Sir,-The Daughters Of the Con-

There are few Of them left and they
should be made comfortable In their
dccliaing years.

and ought to make any true son blush
with shame. The soldiers at present

treasurers and all other public officers
are we'll paid, are we'll groomed. we'll

dier barely ekes out a miserable ex-
istence. Many are advocating increases
In Judges salaries, pensioning teach
ers and Judges. Let them go to work
and not support for ofTice any candi-
date who does not pledge himself to
support for increase Of pensions for
old Confederates. not farce bill like
the ptesent one.
There will be tremendous In
crease in the receipts OF taxes for the

go TO the old Vets. as will make a

tory of the Colorado Legislature" he
said.
The Rowland matter. however, he
declared. should not distract the at
tention Of the Legislature from act
ing on the pressing problems Of state
government.
In calling the Assembly to take ac-
tion upon pending legislation which.
in his opinion will make for greater
economy and efficiency in government
and generally benefit conditions
throughout the state, Governor Carl
son discussed the proposed constitu-
tional amendments to the initiative
and referendum. the half-mill levy Of
tie State Board of Capitol Managers.
the elimination Of public trustees and
deputy game wardens, the proposed
survey Of the state government and
the adoption Of the so-called short bal
lot system in Colorado.
Notwithstanding the action Of the
Senate in killing the bill for the aboli.
ton Of the Board of Capitol Man
ayers, the governor believes the same
end can be accomplished by abolish
ing the half-mill levy, which for more
than twenty years has been the source
Of revenue expended by that body and
which has been responsible largely
for its existence. AS chairman of the
board he urged the Legislature to
psas the bill abolishing the half-mill
levy.
One bill to increase the percentage
of names required for the initiation
and reference Of measures was killed
ON third reading in the House Mon
day. The governor. however, urged
the Legislature to pass the remaining
bills to bring about practically the
same end. IL adopted by the people
when submitted at the next general
election. He took a firm stand in
asking for the elimination of public
trustees and the abolition Of the stat
utory offices of deputy game commits
sloners.
House Bill ,591 and Senate Concur
rent Resolution No. were both In
dorsed strongly by the governor. These,
he pointed out, are the real efficiency
and economy measures. The first
named provides for survey OF jall
state departments. boards and bureaus
for the purpose of laying the ground
work for legislation, to be introduced
at an extra session or at the next gen.
