Denver. Aug. Is, 1916.


Few persons other than those di-
rectly interested realize the vast i'm
proyement that has taken place in
the financial condition of the state
during the last year and half.
The creditors of the state. however,
who frequently had to assign their ac
counts against the state at a heavy
discount, realize it. The heads of the
educational institutions, who often
were at their wits ends to devise ways
and means to keep their doors open.
realize it. and so do those who have
charge of the states unfortunate and
criminal classes.
Two years ago (Aug. 10. 1910 the
current Indebtedness of the state rep
resented by uncalled warrants was
sS95.726.2s. BY January 10. 1915. when
this administration took charge. this
amount had been increased to $780,.
10000. On August 10. 1916, this had
been reduced to s3s3.516.59. This is
a reduction of over $500, 10000 or at
the rate of more than $1,000 a day
since this Republican administration
went into power.
This splendid record has been made
possible by the harmony that has ex-
listed among the state officials in their
determination to prevent extravagance
and secure for the state full value for
every dollar expended. and by the un-
usually large amount realized from the
Inheritance tax Already for this BIZ
ennial period over a million dollars
have been received from this source.
This has enabled the state treasurer
to pay in full every appropriation made
by the legislature. to pay large num-
Der of unpaid bills incurred by the
last Democratic administration lin
ciuding a deficit OF over $4,000 in
penitentiary maintenance) and to ac-
cumulate a surplus of approximately
5000. 900.
At the same time the demands of a

growing and prosperous state have
been met promptly and amply. En-.
largements costing over 100000 have
been made to the insane asylum; $70,.
900 has gone for improvements at the
State Agricultural college; $4,000 for
the same purpose to the State uni
versity; s5o,000 for the expenses OF
the new industrial commission: $50, 900
TO the utilities commission; $500 to
the survey committee of state affairs
and $1,000 to enforce the prohibitory
act, while over 100000 have been re.
ceived to build and improve the high
ways of the state.
During the last Shafroth admins.
tration the Agricultural college re
cefved s254.s0s91. During the Am
mons administration it received $27s.
1857. and during this administration
it win receive s4O2.427.s0.
During the three same periods the
Greeley Normal School received s202
s21.34. s22O.O4O.o4 and 1856. 1882.
The State University during the
same three periods received 1896,
406-55; s461.412.67 and $500 1864.
The State Insane Asylum. during
the same period. received 3T4,742.43;
$3s9. .3S2.70 and 1891. .2343S.
, Certificates of Indebtedness have an
been called in; State Bonds command
premium. and the state treasurer
has on deposit in various banks ovel
s2.400.ooo as against less than 1900
900 year ago.
These figures should fill every pat
riotic citizen with pride for they at
, test not only the growing wealth anC
population of the state. but they al
so Enthusiastically show the determine
tion OF the law makers and the execu
tive officers to properly care for the
unfortunates and to generously sup
port those institutions that make fol
better educated. more efficient ant
happier citizenship.

ANTI-SALOOM LEAGUE
FAvORS GOV. CARLSON

The Democratic party has but one
choice for governor. namely. Judge
Julius C. Gunter, who is an accept
able candidate to the Temperance
forces; hence, in the Democratic party
there will be no primary contest. But
in the Republican party it is different.
and the Temperance forces are deeply
concerned in the result of this prim-
airy contest
In 1914. the citizens OF Colorado not
only voted for State Wide Prohibition.
but by an overwhelming majority elect
ed George A. Carlson as their COVER
nor. They did this because of his
record as dry man. and because
of his pledge to feariessly enforce the
dry" law IL it carried at the polls.
Since the day Governor Carlson was
elected he has more than kept every
pledge he made. and he aided at every
critical stage in the passage OF our
splendid Law Enforcement Act. He
has given time and thought and
energy to the rigid enforcement OF the
law in every part of Colorado. and IL
ever man deserved a vote from the
Temperance people OF this state on
the record of what he has accomplish
ed for them. that man is George A.
Carlson
Samuel n. Nicholson. of Leadville.
is also an aspirant for the nomination
for governor on the Republican ticket.
Two years ago. when we were in the
midst Of the fight for state wide prohi-
bition. Mr.. Nicholson then was in fa-
vor OF local option. He now says
that the people have passed upon the
prohibition question. and that he Is
against the Beer amendment and for
the rigid enforcement of the prohibi.
ton law. Unfortunately. however. for
Mr.. Nicholson. every liquor interest in
the state Is behind his candidacy. and
in spite OF his own attitude. they are
a dead weight upon his political aspir-
atoms.
Respectfully yours.

COLORADO.

MERLE VINCENT TURNS
DOWN PRIMARY LAW

Denver. Colo. Aug. 21.-Merle Vim
cent of Paonia. one of the original
Progressives. advocate of primary re
forms and Initiative and referendum
has abandoned some of his advance
beliefs. He ran for Congress in the
assembly but declines to run against
another candidate through the prim-
airy. He says that he doesn't like the
primary game.
In discussing the primary law. Mr.,
Vincent said. "It has not proven TO be
as beneficial as we who fathered IL
hoped II would. In the first place IT
is too expensive. In the second place
a good man in any section OF the state
who has not made himself prominent
In state affairs can hardly hope to win
q primary nomination. II he Is com.
peting against a man who is well
known. Again 1t tends TO get the can
didate from the thickiy populated cen.
ters. must say that II has not pro
duced a strong list of candidates on
either OF the two tickets this year.
With but few exceptions the men are
not up to the average. The greatest
drawback to the primary law though
is the terrific expense TO which the
candidate Is placed in making two
campaigns"
Mr.. Vincent did not offer any sug-
gestions as to how these defects
could be remedied.

COMPLAINT IS LODGEO
AGAINST RIO GRAMDE
ACCOUNT POOR SERVICE

Denver. Colo. August 21.--Apparent
inability of the Denver G Rio Grande
Railroad company to maintain its pres
ent schedule for Passenger trains Is
and 16, and their connections, has
caused the state public utilities COM
mission to institute case against that
company in an endeayor to either en-
force observance of existing schedules
or to re-arrange the schedules so
these trains may be operated on time.
This action results from the reports
OF inspectors for the commission. who
recently have devoted several weeks
Investigating conditions. following
months of effort upon the part OF the
commission to informally bring abou.
betterment of train operation on TIE
Rio Grande.
Trains Is and 16. and their connec-
tions. transport a majority of CoIora-
doans travelling between points in the
state and furnish service to more
points in the state thar any other
trains operated by any of the railroads
in Colorado.
Investigation by the commission
ers and by inspectors for the commits
sion developed the fact that these
trains are delayed more than SO per-
cent OF the time in arriving and depart
ing from some Of the division points,
as well as intermediate stations, thus
making the service rendered extreme
ly uncertain and irregular. These
delays are laid TO many causes. such
as insufficient allowance OF dead
time" at points where transfers of
baggage. express and parcels post are
made, poor track conditions. lack OF
sufficient help. etc Another cause for
delay is necessity for awaiting the ar
rival of delayed connecting trains on
other roads.
The commission announces that in
! Instituting this investigation and set
ting the case for hearing at 10 o'clock
a. m. Tuesday. Sept 26. II is actuated
by the desire to give the people of
Colorado train service in conformity
with the fares paid
The Investigation has been thoro.
and an inspector now is completing
final survey over the entire line serv-
ed by these trainE and connecting
trains on the Rio Grande. This inspec-
ton covers the bread gauge main line
and the narrow gauge lines from Sali-
da. Montrose. ouray, Silverton. Du-
range. .Alamosa. etc
i Numerous and continuous COM
plants against this service have been
received by the commission. and for
several months during the late winter
and early spring the consistent de-
lays were the subject Of informal cor
respondence between the Commission
and officials OF the company. For a
time the situation was alieviated
somewhat. but IL became apparent that
IL is impossible to remedy It entirely
under existing schedules and condi-
tions. Informally at least. realiza-
tion OF which caused the commission
to inaugurate this investigation and
complaint.
Hearings will be public. and any
community served by trains Is and 1s
and having cause for complaint may
register their complaints at the hear
ing.
