COLORADO LEGISLATURE ADJouRNS

Sldte OI SOlOIduO duJouiueu pfoiupul
last night at II O'Clock midnight, th'
legal term of the session having ex
pired.
The closing hours Of each hOus'
were marked by less riotous scenel
than usual. The seats on the floor o
both houses were occupied by the cur
ious. who had come to see legisla
ture break up. They listened TO I
number Of congratulatory and cOncilia
tory speeches, the healing of breache,
made In the heated debates, done will
less disorder than is customary.
The Legislature broke several rec
ords, most of which were in astonish
ing directions. For many years thu
closing hour of each recurring assem-
bly, has been used in making com
promise on the general appropriation
bill, which has been held up by some
coterie pushing bad bills through. This
year the appropriation bill went to the
governor two days before the session
closed and was signed before adjourn
ment.
II the Fifteenth General Assembly
the business of both houses had beer
practically completed at 5 O'Clock on
the afternoon of the last day, leaving
all the time to midnight for general
visiting period among members. There
was no need of turning back the clock
no threats Of forcing an extra session
In order to get members to vote fol
measures they feared.
Another record broken WAS that nc
session at all of the House and only
brief session of the Senate was held
on the Sunday proceeding the last day
At that time the members felt that
business had been so far advanced that
Sunday session was unnecessary.
Among the bills of general applica-
tion that failed to pass are the rail
way commission bill, the bank exam
liner bill, the building and loan associa-
tion bills. the civil service bill, the To-
cal option bills, the bill for the con-
struction of state highways by convict
labor and number of other measures
desired by many citizens.
