prohibition and our militia having vir
tually become part Of our regular
army, with ample equipment, and the
state having levied n tax for the main
tenance Of the militia, We zee no nee
essity or excuse for the continuance OF
the Colorado Rangers. We belive their
existence for police purposes and used
to supplant civil officers IL un-Amefi-
can and takes away from our people
the right Of local self government. 1t
creates an overlapping Of duty, div
ided assumption Of authority which
results In friction, an absence Of CO
operation. n lack Of efficiency and an
extreme burden upon our already over
burtlened tax payerR
We favor the repeal of the Ranger
Law and the elimination of taxes nee
essary to maintain It, placing the re-
sponsibility for the enforcement Of all
laws and Of order III the hands Of the
sheriff. constables, police Officers and
other county and city ofacials cherged
with this duty, and the governor, ~
chief executive Of the state. backed BY
the state milthe army Of the United
st.te. with the mower and author.
lnv thu. Jistr,b,,te,l. as provided by
the constitution, we pledge to the peo-
pie that law and order will be enfor-
4 cetl In every part Of the state.
