WORD FROM DIR. LIVINGSTON
FARRAND, CHAIRMAN ARC

Workers or the American Red
Cross and the American people are
urged to cooperate in the national
and state campaign now being con.
Quoted to raise funds for anti-tuber-
culosis work, in a statement which
has been issued by DIR. Livingston
Farrand, chairman of the American
Red Cross.
DR.. Frrand, who was formerly
director of the Colorado Public
Health Association which Is RAISING
s150,O0O foC health work in this
state by the sale of Red Cross Xmas
seals and health bonds, has always
been prtcularly interested in the
national effort which is being made
to wipe out tuberculosis.
THE success of the effort which
is being made by the National Tu-
berculosis Association and its affli-
ated branches such as the Colorado
Public Health Association, for the
sale of Christmas seals during the
coming holidays season is indispensi-
biS loI tht l"l-lcdCHluB pianS OF the
association in its fight against tuber-
culosis in this country" states DR..
Farrand.
The American people in common
with the nations of Europe are be-
coming aroused to the critical i'm
portance of the problem of vitality
and conservation of health as the
necessary factor in re-establishine
the world after devastation and des-
truction caused by war.
''Of all the preventable diseases,
tuberculosis takes perhaps the first
place in Importance. For that reason
1 view with keenest sympathy and
approval the splendid work which
the National Tuberculosis Associa-
tion and its branches is conducting
and l trust that the response of the
American people in the Christmas
seal campaign will be generous and
universal"

THE SPECIAL SESSION

according to StatehOuSe pred ic-
tions the special session of the leg
islaturc which convenes Monday,
December Sth. should be able to fin
ish its labors within ten days This
forecast is based upon the fact that
the governor did not include any of
the important measures 1t was tho't
he would bring before the assembly
For example, the proposed blue
est investors and designed to run
wiidcatters and fake promoters out
of the state was not mentioned In
the call for the special session mel
ther was there profiteering meas
ure of any sort or anything touching
on the high cost of living included;
nor was there any mention of bill
regulating rental profiteering. or any
| amendment to the present made
quate commission merchants law.
All of these measures were strongly
advocated by Secretary of State No
land and were in great demand by
the people generally. AS a result
of this failure of the governor to in
is considered certainty that all of
them will be initiated by petition
for submission to a vote of the people
at the election next November.
The most important measure the
special session will consider will be
the Anti-Theft Automobile law ad-
yocated by Secretary OF State No
land and the demand for which is
backed by the State Sheriffs asso-
ciaton, the State Automobile Dealers
association and all the various auto
mobile and civic organizations, not
to mention the 10000 owners OF
automobiles in Colorado, Secre-
tary holland has based the proposed
law on the enactments of othnr
states and its provisions are such as
to guarantee a marked decrease in
| automobile thefts.
Three constitutional amendments
will come before the special session.
One of these Is to amend the pres
ent constitution limiting the terms
of executive state officers to two
years. 1t is proposed to extend
these terms to four years each, be-
| ginning with the officers who will
be elected next November.
Another amendment provides that
tn legislature Is to fix the salaries
of the governor, the judges of the
supreme court and the judges of the
by the constitution, whereas the
salaries of the members OF the other
state officers are fixed by legislative
enactment
The third proposed constitutional
amendment gives the legislature
the right to fix the salaries of the
members of the state land commits
sion. which are now fixed by the
constitution.
The object in presenting these
different amendments to the legis-I
lature is that they may be voted on
by the people at the general election
next year.
The ratification of National suf-
frage. which was the prime object
in calling the special session. a law
for the suppression Of anarchy. Sc
dition and consniracies against the
state. and number of acts to corr
rect appropriation errors noted in
the last regular assembly constitute
the other matters to be considered
by the special session.

WHAT AUTHORITY, WHAT OR
ORGANIZATION HAS GOVERN
MENT AND WHAT ARE THE
RESULTS.

(By &. f. Davis ITOleSSor VI ii'-
tory. Irrigation and Constitutional
Law. Colorado Agricultural College,
Fort Collins, Colorado.)
THREE QUESTIONS
A gystem of government tends to
become a vastly complicated me-
chanism and as its proper function
depends upon the skill and intelii-
gence of those responsible for its
guidance, and as under our system
that responsibility rests upon every
citizen, 1t is important that all have
fair knowledge of the theory OF our
government and the means appro-
pirate to making practice conform
to theory.
In the study of any system of gov
ernment, there are three questions
that we seek to solve. l. What do
those responsible for the government
think it should undertake to do?
Should 1t govern much or little? 2.
How is the government orghnized
for doing what in theory it ought
to do g. What of all that it should
do is it doing? Question one only
will be discussed in this lesson.
Confning ourselves to the discus
sion of our own national govern
ment, we find the answer to the first
of these questions given broadly in
the preamble to the constitution:
ITO form a more perfect union, 20
establish Justice, insure domestic
tranquility, provide for the common
defense, promote the general welfare
and secure blessings of liberty to
our selves and our posterity, we, the
people of the United States, do or
dain and establish this constitution
for the United States of America"
Union. justice, we'fa.e tranquil;
ity, security, liberty, to secure these
as far ps may be to every citizen, to
the most lowly as su ,ciY as q the
exalted, s thi purpose &C cEr gov
ernment, and must become the duty
and purpose of every thoughtful and
loyal citizen.
| AS clllIenS we eaCD nave q rlSnt
to demand that our government be
so conducted as to secure to us a fair
degree of these blessings; but here
! the thought of our first lesson must
be ever in mind-whle we demand
these rights we must recognize the
duty incumbent upon us to secure,
as far as lies in our power, the same
blessings to all of our fellow citizens
Here is no room for selfishness, nc
place for advancing ourselves at the
expense of the right of others. Just
as in court of equity, he who comes
into court must come with clean
hands; he who seeks equity must dc
equity, so at the bar of public opin-
ion he who insists unon a right must
be denied hearing unless he can
show that he stands ready to recog-
nize and to the extent of his ability
to secure the rights of others.
