Who Owns the Saloons?

The editor of the Wine and Spirit
Gazette, no mean authority on the
liquor business, says:
About four-f1fths Of the saloons Of
the country are owned by the brew
ers under chattel mortgages. The
brewers have protected their rights
by properly drawn legal documents
in such a way as to leave the poor fel.
low who runs the saloon thus mort

How is the business Of the chart

Monday the brewers collector. ap-

the background stand the represen-

Often happens that the sum paid to
the brewers collector consists to a
large extent Of the dimes and nickels
that the saloon-keeper had to take
out of the cash drawer. After the
brewer has thus been satisfied, ur
steps the cigar man; but only in rare
instances something Is left for him.
The representatives of the soda water
manufacturer, distiller and whole

the transaction, may well exclaim.

WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE
NOW IN SESSION AT DENVER
Militia Bill Considered.

The morning session of the House
Monday was taken up with the second
reading of H. B. II. 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 Jaw. According
to that enactment the national gov
eminent 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 1t 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.

troubles at Colorado City and Cripple

used the powers placed in their hands.

informed the department OF agricul-
ture at Washington that IL farmers In

Secretary Wilson now plans to develop

what books shall be purchased. and to
supply such libraries with department

Joint Invitation to Pinehot.

The Joint resolution presented by
Senator De Long inviting Clifford
PichOt. national forester. to address a
Joint session of the House and Sen
ate was adopted in the Senate by a
Senator De Long defended the pol
icies and methods of Pinchot, declar-
ing that he believed the people OF the
state were with Pinchot, and that 1t
was the corporations and the big cat
tlemen that were opposed to him.
The corporations can take care of
themselves" said Senator Wood. In
my district, it is the widows, the or
phans and the old soldiers. the people
who have been driven from pillar to
post by this man Pinchot who are
against him"
should certainly ask Pinchot to come
here and hear these charges" replied
Senator De Long. He should be
brought face to face with his accus-
ers. The governor should invite the
men who are most familiar with for

Pinchot. lay before him their griev-
ances and demand redress"
81 shall gladly vote for your resolu-
tion," said Senator Wood. IF Pinchot
will come here and answer all the
questions that the people are eager
to put to him, we will do nothing else
at this session"
Senator belong entered into long
and elaborate defense of the national
forestry service. but he admitted that
II had adopted some rules and regu-
lations that were unjust. and he
argued that 1t would be far better to
tell Pinchot of such injustice than to
spend thousands Of dollars In the
prosecution Of a lawsuit which would
probably be thrown out Of court.
Senator Ehrhardt, replying to Sen
ator De Long. told OF case In Chat
fee county where prospectors who had
been working for fifteen years on a
mining claim were required to prove
that II was a mineral claim A forest
ranger reported to the contrary. and
II was not until after they had spent
two years and more than $500 that
they were able to get their application
for patent passed over the objections
of the Pinchot bureau.
Senator Napier moved an amend.
ment to Senator De Longs -esolu-
ton, TO that the invitation to Pincho,
should be for his appearance before
the forestry committees Of the Senate
and House m joint session. instead of
before a joint session OF the entire
Houses.
Senator O'Connell objected to the
states humiliating itself by asking
any man to modify arbitrary. unrea.
sonable and unlawful rules. He he.
lieved II would be far better first to
go into court and fight Pinchot to a
finish.
III Pinchot should win. want to
emigra,e to some country. where they
never make any pretentions to liberty
or freedom" he added.
Senator Napier's proposed amend
ment was defeated by a vote of - To
2, after which the resolution was
adopted.
