District Court

Judge Hollenbeck and Setnographer
Atwood are here from Trinidad this
week for June term of district court.
There were several important matters
to be disposed Of, but the one attract
ing most general attention is the hear
ing with regard to the bonds on the
Mammoth Irrigation District, involv-
ing an issue of 100000 in bonds for
the purchase Of the Mammoth reser-
voir site few years ago. The bonds
are against large acreage of fine
land lying north Of the towns of Bris-
tol and Hartman. Interest was paid
on the bonds for period of five years
and then the directors refused to GER
tify any more tax levies.

billions of money and tens of thous-

told numbers Of American lives.

COLORADO NEWS NOTES

Statistics gathered through county
assessors and compiled by the State
immigration Department indicate that
Colorado's rural population has in
creased very materially in the past
ten years, and in the principal agri-
cultural districts has increased more
RAPIDLY than the urban population. This
is just the opposite to what has oc-
Cured in the principal agricultural
states further east, where census re-
ports now being made pubic show
that rural population has not increas-
ed nearly SO rapidly as that of the
cities, and in many districts has actu-
ally decreased since 1910. In tho nom
irrigated districts Of eastern Colorado
the rural population has increased very
rapidly since 1910, and in some cases
at present, as shown by assessors re-
ports, is more than double that Of ten
years ago. This is also true in many
districts on the western slope. parti-

Reports Of county assessors now be-
ing made to the State Immigration De-
partment show very substantial in
crease in the number of farm tractors
in operation in the state this year as
compared with last year. and also n
Substantial increase in the number of
silos in the state. The reports last
\ ear showed 2,247 farm tractors own
ed by farmers, in A counties. Re-
ports this year show that there will
be about so counties reporting farm
tractors, and that the total number will
BE in excess of 5000. Assessors re-
ported 2,73s silos last year, in 36 coun-
tics. More than 40 counties will re-
port silos this year and apparently the
total number will be in excess of $500.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF SCHOOL
LAWS


The special session Of the state
Legislature of last March passed a
resolution authorizing the governor
TO appoint a school code commission.
This commission has recommended a
revolutionary change in the school
laws of the state which would do
away with our present distrcting and
making the county the smallest sub
division for school purposes except
ing in the case Of cities having a pop
ulation of over fifteen hundred. and "A
county board Of education consisting
of five members, elected from as many
districts, with power to appoint a
county superintendent. The state
board would be appointed by the gov
ernor and have power to appoint a
state superintendent without regard
to residence. The recommendations
also provided for radical changes in
financing and administration of school
matters. The attention of our read
ers is called to this matter. We be-
lieve that the present system IS he
better. Our school officers and fnan
cos are now pretty well under the
control of each community and our
state and county superintendent are
elected directly by the people. IF a
change is made as recommended. II
is more than likely to prove disas-
trous, for officials removed from the
will Of the people are prone to be
more autocratic than those who have
to depend upon the popular will to
retain their offices Off hand we
should advise against the change.

proper were attended to by the Sen

1t is possible too. that some of the

the ceremonies as aforetime decreed;

had another notion contrary to the
