Congress which was held at the State
Agricultural College, the week of jan
uary 10, 1915, the following question
was put up to Senator Ehrhart, Chair
man of the State Highway Commits
sion, by one of the farmers present.
mill levy brings, going to be spent?
Will we all get our share of it and
have it spent on the roads near us or
will it be spent on other roads for the
use of the automobile owners? The
reply was that the State would con-
struct the primary roads first and
then take up the secondary roads.
l want to say to the farmers of
Colorado that the commission is ex-
actly right in this. If this commission
has money enough to build fifty miles
of good road. it is better that it should
be used for this than that it should
be spread over one hundred miles and
the road work poorly done. The
idea that some seem to have that a
little work should be done here and
there and all over the state is wrong
for we will then have a little dab of
good road, then poor road, then an
other little piece of good road and the
result will be that there are no really
good roads in Colorado at all.
When any road is selected for i'm
provement it should be built in its
entirety, then another road improved
as the money becomes available. and
so on. The result will be that some
of us will be required to wait some
years before our roads are reached
but in time it will come as we extend
our mileage of improved road, year by
year. Let the construction be such
that Colorado roads will be lasting

on consignment. One of the bills had

on consignment. One of the bills had
been prepared by the fruit growers
and the other by the commission
men. The tvs bills differed mater
tally in several points, and until last
night neither side would concede any
of their points to the other.
According to the commission men,
the bill introduced by the fruit grow
ers, if it became a law, would compel
them to cease handling Colorado fruits
on consignment because the cost of
operating under the proposed law
would entail additional expense which
would be prohibitive, with the result
that Northwest fruits would have the
preference and be handled on that
basis almost exclusively. On the
other hand, the fruit growers wanted
law which would forever put a stop
to the operations of the dishonest COM
mission man, who for years has been
robbing them of their entire earnings
and wanted all commission men so
regulated that they would be COM
PEELED to render true and proper re-
turns to the growers for their pro-
ducts.
The result was that at the meeting
of about a dozen fruit growers and
commission men, held in the office of
the Colorado Fruit Growers auxiliary
committee in the First National Bank
building last night, the Kluge bill, the
one prepared by the growers, was
amended so as to be perfectly agree
able to growers and commission men
alike. although even with the amend
ments it will entail much additional
expense upon commission men, which
they are willing to stand in return
for the compromise which the growers
made on other points. 1t was agreed
that the bill which was introduced by
the commission men shall be allowed
to be killed in the committee and
that all interests will urge for the
passage of the new Kluge bill.
Those who took part in the con-
ference last night are ]. d. Reeder
cashier of the Bank of Palisade; G.
w Bowman. a prominent fruit grower
of Palisade; w. S Furman, an attor-
ney of Palisade, all of whom spoke
for and represented the fruit growers;
Senator Kluge of Mesa county; Rep
resentative Bruce OF Delta county:
Representative Porter of Mesa county;
A. S. Donaldson and Clarence II.
Adams of Denver, representing the
commission men; Judge John C. Bell
Of the supreme court, representing
the growers of Montrose county, and
Russell II. Forbes. Secretary of the
Colorado Fruit Growers auxiliary
committee.
The commission merchants bill, as
it is known on the western slope and
in the legislature, is the most impor-
tant issue before the legislature, in
the opinion of fruit growers generally,
and intense interest throughout the
fruit sections is being manifested in
1t. The bill contains no jokers. is abb
solutely fair to both sides and will
undoubtedly be passed. 1t carries
both the safety clutch and the emer-
gence clause and will prevent the fu-
ture robbing Of growers by unscrup-
ulous and dishonest commission men
who will hereafter be unable to do
business in Colorado on account of it.

Ramer Fires Brake.

After giving Ed. Brake time and
opportunity to resign" John f.
Ramer, Secretary of the State OF
Colorado, has dismissed him as labor
commissioner, and this act will be
generally applauded.
The demand for Brakes dismissal,
after he had refused to give up his
office, was very strong by people Of
the state who had had plenty and to
spare of the Brake-Pearce rule. These
demands even took the form of open
letters addressed to Mr.. Ramer.
Following are a part Of the causes
of dismissal set forth by Mr.. Ramer:
You have failed, neglected and re-
fused to account for the moneys re-
ceived by you as deputy labor COM
missioner, as required by the laws
of the State of Colorado.
You have used the money of the
state in manner not authorized by
law and without authority of law what
soeyer.
You have used the money Of the
state for the maintenance of offices
and the payment of alleged salaries,
without right or authority.
You are indebted to the state for
money received by you as deputy la
Dor commissioner and interest on the
same not deposited by you with the
state treasurer.
You neglect the duties Of your Of
ice and are inefficient in the per
formance of the same.
You nave -ermitted employees of
your office to illegally extort money
from those doing business with your
