reason to say that have broken one
single promise made, either direct or
implied about this or any other matter
pending now or heretofore in the legis-
lature.
The morning after the meeting, the
bill was reported to the senate without
recommendation. Two members of the
committee wanted to make an adverse
report, the other four. being favorable
as well as the chairman. That is quite
a change from the attitude of the COM
mittee two years ago. Then we\ had
two on the committee for US. =
| am not certain now when it will

supposed to be friendly with one excep-

get the votes if we could get it up, but
we believe that is assured now.
have not before said what we ex-
pected our chances were except in gen.

the senate to pass the bill. AT the
present time, my list shows II certain
for the bill, 10 certain to vote against
it, leaving 7 that are not certain either
way and one senator that is in Iowa

2l votes for the bill. | will be per-

you can tell how nearly correct the
foregoing is.
During the past week, three of the
Colorado delegation in Washington
have visited Denver. They were all
democrats, but we find there can be
a vast difference in democrats. Sena-
tor Shafroth and Congressman Hilliard
were the first to appear on the scene,
coming in response to a call from a
Denver newspaper which assumed to
believe that the legislature was about
to assault the initiative and referendum
law.
A hall was hired and an effort made
to show great popular Indignation. A
very moderate crowd for town like
Denver was secured and the gentlemen
turned on their batteries. The 1egisla-
ture was roundly abused, the house as
well as the senate receiving its full
share, although the senate has passed
the bill and the house has not yet acted
on the measure.
The facts in the case made no differ
ence to these gentlemen. They thought
they saw in the incident chance to

FATE OF COUNTY DIVISION
BILL TO Be DECIDED SOON

Two more committee meetings have
been held the past week and these were
with the senate committee. They were
called at the request of Greeley object
ors to the bill and then we were noti-
fed, and as in the house meetings. they
failed to show up at the time, but
asked for later hearing.
For the benefit of those who are say
ing things that are not so, ! want to
say again that every committee meet
ing that has been called, has been done
at the request of Greeley people and
not at mine, and | was not consulted
about the time of calling any meating
except the first, and the other three
were all called and Greeley people knew
of it before did. | am not complain.
ing except as to the reports that have
been trying to work up some one-sided
hearings. It's the old cry of "stop
thief"
It would be too long story to try
and tell of what was said at the meet
ings. Suffice it to say, that the argu-
ments were much different than those
presented two years ago. Then we
were too poor and weak to exist, but
today we are too strong and powerful.
To get that admission is worth all the
fight has cost us, even if we do not get
the county. but confdentially expect
that we will get the county.
There was nothing said this time
about deserted homes and abandoned
claims, and fences and improvements
going to rack and ruin. They know
better, and in spite of the things said
there is always going to be a pretty
close bond between the sections.
After all is said and done, we have
an idea that there is no occasion to
dwell at any great length on the things
said in the excitement of an hour.
Mr.. Northup made the principal ar
gument for our side and did it admir-
ably without resorting to any false
statements.
The editor of this paper was accused
in a mild way of having practiced de-
ception to secure the nomination and
election, and while this nettled little
for moment, enough was told of the
last republican assembly by my oppon-
ents themselves to show that the claim
was ridiculous. Besides, senators knew
my position on the same measure two
years ago, and they have access to the
election returns of last fall. Two years
ago such argument might have hurt
here or in parts Of Weld county. but
now 1t is too silly to need an answer,
because the people Of Weld county and
the members Of both House and Senate

OLD TIME SETTLER CONTRASTS
- FAYMER LIFE WITH OLDEN DAYS

Farm life isn't what it used to be.
When was a boy we lived in little
one room and attic sod house. We used
tallow candles for Highland we made
them ourselves. A great stone fire.
place served for both heating the house
and for cooking. Our farm work was
all done by hand and with the crudest
kind of tools. If we wanted to go to
Morgan, thirty miles away, we hitched
up the team and made our plans to be
away from home at least three days.
We knew almost nothing about the
outside world-rarely saw newspaper
and were limited in our associations to
very few neighbors. We never saw
a play, never heard good music and
rarely got hold of good book to read.
1t isn't much wonder that the young
folks were eager to break away from
the farm and get into the cities and
towns. Farm life meant isolation and
drudgery.
Contrast that with my farm near
Raymer today.
When we want to go to Morgan now,
we Jump into our automobile and are
there in less than two hours. Neigh
bors are more plentiful and with the
telephone instant communication with
friends and neighbors is available.
Newspapers and magazines come to US
daily. The phonograph has brought the
best music in the world into our home.
the Grand Opera stars sing for US and
il the young folks are here and want to
dance, the finest orchestras in the land
play for them. But the greatest of all
wonders of modern farm life are the
advantages of electricity that came to
US when we installed the Delco-Light.
Heretofore the farm has been deprived
of these advantages because of the
great expense of extending the wires.
Electricity now makes it possible for
us to simply touch button and the
house, barn or cellar is flooded with
light. By turning switch, this sarne
power pumps water for US, separates
the cream, churns the butter or washes
the clothes, which lightens the burdens

Edward Taylor, congressman from
the western slope, came along Satur-
day. He did not come with a brass
band, but he did visit the legislature,
and he really had the nerve to say a
few words of appreciation. He came
home to rest, to see his friends and
get in touch with his people before the
work of the extra session begins.
Taylor is high type man who does
his duty and lets his electiops Look out
for themselves and they do. If Democ-
racy will just nominate some men like
Taylor for the senate against either of
the present incumbents, it will be a
happy day for Colorado.
There is no law proposed to kill the
referendum. A bill has passed the
senate to prevent some fragrant abuses
of the law. The house is considering
the measure. 1t will probably be
amended, but being so late in the ses-
sion it may not even come to vote.
Personally, ! am ready to vote for the
bill as it passed the senate rather than
no change. but some very material
amendments will probably be proposed
in the House when the measure comes
up.
A resolution was offered in the House
on Hilliard, but the democrats voted to
lay the matter on the table. Twice the
past week have party lines been drawn
in the House-the Hillirrd resolution
and upon the repeal of the Industrial
law. There was no reason why the
bill should have been forced up, except
to put the members on record, for the
senate had disposed of the same bill.
Grant Hamilton's threats had their
effect and many Of the Democrats voted
for the repeal, but they were mighty
glad that it cannot be repealed.
Senator Shafroth brought along a
letter which he had pursuaded President
Wilson to sign telling US what laws to
pass. That is cheap way of trying to
advertise in these days. President Will
son has got his hands full with the
Kaiser and congress without bothering
about the Colorado legislature.
Colorado was remembered in the ap-
pointment of the new Tariff Commits
sion. E. P. Costigan. once a republican,
later a progressive and last fall dem
ocrat, is scholar and an able man,
who knows the west and may probably
be considered inclined to the protective
theory. 1t is supposed to be non-parti-
san, but we have an idea that every
one appointed supported Wilson. We
suppose that this on the theory that the
vote last fall indicated that all able
men did support the president.
