Denver, July 21.-The General Assem-
bly, of Colorado convened yesterday I'M
der the call of the governor to pass an
appropriation bill in the place of one
held invalid by the courts.
The News prints the following syn
opsis of the days proceedings:
The Legislature convened in extra
ordinary session yesterday morning at
10 O'Clock, and no sooner were the
decks cleared of the business of organ
izing than the Republican majority of
the House trained its big gun on the
Senate in resolution that declared
the responsibility for the bunging OF
the appropriation bill, and the Nonse-
quent extra session, rested upon the
Democratic Senate. The resolution
was passed by strict party vote.
The Democrats in the Senate
cleared their decks of preliminary
business, and trained their big gun
upon the Republican House and gov
ernor, and planted an eight hour shot
"in their midst" The resolution
charged the House with having
smothered two eight-hour bills. and
the governor with ignoring the de
mands of the people of the state in
not including the eight-hour bill in his
call for an extraordinary session. The
resolution asks for a supplementary
call, promising the support of the Sen
ate to an eight-hour measure. All
resolutions must lie over one day un-
der the rule. An attempt of the Dem
ocrats to have it considered at once
was defeated All the Democrats vot-
ed for immediate consideration. and

BATTLE RACES FOR TWO DAYS
AT CUlDAD BOLIVAR, VENEZUELA

Caracas. Venezuela. July 22.-A mes
senger from Ciudad Bolivar reports
that the city was captured by the gov
ernmeut troops at S o'clock yesterday
morning tTuesday).
Since Sunday afternoon the battle
between the revolutionary forces at
Ciudad Bolivar and the Venezuelan
government army commanded by Cen
eral Gomez had ragged madly. Block at
ter block was destroyed. the govern
ment troops entering the city slowly.
All the houses had been barricaded and
when the revolutionists finally aban-
dOned the houses, after having taken
all that could be used for barricades or
TO otherwise stop the advance of the
government troops. they were immedi-
ately occupied by the government SOL
diers, who bored big holes in them so
as to communicate with. the next
House. The city appeared to have
been struck by a cyclone.
At O'Clock Sunday evening the gov
ernment forces arrived near the CEN

previously firing had diminished, but
it was heavier at II o'clock and illum-
mated the sky.

Effect of Flat Tax Decision.

The decision in the fiat tax case at
Ouray by Judge Theron Stevens does
not affect the cases against the Amer
lean Smelling and Refining Company,
now being prosecuted by the state, or
the pending cases against the railroads
wherein the state sues to collect the
amount due on the fiat tax for the past
two years. In discussing the subject,
Attorney General N. C. Miller said:
The question before Judge Stevens
was the validity of Section &C of the
Revenue Act of 1902. That statute
provides for the forfeiture of the right
to prosecute or defend suits in law or
in equity to corporations which have
failed to pay the fiat tax and this pen
atty follows, if the statute is good.
without any hearing.
Now, what Judge Stevens has de-
cided, is that to deprive corporation
in such manner of so important
right, is in violation of our own as
well as the national constitution. The
ruling of Judge Stevens in no way af-
fects the case pending before Judge
Carpenter
The case before Judge Carpenter is
founded upon Sections SO and Ga.
which impose tax or license fee, and
upon sections 67 and 6S which provide
the mode of procedure on the part of
the auditor if the license fee is not
paid.
The last of these sections provides
for the service of notice upon corpo-
rations in case they fail or neglect to
pay, and that their charters will be
forfeited and remain SO until they pay
the tax. Here is notice provided for
which relieves these statutes. in my
judgment, from the criticism of taking
away the right to do business without
due process of law. The latter phrase
has been litigated extensively and
some opportunity to be heard and con-
test seems to be the gist of the mean
ing Of that expression, and the notice
to the corporation undoubtedly i'm
plies that the corporations have the
right to appear and show that the au-
ditor is mistaken and that the tax is
paid. and so make some response.
Our proceedings against the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining Company is
a quo warranto, in which the corpora
ton is having a full hearing as to the
right of the state to deprive it of its
privilege of doing business in the
state.
Il understand that our courts forfeit
only the charters of domestic corpora
tions, the penalty as to foreign corpo-
rations is to deprive them of the right
to do business in the state My own
notion is that this can only be done by
a direct proceeding and this is the
manner in which the question is now
submitted to Judge Carpenter.
II consider the ruling of Judge Stew
ems has no bearing whatever upon the
pending case. We have other cases
against the railroads which will he
heard as soon as the issues can be
made up and the method of procedure
obviates all objections that Judge Ste
vens is reported to have raised in his
decision"

APPROPRIATION BILL BROUGHT
BEFORE COLORADO LEGISLATURE

with smotherng the eight-hour bill at
the regular session.
This seems to put the whole matter
up to the governor, who is somewhat
worried over the matter. not wishing
to assume the burden of another extra
session.
What is to be done about the pass
age of an cight-hour bill and who is to
take the initiative in getting such a
bill before the Legislature? That is the
great question at the state house these
days The House spends its time when
it is not busy with the appropriation
bill in telling Democrats that they
were responsible for the non-passage
of the bill. and say that it is ready and
willing at any time to pass an eight
hour bill but does not demand it The
Senate says that the House was to
blame for the extra session in passing
fake bill, and in smOthering the
eight-hour bill at the last session The
Senate yesterday passed resolutions
which say the governor should have
included this matter in the first call
Hence it is clearly up to the gov
ernor, and he is a much worried man
these days.
