dustriai controversies. OF the same essential
principle which, throughout the civilized
world. is employed for the settlement of
other controversies.
recommend as applicable 10 all corpora
tons in Colorado employing 40 or Eioie
workmeu, u law establishing. ~ TO labor
Difficulties, compulsory arbitration, that
general strikes mud lock outs be made iiIe-
! gal, and THAI certain judicial officers OF our
present judiciary be designated to hear and
determine this class Of labor difficulties.
/ also recommend that the state hereafter
let out no work or Job OF any kind. by con
tract. except in printing, publishing and in
the cases required TO be by contract by the
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
From the examination / have been able 10
make 1t appears that, by the abolition OF
capital punishment in Michigan. Wisconsin
and Kansas, the percentage Of crime n all
those states las been diminished. and at
the same time the percentage OF convictions
FOR the crime Of murder In the rrst degree
has been Increased In view Of these facts,
! recommend that law he enacted 10 the
effect that no person convicted In Colorado
OF murder in the first degree shall be exc
cuted except special warrant OK the
governor of the state. with the understand
Ing that the punishment for the crime OF
murder IN the nrst degree shall be life i'm
prLeonment.
FEMALE SUFFRAGE.
About eight years ago = law was passed
I giving to the women of Colors do the right
10 vote AT school district elections and. Ia
asmuch as. since that time. the heavens
have not fallen, and the efficiency Of the
public schools has been erea,ly improved,
recommend law extending 10 the women
Of Colorado the right OF suffrage at all
municipal elections.
THE Fen SYSTEM
The system of paying for the services Of
the county officials by fees most
riShteousy abolished by the Eighth general
assembly. II il possible that under the
salaries fixed by law, the pay Of some
OF the county officials Is insufficient II the
assembly so thinks / recommend that the
deficiency be supplied by increasing the sal
aries Of those officers specific amount,
but In no case restore the fee system.
THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.
The Australian ballot, though cumbersome,
state have become somewhat familiar with
It, and | recommend no change except such
a. is necessary 10 relieve the law Of com
pIlcatcd and useless requirements. When
political party has met in regular conven-
tons and by a fair majority of It's regularly
elected delegates. decided upon the political
policy for the campaign, no faction or mi
noritr Of the party and no state or county
officers should have any authority to Sit IN
Judgment on such action. and no other ticket
should be printed the official ballot I'M
der the distinctive name Of that party The
right 20 locate local nominations upon any
Ticket should be left solely TO the county or
district conventions making the nomlna-
lions
THE CAPITOL BUILDING.
The act creating the board OF. capitol man
ayers provides that the term 1T office shall
- until the entire completion and furnish
ing Of said capitol building and the full ac-
captance OF she same by the state of Colo
RADIO" and the said act further provides
that che entire construction and furnishing
OF ssid capitol building shall be completed
by the first day Of January, \. D, 1893
II Is a question. therefore. II the life Of said
board has not expired by its own Limitation
InGsmuch as the law provides for archi-
terts, superintcndents, etc, II appears to
me that the general supervision that tho
state need exercise in the premises, can be
efficiently performed by board of capitol
managers composed Of three Of the state Of
necrs, who should receive no compensation
therefor outside of the necessary expenses.
I advise tina, the section OF the law proyd.
ing for the appointment Of the present board
Of capitol managers be repealed. and new
enactment made In conformity with this
rccoulIns ndntiou.
