Colorado's Democracy can point,
with the entire approval of the voters,
to Its wonderful record on war financ-
ing. The special session OF the Leg
lslature provided for an issue of war
bonds amounting to two and one-half
millions. But actually only $3.50.
Of these bonds have been issued. To
provide money for interest and to re-
tire these bonds just and equitable
tax on domestic and foreign corpora
tions was levied. This tax, while suf-
ficient, is small enough SO that there
is no considerable objection to 1t. And
the returns from this corporation tax
Lave already called in and paid off
$125,00 of the $3.50 900 bond issue. In
ten years this corporation tax will
meetrthe interest on and retire all of
the bonds. Thus this war tax falls on
the corporations, where 1t will be felt
the least. 1t entirely saves the small
taxpayer, who otherwise might have
felt 1t most All this constitutes
most remarkable and worthy Demo
cratic accomplishment.

Jury Will Probe.

United States District Attorney
Harry B. Tedrow will submit evidence
to the grand jury tending to show that
Oliver II. Shoup, running for governor
on the Republican ticket. is guilty of
food boarding. The grand jury will
convene in Denver on November IL.
Rowland K. Goddard, United States
secret service operative, and Martin
Logstad, Colorado Springs city detec-
tive, went to Shoup's garage on July
"a last and there discovered 1000
pounds of wheat flour and 100 pounds
of sugar. They also ascertained that
Shoup, few days before, had re-
moved an additional 1000 pounds Of
sugar to gingerale manufacturing
plant in which he is interested.
Shoup says he reported having the
sugar and flour in his possession, but
Tedrow insists that reporting" does
not absolve the millionaire from the
charge of boarding. The important
fact is that Shoup kept the sugar and
flour in his possession in violation Ok

SHAFRoTH FATHER
OF POPULAR LAWS
Compelled Legislature to Pass inlti-
ative, Referendum, Direct Pri.
mary and Recall Statutes.

A little more than eight years ago,
Eenator Shafroth, then governor OF
colorado. .ailed the General Assembly
In extraordinary session and by ea-
erting every power and force at his
command compelled the Legislature
to keep faith with the people and
write into the law OF Colorado the ini-
tiative and referendum, the direct pri.
mary and the recall.
His services to the cause OF pro-
gressive government have been recog.
nized-not alone in Colorado but
throughout the United States, and II
IS because Of his record Of steadfast
adherence to principle that the lead
ers OF progressive legislation In the
United States are urging his return to
the United States Senate. where his
wisdom, experience and honesty OF
purpose will be bulwarks Of strength
to the people in the perilous days OF
reconstruction.
Following Is the letter Of Judson
King. secretary OF the National Popu-
lar Government League, Washington.

MY dear Senator
1.-The National Popular Government
League, Of which l am secretary. is a
non-partisan organization and does
not enter into party contests as such.
l cannot refrain. however, from ex-
pressing my personal wish that the
voters Of Colorado will return you to
the Senate.
Colorado owes you a great deal.
not only for what you have done here
for progressive popular government,
but for what you did when governor
OF the state. remember well. as DO
all forward looking men over the coun-
Try. that you had 1t in your power
when governor to kill that notable
series OF popular government meas
ures, or to put them over in accord
ance with the wishes OF the people.
You stood firm and did the job and
gave Colorado new glory. We have
never ceased to be grateful for that,
and we want you here to fight for such
measures In reconstruction times.
Sincerely yours,

In writing letters Of thanks to our

something very SPECIAL ought to be

you gave us in the recent contest and
that you give at all times and all

we can do to show this appreciation.
we hope that you will let us know and
give us the privilege of doing 1t. Ger

reason to be proud OF the service
which you have done for their dlsfran-
chised sisters IN other parts of the
country.
You will be glad to know that we
do not feel in the least down-hearted,
for we believe that the suffrage
amendment is in better position
than it has ever held before. The
question now stands, not as a state

no doubt of its success when brought

sHAFRoTH PATRIOTISM
-EULoGIZED BY WILSON

The following note from President
Wilson to Mrs. John F. Shafroth is a
graceful tribute to the service of the
three Shafroth boys in the present
war.
A canvass of the United States Con-
gress made by the officers of the Con
gressional Club referred to below
showed that the Shafroth family led
all the rest In the number Of sons in
actual service.
The graceful recognition of the pa
triotism of the Shafroth family by
President Wilson surely will find cor
dial response by the voters of Colo

Snow and Ice Worms.

There are mt present known In the
world approximately 90 species and
varieties of snow and Ice worms. Sex
ually mature specimens, yellOwish to a
dark reddish brown or black In color.
about an inch long and One-twentieth
inch In diameter were found In Febru-
airy and April (1918) abundantly on the
open snow fields Of Mount Rainier, Mt
an elevation Of 2,75O to 5000 feet above
sea level. They also occurred on the
snow on the mountain slope protected
by dense forest of fir and hemlOck.
These worms have not thus far been
found on solid Ice nor on the glaciers,
though they occur on the snow below
the Ice from and outside Of the lateral
moraines Of the Nlsqually glacier. The
snow on which they were found Is not
permanent through the entire season,
but melts with the coming of summer.
and 1t therefore appears that part Of
their life must be spent on or In the
ground.

MILLIONS WORK IN MINES
More Than Hall Of the 5000, 900 Men
Employed Below Earth's Sur.
face Dig Coal.

The magnitude OF the mining indus
try may be grasped when one realizes
that more than 6,O0O,OOO men are en-
gagged in the mines OF the world. OF
this number 3,SOO,OOO are employed in
the coal mines and 100000 In the
metal mines. In addition. millions
more are engaged in allied industries
dependent directly upon the mines for
coal and metal, according to the En-.
cheering and Mining Journal.
Mining is one Of the hazardous in
dustries employing over 1,OOO,OOO men
in the United States, in which three
out Of every 1000 men employed are
killed every year by reason of some ac-
cident. While complete data relating
to nOn-fatal injuries are not available,
reports to the United States bureau Of
mines for all metal mines in the
United States show that about 200
men per thousand per year are In
jured sufficiently to cause loss Of
time. A reduction Of 80 per cent In
the number of mine accidents would
mean saving Of 1900 lives in the
United States every year, In addition
to reducing the loss Of tine and suf-
fering resulting from more than 2OO.-
600 non-fatal injuries.
