curtailing of
business. If not insincere he is inc <.
plicable. We must again urge him to
stick to his new resolve on action
and not words"

The Initiative in Practice

We do OF share the regrets which
seem to be expressed By good
many people over the defeat of a num-
Der Of proposed laws and amendments
in the recent election. Some persons
seem to think that it is very bad adj
vice for the newspapers to suggest,
and for the people to follow, that all
proposed laws should be voted down
unless the voters understand them.
On the contrary this is the best kind
cate.
It is, of course, desirable that the
average citizen should familiarize
himself with proposed laws and
amendments in order that he may
vote intelligently upon them. But the
average citizen is a pretty busy per-
son and it is too much to ask that he
read, study and inwardly digest from
four to ten pages of solid nonpareil
type containing the text of proposed
laws and amendments. 1t is not fair
to the voter to ask him to do this
and, as a matter of fact, he will not
do it.
And yet the situation in this respect
is not quite as bad as some persons
try to make out. If the law is SIM
pie issue upon which voter can read
lily form an opinion, he is ready to
give his verdict. 1t is only upon COM
plicated questions that he refuses to
plunge and place the seal of his ap-
proval. This is we'll illustrated by
two proposed laws, which were No.
and No. upon the ballot. The
first was a good roads question,
whether or not the people desired an
additional half mill tax. The majority
vote in the state was 10000. And yet
the very next proposal upon the bal
lot was to make newspapers public
utilities, and this was beaten by 5O,-
900. Here was a clear overturn OF
10000 votes on two questions which
were right together upon the ballot.
The reason was because both propo-
sitions were simple and readily COM
pretended. But for this very reason
the people refused to give their sane
ton to the additions to the public util-
tiles bills because it was too compli-
Gated a question for them to answer.
They voted "No" because they didn't
know.
But, the people say that the legis-
lature is not responsive to public
sentiment and that, therefore, they
are obliged to invoke the initiative
and referendum. The answer to this
is that out of the so laws and amend
ments two years ago, which were
deemed Of such vital Importance to
the liberties of the people, only one,
the prohibition amendment, GANG up

taken at the last election construction
will soon be commenced on such a
system of highways as will make Col
orado the greatest pleasure seeking
state in the world. Homeseekers and
investors always follow such improve
ments, and this state therefore faces
what has been rightfully termed the
most constructive work ever under
taken"
The adoption by the people of the
half mill levy bill is the result of a
campaign which has long been waged
by the Colorado Good Roads Associa.
ton, aided by the County Commits
sioners' Association of this state. AS
a result of the unqualified endorse
ment of the work of these associa-
tons the annual meeting of the Col
oradO Good Roads Association which
will be held in Denver in January will
be the greatest good roads gathering
ever held in the state, not excepting
the Pueblo convention.
This gathering will also be tire
most important ever held because of
the fact that by reason Of the adoption
of the half mill levy bill funds are
now placed in the hands of the state
to aid the counties in the building,
construction and maintenance Of their
roads. At this annual convention the
needs of the various sections Of the
state will be considered, new laws FOR
the proper conduct of the work of the
state highway commission will be dis
cussed and recommendations made
based upon the action of the conven-
ton.
Arrangements are already being
made to secure speakers Of promin-
ence from states adjoining Colorado.
the idea Of those having this matter
in charge being that in the construc-
ton Of our highways it should be
borne in mind what the adjoining
states are doing and special efforts
should be made by Colorado to at
once place in good shape those roads
leading through this state which con-
meet with cross-state highways Of ad-
joining commonwealths.
The annual meeting of the Colorado
Good Roads Association, followed As
it is by the meeting Of the State As
ISOLATION of County Commissioners
always brings together road enthusi-
asts from all parts of the state. Today
the people of Colorado are more in
terested in road work than ever, and
particularly are they interested in
seeing that such means of expendi-
lures for the funds which will soon be
placed at the disposal of the state
highway commission, be made as will
insure not only dollars worth of
work for each dollar expended, but
further that in the construction of
these highways every part Of the 81. te
be equally favored.
The exact dates of this convention
will probably be fixed some time dir
ing the first week of December at
which time arrangements will also be
made for the appointment of del
gates, etc. Further details of the pro-
gram to be considered will also be
made public within the next couple of
weeks.

Comparing the six suffrage States
of Wyoming, Colorado. Utah. Wash

six nearest male-suffrage States with
approximately the same area North

the six male-suffrage States have 20
