said:

A DRY FARMING BULLETIN

The Colorado Agricultural College in
cooperation with the United States De
partment OF Agriculture has just -
sued a bulletin entitled, ''Dry Farming
in the Plains Region In this -
page pamphlet the subject OF soil mois-
ture under dry farming conditions Is
very ably treated by Alvin keyser; an
other article tells of the construction
of silos and also gives the table as ID
cost of one of these almost indispen-
sable articles. Another article by w.
L. Vaplon deals with poultry ON the
plains and furnishes some splendid ia
.structions for poultry house ut a cost
which every dry farmer can afford.
Another article by r. McCann, deputy
dairy commissioner for Colorado, treats
of dairying from the standpoint of the
dry farmer. This bulletin may be OBJ
tanned by writing to the Extension De-
partment of the Colorado Agricultural
college, Fort Collins, Colo.

Shows How Supreme Cour
0rta Nay Be Applied
b TbWa1t Justice
DEFENDANTS SUPREME

Now that the majority of the su-
preme court have given judicial con
struction to the statute law providing
for the disqualification of judges, we
should consider the full scope and eff
feet of it. i think that the statute
should be SO amended that when the
issue of prejudice is raised against the
trial Judge by the defendant or his
council the judge may have the oppor-
tunity to present his own side.
"Under the law, rs it is now inter
preted by the supreme court, the fe-
fendant can present in affidavit form
any statement or conclusion, no matter
how untrue or exaggerated, and the
trial Judge cannot submit in the record
one fact or statement in denial. The
supreme court passes upon the issue
of bias of the trial judge from the af-
fidavits of the defendants, his attor-
neys and his friends only. There is not
word of refutation allowed in the
record from the judge himself.
"Let us get away from the strike
cases and apply this, for instance, to
a concrete case. The judge is about to
sit in the trial of liquor case. the
defendant doesn't want him, but he
wants some other judge. The defend
ant IS attorneys file an affidavit against
this Judge. The defendant sets forth
in this affidavit that on a certain day,
in a certain town, at a certain hotel,
he met the judge and the judge told
him that he was prejudiced against
him. This statement wholly undenied
goes before the supreme court. Now,
suppose the truth is that this judge
is not prejudiced against the defend
ant, suppose the defendant who made
that statement is An ex-c0nvict ana
wholly incredible; suppose that the
Judge never was in that town; that
the Judge never was in that hotel ;
that the Judge never saw the defendant
before that morning in court and that
the judge never made such state
ment. Still not one Of these facts car
be heard or considered BY the supreme
court. Therefore, it lies absolutely ~

intended to try and put Denver wet
under the Rush amendment at the
spring election and that they would not
participate in the fall election.
Instead of doing this, they went
into the fall election, fought as hard
as they knew how, and when they lost
they decided to steal what the other
fellow gained. Their position is worse
than the fellow who throws horse
race ON the gambler who isn't even
decent. However, the people of this
state are equal to the emergency.
Denver is going to be dry after the first
of the year. Prosecutions will follow
Immediately if there are any saloons
open and the law will be enforced even
to the extent of Furnishing those who
own the buildings in which saloons are
conducted.''
The occasion for Governor Carlson
thus speaking arose from the fact thai
he had just had conference with the
attorney general and the city attorney
over the matter of Denver issuing sa-
loon licenses. Under the charter of the
city of Denver, licenses cannot be IS
sued for less period than six months.
Governor Carlson wants the city OF
Denver to date all of the licenses from
now ON as of July the frstf and then
refund to the saloon keepers the amount
due them according as the license does
not run the full six months. City At
torney Marsh is of the opinion that
this cannot Be done. He says many Of
the licenses are renewals and could NO!
be dated back of the date when the old
license expires, also many Of the ID
censes are granted on petitions and
could not be dated back of the date on
which the petitions are signed.
Attorney General Farrar wants the
state and the city to join in an apPii
cation to the supreme court to take
original jurisdiction in the matter and
present al Of the questions at issot

from the lower court. However, under
the constitutional amendment adopted
two years ago, district court have not
the right to declare a section of the
constitution unconstitutional and the
only question at issue between Denver
and the state is a constitutional ques-
tion. The point is, does the home rule
bill or constitutional amendment give
cities working under its provisioas

tive of the constitutional provision max

7. NJ. GIBB,
CHARLES w. TAYLOR, Chairman
Secretary.
Yesterday Mr.. Wyman, who for
many years has been looking into the
future of Colorado road making as few
men have done and who has recently
witnessed the fulfillment of many of
his prophecies of few years ago in
regard to road building said to the
Post representative:
"The road is altogether feasible and
for a mountain road will be very easy
of construction, and when we consider
its great value in future years ! think
it is plain that We should lose no time
in beginning and completing the CON
structiOn of this much needed road.
"From Somerset to the top of the
range at Mcclure pass is % miles,
from the top of the range to RedstOne
u nix miles, making IS Ailes Of -e0a,-
struction necessary to connect two
state highways and provide a means
of communication between two near
but now widely separated sections
"Of this 35 miles, three miles above
Redstone is already finished, thus leav-
ing but 32 miles of construction. From
Somerset to the Adams ranch, dis
tance of about six miles is light work.
81 estimate that the probable cost
of construction is $50 mile. Consid-
ering that this is for building an auto
mobile road over a mountain range,
you must admit that this is a very
reasonable figure. A great many of
our mountain roads have cost us 5000
mile or more just for the rock work
piece Of road only half mile in
length which cost over $1,000 but they
had to have it and they paid the
price,
Our people were very much inter
, ested in hearing Mr.. Wyman declare
that for a mountain pass road the pro-
posed road from Somerset to Redstone
was one of the easiest and most feas
ible of construction he knows anything
about.
f, First of all he has advised that a
survey of the line be made and filed
with the state highway commission.
This will give us standing with the
commission and would doubtless lead
to the acceptance of the route by that
body and then it will be only a ques-
tion of finances and in view of the
Very moderate cost our commissioner
feel no uneasiness upon that score.
Mr.. lGoorehead Enthusiastic
"The Mcclure pass road offers no
obstacles to the roadbuilder," said J.
E. Moorehead Of the Grand Junction
Daily Sentinel who was a member It
the inspection party which arrived in
Redstone Wednesday, night. Mr..
Moorehead motored to Glenwood last
Thursday morning.
"To the summit of the pass lie
continued, "the route will be an easy
grade with few and inexpensive
bridges, practically NO rock work aud
will open up all the way imitless areas
which is either now taken up by hons
steaders or is merely awaiting such All
outlet as the highway would furnish.
