Dlavcd puItcs, Il Is true, but they
played . fair game.
The enactment Of the bill aboushing
the state railway commission was a
part Of tine deal entered into for the
aholiehmrnt Of tine state highway
commission In favor OF g Une-man
commission law and the adoption Of
the governors military program.
Tho commission in QUO zion had in
charge "a. movement for the con
struetion Of thr'" tunnels designed 20
connect the eastern and western
slopes. The tunnel plan was bitterly
oppored by Colorado Springs. Pueblo
and some other Ccntcrz, the lawmak-
cFs from which were willing TO make
any deal 10 abolish the commission.
And there YOU are.
The more ! see Of legislatures the
more ! am convinced that they should
be- abolished IN favor OF the creation
Of one governing board that would at
al times represent the best interests
Of All sHCtions ~ the state. Some
such movement is absolutely necessary
If the business Of the state is To BE-
properly conducted in a busiuess-like
way No corporation doing business
Of the magnitude OF that conducted
by Colorado would tolerate two such
boards. then Why should the state
tolerate two such boards rs represent
ed in the legislature? Politicians Of
the professional type viii oppose the
now idea, but believe the people viii
approve il when given an opportunity
to express themselves at the polls
and they OF certainty are to be
gwen this Opportunity
