A Booster Poem in Prose

Tell me not in mourful numbers
that the old towns on the bum;
rouse up from your peaceful slum-
bers and come help us make things
hum. If we go to work in earnest
we can make things hit on high,
dust thou art, to dust returnest,"
is song of by and by. All the past
has gone forever-you can't call one
moment back-and the future may
come never, this is true, so help me
Mack. Nows the time to do the
boosting. do not wait tomorrow
dawn; you may in the grave be rvtst-
ing, all your chance of boosting gone,
Lay aside your little hammer, grab
a horn and toot a few; squelch the
kickers dad burned yammer with a
joyful blast or two. Our old town IL
sure pippin and we ought to boost
it big; when we hear some growler
yippin' we should bif him on the
wig. Those who do not like our cit,
ought to straightway hit the grit.

OUT WHERE THE WEST BEGINS

With Apologies to Nobody.
Out where the sun beats down little
stronger;
Out where they work about four hours
longer;
Out where they raise the corn and
clover;
But have nothing to show when the
year is over
That's where the west begins.
Out where the mavericks bellsw and
bawl;
The farmer weeps at the long freight
haul,
For he knows that the railroads will
get it all, ".
Where the risk is great and the prof
its small
That's where the west begins.
Out where the farmers rave and cuss;
But do not strike or raise fuss
As they pay for goods sold "Pitts-
burgh Plus;"
Where things are in a gosh-awful-
That's where the west begins.

; If any business were organized un-
der the prevailing system of admin
istration Of governmental affairs in
Colorado it would become bankrupt
More than seventy Offices, bureaus,
boards, commissions. and agencies,
for the most part independent of
each other, have been created to do
the work that could, by reorganiza-
tion, be accomplished by nine depart
ments.
In many cases there is duplica-
tion of work, duplication of effort,
for which the state is paying double
what 1T should pay. As demands for
new administrative work have arisen,
the legislature has sought to solve
the problems by establishing new
boards or bureaus for the work-even
when this work might easily have
been absorbed by some existing agen-
cy without additional cost to the tax
payer.
1t is to relieve this situation that,
after survey of our present system,
Governor Sweet has proposed re-
organization of the administrative
work which will abolish useless
boards, place the duties of state Off
cials squarely where thew belong, and
make the chief executive of the state
responsible for the successful opera
tion of our government. This is what
he is elected for. ~

dent administrative agencies to meet
new needs, and place all new activ.

SIGHT BY RADIO COMING

. Just as radio makes it possible for
US to hear what ordinarily we could
not, we may expect in time, not so
far off, to see the unseen"
This is no vague dream, because
scientists have already perfected ma
chimes by which photographs can be
transmitted by wireless =
Experts in the United States Bu-
reau Of Standards have been working
with others for some time on this
kind Of apparatus, and in q short
while we may be entertained by the
use Of their combined inventions.
Radio movies will then be the or
der of the day. Movies that might
be shown in several localities at the
same time-simply by tuning in''
each local protector to the wave
length OF the movie transmitted.
Talking movies, already fairly we'll
developed, could then be applied with
ease
But there is possibility of greater
things even beyond the radio talking
movie. That is actual sight and hear
ing Of play or concert or lecture at
long distance by radio!
B The argument, by those who fore
see this u II our sense OF hearing II
improved so remarkably by radio,
why can't this science do likewise for
our sense Of vision?
Before radio came we could hear
only limited distance. without use
Of direct lines TO aid us.
Now, simply by attaching a receiv-
ing instrument we hear a long dis
tance without any visible connecting
link.
The world of hearing is thus
opened up to US by radio.
Why not sight the same way? We
can see only a very short distance.
Telescopes enable US to pick out 9TH
erwise invisible stars in the firma-
ment. Now comes radio which en-
ables us to see actual photographs
that were taken miles away.
If radio can transmit photographs
for us to see, it ought not to be a
wild dream to imagine sight by radio
of actual objects far away.-Denver

MERLE VINCENT DE-
CLARES FOR SWEET BILL
Well Known Grand Junction Repub-
llcan Leader In Letter to the Mem
bers Of Legislature, Declares Re-
publican Measure Is Objectionable
and Backs the Governor.

Denver, March Am a letter tc
all members of the twenty fourth
general assembly, Merle d. Vincent
Of Grand Junction, declares the re.
publican consolidation bill now be-
fore the legislature, known as the
Lambert bill. is Fundamentally OBJ
jectionable" and indorses the Sweet
administrative code bill.
In his letter, which was received
Saturday. Attorney Vincent says that
he believes members Of the legisla-
ture will upon reflection, ''be con-
vinced that the Lambert bill is un-
sound in its most fundamental fea-
ture and also that Governor Sweets
code bill is sounder in principle and
can by amendment be made to ac-
complish the objects expressed in
both measures"
Vincent says that the Lambert bill,
which creates cabinet composed Of
the elected state officers, would de-
stroy the energy of executive direc-
tion," and that Confusion and weak
ened administration would necessa-
rily follow"
Division of powers which must
necessarily weaken the execution Of
directions and policies SIS opposed
to both theory and practice in the
administration of the federal gov
ernment and is an arrangement
which is condemned by experience
and practice" Attorney Vincent
says. M
On the other hand, the letter goes
on, Governor Sweets administrative
code bill is sound in principle, and
is consistent with the idea of vesting
in single executive responsibility
for adopting and executing policies
for the administration of the state
government"
The one vital objection to the
Sweet bill, Vincent says, is that of
placing members Of the executive
council or cabinet under civil service
rules.
II believe the members of the cab
met should be appointed by the gov
ernor in Office" Vincent says, "and
the members should be responsible to
him and subject to his removal"
The Sweet bill gives the governor
opportunity to carry out the policies
to which he has pledged himself,
Vincent says.
at is at least certain" his letter
says, "that governor standing un-
der the promise and obligation to
carry out certain specific policies in
redemption of his own promises, or
in response to definitely expressed
public demand, would not, If he is a
man Of energy and spirit, voluntarily
submit to such limitation of his own
powers, He would. on the contrary,
challenge the constitutionality Of the
measure, and naturally litigation

suit, with consequent weakening OF

the energy and efficiency Of the

the energy and efficiency of the ad-
ministration. But If constitutional,
such measure is unsound and would
later become an issue to restore au-
thority to the governor.
"For these reasons l believe mem-
bers of the legislature will, upon re-
Election become convinced that the
Lambert bill is unsound in its fun
damental feature. and also that Gov
ernor Sweets code bill is sounder in
principle"

The Needs Of Reorganization

we will have eliminated thousands of
dollars of waste.
In place Of the more than seventy
departments boards, commissions,
and other agencies, the new code pro-
vides for nine departments, each
headed by commissioner appointed
by the governor and RESPONSIBLE E
TO HIM.
The nine departments are: Finance,
Taxation, Agriculture, Mines, Labor,
Trade and Commerce, Public Works,
Public Welfare. and Public Health.
These departments are in turn d.
vided into bureaus and divisions, of
which, all told, there are to be thir-
ty-five-or less than half the number
Of existing agencies.
The yearly saving to the state in
salaries alone, under this plan, will
amount to more than $213,0o 90.
Viewed as whole, the new code
provides for the CABINET form of
government, which has been in sue
cessful operation as FEDERAL
proposition for nearly century and
a half.
1t is patterned further, upon gov
ernment operation which has been
successful in municipalities, in the
form of city management, and which
has supplanted the unsuccessful COM
mission form of government.
