shops may legally remain open on Sun
day. The BARRIERS of the state are re-
sponsible for the measure and the work.
ings of the law will probably not be
contested.
Cumulative Punishment Law.
The cumulative punishment measure
promises to make this state most I'M
desirable residence for the criminal
classes and makes it possible for 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
means to induce the parties to agree in
writing to the arbitration of their diff
ferences by some third party.
CurbstO 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-
louildIy uob icSS lhohN OiO hoi ihoi =
than FIVE years or in the county jail for
not more than one year, or by a fine
not exceeding So 900, or by both.
In addition to those enumerated
abave there ara dozens of other meas
ures that will be found of general in
terest and in many cases of importance
to the public.
