of the countries in Mesopotamia will
rebel against undue influence of Eng
land, which, it is understood, will be
given a controlling interest in that
part of the world. If the League fav-
ors the smaller nation are we to help
compel the acquiescence of Great
Britain? That is merely one of an in
finite number of complications that
may present themselves, none of which
concerns the United States in the
least.
Upon the Senate rests the respon-
sibility Of decision. OF course it may
be said that the plan of the League
will have been worked out in advance
by the peace conferences, and the Sem
ate will not be called upon to write
a new treaty. But that does not in
the slightest degree lessen the respon-
sibility of Senators. We cannot be-
live for a moment that in a matter of
such transcedent importance to the
future destiny of their country they
will be influenced by the fact that the
treaty presents the combined labors
of representatives from the principal
countries Of the world. They will and
ought to be guided solely by considera-
tion of the effect of the League on the
welfare of their country, quite regard
less of whether its rejection will force
a reconvening of the peace congress
and rewriting of the treaty"
In The Dark.
Wow. Can 1t be that at last we
have that long sought reason for TAX
ing over the cables? Looks that way,
when we learn of private cablegram
sent to Representative Padgett Of Ten
nessee, chairman of the naval affairs
committee, stating that unless the ma
val building program was favorably
reported it would be fatal to my ne
gotiations." More than ordinary mys-
terry seems to surround the sending of
this message and Congress will un-
doubtedly be heard from in unmistak-
able terms. 1t has long been n sub
ject for discussion in official circles, as
to just why the Administration should
so positively advocate a measure call
ing for more than 500, O,OOO, 900 and an
other 3 year ship building program
simultaneously with the word from
abroad that disarmament was one of
the basic principles of the peace ne
gotiations. Also the domestic safety"
of the United States must be in great
err danger than during the war or else it
is impossible to reconcile such u pro-
gram with point 4 of the Presidents
fourteen peace principles. Point 4
reads: Adequate guarantees given
and taken that national ornaments will
be reduced to the lowest points con-
sistent with domestic safety" Just
what are the negotiations that would
be wrecked if the naval committee fail
ed to favorably report the huge naval
bill? Time will no doubt tell the story
as the bill finds hard shedding going
through a Congress which is aroused
to arms over what it calls unnecessary
secrecy.

Denver, Feby. 1.-THE one noticeable
thing about the present house Of re-
representatives. is that the members are
striving, in every way, to prevent any
new legislation that will result In the
increase of taxes. While there are
some in the senate who are sponsoring
measures with large appropriations,
vet the majority of that body hold
with the republicans of the house, that
this is no time for any Legislation that
means an added burden to the people.
Much has been said for and against
a $2O,000,000 bond issue for good
roads. The bill as presented is to
submit the question to the people at
the next general election, but care
full canvass of both house and senate
indicates the bill can not pass either
branch. Senator Peterson of Pueblo,
the republican floor leader of the up
per house, takes the position that the
Legislature should not submit to the
people any measure, or constitutional
amendment, which did not have the
hearty approval of the majority of
both houses; that it is the duty of the
members to give due care and atten-
tion to every measure to be submitted
since the opportunity is not given the
average voter. This position is en-
tertained by the republicans of both
branches.

There has been some criticism Of the
Legislature over the state, apparently
from men not acquainted with the sit
uation. Going on the assumption that
every bill carrying an appropriation,
or proposed bond issue introduced in
either house, is going to pass, these
critics are crying that taxes are going
to be most burdensome. The members
point to the fact that If those who are
so free with their criticism would but
take the time and trouble to look into
the situation they would find there is
no disposition on the part Of the legis-
lature to enact laws that mean added
burdens to the taxpayers. On the con-
trary. the disposition, marked and en-
phatic, is to prevent the passage OF
all such measures.

Allyn Cole, speaker of the house,
recognized as an able and conscient-
ious man and enjoying the confidence
Of all the members, in referring to one
unjust criticism, said:
THE present legislature irrespective
of political or personal beliefs, is one
striving honestly and earnestly to do
the right thing. 1t is customary that
those wholly ignorant of the facts
concerning the subject matter of their
Trades shall severely criticize, not
only the integrity but the common
senEe Of the legislature. The revenue
producing machinery of government is
always assailed by certain taxyapers
accustomed TO dodging their own taxes
and having governmental expenses
paid by those not so fortunately placed
and who cannot dodge The raising
of necessary revenues is always vexa-
tious and very trying problem. The
present Legislature will do the best it
can to solve the questions, and when
we finish, think no criticism can be
honestly made either affecting the in
tegrity or common sense of the final
action"
The Lamar register., 1919-02-19

Senator Francis ]. Knauss of Den
Yer. unanimously selected by the re-
publicans of that body as their can
didate for president pro tenn, in re-
ferring to the same matter, said:
"The present general assembly is
made up of men devoted to the best
interests of the state, and in my opin-
ion will give all pending Legislation
careful and serious consideration.
While we do not always agree, the
ultimate result reached is for the best
judgment of the members. l believe
the general assembly is as anxious as
any of its predecessors to reduce taxa
tion and give Colorado business ad-
ministration. Certainly no criticism
of its actions should be INDUCED in
until our labors are concluded"
The fact of the matter is, the pre-
sent Legislature is considered by those
who have given any attention to
ascertain the facts, the best this state
has known for 20 years. There are
those who have state interests in their
keeping who instead of aiding men,
bers, devote their time and attention
to knocking" 1t has long been a
custom to belittle legislatures. a pra-
tiee that is productive Of no good but
of vast amount Of real harm.
