the expenses of cooperation between
the state and federal government and
funds to meet war emergencies not
specified.
To the articles of the call the Gin
surgents" subscribed to a man. Here
was work for patriots. Politics must
be discarded.
If the people had failed so signally
to find relief thru the legislature in
the regular session when Boon Best
was speaker how should they hope or
expect fairer play from an extra ses-
sion with the same forces in control?
This is the question asked by the
independent Democrats in their caucus.
For answer resolution was intro
duced declaring the speakership va
cant, the clerkships vacant and asking
the election of speaker-their can
didate being Barney DuPraw of Ouray.
AS tho to draw a herring across the
path of their purpose the cry of
treason was raised and the men who
wanted to do away with the old order
We're called obstructionists.
Nineteen insurgent members voted
against Boon Best. Mishou, Cawlfield,
and Proske went back on their caucus
pledge and voted for Best.
Then began a period of retaliation
of punishment" with Best in the
insurgents denied chairmanships of
committees but they were denied men,
bership on committees while Repub-
llcans who had worn the corporation
ring in the regular session were re-
warded by chairmanships and men,
bership in committees.
This punishment" was followed in
the matter of bills. Representative
Friend introduced a bill providing
Of ~, h. e
high cost of living by preventing COM
mission, storage, or refrigerating men
from boarding foodstuffs beyond a
designated period and in designated
amounts. This was ruthlessly killed
Other measures of equally patriotic
import met the same fate in the Best
committees-as a warning to other
members who had shown spirit in de-
serting the corporation camp for the
people.
The nineteen insurgent Democrats
recalled how Boon Best, during the
regular session had been hand in
glove with the interests; how as direct
ing member of the rules committee he
had thwarted effective smelter legis-
lation; had been silent when the loan
shark bill went toward its death; had
refused to lift hand in behalf of
railroad employees and had made the
scHttllng OF the initiative and refer
endum his special effort. All these
things the Democrats in the house
knew; all of these things and many
more the "insurgent" group remem-
bered when they went up to the spe-
cial session of the war legislature to
serve the people. with all the power in
them and serve them by defeating
Boon Best at the outset.
The "insurgent" Democrats have no
-
time verified their faith, that no effect g.
i've legislation on regarding food, fuel,
prices would be achieved.
If what the insurgents have done be
treason-then people and party must
make the most of it.

SCHOOLS REOPEN SEPTEMBER 4.
Two New Junior High Schools Will
Relieve the Congestion.

The public schools will reopen Tues
day, September 4, following Labor
Day. Members of the board of edu-
cation look for large increase in
attendance and are making prepara-
tions to care for the numbers who will
begin their education this year.
The establishment of junior high
schools, one at the Cove school and the
other at the Evans school, is expected
to relieve the congestion in many of
the school buildings of the city.
The junior high school system is be-
ing tried for the first time in Denver.
1t has been success in other sections
of the country, according to school
officials, and it is expected that it will
be made so here.

GREATER BITUMINoUs OUTPUT

Increase of 6,486,000 tons in the
in July over the same month last
year, was shown in report issued
here today by Fairfax Harrison, chair
man of the railroads war board. The
total amount carried during the month
was 764,965 carloads, as against $685.
244 carloads in July, 1916, an increase
of 20.4 per cent. Cooperative effort
by the railroads to give the nation a
maximum of service for war purposes
made the increased coal tonnage pos
sible, the report stated. The greatest
increase in coal shipments was made
by Illinois, Indiana and western Ken
lucky, amounting to "a per cent.

HOUSTON SUIT AGAINST MORAN

Clint C. Houston, editor of The Den
yer Labor Bulletin, brought $4,000
damage suit against James F. Moran,
organizer for the mine workers, charg-
ing libel and SANDER. There is fear
fully bitter fight going on among the
miners of Colorado, or rather among
the dues eaters. 1t must be the high
altitude that makes Colorado union
men "nutty." If it isn't civil war in
a strike it is near-war among the sal
ary grabbers called organizers. And
yet these men have the gall to call
this stuff unionism.-Omaha Western

surgents" against the tyranny of a
machine is told in order that the peo-
pie who believe in representative gov
ernment and the ideals of Woodrow
Wilson may know.
The Democratic party of Colorado
was returned to power on platform
echoing the sentiments of the national
convention which pledged the party to
fair play and the square deal to all the
people.
In January, 1917, the legislature,
with a large Democratic majority in
the house, and working majority in
the senate, convened to serve the peo-
pie by enacting such laws as would
insure protection and welfare and re-
lief from oppression by arrogant in
terests.
The day before the legislature was
called to order members reached Den
yer and discovered that headquarters
were established in room 416 of the
Shirley Annex where Dave Howe,
agent and lobbyist for the railroads
was in charge; that Boon Best, cattle
baron of Kiowa county had been Sc
lected for speaker, patronage had been
dispensed and all that remained for
members to do was to listen to the
governor and watch the floor leaders
Ardourel, Rogers and Crowley.
The twenty-frst general assembly,
directed and controlled as it was from
outside by corporation agents thru an
alignment of stand-pat Democrats and
Republicans refused to enact laws
which had been promised the people,
fouted labor, bent the knee to capital
and forgot the goal for which they
had started.
On the first week of July call was
sent by the governor for the legisla-
ture to convene in extraordinary ses-
sion for the purpose of enacting laws
which would provide for the conser-
walton, production and distribution of
food; to raise funds for the creation,
equipment and maintenance of a mill
tary force; to provide funds to defray

cause of the high cost of production

are bringing.
Mr., Wallingford called a special
meeting of the board of trade, which
not only decided on the above action,
hut appointed a committee to go to
Kansas City next Wednesday and
meet the food control committee of
the Southwest for the purpose Of urg-
ing upon them the need to protect the

The real purpose of this commit

ers will not have to take less than Sc

OBSTACLES FOR
GAIN IN WHEAT
Lack of Labor and Fertilizer Are Big
Winter Obstacles.
MAY HAVE SHORT SCHOOL TERMS
Expert Suggestions for Elimination
of Hinderances May Accom-
pIish % Per Cent Increase
of Winter Wheat.

Indianapolis, Aug. 21.-Inability to
get the necessary labor for farm work
and also a lack of fertilizer, are
among the obstacles in the way of an
increased winter wheat crop in 1918,
and an increased rye production, ex-
perts from Illinois, Indiana, Kentuc-
ky, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin,
told representatives of the United
States department of agriculture in
conference here yesterday. In spite of
obstacles, it was the consensus of
opinion that the government program
for an increase of approximately %
per cent in winter wheat acreage in
the six states and the consequent in
crease in yield would be accom-
plished.
The labor question is complicated
by the draft for the army and also
by the movement of farm labor to
factories One suggestion made was
census in cities, ascertaining the
number of men with farm experience
and then arranging for the factories
tc close during the rush of the har-
vest season Another was for high
schools and colleges to have shorter
terms
The farmers desire phosphorates
unmixed with other materials. The
suggestion was made that the gov
eminent should concentrate the ac-
ton of railroads on transporting the
fertilizer from the mines and also
devise method whereby it could be
sold to the farmer at a price slightly
above cost.
