LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
At C0LORADO'S CAPITAL
Militia Bill Considered.

The morning session of the Hous
Monday was taken up with the second
reading of II. B. Il. Strickland, to
provide that the rules governing the
state militia shall be the same as
those of the national government. as
provided in the Dick law According
to that enactment the national gov
ernment will give aid to the national
guard in those states only that make
the organization OF the state guard
conform to that of the regular army.
The action was taken SO that. in case
of war when the state guard shall be
called upon to take the field. no reor-
ganization will be necessary. Troops
may then simply step into the place
assigned them.
No general objection was made to
the bill, members merely trying to so
amend it that nothing would be over
looked. Some of the labor men could
not overlook the opportunity to ex-
press their disapproval of the guard
as whole, and especially Of the part
OF the present law which gives the
governor the right to call out the
guard in cases of emergency
Mr.. Metz of Pueblo, referred to the
troubles at Colorado City and Cripple
Creek several years ago, asserting that
the governors at those times had mis-
used the powers placed in their hands
Mr.. Hurd of Boulder, said he was in
favor of law and order. but believed
it could be better maintained without
the militia than with it. Some day it
may give lot of you free rides out of
the state" He added, You may tell
Teddy the First that we don't want
his S31, 900 year, If that is the object
of this bill to get that"
Mr.. Bellesfield sought to have the
salary of the adjutant general SET at
s1,s00, the present figure, instead of
the s2.40o provided in the bill. motion
that was lost. Mr. Bellesfield also
made some strong comments on the
use of the guard by past governors.

with plenty of money.
The bill prevented the appointment

the United States army or the Colo
RADIO national guard may hold the

Three New Banking Bills.

Three new banking bills were intro
duced on Thursday nights session in
both Houses. The guaranty law drafted
by Attorney l.. Ward Bannister along
the lines of the Massachusetts law to
meet the wishes of the bankers, was
introduced in the Senate Jointly by
Burris, Cary and Casaday, and in the
House by Howell. The three senators
also introduced bills amending the
present banking laws to increase the
power of the bank commissioner, to
provide for cash reserves in the state
banks and to bar any officer or direc-
tor of bank, or corporation in which
he is interested. from borrowing from
the bank without the consent of ma
jority of the directors and prohibiting
private bankers from borrowing at all;
also bill to provide for the appoint
ment of a commission to codify and
suggest changes and improvements in
the banking laws and report to the next
Legislature. The same measures were
introduced in the House by Messrs.
Strickland and Walker.

LONG WARS DUE TO WHISPERS.
Trivial Incident Led to Three Hun

For ages boards were the delight of
ancient beauties. The sight of q

ror and aversion. To obey the injunc-
tions of his bishops, Louis VII. of
France cropped his hair a la pompa-

To Test Forestry RIGHTS.

The bill prepared by Attorney Jonn
r. Barnett authorizing him to test the
legality of the forestry service rules,
and the so-called encroachment of the
federal government upon states rights
in this respect, is sweeping in its char
acter. Not only does it permit an in
vestigation and test Of the forestry
service ruses and laws, but also of the
federal agricultural and interior de-
partments.
Perhaps the most drastic feature of
it is that it authorizes the attorney
general to commence and prosecute
government officials under the civil
and criminal statutes, wherever it is
found that they have encroached upon
state rights or usurped them. 1t also
authorizes him to intervene on behalf
of the state OF Colorado in any case
brought by an individual or association
against the government, or in any case
brought by the government against in
dividuals or associations. For the pur-
pose of prosecution $4,000 is appro-
priated by the bill to allow him to carry
on the work The attorney general
did not believe that he possessed the
power to prosecute under the present
statutes, SO in order to carry out the
recommendations in Governor Shat
roth's inaugural address, he drew the
special bill

samos a. 4 Birthplace.

Samos, the autonomous Greek
island under Turkish suzerainty,
which has once more been the scene
OF trouble, is one of the few lucky re-
gions on earth that have no national
debt. 1t is also one OF the few places
in that part Of the world at which
Homer was not born. But as a birth
place Samos nevertheless ranks high.
AS the home Of the first triremes 1t
was the originator Of sea power.
Thence came the first bold Greek mar.
iner who sailed out through the
Straits of Gibraltar into the Atlantic.
Above all. 1t was the birthplace Of
Pythagoras. of whom Samos is very
proud to this day. Its great college.
the Pythagoreum. is attended by pu-
pills from Crete and other islands, and
has been called by Samian writer
"a lighthouse. spreading its light far

Game ard Fish Bills.

The joint committees of House and
seEate On fish and game held an eX-
tended session Monday night to listen
to the expressed wishes of many in
terested in the legislation before those
committees. The greater part OF the
evening was taken up with discussions
Of the bill to amend the present law
concerning the manner Of paying The
bills of the department The Humane
society made strong plea for closed
season On deer for five years. Other
arguments were in relation to the
hunting licenses. fishing licenses and
the time for permitting hunting. A
plan to have fish licenses for every
with strong opposition, as it would
compel each boy with his twine string
and bent hook to take out license
or suffer punishment for angling for
minnows.
Game wardens asked a change in the
law. establishing a residence period
for those who wish to take out hunting
licenses. An instance was given of
where hunters from Kentucky last year
took out residence licenses, and when
arrested for hunting, declared their
intention OF remaining in the state,
which was sufficient under the law.
But in a week after, through with
their trip. they were back in Ken
lucky. If the law contained a provis-
ion that only those who had acquired
the right to vote in the state were per-
mitted to take out the residence IL
cense, the wardens thought a means
fer eyading taxes would be overcome.

Speaker Lubers OF the House has
made up his committees on forest re-
serves and forestry, the new commit

committee on rules. He gave first
place to Mr. Blakey of Lake and sec
ond place to Mr. Doyle of Ell Paso and
Teller. The other members are
Messrs. Ashby, Wallbridge. Rubin,
Wheeler. Ohler, Campbell and Trindle.
The selections were guided by an
agreement that those chosen should
represent counties in which are forest
reserves of the federal government.

mittee during the last days for the in

Bill to Curb spendthrifts.

Senator De Long has introduced a
bill to prevent married men from dissi-
pating their fortunes. Senator De
Longs idea is to allow the state to ap-
point a conservator Of a mans estate if
he begins to spend his money foolishly,
just as the county does in the case Of
an insane man. For fool is an insane
man, in Senator De Longs notion.
Those who inherit few thousand dol

to get away with small fortunes are
