NOnpartisan League
Invades Colorado

The Manufacturer
The Nonpartisan League has given
official notice that the work of reor-
ganization in Colorado will be under
taken at once. The statement was
made that affairs in this state are
TO be handled by committee select
ed by the farmer members of the
state. This was the plan applied in
North Dakota when the farmers be-
gan TO understand, instead of being

a clever scheme ito bring Socialism
to the farmers and the farmers to
Socialism"
Conditions in North Dakota where
the Nonpartisan League has been try
ing out Socialism in the management,
Of affairs, is becoming worse and
worse. In the past when someone
sought to tell the truth about the
organization, at once loud shout
kept press" "agent of plutocracy,"
enemy Of the farmer" or something
like that was heard. No one, how
ever, has ever thought of saying as
harsh things about the leaders OF
this movement as they are now say
ing of each other-and what is more,
going into court and proving them.

The Coal Situation

The coal situation is forcing muni-
cipalities all over the state to look in
to the question Of leasing coal land
from the government and operating
at cost. Even Denver has the bug.
NewsChampion has always advo-
Gated municipal coal mine, even be-
fore Congressman Taylor succeeded
in getting a provision allowing this
in the new leasing BILL. However, it
seemed a big task and a big risk for
a town as small as Gunnison to buy q
mine, and now the cost of develop
ment from raw government land is
very high. 1t might be done, if we
had the right men at the head of it
Denver is in a position to take tn,
risk and almost ensure success. I'm
less there is relief in the exhorbitan
prices at the mine shortly, there mus
be a general movement down the lin
to try it. We have no reason to thinl
our local dealers are not giving US thc
very lowest prices they can, based or
mine prices and high freight rates
but it is time for those in authorit,
to bestir themselves. There is goint
to be much suffering and aggressiv,
resentment when the coal situation
becomes foremost in the mind of ths
purchasing agent of the family abou

Above the Law

Pueblo Star-JOurnal:-
There is great rejoicing at Colorado
Springs because State Game and Fish
Commissioner Parvin has removed
from Office W. II. Duquette, deputy
warden IN the Pixies Peak region.
His removal was effected on complaint
OF numerous Colorado Springs citi-
zens who charge him with "more or
less pernicious trouble making" for
several years. His trouble making
appears TO be only his determination
to make fishermen live up to the law.
His activity may be due to the fact
that he receives n large part of each
fine, but this should not be held up
against him.
Duquctte's removal followed the ar
rest of an Oklahoma banker for catch
ing near Colorado Springs two trout
half an inch smaller than the seven
inch limit prescribed by the laws of
Colorado. The banker was fined S5S
at Cripple Creek and Immediately plan
ned to leave Colorado Springs as a re-
suit of the treatment Residents of
Colorado Springs made up the fine
and induced the banker to remain and
obtained the scalp of the deputy.
In the case in question the banker
was clearly guilty. He was no bette
than any other person who happened
TO violate the fishing laws, but he was
man of money and summer visitor
and in the view of the alleged sports
men at Colorado Springs, should not
have been interfered with for violat.
ing the law. When the law fixed !
inches as the minimum length for 8
trout, it meant that those catching
trout under the limit should be pun
ished il they failed to return the fisl
to the water.
Officials who enforce laws ar,
bound to be unpopular. This seem
TO have been the offense Of the Colo
RADIO Springs deputy. For doing wha
was clearly his duty, influence is use'
to bring about his removal without tn
formality of preferring charge
against him. Commissioner Pavi
undoubtedly made friends among tn
men who wanted the deputy removed
but it does not look we'll for the hea
Of department in charge of the en-
forcement of a state law to remove
subordinate whose attention to dut
won the enmity of those sportsme
who ought to be the chief supporter
Of the law. Duquette's discharg
should be investigated.

What Ails Railroads +?

Paonlan:-
What Ails the Railroads ?" is the
popular subject of discussion the
country over. One writer makes this
significant statement: "Rates had
been falling while the railroads had
a free hand in the fixing of rates be-
cause the roads had discovered that
lower rates meant surer profits. They
found that big volume at low price
is surer way to profit than smaller
volume at a higher price," There is
one lesson the ownership of the old
Denver & Rio Grande never learned.
What a wonderful country Wester,,
Colorado would have been today if a
Hill or Cassatt, or Hartman, or
a Ripley had developed our transpor
tation! Penny wise and pound fool
ish policies, let US hope will be reoog-
nized as such by the owners who as
sumed control last week. No wonder
the poor stockholders lost out.

when n dashing young prince. later

There he was courteously entertained

Michael bore none Of the marks Of the
