PROPOSED STATE LAWS

The most important bill that will
be introduced at the present session
of the legislature is, without doubt,
the one providing for an administra-
tive code for this state. This meas
ure has not yet been worked out in
detail but considerable progress has
been made on it. The general idea
of the administrative code is to es-
tablish a state control of board so as
and bureaus. This, of course, means
saving in the financial expense to
the state.
Attorney De Lappe has probably
done more work on this measure than
any other one person. He assisted
materially In drawing up what is
known as the Lemmers bill two years
ago. He realized that this bill was
not entirely satisfactory and conse-
quently has been working out i'm
provements. He is able now to sue-
gest an administrative code that is
highly commendable in many re-
control consisting of the governor,
lieutenant governor. treasurer, audi
tor, attorney general, secretary of
state, superintendent of public in
struction, and three additional de-
partment heads to be appointed by
the governor. There are also nine
departments lit is possible that two
of these may be united leaving only
eighth
Registration and supply directed
by the secretary of state.)
Finance directed by the treasur-
er.)
Accountancy directed by the audi
tor.)
Legal directed by the attorney
generally 81
( Education directed by superinten-
dent of public instruction.)
Industry and commerce.
Labor.
Public Works and Buildings.
Public Health and Welfare.
This is one of the measures which
Governor Shoup is particularly anx-
ious to have enacted as. . law. In a
letter on December z, to the legisla-
tors Of this state he mentioned five
other principal measures which he
deemed should have the fullest con-
sidernttQn. IA, e. 4 ,.1,.,i

quate state police force. The Adju-
tant General would be in charge of
hoth the state militia and the state
p' lice force, the latter taking care of
ordinary law enforcement such as
riots and prohibition enforcement.
Both departments being under or.
head, the militia and police force
would both be able to use the stale
srmories, and there would be COOL
Grafton along other lines that would
enable considerable saving. 1his
would, in all likelihood, provide for
adequate prohibition enforcement
without retaining an extra depart
inent for that purpose.
Roads
The third measure mentioned +
principal Importance in the Cover
nor ) .etter is oneto correct the ra,l,ts
developed in the operation If he
present highway law. The Governor
makes no specific recommendations
on this subject in his letter. How
ever, there are Sc 'eral things that
have been proposed for securing more
effective highway construction III this
state. Perhaps one of the most in
teresting suggestions comes from the
Colorado Good Roads association. in
which. forty-six main state hiGLW ays
are proposed. Route of this sys-
tenn rul.s from the Colorado-kaasa s.
line east of Holly to the Colorado
Utah line northwest of Fruita thru
Holly. Lamar, Las Animas, La Junta
Swink. Rocky Ford, Manzanola. Fow-
Ter. Pueblo, Florence, Canon City. Sa-
Ida, Gunnison, Montrose, Delta,
Grand Junction and Fruita.
Route nine runs from the Colorado
Kansas line east of Towner, west of a
point on route at Texas creek, thru
Towner. Sheridan Lake, Eads, Has
we'll, Sugar City, Ordway, Crowley,
Olney Springs, Nepesta, Baxter, Pue-
bio. Goodnight. Silver Cliff, West
Cliff and Texas creek.
Route 10 runs from La Junta south
west to Trinidad thru Timpas.
Route "a runs from Brush on route
south to q point on route to a
point south Of LfmOn, and then south
to Rocky Ford on Routh 8 through
Woodrow, Limon and Ordway.
One suggestion that Is recefvipg q
great deal OF favor is to place the
highway department under the con-
troll OF one man instead of highway
commission o& several as at present.

Water Storage Up-to-Datc

Water Storage Up-to-Date
In Twin Lakes we have stored, g.
600 A. F.
In Lake Meredith we have stored,
10000 A. F.
In Lake Henry we have stored,
5000 A F.
Total, $4,000 A. F.
In looking over the past records I
find that our first irrigation water
has been run from our storage water
starting from the Sth to 22nd day of
May. and generally consists of one
full and sufficient irrigation. Now
tn will hold until the river water
Tearhes u.s., which is about the first
of June, and generally continues to
the 1st to the 10th of July Then
from the flood waters of June, we
generally store ample for the irri-
cations needed after the flood wa
have past, and we use all of this
water thus stored, and it is seldom
there is much left for fall Irrigation
Now from these facts 1 am of the
opinion that THE farmers of this par
t.cular district would profit by
adopting set time for all planting,
that all crops could be started at
about the same time, and would
suggest that no spring crops as
wheat, barley, oats and alfalfa be
pidHteu UeloTe Jue IlTSC OI April, nor
later than the last of April; for In
ance, last season it being congen-
ial spring for early planting, the
crops planted came up and were
caught by the March and early April
winds and without moisture they suf-
fered greatly. And to have used the
spring run at that time would not
have held until the June water arriv-
ed. And as to the fall planting, the
records show that we generally have
rains during September which are
sufficient to bring up and get start
ed the crops thus planted; and that
late planting is not good plan, while
late rains may come the suns heat
is not sufficient to warm the ground
and start the crop.
am also of the opinion that a
County Agent be employed here as
other sections are now doing. Then
uniform planting and harvesting
could be had, and numerous other
things of valuable knowledge and gem
eral information of which he would
have made a study would be impart-
ed to them.

A Sand Gate will be placed in the

against the river sands.
Two and perhaps three drops will
have to be built on the East Mere
d1th Inlet as the ones now used are
fast going to pieces by the heavy ice
jams. The cost of these improve
ments will be about 100000. One
of these drops will be used as a coun-
ty road crossing and the cost will be
borne jointly by the county and the
Meredith Reservoir Company

The most important Improvement
made during the year was the chang
ing the channel of the canal for a dis
tance of 1900 feet at cost of $270o
This was done to prevent the annual
canal breaks north of Ordway. By
this Improvement we expect no more
trouble at this point. The Channel

a cost of S60000
