ment without added cost.
Another vital reform that will be
accomplished by the amendment u in
removals from the service. The prin-
eipal difficulty ut present II the prac-
tical impoasibility OF removing incom-
petent State employees. They gener-
ally can muster enough political influ-
ence to hold their Jobs in spite Of their
superior ofhcers This u . discrimina-
tion against the faithful and able en-
plOyee. The amendment provides that
removals and promotions also shall be
solely on the basis of service.
The committees Of citizens who are
canvassing the State in support Of
this amendment are seeking not only
to secure its passage, which they re-
gard as certain, but to roll up an im-
pressive majority for the amendment
and thus impress the Legislators with
the overwhelming determination q
the people to have their State ofnces
on an efacient and business-like basis
and to do away with the political
patronage system which not only low
ers efnciency, but degrades politics
into a mere scramble for plunder. In
addition to this, 1t Ii believed that the
example Of Colorado viii inspire work
ers for good government in other
States to take similar action.
National Experts indorss Measure.
The originators Of the proposed
Colorado amendment had the support
of the National Civil Service Reform
League, which for thirty-seven years
has worked for this reform In States
and cities and In the Federal govern
ment. The League has given its nm
qualified approval to the amendment
and has lent the services Of its expert
staff to the Colorado citizens commit
tees working for Its passage.
Colorado has had civil service laws,
but because they were not written into
the Constitution 1t has been possible to
have them repealed or their purposes
otherwise frustrated By self-seeking
politicians.
Every voter should take pains to
vote for this amendment on November
8 and insure the big majority that
will make clear the purpose Of the
people to have a Stats government
free from sordid political manipula-
tion and thoroughly sound and EN-
cient.

indorss Il

Colorado voters will have an oppor-
tunity on November s to make this
State the most efficiently administered
State In the Union by voting for the
civil service amendment to the Consti-
tuition. This amendment was initiated
by petition Of 25,OO0 qualified electors
Of the State, through the efforts Of
Colorado citizens interested in the
merit and efficiency principle.
The amendment abolishes political
~pull" as means of obtaining State
Offices. All the appointive Offices in
the State service. by the provisions Of
this amendment, are made competitive
except the following: Judges. receiv-
ers, jurors, members of unsalaried
boards and commissions appointed by
the Governor, State Industrial Com
missioners, Public Utilities Commits
sioners, the Governors private secre-
tary and three confidential employees
Of his Office, one deputy Of each cleo
tive officer, deputy Commissioner of
Labor, officers and teachers in educa-
tional institutions not reformatory or
charitable in character, attorneys, and
the officers and employees of the Gen.
eral Assembly.
This is the most far-reaching legis-
lati0n for efficient government ever
proposed for any State. The general
practice In other States has been to
make the minor positions competitive,
but to reserve the higher-paid Offices
for political spoils. Needless to say
such systems have produced the gross
est inefactency. Every business man
knows 1t IL absurd to have trained
force Of workers under the direction
Of incompetent superiors.
Women's Committee Active In Support
A Statewide non-partisan commit
tee of women is at work calling the Inn
p0rtance Of this amendment to the at
tention of voters in every county Of
the State, and 1t seems certain that It
will be carried by large majority.
The passage of the amendment
means naturally, that the constant
swelling Of the State payroll will be
checked. Places now filled by polit-
ical spollsmen who perform no func-
lions, but turn over their duties to
subordinates, will henceforth be allied
by trained men who with attend to
their duties, and 1t ma..- be pruphe-
sled confidently that the constant de-
mand for extra employees will on this
account be reduced enormously. 1t

Predicts Long War

Many people like to comfort
themselves with the belief that
the war will soon come to an end,
but the boys at the front do not share
that belief. Lieut.. Harvey James,
editor Of the Breckenridge Telegram,
who is now on duty in France,
In letter written to his paper says:
II am sure that nearly every man,
woman and child in the United
States feels that the Great War will
be over before we have lost many Of
our men. I would like to think so
too, Of course, but actually there is
nothing to justify such feeling.
Our people should realize that every
effort should be put forth to prepare
for a long struggle. We must see
this thing through to the end now
rather than do a half finished job
which a future generation will be
forced to continue with not nearly
the probability of success. There is
no question about this being Amer
ica's war now. The big sacrifice is

Home Garden HELPS Win War

Every article produced in the home
garden is a contribution to the cause
of winning the war. Home products
do not need transportation. They
go from the garden to the table or
to the preserve jar or the cellar, and
take the place of some other food
article that without the garden pro-
duct would have to be shipped in to
the community. In view of the rail-
road situation last years gardens
have been of inestimable value in
