REFERRED LAWS
of Tunnel Bill Mis-
represented BY Those Who
Are Opposed To 1t.

A great deal of misleading in
formation in regard to the tunnel
bill, to be voted on by the people,
is being sent out by its opponents.
If the people are to vote upon the
measure they are entitled to have
the true facts regarding it. 1t is
true as its opponents state that
the measure authorizes the state
to issue bonds to the amount of
eighteen million five hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. That
is, the state lends its credit to
that amount. The only question
is whether it is a good business
proposition. If it is the state cam
not lose anything and the taxpay-
er would have but little if any
thing to advance. The PROPOSE
tion is to sell the bonds which are
payable in fifty years, at par. The
bonds bear 5 per cent interest.
There will be no taxes until after
the completion of the tunnel as
the interest up to that time is
made part of the cost of con-
struction.
The tunnel is to be wide enough
to permit railroad transportation
and also permit the passage of
automobile. The revenue that
comes to the state from railroad
and automobile traffic will be ap-
piled to pay the interest on the
bonds and provide a sinking fund
for their redemption. Should it
prove to be insufficient for this
purpose, the matter will be refer
red to the legislature and they
are authorized to appropriate a
sufficient amount, not to exceed a
one mill levy, to make up the de-
ficiency. Therefore, if the tunnel
proved success from the start
the state would never be called
upon to put up dollar. The state
would own and control this tunnel
for all time, and when the bonds
were paid the revenues would be
used to acquire transportation ia
cilities in other parts of the
state.
AS stated before the only ques-
tion is the soundness of the prop
osition. 1t looks like good prop
osition. There is no doubt that
it would make freight rates cheap
er and lessen costs of goods ship
ped from the other side of the
range. If it is sound the state
cannot lose and would provide it
self without cost with a perpetual
income. 1t would be of great ben
eft to the people of Gilpin county
and add materially to its popula-
tion.

IMPORTANCE Of COMPETENT
MEN IN THE COUNTY OFFICES

pin county needs and should have
the best officials that can be OBJ
tanned. In restricted sense the
county election is fully as import
ant as the state or national.
While mining is at low ebb
now, nothing is more certain than
it's revival. When that occurs
the, county will regain it's former
prosperity. In the meantime we
need good officials to conduct the
affairs of the county who can tide
us over our present difficulties in
order that we may retain our
identity as county and retain
our member in the legislature.
We believe that our candidates
for state senator, representative,
commissioners, treasurer, judge,
sheriff, clerk, school superintend-
ent and assessor have special
qualifications in their respective
offices which will enable them to
perform this service for the coun-
ty. We shall during the cam
paign consider this question more
fully. We will try to show you
why we believe the ticket should
be elected. We will confine our
selves to facts and discard bun
combe. We hope that the voters
will conscientiously consider
these matters before they make
their final decision as to how they
will vote. Our interests are all
the same. We want an efficient
and economical county govern
ment, the very best we can get.

Owing to. the universal decline
of mining, Gilpin county is fac
ing the most critical crisis in her
history. Never before was it so
important that our candidates for
Office should be fully qualified and
competent to discharge the dut-
les of their offices and administer
the affairs of the county. Not on
ly should our candidates be fully
qualified but they should be zeal
Gus in forwarding every move
ment which has for its aim the ad-
vancement of our interests.
On another page we republish
the Democratic county ticket. We
can indorse every name on the
ticket without any reservations.
Considered from the standpoint
of efficiency, qualification, eXper-
ience and willingness to serve, it
is an eptionally strong ticket.
In presenting the claims of these
candidates we shall avoid ordin-
ary political methods. We prom
Use to refrain, so far as possible,
from mud singing" and unjust
criticisms. Neither shall we in
dulge in partisan arguments. The
time for a partisan argument is
not opportune. AS citizens, Re-
publicans and Democrats alike
are interested in the welfare of
Gilpin county.
The best interests of the coun-
ty are of greater Importance than
the success of any individual OF
party. At the present time, Gil
