coLoRADo's FUTURE FOR 1917

This year promises to eclipse all
other years in the development of
Colorado's varied industries. The only
haze that seems to cloud the horizon
of Colorado's bright future in 1917.
is the discrimination by the railroads
on the transportation Of material car
ried by them.
This is question that our present
legislature should take Immediate ac-
ton upon, as well as the Interstate
Commerce commission, and see that
Colorado gets her just dues regarding
transportation. Fer years has Colo
rado been Disseminated against by
the railroads, and as result, the
states development has been retard-
ed twenty years.
There Is not another state in the
union with so many natural resources.
and could we have fair and equal
rates on transportation, the state
would have many iron and steel man
ufactories equal to those Of Pennsyl-
vania. We have all the>elements nee
essary for the finest brands Of steel
at our very door in the shape Of
tungsten, coal and iron mines, and
could be one of the greatest manu-
featuring states of the union in this
line, were we to have equal railroad
rates.
Colorado has another industry that
leads any other state in it's produc-
ton, viz: that Of sugar beets. and the
year 1917 will see a larger acreage
ing is also an important factor and
the Denver stockyards are forging
to the front as the main stockyards
of the country, Armour & Co., and
Swift G. Co., seeing Denver to be the
central live stock market of the far
west, spent over $1,OO0,O0O last year
in enlarging their packing houses, an6
still other engagements are to be
made this year to meet the demand.
The war in Europe, cut off the
German supply of chemicals from
this country, and now Denver has two
chemical factories in steady opera
ton that are capable of supplying a
large territory if fair railroad rates
were given.
The Colorado Fuel & Iron Co., at
Pueblo, last year employed twelve
thousand people at their works turn
ing out finished iron and steel and
it's pay roll for the last year amount
ed to s11 100000. This business was
aside from the war influence as the
works produced very little war ma
terial.
Other industries, such as miring
fruit raising and agriculture were
prosperous in 1916, and the present
year bids fair to excel that of last
year in all these productions. The
year 1917 promises to be the banner
year in Colorado's history, and each
and every one should bend their en-
ergies towards the accomplishment OF
these ends.

HOLDING CONVERSATIONS
WITH CLIFFORD PINCHO7

Senator Gronna of North Dakota
exhibits a sense of humor as expan-
sive as the history Of his times.
There is no philosophical limit as to
the heights to which humOr may as
cend; we can believe that the Su-
preme Head of the universe enjoys
an eternal smile which the inhabit-
ants of the earth are too low in the
scale of development to understand.

water power question two weeks ago,
Senator Gfonpa declared with a hid

those senators who hold converse.

too much evil has been compounded

ington Of holding conversations with
Clifford Pinchot. But history. even at
this early date, has already justified
the laughter which greets the dis
covery of a congressman in this con-
fidential situation. How was 1t that

Journalism, but through that type of
periodical which delights in the hys-
terra of Harry Thaw case or the
imbeoilities of Mr.. Box. By lying
and chioanery, Pinohot had persuad-
ed the publishers of national maya
zines, always opposed to the west
when an eastern interest is at stake,
that the locators of western lands
and resources were thieves and ex-
ploiters Of the people. 1t therefore
became the habit of congressman and
senators. impressed by the measure
of publicity bestowed upon Pinchot,
to court the favor of the author of

SERVING THE GOVERNMENT.

While firms without number are
selling supplies 70 the government at
good profits, the Liberal, in common
with other newspapers of the coun-
try, is giving much Of its space free
in boosting the efforts Of Uncle Sam
20 raise an army, and in connection
with other things in connection with
Uncle's little war. And il should be
remembered that a newspaper has
only two things to sell-subscriptions
and advertising. BY giving free
space to the government, the news
papers perform a more PATRIOTS act
than any other business or commercial
clal concerns in the country would
think Of doing. The Liberal desires
to be patriotic and in doing so v,o-
lates business principles in the Civ
ing away Of space that no other bus
incss concern il knows Of would be
wiling to do; this referring to the
press as a whole. There las been
an agitation in the columns Of some
newspapers that the government ray
for its space devoted to attempts TO
obtain recruits; but the Liberal thinks
nothing possibly can come Of such
an ideal, just as it might be from a
business and moral standpoint. In the
first place, the papers are considered
as q~uasi-public institutions that are
expected to help the government with
free space; and secondly, there would
be too many who would not agree to
depart from the traditions of the
craft. The papers have censored
themselves and done everything the
government has asked; only one
paper-and that by accident-has
published a line that the government
considered inimicable to its war in
terests. And atop of all, the papers
are giving away free space like a
drunken sailor spends money while on
shore leave. The Liberal suggests
that those who through habit criti-
else the press, will take these facts
into consideration the next time they
start their harangue.
