GOVERNOR SIGNS
THE REVENUE BILL
(Denver Post.)

tDeuNeT IObl.J
The new revenue bill became law
at o'clock Saturday afternoon, the
governor having attached his sigma
ture to the enrolled copy at that hour
AS the bill contains the emergency
clause it is effective Immediately.
Much excitement was caused at the
capitol yesterday by report that a
passage, and that If 1t did not result
in invalidating the law the error
would prevent the operation of the
law for ninety days.
Representative Dickerson of Elbert
county and Representative Hammond
of Delta county were telling it around
that the roll was called on the emer-
gency clause in the house after the
bill had been passed as amended by
the conference committee. Chief
Clerk Hamilton and his assistant, T.
NJ. Lyons, who have charge of the
journals until they are turned over
to the secretary of state, refused the
request of several members to go
through the papers and see If the
claim was true. The action on the
part of the clerks added alarm to the
disquieting rumor, but Mr. Lyons
holds that as he and his chief are re-
sponsble for the safe keeping of the
records they will permit no one, not
even the governor. to look through
them until they are out of their hands.
If the bill should not become effect
i've for ninety days, owing to the alb
sence of the emergency clause, it
would cause endless trouble to state
officials and seriously impair the rev
enues for this year.
Both clerks hold that the emergen-
cy clause passed regularly and most
of the members of the house who were
left in the city yesterday afternoon
hold to the same view. They de-
clare that Dickerson and Hammond
were absent when the roll was called.
Even IL the clause was not passed
after the bill was passed as amended
by the conference, it was adopted
regularly on third reading of the bill,
and that 1t is claimed makes 1t en-
tirely constitutional.
Governor Orman and Attorney Gen
eral Post both declared the technical
claim is absurd AS long as the
emergency clause passed third read
ing there can be no question about its

Protection for Public Men.

An Austrian inventor has perfec-
ed garment, which, 1t is claimed
will resist a knife thrust or a bullet
from an assassin's pistol Its adop-
tion will furnish wonderful protec-
tlon to rulers and public men. and
while 1t is necessary to protect
their bodies from harm on the out
side, 1t is infinitely more important
to protect them from danger on the
inside, such as may arise from a dis
ordered stomach, weak kidneys or
impure blood. The best health max
er and protector known to science Is
the old reliable Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. For fifty years 1t has been
making sickly people well by curing
all such ailments as headache. indi-
gestion, flatulency, and insomnia.
1t is also splendeid spring tonic
and blood purifier aud should be in
every household.

regularity they say.

regularity they say.
The governor is very glad that the
eAua session is a dead issue, and 1t
is apparent from his jovial demeanoy
today that when the legislative gayAs
we're pounded for the last time Friday
night, a heavy load was lifted from
his mind.
Yes, / am glad that it Is over" he
said with smile that lighted up the
executive chamber.
They might have got through S3Don-
er but, taking 1t all in all. they did
very WELL" he continued.
"The revenue bill as it stands nov
| is a first class measure, fair to every
| body, and law that every man who
| has the interests of the state will
commend when he understands its
provisions clearly. l think every
section of it is legal and that it is alb
solutely safe from any attack that
might be made upon it, l have read
over the bill as amended, and l find
it reads perfectly"
There were number of rumors
afoat about threatened legal proceed
ings to test the validity of the bill
in the courts as soon as the collection
of taxes is commenced, but the state
officials pay little or no attention to
them, as the general opinion about
the capitol is that the bill will not be
endangered.
Representative Rawalt still believes
that the mining section will be de-
clared unconstitutional if it Is ques-
toned before a legal tribunal, but as
the large mine owners are satisfied
with the methods of assessment pro-
i. yided it is not likely that any effort
will be made to force the section to
legal test.
The revenue law Of 1901 provided
for the collection of a revenue Of
about s95O.000 annually.
Owing to the reduction in the fiat
tax under the new law and the fact
that railroad assessments will be in
the hands of the state board Of eHlal-
ization under the new law, the above
amount will be reduced somewhat
An approximate estimate of the rev
enue for 1902 is $8S0,000, which will
be more than enough to run the state
government unless there is unprece-
dented extravaganza.
The Legislators were paid OFF yester-
day and the outof-town members had
all left for their homes last night, all
: pretending TO be glad the session was
u u over.

The strike was precipitated by the
discharge of one of the men on the
City mine for drunkenness, and the
management claim to have this right
of enforcing rules when men incapa
citate themselves for work, the man
in question making it practice to be
out four or five days every pay day
and the management wanted his place
supplied. The men then demanded
an increase of Is cents per ton. This
was refused. When the men were
out month ago they signed an agree
ment to give ten days notice in case
of dissatisfaction with the wage scale
This has not been complied with ant
it is felt that the men must live VI
to their agreements il they are to bt

miners were given notice to return
to work today if they expected to be
retained. but up to noon none of the
men had done so.
