A State Roads System

The constitutional amendment which was proposed
the general assembly March 18th, creates sys-
TEN of state highways, to be constructed and MAIN
tanned by the of Colorado These roads, number
ing seventy-onc in ALL designated in considerable
detail it being provided that their definite location may
fixed by the authority prescribed by law, but that
the terminals of them shall not be changed and that
there shall not be any deviation from the towns and
cities thru which by this amendment they to pass
These scvcnty-onc roads include all the present
principal roads of the state together with others
that arc of minor importance In fact, the list
appears include all roads that arc now, or may be
expected the future to become entitled to des
irpation rs state highways There is further the pro-
vision that if any county shall be established, or
if anv county shall be changed the legislature may
add the system additional roads connecting the new
county seats with other county seats and other points
in the state =
Not until 70 per cent Of the total number of miles
of these state highways shall have been constructed,
and not until the funds available for the construction
and of additional routes shall be sufficient
therefor in addition the roads named in the amend
nent, will the legislature have authority TO add other
roads to the state highways system.
The purpose of this amendment is that will be
generally approved 1t is to establish system of state
roads adequate for the needs of the people of the whole
state, and to maintain continuous policy of state road
building that viii not be subject To chahSe according
varying conditions of political local control of the
state highways department
There will doubtless be objections made to this
amendment as there have been objections made the
plan of onc-man control of the expenditure of the
gigantic road building fund that is in sight. Some
of these objections come from men who entirely
honest and wholly sincere in seeking what is best for
the people of the state; other objcctors those who
striving TO misdirec the expenditure of
The funds for selfish, partisan or local interests.
Tho present conditions, financial and otherwise, as
hey relate TO the general subject of road building in
this state indicate the dcsrabiliy OF the establishment
nf general program and system of state roads such as
is contained in this proposed amendment.

Keeping Faith With the People

Whatever honest differences of opinion may exist
concerning the details of proposed laws, there should
be dissent from the general proposition that party
platform pledges ought to be made in good faith and
purpose and that these pledges to the people should be
scrpulousy kept by the party that is commissioned by
the people to control the government.
1t is true that in the past in too many cases, ad
minstratons and legislatures have been controlled by
political bosses who openly assert that political plat
forms for other purpose than to trick the
voters, and who claim that the obligations of party
pledges when the votes have been counted.
Republican in the election last November
due not merely to the fact that this party made
acceptable promises than its rival but more
to the general belief that the Republican party would
keep the promises that it made Such belief the
part Of the general public is most valuable political
asset and person who sincerely desires the future
of the party advocate any other policy than
that of keeping the promises of the party platform.
No doubt large majority of the senator's and rep
resentatives share the opinion of Governor Shoup in
this matter, and tho it may at times that there
is danger of losing sight of what may be justly called
the chief duty of the party to the people, before the
session ends the Republican party of Colorado will
that it is sincere in making promises and honest
in keeping them, and in that way will give conclusive
proof that it is worthy of continued public confidence

japanese Wrestlers Who Rise to Fame
Are Deserving Of the High Po-

Training for Japanese wrestler
is not easy. The training of our col
lege boys for an athletic event is chlld's
play In comparison. 1t is not unusual
for novice to be gashed and bleed
Ing after being Knocked about the
hard gravel Of a private arena. Young
students come out at 4 on cold morn
ings and train until s. Their fat and
muscles are hardened by constant
ramming at wooden posts and their
heads are hardened by being pushed
vigorously against walls. Yet 1t is a
career any boy in Japan's villages
aspires to who throws more than the
average number of local rivals.
A champion today has $50 or 100
'hands" or devices at his disposal. The
aim, worthy one certainly, is the
maximum of force with the minimum
Of disturbance.
Wrestlers are classified into nine
grades, of which only the first three
or four have professional Importance.
In each camp there are three leading
lights. The champion, the O-zekl, or
second champion the Seki-waki, or
second assistant champion; the KO-
musubi, the assistant to the second
assistant champion. The supreme
champion is called the TOkodzuna, but
there have only been score of these
