Scott Bill Amended.

The Senate in committee of the
whole Wednesday agreed to a number
OF amendments to Senator Scott's pri
mary election bill.
One amendment reduces the allow
arce for expenditures by candidates
for nomination at the primaries so thai
no aspirant for nomination for {
federation or state office may spent
more than $1,S00 and no aspirant fol
an office affecting a district smaller
than the entire state may spend more
than $500.
Another provides that candidates fol
the United States senate at the pri
maries shall go on the regular election
ballot and candidates for the Legisla
ture have the choice Of pledging them
selves to vote either for the choice OF
their party at the primaries or 70,
the choice of all of the voters at the
general election. They are not
obliged to make either pledge.
Another amendment withdraws the
ban placed upon political organizga
tions to prevent their getting behind
certain candidates before the primar
les. The judiciary committee believed
the organizations would do this by in.
direction regardless of restrictions and
it might better be permitted in the
open.

RECORD OF The SEVENTEENTH
COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Question of Reference.

In the Senate on Thursday, the 11th
inst. Senator Burger signified his in
tention to move for the recall from
the judiciary committee of all bills
that concern elections. The senator
has always insisted that such bills
should be referred to the judiciary
committee, but the Senate yesterday
refused to recall from the committee
on privileges and elections an election
bill that should have been referred to
the judiciary committee, according to
the practice of the body. and it was
after such refusal that Senator Burger
gave his notice. The effect of the
adoption of his motion, If he shoult
persist in his intention, would be to de-
lay indefinitely consideration of many
of the most important bills introduced.
The controversy started when the
committee on privileges and elections
made a favorable report on Senate bill
No. 202, by Senator Napier, providing
for an educational test for voters
Senator Burger at once made the
point that no bill should be referred
to the committee on privileges and
elections, holding that committee was
solely for the purpose Of hearing cleo
tion contests. He moved that the re
port be not received and that the bill
be recalled from the committee. This
motion was defeated, the vote being a
tie and the lieutenant governor voting
in the negative.
After more than an hour of discus
sion the bill was referred to the judi
ciary committee, whereupon Senator
Burger gave notice of his revolution.

Senator Crowley's bank guaranty
bill was reported.
Favorable committee reports were
also made on Cary's bill for new fish
and game law and on Tobin's and
Cary's bills for amendment of the live.

Senator Barela's joint memorial to
Congress, advocating the admission OF
New Mexico to statehood, was unani-
mously adopted, after Senator Scott
had secured promise from its author
that he would introduce a similar mo
morisl concerning the admission OF
Arizona.
