Provisions of the Bill Which Was
Passed by the House Monday. Its
Sailing i'm the Senate Is Not En-
pected to BE So Smooth. Gov
ernor May Veto 1t.
Following is a condensed summa-
nv of the convict bill which has been
adopted by the lower house OF the
general assembly:
No convicts are to be leased after
Dec. 81, 1911.
The convicts not used by the coun-
ties are to be leased one year at a
time
No lessee who has been cruel or
barbarous to convicts in the past,
as brought out in the investigation,
or reported by the penitentiary com
mittees, is to be leased conVlcts
again.
The net revenue derived from the
leasing of convicts for the years 1917
and 1911 shall go to a fund Tor es-
tablishing a permanent penltentlary
system.
Counties are to be allowed to work
on pro rata shares the conVlcts'
misdemeanor and felony alike.
Counties are to have first call on
convicts, leasing them from countles
not working cOnvicts.
The Convict broker is eliminated
by providing that all lessees must
either work their convicts or return
them to the prison commission for
releasing.
Any warden, deputy warden, guard
or other state employe guilty OF
cruelty is to be dismissed and pun
ished as for a misdemeanor.
The sentencing judge is to nave
discretion in sentencing female pris-
oners to farm or convict camp.
The races are to be separated;
this means white prisoners will go
to the state farm.

About Gates Across the Public Roads

Will Be Doing.
The fact that the stock law is not

and If is necessary to keep up a line
fence with gates across the public
roads between the two counties, may
dAnrive the residents of that section

Uncle Sam objects. He says it is no

and intimates plainly that the neces-
sity for it must be removed or he
will quit delivering the mail beyond

missioners of Calhoun county know
about it. In letter to the Calhoun
officials the Dawson postmaster says:
Gentlemen: By direction of the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General,
Division of Rural Delivery, 1 respect
fully call your attention to the fact
that the Postal Laws and Regulations
governing the installation and opera
ton of the rural delivery service re-
quire that all roads covered by rural
routes must be unobstructed by gates
which cannot be opened by carriers
without dismounting from their vehi-
cles.
There are two gates at the county
line of Terrell and Calhoun on Route
No. 3, and two on the same county
line on Route No 8. from this post
once, which serve a great number of
citizens of your CONTRIBUTIONS who
could not be served easily by other
routes and l am directed by the
Fostotlce Department to inform your
honorable body and the citizens in
,erested that unless within a reason
able time the gates in question are
either removed or equipped with
some device by which they may be
automatically opened the question of
Withdrawing rural service from the
roads affected will be given serious
consideration

COMPRESS CHARGES INCREASED
Railroad Commission Has Allowed
One Cent a Hundred Added.

An order was issued Friday by the
state railroad commission fixing the
rates of charges that must be used
by the compress companies of the
state, the same being under the
authority of the new railroad bill
passed a year ago reorganizing the
commission
The rates provided are Z cents a
hundred pounds for 6-band bales of
cotton, and So cents a hundred
pounds for 8band cotton, the charge
in each case being one cent higher
than has prevailed heretofore
The order was issued after con-
siderable investigation, which was be-
gun last winter on the application
of several Independent compress
companies. 1t is stated that the
formerly prevailing charges were the
lowest of any state.
Of course the increased charges
will be figured against the farmer
when he sells his cotton.

Evenly Divided.
The Holder convict bill continuing
the lease system ten years longer,
which was passed by the house by
big majority, now goes to the sem
ate.
However, the favorable action by
the house leaves the question in
a state far from settled. 1t must go
to the senate, where sailing will not
be as easy as it has been. 1t will
take the upper house several days
to dispose of the question, and it is
not improbable that the bill will be
changed in many particulars. The
sentiment of the senate on this vital
subject is much more evenly divided.
than it is in the house.
Governor Wants End.
1t is also not improbable that the
governor will veto the house bill if
it reaches him in it's present shape.
1t is said that he wants assurance
that an end will be put to the lease
system within limited period
Nominal assurance is given in the
bill now being considered, but such
is not binding. The next legislature
may continue the lease system in
definitely.

JUST SMOKE THn.

There II one thing certain, that
even though Senator Clayton vas de-
feated for reelection by the Jealousy
Of other politicians. he will etill have
more influence for the benent OF
Weld county at the state capitol than
all the elected representatives that
will be sent down there this winter
1t was Senator Clayton Who nrst
induced John Shafroth to try for
the governorship. and it was Senator
Clayton who secured his nomination
BY the democratic convention. Il
there 10 anything done for the State
Normal school this coming session
OF the legislature, it will be done
through Senator Clayton and Cover
nor Shafroth. and not through any
representative from Weld county.
We Just want to rub this into
some of you party-bound fellows who
place political affiliation above ev-
cry other obligation, moral, social
or religious. You know full we'll
that you are turning down the best
representative that Weld county ever
had In the state senate when you
put in every bit OF your energy to
defeat Clayton. 1t matters not to
you what a mans services have been.
II he is not Of your party he must
be killed OF. The democrats are
now In power in the state and n
may be that we can get some kind o.,
an election law through that will
put the kibosh on blind partisan pol
itics in this state.

This was all that we needed TO start

il was so and that things Will BOOM
But we doubt that politics had very

OF an indication of real prosperity
than IL betting on election reai
indication of what is going to nap
pen.
For instance, there was all kinds
of money to be had on bets that
the state of Colorado would not
elect . democratic Office holder. The
fellows that were on the inside In
republican politics were betting tnat
way freely. Now they are minus al
that money. Yet the complete turn
over of the state politically has not
affected the price OF sugar beets ana
potatoes one bit. Neihter has 1t
changed the peoples appetites ana
their necessity for clothes. So the
relation Of supply and demand OF the
necessities Of life will be virtually
the same and the price will also be
governed by these two, conditions
and not by the political faith of the
man who sits in the governors chair
or even in the presidential.
The plain fact is. that If people
have worn out their old clothes by
this fall they will buy new ones to
make up for the deficiency. Like
wise, they will lay in more generous
supplies of groceries, ETC., II they
have eaten up the barrels Of four,

gar and other goods that they had

We believe that il the condition OF
he people Of this section this fall.
Payments for beets will be coming
\ regularly now. and the ship
nents of potatoes will continue.
Things are therefor going to be
lively here this fall. The uneasi-
less felt last fall at this time in

Just what was the cause of the

it to the fight between republican

was revulsion of feeling on the
