Tho Senate committee on state In
stitutions recommends that tn" male
inmates OF the various penal and re-
forMatory institutions be provided
with the necessary equipment and ma.
tcral requisite for the making OF the
necessary shoes and clothing for uso
OF the inmates OF the state institu-
l
furnish the same. This would provide
the inmates with facilities for learning
various trades. which would be OF great
benefit to them after leaving the Insti.
tutIons where they are confined, and
at the same time would give them ON
ploymcnt during their confinement,
which nov appears to be great nccuB-
sity. The wardcnB and suporin,cnd.
cnts OF the institutions heartily favor
this idea, and the committee believes
that this system would alGo result in
n great financial saving annually to tho
state.
In an interview In relation to the
Drake railroad commission bill, intro
duccd by Senator Drake. Governor
Buchtel is quoted as saying: There
are serious difficulties In making a rail
way rate law. The peril Is that capital
may be frightened from Colorado. Tho
purpose OF the bill AS now introduced
Is to place abundant power In tno
hands OF the railway commission and
at the same time give Il sense OF Sc
curity to capital. 1t is believed that
this result has teen attained in the
provisions Of this bill This bill pro
poses that the commission shall hear
complaints and II the dI0icultiCS arc
not adjusted by tho commission in n
friendly way. the commission then has
authority to make II change in ratcg,
The change however, liz not to
go into effect until an appeal has been
taken. both to the District Court and
the Supreme Court. The bill provides
that this business snail take prece-
dcncc over all other business in the
courts excepting only criminal bust
ness So II would hc possible to Sc
euro n final decision at the end OF ap-
proximatoly ton days or two weeks. az

One OF the most important measures
to come before tho present Icgisla. :
turc is n measure providing for the
state inspection of meat killed In small
Strengthening houses. similar to tho
manner In which government experts
examine meat in the larger packing
plants. So little attention is paid to
this important matter that all of the
beef which Is not 1T for use In the
larger packing houses Is said to be
turned over to the smaller houses,
where much of II Is used and placed on
sale locally. In many instances the
presence Of even decided tubcrculnr In.
fection is not detected. and more often
1t is not looked for, It il alleged. Rep.
resentative Cannon has introduced n
bill to provide for the inspection OF
the email slaughtering houses and all
markets and cold storage plants. The
bill. AZ introduced by Mr.. Cannon, has
been prepared by Dean Carlyle and
Dr. Glover Of the State Agricultural
College. and DR.. c. G. Lamp, the state
veterinarian. at the request of the gov.
ernor. "The necessity for this bill will
be apparent" says Governor Buchtel.
when facts like the following are con.
sidercd: Dean Carlyle and Doctor
Glover, and DIR. G. G. Lamb visited,
incoSnito, one OF the small slaughter.
Ing houses in Colorado, and were
present when the tubercular animals
were butchered. When the knife was
driven into the neck Of one OF these
animals a sack OF tuberculnr puss, at
least half gallon In quantity, was
opened. The knife was not even wiped
on while the butcher went forward
with the work Of dressing the car.
