ings of the law will probably not be
contested.
Cumulative Punishment Law.
The cumulative punishment measure
promises to make this state most un-
desirable residence for the criminal
classes and makes it possible TOR the
court to impose life sentence for re-
peated convictions for the same offense.
1t will be boon in the larger cities
where criminals are continually being
taken in to serve short sentences.
a statute that follows in its general
lines those in force in most of the
Eastern states directs the state labor
commissioner to visit any locality
where there may be dispute between
employers of labor and their employees
and to endeavor to adjust the differ
ences; and if his efforts in that direc-
ton should fail, then to use every
writing to the arbitration of their diff
ferences by some third party.
Curbato Imagination.
The statute which is said to to be
the most revolutionary of all, however,
is that which is directed against the
promoters of mining enterprises who
do not adhere in some measure to the
truth as to the merits of the companies
they represent. The punishment for
misrepresentation as described in the
statute is Imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary not less than one nor more
than five years or in the county Jail for
not more than one year, or by fine
not exceeding $4,000, or by both.
In addition to those enumerated
above there are dozens of other meas.
ures that will be found Of general in.
terest and in many cases of importance
to the public.
