Denver.-A bill has been Introduced
In the House and the Senate appropri.
ating $4,000 for the Board OF Immi.
grafton to be used for the purpose OF
gathering statistics on the agricultu.
raj, mining and industrial production
OF each county In the state and to I'D.
vertise to settlers. tourists and invest.
ors the advantages and resources Of
Colorado for the next two years.
This bill has the endorsement Of the
Colorado Association Of Commercial
Executives and the Colorado State
Chamber Of Commerce. both Of which
organizations have agreed with the
governor to give their unanimous sup
port and assistance to make the Board
Of Immigration an investment for the
State Of Colorado, rather than An ex-
pense.
Every year for ten years after the
Franco Prussian war In 1870. over $780,
300 Germans emigrated to this coun-
try. The same has been true regard.
ing emigration from European coun-
tries ever since the Napoleonic wars.
One year 1t reached AZ high a. 100000.

migration board to secure our share Of
the peace-loying farmers and citizens
OF Europe when the present war ID
over they will settle In all of the rest
Of the ives s,rn states and Colorado Will
be left out in the cold.
Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, wy
oming, Montana, Idaho and Utah each
have an active board Of immigration
with an appropriation sufficient to
carry on the work of securing settlers.
The result is that during the past five
years the population Of these states
have all increased IN much larger
proportion than that Of Colorado. they
are securing the farmers and sons Of
farmers from the corn belt states. II
Colorado had an active board OF immi'
grafton, with the support Of all Sec
tons Of the state, to invite, them, We
could get 5000 to 10000 Of these farm
ers every year, who know how TO farm
and have money to farm with.
II the population Of Colorado. out

be doubled in the next ten years, Colo
