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 1t 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
brlgadier 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.

strenuous ANTITRUST Bin.

Representative Howell of Denver
has offered bill against the trusts,
that is modelled after the Texas law
on that subject, in the main, though
1t includes many stringent provisions
from the laws of other states. 1t is
designed by its author to make trust
making a 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

accusations, my Democratic col

took exception to the charges in
strong language. and brought tsrth
much laughter wnen he saia: when
Governor Shafroth was Republican

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
AT COLORADO'S CAPITAL
Alleged Huerfano County Frauds.

In urging his resolution to appoint
committee to investigate alleged
election frauds in Huerfano and Las
Animas counties Senator Scott pro-
duced letter which, he said, was
from citizen of Huerfano. and n
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. its annual assessment
was based on a valuation OF 100000,
while the Rio Grande was assessed on
a valuation of 100000 and the Colo
RADIO & Southern on n 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.
1t 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, 1t was
stated, were voted through an inter
prefer. In Walsenburg, it was al
legged. the sheriff disposes of most of
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
room by nod of his head.

Ell Paso, Tex, Oct. 2.-Astonishing
statements are made by John Kenneth
Turner in the first of series of ar
ticles on Mexican peonage. After
spending year and half in Mexico
and visiting nearly every part of the
country, Mr.. Turner reports of his own
knowledge that men and women are
enslayed for life by the thousands
starved, beaten and sold. In our own
country peonage is occasionally dis
covered and the perpetrators prose-
cuted. 1t is never widespread In
Mexico, on the other hand, it is said to
be common in majority of States and
cities. Slaves are not only used on
the plantations, but as personal SER
wants, as laborers. as household
drudges
