OPPOSITION TO COLLEGE
FROM UNEXPECTED SOURCE
Nevertheless, Deficiency Appropriation Bill Of
$4,000 Passes Second Reading in louise
in Large Majony.

At Boulder on Wednesday afternoon
the members Of the Legislature were
guests of the University and an audi
ence Of 1000 people filled the great
auditorium. At this meeting, Attorney
General Arthur NJ. Stong, arose, and
in the course of a speech went out Of

School at Gunnison. He declared Il

among other statements, without pro
vocation and without warrant, stated
that the average cost per student at
Gunnison was over $500, the highest
in the state by far.
The attack was not only without
warrant, but his statements were di-
rectly contrary to the facts, and we
make this direct charge on the authori-
ty of the college here, in spite of the
fact that Mr.. Stong is auditor of the

JOHN GORDON
DIES THIS A. N.
Aged Pioneer Passes
Away Pueblo Hospital
Funeral Date Not Set.

Telegraphic information was receiv-
ed this morning to the effect that
John Gordon had died in Pueblo early
this morning (Friday.) s
Mr.. Gordon, who was well into his
eighties, has been in failing health
the past year and has been confined in
the state institution at Pueblo since
last fall, as his condition demanded his
removal from Gunnison. Mr.. Gordon
was one of the early residents Of this
section and lived a long and eventful
life, being in the Meeker Massacre in
the early seventies. In that particular
controversy between the Indians and
white men, Mr.. Gordon acted as scout
and was successful in getting thru
the Indian guards and thus eluding
the warriors. However, he lost his
brother, George, in that massacre.
In his younger days, Mr.. Gordon was
active as river pilot on the Mississ-
ippi river from st. Louis down to New
Orleans, where he was affiliated with
Mark Twain on his famous Mississippi
river journeys.
Mr.. Gordon was married over fifty
years ago to Miss Mary Moses at st.
Louis. The golden wedding of the
couple was celebrated in Gunnison a
couple of years ago. Mrs. Gordon
survives, also a niece in the east.
Deceased was beloved by Gunnison
county people, with whom he was well
acquainted, both socially and in busi-
ness way, having conducted real
Gunnison news-champion., 1923-02-23

especially for the deliberate warping
Of figures, which his statements con-
tanned. The true facts were immedi-
ately made availabls to the state legis-
lators in q special pamphlet, which
was sent to Denver last night to be
laid on the desks Of the legislators this
afternoon. The authorities at the col
lege stake the reputation of the school
on te certain assurance that these
hkufts are right and that Auditor
Stong is wrong. The statement is
printed in full at the bottom Of this
page.
In the face of this opposition, Rep
resentative Cowan yesterday morning
secured the permission of the Hou &c
Appropriation committee to report out
the deficiency bill carrying $4,000. 90
appropriation, at once, and 1t was pass
ed on second reading by almost unani-
nous vote. The third and final read
ing will occur this afternoon, and the
representatives will have before them
the statement of President Quigley,
which shows beyond doubt that in
stead of the cost per capita being over
$500, it is $237.03, or the lowest in the
state except the University, which has
had u very large attendance to divide
into the cost of maintenance.

Rockwell Strongly OPP
poses Governors Bill
Lieut.. Governor Thinks
1t Would Be Disaster
to State. Doesn't Hes
itate to Say So.

This week shall discuss the So
called Administration Code, as prepar-
ed by the Municipal Research Society
Of New York and recommended by
Governor Sweet and Mr.. Pershing TO
the Legislature. Next week shall
discuss the so-called Lambert bill, pre-
pared by former Speaker of the House
Allyn Cole.
Every one who has given thought to
the affairs of State government real
izes the necessity of eliminating GER
tain unnecessary boards, bureaus and
commissions which have grown up
during the forty odd years that Colo
rado has been q state, and the consolid-
alton of others which are duplicating
one another's work. The two bills
which are before this Assembly 20
about it absolutely different ways.
The Administration Code bill, il pass
ed, would practically eliminate all of
the departments of state as now car
ried on and form a new system Of
state government, consisting of q
cabinet Of nine members appointed by
the governor, and they, in turn, would
recreate all Of the functions as now
carried on under these nine depart
ments. This would seem on the face
of it to make all elective offices, ex-
cept the governor, unnecessary because
under the code, all of the duties now
carried on under the various elective
offices are taken away from them and
placed under the particular branch Of
this cabinet which the Municipal Re-
search Society of New York thought
best. II would. therefore, seem to be
the better part of valor il we are going
to establish this system Of government
to abolish all Of the elective offices,
with the exception -of the governor,
and perhaps the lieutenant governor in
case of the inability Of the governor
to serve, thus saving the duplication Of
expense.

It seems that the fire started from

worth Of machinery and buildings were
consumed in the fire in addition to one
hundred and fifty tons of coal in the

1t has never been the policy Of the
News Champion to try in its columns
cases that are in the courts of justice.
In this matter of q county garage we
have laid as many facts as we could
secure before the public, with no inten-
ton Of favoring one side or the other,
since the case is before Judge Logan
and has no connection with other cases
in court in which the people are inter-
ested.
1t has been the course Of the Gunni-
son Empire to color and distort news
to favor its friends and to pull down
its enemies. A conspicuous instance
is the two column editorial in its last
issue on the purchase Of county gar
age, in which the editor goes out of
bounds to boost one side and abuse the
other.
As illustrating its editorial, let us
quote one paragraph, namely:
Measurements taken this week
indicate that the county gets only
an interest in the north wall, as
that occupies ground on Lot No.
3, no part Of which is conveyed to
the county, while the roof pro- :
trudes about 16 inches farther over
on Lot S,ma<ing legal trespass of
about 20 inches on ground not
conveyed"
Here are the facts quoted from the
deed of conveyance held in escrow in
the First National Bank, which in
formation could have been easily sb-
tained by the Empire from Mrs. East
man or interested parties. The con-
veyance reads:
"The west fifty (5O) feet of lots
nine, ten, eleven and twelve, (y-lO-
II and 12) and the south Eve 60
feet Of the west fifty (5O) feet Of
lot eight (6), all in block twenty
two G22l. ; Original Gnnison,
This tract of ground, five by fifty
feet, was reserved in the conveyance
by Mrs. Eastman in 1919, and the deed
Is on record in Book 207, page 567 Mt
the court house. OF course il was
conveyed in the deed to the county.
This is fair sample Of Rawaltian
n thods.
In other words, this county DID rot
the entire north wall, the land under
.ha protiuding roof WAS named in
the conveyance and there COULD BE
NC legal trespass," whatever that is.
This is fair sample of the Rawal-
tan methods.
1t is a difficult matter to prove
deliberate falsehood on the part Of
man like Rawalt. He is a postmaster
in the art of limiting and slurring and
telling half truths with yehemance

interior of their beautiful residence on
Upper Main street.

a well-equipped office. The former
office is to be used as fancy display
