Protect Potash.

Some time ago the papers carried
the news that Ed Hurley, Chairman
of the U. s. Shipping Board, was per-
fecting plans in Europe for bringing
a large supply of potash over to this
country in the little fleet which he
pulls around by the strings Of Gov
ernment control. At first it was hint
ed that this was German potash, and
it was almost declared that a good
Irish potato, or stalk of Indian corn,
or even the old German sauerkraut
material re-christened Liberty Cab
bage." would wither at such an IN
suit. Then the publicity men of the
Administration averred that it would
not be German potash, but the pro-
duct of the Alsatian mines, which have
after so year abduction, been restor-
ed to France. Well, that was not so
bad, although our own producers Of
potash have been doing such wonderful
work in building up domestic supply
Of this great land invigorator, that it
seemed to most of US they should be
awarded by protection from European
competition of any sort.
The War Trade Board now announ-
ces that France will be unable to ship
potash from her Alsatian mines to us
for the next few months as she her
self needs practically the entire sup
ply for agricultural purposes, so the
Board sees no possibility of supply
from that source until June, 1919, at
least, therefore, it will be necessary
that the United States rely entirely
upon its domestic potash production
for the coming spring season."
Well, we have struggled along so
far without the European supply, even
if at considerable disadvantage. In the
meantime our own producers are on
the verge of being able to meet the
domestic demand, at fairly reasonable
prices. They should be encouraged in
their endeavor by the passage, at the
earliest practicable moment, of a pro-
tective law for their product. Pot
ash is 4 national necessity in which
we should be nationally independent.

HOME RULE

Article Xxx Of the Colorado State
Constitution commonly has been re-
garded as an instrument made in Den
yer and for Denver exclusively. Moth
ing could be farther from the truth.
ANY city in the state with a popula-
tion of 1000 or more may elect to
come in under the provisions of Ar
ticle Xxx and enjoy the same privileges
of local management that Denver en-
joys.
In truth, the cities Of Pueblo, Colo
RADIO Springs, Grand Junction, Fort
Collins, and Boulder have SO elected,
and operate under their own charters.
1t is easily conceivable that within the
next five years a majority of the pop
ulation of Colorado may be living un-
der municipal home rule, for the COM
bined population Of the six home rule
cities now aggregates more than one
third the total population of the state.
The ordinances of these cities, when
passed in conformity with their chart
ers and Article Xxx, supersede conflict
ing statutes of the state, within the
territorial borders of these cities.
Directors to this theory Of self-gov-
ernment have declared that Denver is
Emporium in imperio." and this is
true to the extent that it is supreme
in matters of local government, but
the recent Supreme Court decision
specifically pointed out that, instead
of one agency, created by the people
of the state, there are two agencies in

fused by the word state when the

Think for Yourself.

If readers of the Democratic papers
would ponder more upon the facts they
read and give less heed to the partisan
opinions Of the Democratic editors, we
would make more satisfactory pro-
gress in solving our economic prob
lens. Here, for instance, is an editor
who publishes the fact. known to many
but overlooked by some. that "the pro-
cesses of red tape, which bungle many
things. got in their deadly work" in
the payment of soldiers wages and
soldiers allotments. That is the plain,
unvarnished fact. yet the editor sup
ports the administration in its effort
to entangle our railroads, our tele-
phones, our telegraphs, and oceanic
cables, in the meshes of red tape. And
many Democrats who deem it their
duty to "stand by the President" even
in violation of their own convictions.
are willing to help increase the red
tape that will later get in its deadly
work to the destruction of efficiency
in many a public service institution.

wadsworth Spies a Fault.

Senator Wadsworth of New York
calls attention to a weakness of our
military organization that caused
much unnecessary heartburning among
the soldiers. When a man was wound
go he was sent behind the lines to a
hospital and given good treatment.
After he was recovered he found him
self in replacement camp, and even
tually was returned to the front lines
for further duty. But instead of put
ting him back in his old regiment and
company, where his friends were he
was frequently, and in the majority of
cases, sent to strange division, q
strange regiment, and a strange COM
pany. Nothing can be a more severe
blow to soldier" declares Mr.. Wads-
worth, ethan to separate him from the
company with which he has fought,
with which he has trained, and with
the members of which he is thoroughly
acquainted. The fault in our replace
ment system is one that the Senator
hopes to see corrected in our military
organizations Of the future.

gress has appropriated $150,000 for the
support of this much needed relief in
addition to funds provided by the state
themselves. DIR. f. c. Stakman, Plant
Pathologist of the Minnesota Expert
ment Station, has been appointed to
manage the entire campaign through
the assistance of local leaders in the
various states. Total eradication has
been asked for in Montana, the Dako-
tas, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Colorado and Wyoming. Many of
these states have already completed
S5 per cent of the work. In all of
them the number of barberries has
been surprisingly large-in one in
stance a worker found more bushes in
a single small town than were suppos-
ed to be in the whole state. Estimates
show that there were 100000 bushes
in Wisconsin alone. Legislatures in
some states have passed laws requir-
ing people to eradicate this pest; in
others, patriotic societies with power
to act for the public good have taken
charge of the work. Splendid coopera-
ton has been secured everywhere. The
people of North Dakota and Minnesota
with sad memories of the 1916 rust
epidemic, did not wait to be told to
remove their barberries. Scarcely a
bush had to be ordered out. Colorado
has now started work in earnest and
the same spirit of cooperation is mani

WASHINGTON NOTES
Another Ford Machine Stalled.

Washington, Feb. 11.-(Special cor
respondsnce) Instead of Senator-elect
Newberry being placed in the position
of defendant in the Michigan election
investigation it begins to look as if
Mr.. Ford himself would occupy that
role. Without waiting for the inquiry
by the Senate committee to start, Mr..
Ncwberry has formulated specific
charges against the conduct of the
campaign in behalf of Ford, which is
described as 'the most elaborate, pre-
|tentious, and expensive in the history
of the State" The cost of printing
one pamphlet alone is placed at $4,000
and the postage in mailing it to the
voters of the State at from $4,000
to $4,000. 1t is charged that in some
precincts Ford workers insisted on vot-
ing men who were not registered or
whose citizenship was in doubt. Post
masters and mail carriers, it is alleg-
ed, were impressed into the work for
the election of Ford, and every agency
in the State for the sale of Ford auto
mobiles was used as a headquarters
for its chief. Ford workers swarmed
about almost every voting booth, par
ticularly in the city of Detroit, with
literature, cards, and banners. ut can
be demonstrated" declares Mr.. New
berry, that the major portion of the
political activity and expenditure of
money on the election was done on be-
half of Mr.. Ford"
1t is evident that the Newberry
counter attack caught Mr.. Ford in a
tender spot No sooner was it made
public than the men who pull the
strings that galvanize Edsel's father
into action gave forth a statement in
his defense. mo money or other thing
Of value" say they, was expended by
Mr.. Ford either in primary or election,
and no moneys were expended in his
behalf in the primary. The expendi-
lures made in the election were made
by the nonpartisan Ford-for-Senator
committee and by the Democratic
State central committee, both of which
committees have reported in utmost
detail, under the oaths of their re-
lspective treasurers, their expenditures
which were all lawful disbursements y
1t took lot of nerve to deliberately
assert that no moneys were expended
in behalf of Mr.. Ford ut the primary,
and the Ford adherents will have an
opportunity to prove that statement in
the not distant future.
By the way, how about that $780,
000, 900 contract for Eagle boats pre-
sented to friend Ford by the President
out of his personal emergency fund of
500. 100000? That little item should
not be overlooked in computing the
cost of the Ford campaign. 1t provid-
ed immediate work for thousands of
men at high wages without a cent of
expense to Ford, and undoubtedly
brought him large number of votes.

seeking to put across freakish meas
ures, they have already found such
ideas do not get far. The Senate this
time takes the back seat at the con-
servative body this distinction going
to the house. The high class character
of the legislature has been generally
commented upon over the state, and
it is common to hear the expression
around Denver, "the best Legislature
this state has seen for 20 years"
The Lamar register., 1919-02-12

Further objection is raised to this
theory of self-government on the
ground that we may have dozen COM
munities operating under entirely diff
ferent laws, and in constant conflict
with the state government, but this
seems far-feched argument without
any real basis in logic. Certainly 1t
has not worked out that way and suf-
ficient time has passed for this ten
dency to develop. The only serious
conflict has come is the opposition of
the city to a state commission that
seemed bent upon controlling Denver
in its local and municipal affairs.
The very act of the state utilities
commission which resulted in the Su-
preme Court decision, upholding Den
yer in its right to regulate its public
utilities, reveals the weakness of
bureaucratic government. Government
by state or national commissions does
not and cannot take into consideration
and render full justice>to all localities
in the administration of economic ques-
tions. 1t is too far removed from the
people, and operating under blanket
law, which cannot be made flexible
enough to give justice to all localities.
1t is at once apparent that gas rates
in Denver could never become as low
as those of cities located in great
natural gas zone. 1t needs no demon
stration to show that cities located on
the shores of great lake or river will
always have cheaper water than those
which must bring their supply, as does
Denver, from the mountains, sixty
miles distant Denver is located in
sparsely settled section Of the coun-
try and has had to suffer for years
from discriminatory freight rates,
without hope of recourse from the in
terstate commerce commission.
The very basis of government in
republic is representation for all the
people, and the more powerful local
government can be made the more
complete will be that representation.
Bureaucratic government, government
by commissions or boards far remov-
ed from a majority of the people, is
akin to autocratic government.
The Supreme Court touched upon
this point specifically when it said:
l"Citites have produced new social, in
dustrial, commercial, safety and health
conditions, and the problems of gov
ernment resulting from them. Clearly,
then, the regulation of the instrument
alities essential to deal with such pro-
blems is peculiar to such communities
and, therefore, local or municipal
matter"
Successful municipal government
cannot be hoped for when the tendency
on the part of the state exists TO re-
strict the power of local government.
The tendency must be toward greater
freedom for them if the problem OF
municipal government is to be solved.
. We hold with the late Mayor Speer
when he said: "Solve the government
of cities and you have solved all gov
ernment. Municipal Facts.
