WE HAVE ENOUGH
NATIONAL PARKS

Before the old commission form of
government in Denver became de-
funct, its members forwarded a reso-
luton to each of cur U. S. senators
and members of congress, praying
them to vote for the bill introduced
by Congressman Hilliard, creating a
national park out of the Mt. Evans
mineral country in Colorado.
Since his retirement, Commissioners
Greenlee has received reply from
U. S. Senator Charles S. Thomas.
in which he states that one national
park, properly cared for. is enough
for any state. Colorado aleady has
three national parks, and thds ought
to be enough to keep the Motor club
busy on improvements for the next
fifty years without further conces-
sions.
The senator further points out
that this particular locality is in the
heart of one OF the greatest mineral
belts In Colorado, and many rare
minerals, known and unknown, may
be discovered in this tract, that may
be of more benefit to the state in
wealth and population than all the
parks combined. To be exact we
will quote his language: 'One good
mining camp is worth more to Colo
RADIO in substantial and permanent
benefit than park systems or forest
reservations"
1t is to be hoped that all Colorado IS
delegation in congress, especially
Messrs. Heating and Taylor, who
represent the mineral counties, hold
the same view as Senator Thomas.
Colorado Of late, has had many fads
that have proven ruinous to the state
and its many interests, and 1t is to
be hoped that our delegation in
congress will view this matter in a
sane light, and forever prevent any
more of our mountain lands being
converted into national parks.

PROSPERITY, UNPARALLELED

Official data showing unparalleled
prosperity in all parts OF the United
States, nail the lid down good and
tight uron the coffins of calamity
howlers.
According to figures just made pub
lie by the bureau Of foreign and do
mestc commerce, department of COM
msrce, exports for last March exceed
ed 41O millions OF dollars In value.
This beats the February high record
by Z millions. 1t is 113 millions
above the amount recorded in March,
1915, and is nearly double the March
average for the past five years.
In THE nine months of the current
fiscal year ending with March the
total American exports is but 8
millions short of billion dollars.
This Is one billion dollars more than
the record for any corresponding
nine months period in the history
Of the United States. And, since the
wcrld began, no other nation has
sold its products abroad on so gigan-
tic scale.
TIE bureau of labor statistics, de-
partment of labor, now prepares data
every month upon employment condi-
tions in the principal industries. The
May report is just out. 1t includes
figures upon the earnings of employ
ees in the establishments reporting.
The payroll of 139 establishments in
the iron and steel industries amount
ed to $5,167 ,92O In March, 1916, as
compared with $3.223.996 in March,
1915. In other words, these iron and
steel concerns are paying their en-
ployees nearly $2,OOO,OOO more
month than they were year ago.
The increases for March of this year
over March of last year in the pay
rolls OF establishments reporting in
other industries follow: Car build
ing and repairing. 100000; boots
and shoes, $230,O0O; hosiery and un-
derwear, $4,000; silk, $4,000; etc.
To put the matter in different
way, an increased schedule Of wages
went into effect on May 1. affecting
706,500 men, in various lines of I'M
dustry, amounting to $5,36s,S72 a
month, according to figures sent out
by the United Press Association. Two
days later, 10000 anthracite miners
received a wage increase which ag-
gregates $4,000, 900 per annum.
Among the industries participating
IN the general increase are the fol-
lowing:
10 per cent-Paint manufacturing
industries.
II per cent-Automobile and auto
parts industries.

BUSINESS BOOM FOR ONCE NOT
BORN OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGE

IL IS admltteQ frankly by everyone
that great prosperity has come to
the United States. Even the opposi-
ton party, seeking to be restored to
power, admits that. The only objec-
tions that the Republicans raise to
the present prosperity are, first, that
only Republican administrations are
supposed to create prosperity; Sec
ond, that prospe rity is not attribut-
able to the Democratic administra-
tiop. anyway; third, that while the
country Is admittedly prosperous, it
will not last.
ut is all based on munitions of
war" the Republican critics of pros
perity say, land when the war is over
it will go flooey."
What are the facts? H'
Ratio Of War Business Small.
The official figures of the Depart
ment of Commerce show that the
countrys so-called "war business"
does not exceed five per cent Of its
total industrial and commercial ac-
tivity. The United States Steel Cor
poration handles no war business"
and yet it is now doing a record
breaking business.
For the third month in succession
the steel corporation has reported a
new high record in untitled orders.
The tonnage as of April 30, 1916, was
9,S29, ,551 tons, an increase of 49S,55O
tons over the business booked at the
end of March. TIE phenomenal show
ing for recent months indicates not
merely of the company itself and
the steady employment Of thousands
of men engaged in the steel plants,
but also tells the story of new bridges
being built, new rails being laid, and
new steel buildings constructed in
various parts of tie country. In all
in building operations which is re-
Elected In the report of the steel cor
poration.
Reaches All Industries.
The trade and financial journals
bear testimony to the fact that pros
perity has permeated ever industry
in the United States. The banking
and currency law written upon the
statute books by the Democratic nd
ministration protects the country in
the future against financial disturb
ance. The tariff commission bill,
which has the support of President
Wilson and the Democratic party, will
prevent any future disturbance from
tariff agitation, giving the nation a
permanent tariff policy.
Laws regulating the large corpora
tions Of the country are how upon
an established and well-understood
basis. The Federal Trade Commits
sion. which has been so generally APP
proved by business men, has recon-
mended on amendment to the anti
trust laws to permit cooperation
among American manufacturers for
foreign trade. so that they may bet.

tions, and under the Democratic ad.
ministration nothing has been left
undone to insure the welfare OF bus
mess men. while justice Ia been

RING UP THE DEAD WAGON

The Colorado Springs Gazette has
always been noted as one OF the
great Republican newspapers Of Col
orado. Ito columns evade the sensa-
tional, and It's editorials are most re-
Liable. The following editorial eu-
plains their predictions Of Republican
succe IS, II Carlson is again nominat-
ed:
Governor Carlson is not wanted as
gubernatorial candidate by members
Of his own party. They believe that
he will lead the party TO sure defeat;
and, what is more, they know that
he is unfit for the position of gov
ernor.
1t u strange situation that the
Republican leaders as we'll as the
rank and file OF the party, say OPEN
ly that Carlson cannot win and that
he Is not fitted for the governorship.
yet at the same time permit him to
wreck their party. Mr.. Carlson's
personal ambition brooking no inter-
ference, and the apparent inability
OF his opponents to break down the
domination Of Vivian, mean certain
defeat for the party in November.
Governor Carlson, as the candidate
Of the Republican party for governor
will mean q Democratic adminfstra-
ton for Colorado. The only hope left
Is that some OF the Republican lead
ers who are known to be men OF
vision and with the best interests of
the state heart, have the nerve to
come forward and demand that the
Republican state organization be freed
from the prenicious influences which
are now paving the way for a Demo-
cratic victory in November.

HIGH COST LIVING |S DUE TO THE
 DEMOCRATS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. Under the Wilson administration and the Democratic tariff law the cost to the people of the United States for fifteen articles of food alone has increased in the last four years approximately one seventh.
 An American family, under the Taft administration, that spent $500 per year for these foods, is now paying for the same articles under the Will son administration $342 annually
 Figuring five persons to a family, this is an increase of $S.40 for every man, woman and child in the United States, or the stupendous total of more than $SOO,O0O.0OO.
 Under the Underwood tariff law and the Wilson administration the high cost of living Las increased by leaps and bounds.
 Since June, 1912, up to June, 1916 according to the latest available gov eTnmeut statistics there has heen an increase of II per cent in most of the staple foods.
 The Democrats have not kept their promise, made in the Baltimore plat 1 form, to reduce the high cost of liy ing. On the contrary, every family ir the United States is paying higher prices for the principal articles oi food, IA per cent higher than it cost them under the Taft administration

and a Republican tariff law.

and a Republican tariff law.
 In the Baltimore platform, on which Wilson was elected president, is the following plank:
 The high cost of living is a serious problem in every American home. The Republican party, in it's platform, at tempts to escape from responsibility for present conditions by denying that they are due to a productive tariff We take issue with them on this sub ject, and charge that excessive prices result in a large measure from the high tariff laws enacted and main tained by the Republican party and from such trusts and commercial con spiracies fostered and encouraged by such laws, and we assert that no sub stantial relief can be secured for the people without import duties on the necessaries of life are materially re- duced and these criminal conspiracies broken up"
 A 14 per cent increase in the cost of the principal foodstuffs Is the way the Democrats and the Wilson admin istration have kept this pledge to the people.
 A table prepared by the bureau of labor statistics of the department of labor, shows relative prices of 16 of the principal articles of food in June of each year. 1912 to 1916, included. To form basis for the table the price for June. 1912, Is placed at 100, and the price for each succeeding year is figured accordingly by the bureau of statistics.
 A careful calculation of this table shows that with 100 as a basis for 1912, the 1916 percentage is IA, or an in- crease Of l4 per cent in the cost of the combined foodstuffs since the deelar' ation of the Democratic platform.

NEW BATTLESHIP CALIFORNIA
 \ MARVEL

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21. - Les sons of the European war, especially those taught by submarines and tor pedo attack, have been so we'll ana. lyzed by United States naval eonstruc- tors that the new oil and electric super-dreadnaught California will be able to make port in spite of numer- ous and several torpedo wounds, say navy engineers
 The 1922 bluejackets who will man the battleship under 5S officers, how ever. probably will divide their ad- miration between this. her dozen four teen-inch guns, and some of the many electrical devices such as the electric potato peeler in the galley, the electric driven lee cream freezer. or the cleo tric dish washing machine with a ca pacity of 1000 dishes per hour.
 Use of electricity on the California begins with the main engines, driven by moters supplied with current by generators turned by steam turbines of 2S,0OO horsepower. There will be practically no work done on shipboard directly by steam, and the black gang" of tradition. instead of heav- ing tons of coal per hour into ever hungry furnaces, will manipulate lev CTS controlling oil burners under the boilers. These latter will be the usual water tube type. but Kew methods of installation have been devised for practically all the California's engine and boiler room equipment, it is said.
 It is understood that the new tor pedo and mine proof construction is gained largely by an improved method of bulkhead building The bulkheads are to be of steel, but less rigid than the ordinary types. and resistance is said to have been increased 25 to 30 per cent.

The final bill could not have been passed without the aid of Republicans. Of course, the Demo, cratic administration favored the mea- ure, but no one person did so much as Wickersham to secure its passage The same thing is true as to the terri, torial government bill and other mea, sures of vital benefit to the people Of Alaska.
