Veterinary Examiners.

Senator Tobin's bill establishing
state board of veterinary examiners OF
three persons who shall license all
veterinary doctors, was passed to third
reading in the Senate. Graduates
Of veterinary colleges will be
granted licenses with the privi-
lege of placing VS." after their
names. All must take examination,
except veterinarians who have prac-
ticed in the state for three consecu.
tive years. Those who have not come
from colleges can not use the words
veterinary surgeon but must use
'non-graduate veterinary practitioner"
This is to prevent Misrepresentation by
unscientific veterinarians. The board
will serve without pay and receive nee
essary travelling expenses.

Drake DRAINAGE Bill.

The Drake drainage bill was passed
for third reading in the Senate Friday
after sharp discussion, which revolved
upon the point OF whether or not, un-
der the bill, drawn by Frank c. Goudy
and presented by Senator Drake, drain
age districts could be formed on the
eastern slope to draw water from the
western slope headwaters and divert
it to the plains east and north Of Den
ver The Drake bill provides that
drainage districts may carry water
from one watershed to another. Sena-
tor Napier declared this would allow
the eastern slope men to steal water
from the western slope and introduced
an amendment, which he said was
written in the handwriting and bore
the signature of the framer of the bill,
Frank c. Goudy. which declared that
water could not be diverted from one
watershed to another by drainage dis
tricts. Senator Napier's amendment
was lost by vote OF 13 to II and the
bill favorably recommended.

the commandant, was passed to third
reading. The United States laws re-
Quire that pensioners of the govern
ment shall not turn their money over
to anyone, but shall keep it themselves.
Senator Bohn, an old soldier. said it
was an outrage to make the command
ant guardian of the old soldiers, be-
sides being violation of the constitu-
ton. 1.-The custom arose because it
was feared that the old soldiers would
go into town pension day and get
drunk" said Senator Bohn. well, if
they want to get drunk, let them. They
have right to do so. They fought for
the country and have right to any
pleasure they may get out of their pen
sions. 1t is nobody's business" 1t was
stated that as much as $4,000 passes
through the commandant's hands from
this source alone every year.

Irrigation Measures.

There are three important irrigation
bills before the Legislature, introduced
by Senator Carringer and Representa-
tives Clark and Weiser, Senator Car
penter of the agriculture and irriga-
tion committee called a meeting or
those interested in irrigation, at which
meeting counsel for the various irriga-
tion districts agreed to submit their
written opinions to the committee on
the legal phase of the bills and the
relative merits. These opinions will
aid the committee greatly in consider
ing which bill to advocate. The three
bills under consideration of the COM
mttee greatly concern farmers and the
state as well.
1t i3 proposed to allow the entrance
of state lands into irrigation districts
in two of the bills and in the third to
allow owners of desert and homestead
government lands to come in under the
benefit of irrigation districts, while
paying for their lands. The irrigation
districts favor the bills because it
would give more compact acreage to
the districts.
The Carringer bill relates to the en-
trance of state lands into irrigation
districts. 1t is backed by the Land
board, which in one county has 10000
acres of land entered. The value of
the land to the state is increased be-
cause the lands come under the bene-
fits Of the districts water system.
The bill allows the district to tax the
land just as it would tax any other
land held by member of the district,
thereby adding to the revenue of the
district. The Clark bill permits the
state to come in under the district, al
though not becoming a member upon
the same footing as other members of
the district.

School Fraternities Heard.

Lengthy arguments for and against
the bill abolishing fraternal societies
among the pupils of the high schools
were made before the joint educational
committee of the Legislature Wednes-
day night The capacity of the Senate
chamber was taxed with crowd which
remained until midnight.
Frequent outbursts of applause and
cheering from the 300 or more boys
and girls from the high schools, who
crowded the galleries, indicated the in
terest that is being taken in the fight
over the pending legislation.
Much bitterness was manifest when
the anti-fraternity bill was taken up for
public discussion. The opponents of
the bill were led by Judge James J.
Banks, while Prof. William, H. Smiley.
principal of the East Denver high
school, led the forces which are fight
ing for the passage OF the measure.
Professor Smiley started the discus
sion by reading clippings from news
papers in all parts of the United States
showing that the fraternities are being
abolished He then read a dozen or
more letters without revealing the
Identity OF the writer's, in which fra
,ernities were attacked on the grounds
that they tend to draw social lines
among the pupils. that they have an
unwholesome effect on the students,
and that their abolition is necessary
from an educational standpoint.
Judge Banks then called on some of
the members Of the fraternities, and
Wells and Christian OF the manual
training school defended the societies.
Wells delivered an impassioned ad-
dress in defense Of, the fraternities and
seemed to make good impression. In
support of his contentious he produced
a petition signed by the parents Of $50
frat" members.
