Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Government of the People, of the State of Colorado
The character of the land - its fertility resources, loca tion and extent - determines the occupations of the people. The occupations of the people, together with their former training, determine the form of government for the State.
A State with fertile soil and favorable climate, exten sive forests of timber, and vast stores of minerals, requires a form of government and special laws that will regulate agriculture, lumbering and mining. The special laws of a State containing a navigable river will probably pertain to commerce.
The chief resources of Colorado are (1) fertile soil and (2) a great variety of minerals. These resources indicate the occupations of the people, and the occupations in turn indicate the Special character of the laws of the State.
