LAWS ENACTED BY
THE LEGISLATURE.

ing, 1t is thought, the board will make
general increase in valuations, and
consequently an increase in the. rev.
enue for the state.
In the past 1t has been impossible
for the county assessors to agree
among themselves or with the board
of equalization.
AS originally drawn up the bill pro-
, vided that the board be made up of
county assessors alone. This was the
principal objection raised to it in the
senate, Senator McCreery and others
insisting that as worded it was uncon-
stitutional. The constitution creates
the state board of equalization, assign
ing to that board the duties which
We're to be given the proposed state
board Of assessors. Many and lengthy
arguments We're made against the pas
sage of the bill, and the prospects were
that as many more would follow, when
Senator Seldomridge offered an amend
ment. adding the state board of equal
ization. Thus the duties of the latter
board will not be interfered with by
the bill. AS so amended it Iassed the
senate early Monday morning on sec
ond reading. In the evening the
amendments were concurred in by the
house, and the act went to the gov
ernor.

Courteous but unhygienic was the
act of President Mckinley. when he
recently rode bareheaded through the
streets of Boston on a bitter winter $
day. He is not by any means the only
president who has risked health and
life by the same needless exposure. If
etiquette upholds or condones the
courteous act, then etiquette should
be condemned. For some reason our
people seem to think that presidents
have no more right to cover their
heads before a crowd of staring spec
tators than they have to wear a
crown. The wonder is that many of
the chief magistrates of this country
have not died of pneumonia long be-
fore their four years term of office
expired.

Compulsorx Education Law.

bill affecting education was passed
py the Legislature that will be of
great Importance in Denver and other
towns. 1t was introduced by Repre-
sentative Stewart of Pueblo.
The bill starts off with the provision
that all children between the ages of
and IA years in school districts of the
first and second classes must be in
stfucted in reading, spelling, writing
EngllSh grammar, geography and
arithmetic, either in public, private
or parochial school for not less than
twenty weeks of each school year, ten
of which must be consecutive. EXcep-
tions may be made in cases of sick
ness as certified to the county superin-
tendent of schools by two reputable
physicians within the district in which
the child in question resides. The
county superintendent is given the dis
cretionary power to decide whether or
not child is being taught properly at
home.
Persons who are dissatisfied. with
any ruling of such superintendent may
appeal their cases to the county court
upon furnishing an adequate bond to
guarantee the costs of the appeal, and
the decision of the county court must
be final.
One rather telling clause in the bill
prohibits the employment of any child
under IA years of age unless the par
ent, guardian or person in charge of
the child shall have complied with the
educational provisions OF the bill. En-
ployers of children must have and re-
quire of the parents of their youthful
employees written proof that the edu-
cation of the children has been COM
pleted according to the provisions men-
toned above or be subject to a fine of
between $25 and 500.
Children between the ages of IA and
1G years who cannot read and write
the English language must attend
school at least one-half of each day or
receive private instruction correspond
ing to such school attendance until n
certificate is obtained from the county
superintendent showing that the child
can read at sight and write legibly
simple sentences of the English Ian
guage.
A truant officer for each district is
provided for. whose duty 1t shall be
to see that the law is enforced in that
district. He shall be the judge Of
whether or not a pupil is n truant, and
after warming the parents or guardian
of such truancy and failing to improve
the conditions shall take the truant
before the county court with the re-
quest that he or she be committed to
the Industrial school for boys or girls.

A Law to Increase tn. state. Revenue.

One of the governors first official
acts after recovering as much as possi-
BILE from the effects of the long legisla-
tive siege and its accompanying wor-
ries. was to sign House bill No. $50, the
revenue bill introduced by Messrs. Bal
lenger and Hollenbeck Jointly. which
creates state board of assessors and
which occasioned one of the principal
fights of the senate's forty-hour SEES
sion.
One of the terms of the compromise
by which the final passage of the bill
through the senate was secured was
the removal OF its emergency clause.
The friends of the measure persistent
ly refused to accept this alteration un-
til they foresaw defeat of the measure,
when they Withdrew their objections
and voted to strike II out On account
of that action OH the part of the senate
the efficacy OF the law Is reduced
With the emergency clause II would
have gone into effect to-day, and pos
sibly would have caused an increase In
Colorado's revenue for 1899. Without
that important clause the law does not
become effective until at the expiration
of ninety days--too late to influence
the states income for this year.
The purpose of the bill indirectly Is
to increase the valuations placed on
county property by the different coun-
" assessors. BY its provisions the
state board OF assessors Is to be com
posed of all county assessors OF the
| state and the state board OF equaliZa-
