ing spent upon them, while others
should be abolished entirely.
If it were possible for legislature
to have a thorough and scientific in
vestigation made of the needs of each
department and of its real value to the
state, it could handle this problem in
more business like way. That is
the way a new executive would ap-
proach the understanding if he were
placed in charge of large business
establishment Whether or not the
legislature will be able to take the
time and secure the information
necessary to handle this problem re-
mains to be seen. There are some
a 700 employees of the state in vari-
GUS departments and divisions. Just
how much each of them is worth to
the state, if anything, it is the big
question for the legislature.
The other important proposition is
the consolidation of various bureaus
into one new commission, which shall
be known as the state industrial
commission, and which will deal in
broad way with all questions affect
ing commerce and industry in the
state, together with the complicated
questions which arise with respect to
the health, safety and compensation
of wage earners. One of its chief
purposes would be to prevent if pos
sible an occurrence of the industrial
strife such as we have had in the
coal districts IN the lest two years.
These two big propositions are
undoubtedly the things which will
take most of the time and attention
of the incoming administration. 1t
lis good-sized job for any man or
any legislature to tackle. And, un-
doubtedly, it will be the part of wis
dom for the assembly to devote the
larger part of its time and attention
to these proposals and not follow the
usual plan, of adding multitude of
laws to the statute books. There are
very few laws which are really need
ed in this state. Probably not to
exceed a score would accomplish all
necessary purposes. So far as we
know, there is no disposition among
members of the next assembly to
make a lot of new laws. Indeed, il
is quite likely that they will be much
more cordially thanked by the peo-
pie if they enacted few rather thar
many laws.-Colorado Springs Tele-

SPRINGS MAN OWNER
OF GERMAN IRON CROSS

COLORADO SURINGS, Jan. g.
An interesting souvenir Of the Euro
pean war is being exhibited by Man
ager George Probert Of the Postal
Telegraph company. 1t is a German
iron cross. The cross was sent to
Malcolm Foulds, messenger boy, by
his uncle, who is in the British army.
He did not state how it came into
his possession but it is supposed the
medal was picked up on battlefield
or taken from the uniform of a Ger
man prisoner.
The medal is of iron about two and
one-half inches long and in the form
of maltese cross. One one side
the cross bears an X and W and the
names Dinant, Client and Antwerp
and on the reverse Side Louvain,
Rheims, Amiens and the year 1914.

THE SENATE REVOLT.

The rejection by unanimous SEN
ate of the nomination of John d.
Lynn as United States district at
torney for the western district of
New York is emphatically to be ap-
proved and for reasons that have
nothing to do ith the appointee
personally. 1t is a sign of reawaken-
ed sense in the legislature of its
proper function, responsibility and
independence. The dominating will of
Mr. Wilson has too long imposed
its suggestions upon congress. That
body so far as its Democratic mem
bers are concerned has been the meek
receiver of the White house orders.
For the most part it has ratified
him docilely. He has been the fount
and origin of its most momentous
legislation.- York Sun.

THE PROBLEM FOR THE LEGIs.
LATURE.

The incoming Republican admins
tration in Colorado has laid out for
itself an ambitious program of legis-
lation for the Forthcoming session.
This program is both economical and
corrective in its terms. 1t is con-
ceded everywhere that there has been
large, and probably unjustifiable,
increase in the cost of conducting
the business Of the state in the last
few years. 1t is proposed to correct
this by consolidating some bureaus,
by abolishing others, and by reducing
the number Of employees in many de-
partments.
That large sum Of money can be
saved by this means is undoubtedly
true. The chief difficulty is in the
method and place in which these econ
omies are to be exercised. It is quite
possible to reduce expenditure by a
horizontal reduction of appropriations
Of every class. But, certainly this
would not be the scientific way to
do II, and probably not the best way.
Probably some departments could
justify all the money that is now be-

Government Will ojen High Line
Canal Question.


The arrival of surveyors instru-
ments in Cortez, belonging to the
government corps, is of welcome sig
nificance to this irrigation district.
This deal was partly closed two years
ago, but was interrupted by various
things. The deal to which we refer
is the one growing out Of the desire
of the government to use our high
line canal in which to convey water
from the Dolores to the Navajo
Springs agency.
Should this be finally consummated
it will mean the reconstruction and
enlargement of this canal to point
where it will be able to bear the add
ed burden thus imposed upon it. 1t
will be great aid to the government
to be able to get water in this man
ner, and will also convince the dis
trict in that the maintaining of this
canal will fall to the government, be-
sides paying cash bonus for the use
of it. This increased water will not
be furnished by the district, as we
can ultimately use all the water we
have, but additional water will De-
taken from the Dolores by ehe gov
ernment. The head men Of the sur
veying corps will be with us in Febru-
ary.
AS the government has already ap-
propriated $706,000 for the Ute
agency it looks as if it contemplated
putting water on these lands, and ul-
timately make that tribe self-support-
ing.-Cortez Journal.

MINERAL PRODUC-
TION.

1t is not at all surprising that the
output of Colorado's mines for 1914
as indicated by the preliminary fig
ures of the United States geological
survey, should show decrease in
value as compared with the produc-
tion of those mines for 1913.
There is nothing uncomplimentary
to the mineral resources of Colorado
in this showing. The decrease is
due in part to the general disturb
ance of business in this country dur
ing the year. and especially to the
falling off in the demand for metals
as result of the war in Europe. The
fact that the greatest decrease is in
zinc is highly significant, and the de-
creases in lead and copper are also
plainly the result of commercial con-
ditions and they are not due to any
failure of the mineral resources of
our state.
In bright and shining contrast with
the showing of the base metals is
that of gold, which shows an increase
of more than million and half
dollars for the year. The decrease
in silver is comparatively small, and
as result of the recent rise in the
price of the white metal it is prob
able that the production of silver in
1915 will be greater than it has been
for several years in the past.
1t should be noted that the dis
turbance in the mining industry is
likely to be only temporary, for the
conditions that have arisen as a re-
suit of the war are not permanent
conditions. American industry can
take care of the products Of the west
ein mines without assistance from
foreign manufacture, and the final re-
suit of the disturbances will be to
create n greater demand for Ameri-
can metals than has ever before ex-
listed.
In the closing weeks of the year
there is clearly evident strong indi-
cation Of reviving interest and ac-
tivity in the Colorado mining indus
try and good prospects that there
will continue to improve through the
early months OF the new year. saws
