senate, and the house bills were
never seriously considered.
The great cry in the last legisla-
ture was for more revenue to
spend. All measures which would
curtsil expenditures or abolish
useless Offices and boards were
smoihered in the committee rooms.
The democrats have never forgot
ten that Jacksonian motto, 80

to abolish a needless Office, to
which a salary was attached, was a

Senator Farwell complied with
the request OF the TRIBUNE for an
article on his Legislative experience
by writing the following interest
ing history of his observations and
impressions:
EDITOR TRiBUSE: The Tbir-
teenth General Assembly, which
convened on January I'D, and
closed its labors on the morning
OF April I'D, had peculiar interest
to the people of Colorad and the
west for the reason that it was the
first legislature which Colorado
had ever had IN which there was i
democratic majority over the com
bined membership OF all other
parties.
The first action which was of
any importance was the selection
OF United States Senator To sue
ceed the Hon Edward o. Woico,t
IL will be one OF the amusing
things in Colorado's history for
future generations to wonder over,
that this first democratic legisla-
ture elected pppulis, 30 the
United States Senate, the selection
being Hon. r. NJ. Patterson,
editor of the Rocky Mountain
News. The selection was made
in fusion caucus and he was
elected by ali the votes in the
legislature excep' those members
who represented the republican
party. The vote stood 80 to 10
the senate, and 90 TO 5 in th.-
house.
The bills which had been intro
duced a, the request Of the live

killed 10 either committee rooms
or before the house or senate. The
bill which fixed the liability of
railroad companies for killing
stock. passed the senate, but was
killed in the house, and all other
stock bills OF any importance
never reached the senate in time
for consideration.
The Thirteenth General Assem-.
bly, was dominated more by labor
interests than any other. The
labor lobby was the strongest that
was represented in Denver. They
had seats in the lobby, at the press
tables, and beside the members,
and were active. persistent and
successful Perhaps the most i'm
portant bill which they succeeded
in having passed, was the employ
ers' liability bill. This is one that
laboring men, and more especially
railroad men, have been trying to
get through past legislatures for
several years. Another important
measure to railroad employees,
which was passed, is one which
requires all surety companies to
make annual reports of their con-
dition 10 the secretary of state, and
also requires them. on Withdrawing
their bond, to give their reason in
writing for SO doing. Other
measures of minor importance to
laboring men were passed. but the
two which l mention were those

The state is required TO police
their property and give them the
same protection through our

all other property, and there is no
reason why the mines should not

duce bill in the legislature which
should solemnly declare that for
the purpose OF taxation the value
OF all agricultural land should be
one fourth OF the gross produce
raised from said land for the pre-
ceding year. This House Bill
No. enacts an inheritance law,
and it also provides for a system
Of state fees to be collected by the
courts. All parties to actions
before a Justices court pay a state
fee OF SO cents in addition to for
mer court costs, and for appear

me that it is necessary to burden
litigants with further court costs,
when they are now SO high that
few people can Afford to litigate.
l voted against this bill because l
thought il unjustly discriminating
against my part Of the state.
Before the final passage Of the bill

against the legality OF its passage,

New oetaA HOUSE.


Frank p. Mcclure, the opera
house builder and promoter who
visited La JuDta several weeks
ago, arrived in town Thursday.
Mr.. Billau has blue print OF the
plans OF the proposed opera house,
and would like to have them in
spected by every citizen OF La
Junta who is interested in secur-
ing the erection OF an opera house
that will be credit to La unta
and Otero county as well. Mr..
Billau will remain in La unta Tor
several weeks acquainting our
citizens with his proposition. and
We sincerely hope that the guar
antee necessary to secure $40, 900
opera house in this city will be
forthcoming without any difficulty.
The proposed opera house is to
be two story structure, so feet
wide by i2o feet deep, and will
cost $40, 900 Two store rooms,
I7x SO feet each in dimensions.
will occupy the front OF the bniid-
ing. with a lobby eleven feet wide
between leading to the opera
house proper. Four Office rooms
and the gallery will occupy the
second story. The honse will
have seating capacity OF $50,
with six boxes downstairs and four
upstairs, each containing seats for
ten persons. The stage will be
fifty feet wide. fifty feet high and
forty two feet deep. large enough
to accommodate the scenery OF any
company on the road The floors,
upstairs and downstairs, viii be on
gentle incline, covered with
brussels carpet, the opera chairs
being upholstered IN plush, and
every seat having an nnobstuncted
view OF the stage The building
will be well ventilated ard heated
by steam.
The citizens OF La Junta are
asked to subscribe $4,000 for the
opening nights performance to Sc
cure the erection OF a $40, 900
opera house that will be credit
to the town. Boxes will he sold
at SIoo each, seats on the lower
floor $40. and in the gallery S5l
each. There are certainly so
citizens in this community who
could afford to pay $40 each, 900
that could afford to pay $40 each,
and goo that could afford to pay
S. each. as a guarantee Tor the
realization OF this enterprise. Not
one cent will be due or payable
until the opera house is complete
and ready for occupancy.
An opera house in this commun
ity would not be paying invest
ment as a private enterprise, and
il the citizens OF La Junta fail to
give Mr.. McClure's proposition
the encouragement that should be
given it, we are doomed for the
next decade, with our present
opera house facilities, to suffer the
jibes and ridicule of every barn
storming aggregation that visits
this burg. We will never have
better opportunity to secure the
location of Thespian Temple in
La Junta thar will be an ornament
to the city, credit to the citi
zens of this community, as well as
their JOY and pride.
