Proposed Charter Provisions.

One of the most important reports
get submitted to the charter convention
is that presented by the committee on
epublic utilities. The report is divided
into four chapters, designated as fol-
lows: Public utilities, works and ways;
franchises for public utilities; fran
chises for particular utilities with sub
divisions treating of street and other
railways, and operation. This last
chapter is still incomplete, as the COM
mittee is awaiting data The report is
very lengthy, covering over thirty
pages of typewriter matter.
Section l of chapter l provides that
the city and county of Denver shall
have the power, within or without its
territorial limits TO construct, con-
demn, purchase, acquire. lease add to,
| maintain, own, conduct and operate,
water works. light and power plants,
| transportation systems. heating plants
| and other public utilities or other
| works or ways, local in use and extent,
in whole or in part and everything re-
| quired therefor for the use of said city
| and county and for the inhabitants
| thereof The section also provides that
| no contract or agreement for the acQui-
sition. or for the leasing or disposing
of any public utility so acquired by the
| city and county shall be entered into
| by the council without first submitting
the same to the voters. 1t is provided
in section 2 that the city may acquire
public utilities by enforcing proposed
purchases by proceedings in law as in
the taking of land for public use by
right of eminent domain under the con-
etitution and general laws of the state.

Yet his parting words were not of the

were whispered benedictions upon the

at the bedside, and the last look of his
almost sightless eyes was toward the
great ivory crucifix hanging in the
death chamber. Practically all the
cardinals now in Rome, kneeling at the
bedside, watched the passing of his
soul. Earlier in the day Cardinal Sera-

THE LEGISLATURE OF COLORADO
CONVENES in EXTRA SESSION

only seventeen Democrats present and
voting, the resolution went over"
Following is the Republicans sum
mary:
Yesterday the Legislature met in
extraordinary session under the call
of the governor to pass a general ap-
preparation bill, in lieu of one sus-
pended in court on suspicion, but the
two branches Immediately proceeded
to back and fill on an eight-hour meas
ure. The Senate Democrats introduced
resolution that If the governor would
issue another call embodying an eight
hour proposition they would support it,
but it Went over until to-day.
The Republicans in the House eau
cused and decided to pass a resolution
to-day declaring that party ready to
stand by the governor should he deter
mine to call second extraordinary
session. The Democrats have gone
still further in political jockeying. and
have circulated petition among the
legislators to the governor for the sec
ond call.
An appropriation bill was intro
duced in the House and passed first
reading. 1t is identical with the one
that passed the regular session. The
Senate Democrats threaten to insti-
tute investigations against state Offices
and individuals as party move. The
House has declared for an adjournment

cision regarding his course on second

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
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 flat 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 a
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 63 and "a,
which impose tax or license fee. and
upon sections 67 and 68. which provide
the mode of procedure on the part of
the auditor il 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
quo warranto, in which the corpora
ton is having 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
direct proceeding and this is the
manner in which the question is now
submitted to Judge Carnenter
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 be
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"

Denver, July 21.-The General Assem-
bly, of Colorado convened yesterday un-
der the call of the governor, to pass an
appropriation bill in the place of one
held invalid by the courts.

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
the House trained its big gun on the
Senate in a resolution that declared
the responsibility for the bungling of
the appropriation bill, and the conse-
quent extra session, rested upon the

was passed by strict party vote.
THE Democrats in the Senate

business, and trained their big gun

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
