PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
AND WoRkMENS CON-
PENSATIoN.

+ The Public Service Commission and
Workmen's Compensation departments
were established by the Legislature
of 1913, during Governor Glasscock's
administration, and are, therefore, in
their infancy as governmental agen-
cies in this state. They are both serv-
Ing useful purposes. and the wisdom
of the Legislature In inaugurating
them is to be commended. The sys-
tenn under which these departments
are operating Is not. of necessity, per-
fected as yet, and in order that they
may be brought to their highest eff
cheney 1t is necessary that our best
thought and most intelligent consid-
Grafton should be devoted thereto.
The Workmen's Compensation depart
ment, in particular, comes very close
to those engaged in toll in our state

Out of the compensation money
there is set aside $S0,00000 per year
to pay the cost of administering the
fund. The charge is made that large
part of this sum is used to pay en-
ployees whose services are not needed
pledge myself to see to it that any
such practice shall be stopped and
that every dollar Of the fund shall be
paid over to the injured and the de-
pendent widows and orphans of de-
ceased employees, except so much as
may be absolutely required for the
necessary expenses of administration.
RURAL CREDIT FOR FARMERS.
Already quite a large surplus has
accumulated in the Workmen's Com
pensation Fund. which, as time passes,
will in all probability run into millions
of dollars Under the present law
governing this fund it can only be
invested in the purchase of county,
district and municipal bonds. Bonds
of this character are usually sold in
the money markets at rate of five
per cent interest or less There is no
better security than that afforded by
our farm lands, but often it is with
difficulty, on account of their remote
ness from money centers and for 9TH
er reasons, that farmers are able to
secure loans even when offering abun-
dant security, except at usurious and
burdensome rates of interest and add
ed expenses. AS boon to the farmer,
which would directly and indirectly
benefit the whole citizenship of the
state, this money might be loaned on
farm property i'm sums not exceeding
one-half of the actual cash value, at
a rate of six per cent interest, on long
time loans OF five years or more. 1t is
possible to administer these loans at
O cost of less than one per cent, thus
allowing the fund an earning capacity
OF to exceed five per cent per annum.
OF course, the Legislature must sur
round this plan with all necessary safe
guards.

the duty of the chief executive OF The

limitation is placed upon the office OF

| for these constitutional provisions is,
obviously, to prevent the highest exc

spheres from using the large patron

purpose of perpetuating themselves in
power. Nevertheless, 1t is possible for
these officers. il they choose, to use this
I power and patronage in attempting to
dictate the nomination of their success

constitution and robbing the people

in any way, by the use of patronage
or otherwise, with the nominations Of
my party candidates. and shall con
/ tent myself with trying. to the best
of my ability, to discharge my duties,
leaving my party with full power to
make its own nominations.

SOME VALUABLE STATISTICS.
Markey's Report Shows Mineral
Valued at $45,s24,12e Mined In
Colorado in 1915.

Denver-City Auditor James A.
Markey received from the printers
the proof of his annual report, which
viii be issued within few days. The
document when complete will be diff
ferent from the formal reports of past
years, in that it will contain facts
about Denver which show the com
munity to the best advantage.
In a lengthy foreword the auditor
tells first the history OF the city and
state. The fact that Denver's net
bonded Indebtedness is $3.50 per
capita. the lowest of any city in the
United States of its size, is given
prominent place. The reports sets
forth that Denver has 750 factories
with $4,000 employees and an annual
output of $67,000,0O0.
Colorado's output of mineral is en-.
larged upon, the report showing that
was mined in the last year, and that
$22,350,000 of this was gold. The
tungsten output is given at $1,GS7.-
329, vanadium at 100000, and radium
produced at the Denver station is
given at $4,000 per month.
The report tells of the beautiful
parks, the many scenic advantages
near the city, and takes in all the
natural advantages, dilating upon the
many factory cites available.
The report shows in detail every
item Of expenditure by the different
branches of the city government. The
total-cost of running the city last
