National Guard Bill.

Mr.. Strickland, in the House, has
put in an amended copy of the bill
pr.jented two years ago to compel the
organization of the state militia to
conform to the regulations OF the
United States army. This bill was de-
feated in the Sixteenth General AS.
sembly on the plea that it was pre-.
sented for the purpose of legislating
out of office certain of the officers OF
the guard, and the plea gained
strength as 1t was found the national
army is not now organized on the
brigade formation" of which army
men speak. Had the proposed law been
enacted, it was stated, the office OF
brigadier general would have been
abolished. Mr.. Strickland has avoided
this objection by providing that all
present officers of the guard shall hold
their Offices for two years, or until
January of 1910.

Bill for Drainage Districts.

An important addition to the irriga-

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
AT COL0RAD0'S CAPITAL
Alleged Auerfano County Frauds.

In urging his resolution to appoint
committee to investigate alleged
election frauds in Huerfano and Las
Animas counties Senator Scott pro-
duced a letter which, he said, was
from citizen of Huerfano, and a
man who has taken part in the coun-
ellis of the state, though refusing to
give his name.
The letter stated that election
frauds had prevailed in Huerfano and
Las Animas for eighteen years; that
while the Colorado Fuel & Iron Com
pany owns more than either the Rio
Grande or Colorado & Southern rail
road companies, it's annual assessment
was based on valuation or 100000,
while the Rio Grande was assessed on
a valuation of 100000 and the Colo
rado & Southern on a valuation of
100000. The result, the latter
claimed, was that the revenue of the
coal mines was levied from the agri-
cultural and business interests. Hay
is the largest agricultural crop and
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company
is the largest consumer of the product,
it was stated-yet no farmer can find
a market, according to the letter, un-
less he pledges eternal fidelity to the
fuel company. And, further, the far
mer cannot get water for his irrigat.
ing purposes unless voting as told
MeXicans, who cannot speak, read or
write the English language, it was
stated, were voted through an inter

the criminal business by telling the
prisoner he can settle for so much
money, and, like Caesar of old, who
ruled fate by his thumb, he may con
denim or acquit prisoner in the court

Strenuous Antitrust Bill.

Representative Howell of Denver
has offered bill against the trusts,
that is modelled after the Texas law
on that subject, in the main, though
it includes many stringent provisions
from the laws of other states. 1t is
designed by its author to make trust
making losing venture. The bill de-
clares that all trusts and combinations
are illegal, and that anyone found
guilty of forming one or becoming a
member Of one shall be fined from
$500 to $4,000. In addition, upon
complaint to the courts. the right to
operate In the state shall be declared
forfeited. Another section provides
that any one who buys goods from a
trust need not pay for the same, and
that proof Of the violation of the act
shall be evidence sufficient to "call
off" the debt.

Election Fraud Resolution.

In conformity with one of the rec
concentrations of Gov. John F. Sha-

Tully Scott offered resolution call
ing for an investigation of the alleged
election frauds in Huerfano and Las
Animas counties.
Senator Scott made his resolution
sweeping in its character, and applied
to the political connections of indus
trial corporations in these counties,
meaning, as Governor Shafroth indi-
Gated, the alleged frauds in the coal
camps of the counties. While it per-
mits Investigations of the books of the
corporations there, it is not intended
to be an investigation along any other
lines, as Senator Scott stated after its

NO DANGER FROM JAPANESE I'M.
MIGRATION AND AGITAToRs
ONLY MAKE TROUBLE.

Sacramento, Cal.-President Roose-
welt has taken hand in the anti-Jap-
anese legislation now before the Cali
fornia Legislature and has asked the
governor to take steps to have all legis-
lation held up until the President can
be heard in the matter
In telegram sent Saturday this re-
quest was embodied and letter is en-
route to Sacramento which will give
the chief executives views and wishes
in the matter of Legislation against the
Little brown men,"
According to a statement made by
Governor Gillett there will be no legis
lation against the Japanese at this ses-
sion of the Legislature.
The legislators who have introduced
radical anti-Japanese measures resent
interference by the President and gov
ernor and say they will fight.
President Roosevelt's letter to Gov
ernor Gillett dated January 10th, says:
81 am greatly concerned over the
anti-Japanese bills which are appar
emily going through or are on their
way in the California Legislature. They
are in every sense most unfortunate.
At last We have in first class working
order the arrangement which with
such difficulty we succeeded in getting
through two years ago. The Japanese
government is obviously acting in good
faith. During the six months ending
October 31st, last, the total number of
Japanese who have come to the main
land of the United States has been
2.074, and the total number who have
left has been 3.1S1. In other words.
the whole object nominally desired by
those who wish to prevent the incom-
ing of Japanese laborers has been
achieved.
More Japanese are leaving the
country than are coming in, and by
years the number of Japanese here
will be no greater than the number OF
Americans in Japan; that is, the move
ment will be as normal in one case as
in the other, which is just as we de-
sire There is. therefore. no shadow
of excuse for action which will simply
produce great irritation and may result
in upsetting the present agreement ard
throwing open the whole situation
again.
These agitators have themselves to
thank If trouble comes from what they
do, if there is any rush or influx of
Japanese hither. They hamper the ma
tional government in what it has now
SO efficiently accomplished-the agree
ment by peaceful means, and through
the friendly initiative of the Japanese
government, to keep Japanese immi-
grants out of the United States save
as Americans themselves visit Japan.
Is it not possible to get the Legisla-
ture to realize one great unwisdom
from the standpoint of the country at
large, and above all from the stand
point of California, of what is being
done?"
