BOYS GARDEN CLUB

The boys that are members of the
Garden club are doing some very good
work of late on their gardens and
should be encouraged by their parents
and the town people.
Early in the season the boys com.
menced work under the direction of
Mr.. Bert Cross, but owing to the diff
culties Of leveling the ground, which
was in sage brush, and getting it IN
shape for planting, the additional BUG
den of sprinkling, some of the boys
became discouraged and discontinued
the work.
AT the opening of the summer school
Mr.. Cross was obliged to leave and this
work was then taken up by commit
tee consisting of Mr.. Charles H. King,
Mr.. A. E. Dow, Mr.. y. J. Kirwan and
Mr.. William Cross. Mr.. King is head
of the committee and is acting as
leader Of the boys club work. These
gentlemen have lessened the burdens

gardens so that the boys are now able
to irrigate and renewed interest has
been the result.
A new work of this nature is not
easily introduced and it needs the sup
port and interest of the community and
where mistakes have been made we
want to work to overcome them and il
the work is encouraged by parents and
citizens the boys may be taught indus
try and given some information that
will be of use to them in life and the
interest aroused will also help to keep
them off the streets and from formin g
bad habits.

white as that of corpse, and unpro-
tected from the rays of the sun, flies
crawling in his open mouth, his chin,
mouth and shirt front slimed with
vomit-an example of the paralyzing,
drugging effect of beer.
However, if there happens to be any
person in Colorado, who, in spite Of
scientists, doctors and judges, in spite
of the experience and observations of
all others, still has some doubt as to
the Intoxicating qualities of beer, one
hour of liberal testing and experiment
ing upon himself would erase the last
shadow of this doubt for the rest Of
his life time. Think of the United
Brewers association of America spend
ing countless thousands of dollars to
have beer constitutionally declared o
non-intoxicating liquor, when if it were
SO in fact every court in the state
would be bound, under all existing laws
without any constitutional change what
ever, to judicially declare it legal and
lawful commodity. .i -l,r .a n
This petition now filed with the Sec
retary Of state seeks to make the con-
stitution of Colorado say that beer is
a Notwithstanding liquor, when there
can be no question but that it is in fact
m intoxicating liquor.
Think of the consciences Of those
who would present such . petition.
Think Of the thoughtlessness Of those
who would sign 1t. Conscienceless mea
and women would make our constitu-
tion, the fundamental law Of this state,
a document that our children read and

provided, however that all beer
shall be sold in unbroken packages
and delivered directly to the con-
sumer at his residence.D Ft

sumner at his residence
This proposed amendment of the
state constitution, in my judgment, in
wolves principle that is the most
serious of any that SO far has been
presented to the citizens of Colorado.
Although I have strongly felt th,t
the forces of intemperance have such
corrupting and destructive power that
their Punishment is the most important
work before the present generation, yet
I believe that the present bill, initiated
by the United Brewers association of
America, creates new issue even more
pressingly important than the issue Of
intemperance. A falsehood has against
it the ban of the Bible; the penitel-
tiary yawns for the man who gives
false testimony upon the witness stand;
a like penalty is provided for the per
son who gets your property or money
by false representations. So far our.
teachers have taught our youth that
truth is sacred. So far, Colorado par
ents have instructed their children that
it is wrong to lie. ...-.
Let us see-is beer a Intoxicating
liquor? -... s
All the scientists who have analyzei
its contents think that beer is an intox-
icating liquor and not non-intoxicat-
ing liquor. All the doctors who have
noted some of it's sickening effects
share the same opinion. Every police
man who has seen how it makes men
stagger has an idea that beer is an in
toxicating liquor. Our courts in innum-
cradle cases have judicially declared
beer to be an intoxicating liquor. Last
January, when the "dry' law went in-
to operation providing a penalty against
traffic in intoxicating liquors, the brew
erymen Immediately stopped the manu-
facture and sale of beer, ceased their
beer advertisements, whitewashed out
or pulled down their beer signs. At
that time at least they must have had
slight suspicion that beer was into2-
icating. l imagine that if you should
tell drunkard, barkeeper or SALON
man that beer was Misunderstanding he
would laugh in your face. Many here,
no doubt, have memory picture of
creature, presumably human, lying on
his back in the dirt, few feet from
the sidewalk, stupefied, senseless, stiff,
wholly motionless except for the siren
uous action of his nostrils, his face

This photograph shows the three large
buildings being constructed from the
appropriation made by the last legis-
lature, which will be ready for occu-
pancy about September 1st and which
will accommodate the surplus insane

the other counties Of the state. h. o..
When the eighteenth general assem-
bly, met in January. 1911, there were
about one hundred and fifty insane be-
ing taken care of by the different coun-
ties because of a lack of room at the
state asylum. That assembly and ad-
ministration provided no funds for new
buildings to house the insane and re-
lieve this pressure on the counties.
When the nineteenth general assembly
met in January, 1918, about two hun
dred and fifty insane were being cared
for by the different counties and that
assembly and administration also failed
to provide funds. Because Of the me-
glect Of these two assemblies and ad-
ministrations to provide accommoda-
tions at the state asylum for the nat
ural increase Of the insane, when the
twentieth general assembly met in 1915
there were three hundred and fifty in.

Governor Carlson and a Re.
publican Legislature Have
Not Been Dire|ect
.RUsHEs IMPROVEMENTS

So much has been said concerning
the state obligation to its unfortunate
insane wards and the lack of adequate
accommodations for these people in the
state institution for that purpose at
Pueblo that it is but fair that the ad-
ministration side of the controversy be
given some publicity. ~.
The, Post regards it as somewhat
singular that the chief criticism against
the present conditions which all admit
are not what they should be should
come from members of the Democratic
party which when in power made no
effort whatever to correct the evils
which they are now so free to criticise.
1t was Governor Carlson and a Ra-
publican legislature which led the way
to better conditions and through their
efforts the insane of the state are soon
to be cared for in much better man
ner than ever before.
Governor Carlson has made very
plain statement of the matter, which is
as follows: -+.-.. .tf rr. 7sl4
Certain interests in Denver are seek
ing to convey the impression. that this
state administration has done nothing
to provide for the surplus insane now
being taken care of by the different
counties. There has been considerable
discussion on the matter, and in. order
that there may be no misunderstanding
of the attitude of this administration,
and that the extent of its efforts to re.
lieve the situation may be made known
to the public in manner beyond dis
pute, the accompanying cut, made from

Corporations Serving Public
Must Comply With Rules
For Public Benefit
GLENwo0D AFFECTED

The Colorado Public Utilities COM
mission on Friday held hearing ON
proposed operating rules which, when
made effective, will govern the condi
tions under which the electric light, gas
and water plants in Colorado conduct
their business. The rules apply with
equal force to utilities privately or
municipality owned.
Among the matters covered by these
rules are the utility's methods of rend-
ering bills to it's customers, its prac-
accuracy of meters, the precautions it
adopts to keep it's plant in safe con-
dition so that the public is protected
against actual injury. Also each utility
is enjoined to give customers all possi-
BILE information that will enable the Gus
toner to use the company's service to
the best advantage and in tine most
economical manner
A cursory glance at the rules might
lead one to say that they were some
what drastic in their nature, but reflec-
tion shows that they are virtually a
Standardization of accepted good prac
tice on each of the points covered. For
instance, most electric light companies
make it practice to test their metegs
at least once in every two or three
| three years, as stated in one of these
rules. This is as much protection for
the company as for the customer since
experience has shown that at the end
of three years about seventy-five per
cent Of the meters are running slow
while only very small percentage will
show any appreciablc errer above the
correct rate.
The rules contain an interesting pro-
vision in regard to meter testing where
a dispute arises. As the rule now
stands, any customer may require the
company to test his meter, providing
the meter has not been tested by the
company in the regular course during
the preceding year and also provided
that the customer is willing to accept
the result of such test as the basis
for any settlement of the disputed bill
If the customer is unwilling to trust
the company he may have the test made
by an inspector of the Utilities COM
mission upon depositing a fee of two
dollars with the commission. If the
meter is found to be more than two per
cent fast, the company is required to r"-
imburse the customer for the fee, but
if the meter is found correct or slow,
then the customer forfeits the fee.
Bills must be made out so that the
customer can check the amount by his
meter or if tie charge is ON another
basis than a meter, the bill must show
how the charge is figured This last
rule will no, materially affect one of
the ligM companies in this city which
has for number of years shown ali
the facts required on its bills, but it
will affect the city water works, since
after these rules 20 into effect bills for
water rent must show the number OF
rooms for which charge is made and
the rate on which the charge is based
Each utility is also required to show its
customers how to read meters so that

our insane asylum demands prompt
relief. To meet this most pressing
need sufficient appropriation should
be made to purchase additional land
and erect necessary buildings.''
The assembly, appreciating the seri-
business of the problem, appropriated in
round numbers 1925 100000 (the largest
appropriation made for any purpose) to
construct and equip the buildings
shown in this photograph.
DR.. Sharpley of Denver, one of the
coterie of critics, was state senator
from Denver county during the 1911
and '13 sessions of the legislature just
referred to. An examination of the leg
islature's records, shows that he intro
duced no bill for the relief of the in
sane in Denver or any other county and
that while he was state senator not a
single building was constructed TO
house the insane then being cared for
by the different counties. If Dr.. Sharp
ley had been equally as eager to re'
ieve Denver county of the care of the
insane when he was state senator, this
administration might not have had a
triple burden imposed upon it.
However, this burden was assumed
willingly and we are not concerned with
the failure of these past two admins
trations to do their duty. l simply
want to make it clear that this admin
istration recognized the need, provided
generous appropriation and construct
ed the buildings which will soon house
the surplus insane now in the differens
counties. Hs
