indirectly IN the name Of the state,
more particularly irrigation securi-
ties. They are termed securities"
but are SO only in name. Governor
Carlson asks for reformatory legisla-
ton to guard the public against the
faker proper and the ill-balanced
promoter and exploiter who have
brought the name of Colorado into
disrepute in the investment world.
The state is "in bad" and the only
way 1t can get out is thru the adop-
ton of laws. common to most of the
western states, of protecting the
public against fraud sought to be
perpetrated in the states name. If
there had been proper regulation,
such gross scandal as that brought
to light in the Denver Reservoir
irrigation company's affairs would
not have been possible in the name
of the state and its courts would not
be a byword and reproach in many
quarters. And this is not the only
irrigation corporation under a cloud
in this state, unfortunately.
A number of other improvements
are urged upon the legislature as a
result Of practical experiences, in
Guiding reforms in the administra-
tion of the state land board, to pre-.
vent unscrupulous persons, under the
guise of reform, from exploiting the
heritage of the schools.
Anyone who has served two years
at the statehouse knows that there
is waste, that there is duplication in
the management of state institutions
that the political machine has too
big hold in most departments for
the good of the treasury, and, know
ing such thinks, the legislature is
appealed to by the outgoing execu-
tive to give attention to the survey
report made by a nonpartisan body
Of public spirited citizens interested
in the well-being of Colorado.
The Carlson administration will be
remembered by the public in the
years to come for it's industrial leg
islative program.-Rocky Mountain

TWO YEARS UNDER FiHE

Compare the message published
two years ago with the one delivered
yesterday by Governor Carlson and
the comparison will afford a very
strong plea in favor of a four in
stead of two-year term for exec
utives.
When Mr.. Carlson took office two
years ago he had number of theo.
retical recommendation to make to
the legislature. His retiring message
bristles with recommendation and
sound argument for important
changes in the fundamental law and
statutes, based on his two years of
service. Partisanship aside, his mes
sage is worthy the most serious at
tention from the general assembly
and the new executive administra-
ton.
At the outset Governor Carlson
takes a decisive stand for fair
freight rates for the whole of Colo
RADIO. His reasons for this stand are
inconvertible. He gives facts and
figures from railroad rate sheets
showing where all sections of the
state are being Disseminated against.
He brings this matter home direct to
the agriculturist, to the fruitgrower,
to the woolgrower and the livestock
man. He gives instances from the
rates established by the roads to
prove that not only Denver but every
important point in the state has a
legitimate grievance against existing
conditions, and that he-the execu-
tive--and thru him the state public
utilities commission, were justified
in the stand they took of backing
the suit of the Colorado Fair Rates
association and giving it official sup
port Governor Carlson urges an ad-
ditional appropriation for the util-
tiles commission to the better prose-
cution of the biggest battle that has
been waged publicly by the state
since Colorado, became one.

incisive fashion by the retiring ex-
ecutive IL the responsibility Of the
state for securities issued directly or

REVIEW OF BELGIUM ARMY

WITH KING ALBERT'S ARMY
IN BELGIUM, Jan. S.-Behind bar
riers Of water that are more impass-
able than the strongest barbed wire
entanglements, the Belgium army is
holding it's part of the western battle
front, and training and waiting for
the day when more of Belgium can
be wrested from the enemy.
The Belgian army which now holds
all of the Belgium not in Germany's S
hands is situated in perhaps the
most unique fighting position Of any
Of the belligerent forces. 1t is out
of fighting touch with the enemy,
except by artillery firing. For the
most part the Germans are mile
distant--and intervening, in place of
No Mans Land, is No Mans Water.
The Belgian system of "inundating
defenses" thru the river User, the
User and canal and various inundat-
ed district, puts unique barrier be-
tween the two forces.
Thanks in part to the allies help
and in part to Belgium's own indom-
table spirit and the industry of her
people, King Albert's army will not
he obliged to suffer this winter the
liardships and privations that fell to
its lot during the first two winters
of the war. The Belgian army has
been furnished by the allies, yet a
yoodly portion is due to the Belgians
| themselves.
They have established numerous
factories, not only on the remnant
of Belgian soil still left to them, but
lso in France.
These factories not only supply the
.roops, but give employment to
thousands of Belgian refugees.
Thanks to the efficiency of their
water barriers, the Belgians are no.
,ubject to German infantry attacks.
They have to Withstand only artil-
cry firing--and they are new equip
ped to give adequate answer to this
ort of combat. They have construct
I'd dugcuts and other shelters and
With their new equipment, the army
will be able to keep reasonably warm
Try and comfortable. while manning
the dykes along their first line de
fenses. -
The Belgians are perfecting theii
army. The cavalry has been entirely
femounted-almost without exception
u, American horses bought largely
n Texas. That portion of Belgium
which remains in possession of the
Belgian army doesn't offer satisfac
.ory grounds for cavalry drill. There
'ore the various Belgian cavalry Iii
visions take turns in drilling IN
French cavalry grounds keeping up
o the highest standard of efficiency
while waiting for the time when they
AN participate in the redemption of
Belgian soil.
The artillery branch has likewise
been developed to point where III
3elgians can boast of perhaps ths
most formidable artillery strength
+ any army of its size in the world
The present war having demonstrate
I'd the supreme role which artillery
olays, the allies have seen to it that
the Belgian army is equipped in the
fullest possible manner. To their
original field artillery, the Belgian
themselves were able to add num-,
ber of batteries from Portuguese
factories and France and England
have added all their types of heavy
artillery.

CORNELIUS TELLS OF
SAN DIEGO CONDITIONS

San Diego, California, Dec. 80. 1916
Editor Durango Herald:
Down in this Sunny Southland we
had frost this morning and quite
a hard rain storm has been in pro-
gress for or days. Out at Ma
rino Dam, 40 miles distant, it is re-
ported the snow is two feet deep.
This winter has been much colder
than last and light frosts have been
frequent but thus far the vegetation
has not been damaged.
The big fair closes New Years
day. Quite n large crowd has been
in attendance this week. / under
stand that most of the fine buildings
will be preserved and added to the
Park for the benefit of tourists who
visit here in the future.
The tourist visitors are not as num-
erous here as last winter But as
the Fairs boom is dying there is an
,ther boom or manifestation of busi-
ness life now looming in the horizon.
The Santa Fe railroad company has
started to put machine shops and a
large switch yard in the old town
miles north of the depot here. Sim
ultaneously the San Diego & Ari-
zona Railway company has let a con-
tract for the construction of 20 miles
of road from Campo to Jacumba,
connecting there with the S. P. r. R.
This will give San Diego an eastern
outlet which is badly needed.
These improvements will create a
payroll of about $150,OOO per month
for about 9 or 10 months. The large
kelp plant is now paying out about
$4,000 per month and most of this
will be spent in San Diego. In ad-
dition the city benefits materially by
the government payroll for soldiers
and sailors. The city is full Of them
and if there is no call for them to
leave here on duty they will spend
quite sum of money here for they
seem to part with all their wages by
the time next pay day arrives.
A conservative Campo banker esti-
mates the Imperial Valley cotton
crop will be worth $4,000, 900 this
year. Most of this money will find
its way to San Diego, this year and
continue to do so until the connec-
tlon is made with the s. P. giving
the valley an eastern outlet.
The things have mentioned are
facts or honestly contemplated pos
sibilities. now l will tell you what is
anticipated, or rather what is the
general talk of the boosters here.
The Salt Lake railway will build
here soon. The U. S. government
will do vast amount of dredging in
the bay and build great navy yard
here in the near future and also pro-
vide large dry dock 80 as to do all
kind Of repairing instead Of sending
it up to Mare island for repair, a.
is done now.
The presence of General Bell gave
rise to another hope. He was look.
ing for q location for military
camp to occupy tract of land from
$1,000 to 10000 acres. There is a
company trying to get permit from
the city for 20 acres of tide land to
be used for ship-building yard.
II all the improvements material
ise the population Of San Diego
would double in a short time, but the
mills Of the gods, 1.-THE great ones)
grind slowly. can still SEQ the
hand writing ON the wall. This coun-
try is over done and II the earning
