Question Of Reference.

In the Senate on Thursday, the 18th
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 1t was
after such refusal that Senator Burger
gave his notice. The effect OF the
adoption of his motion, if he should
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 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
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
ary motion.
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
stock inspection law.
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 me-
mortal concerning the admission OF
Arizona.
Senator Stephen introduced reso-
luton declaring it to be the sense Of
the Senate that no county division bill
should be considered at this session.

Scott Bill Amended.

The Senate in committee of the
whole Wednesday agreed to a number
OF amendments to Senator SCOTS pri-
mary election bill.
One amendment reduces the allow
arce for expenditures by candidates
for nomination at the primaries so that
no aspirant for nomination for n
federation or state office may spend
more than $500 and no aspirant for
an office affecting a district smaller
than the entire state may spend more
than $500.
Another provides that candidates for
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 for
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.

At hearing before the House com

Monday a hearing was given to permit
the people of Ell Paso and Ebert coun-

meetings within the proposed new
county of Holt and at Colorado
Springs, to protest against the forma-

up of Ell Paso and Elbert in order to
form the new county.
They protested that the majority of
the people in the district affected did
not want it and adverted severely upon
the position maintained by Representa-

Messrs. Jones and Richards, who
would live in Holt county, If formed,
urged that it be erected, giving glow

WHAT COLORADO LAWMAKERS
ARE DOING AT DENVER
House Proceedings Monday.


Following are the House proceed.
hugs of Monday, the 18th inst, as re.
ported in the Denver Republican:
In committee of the whole, during
the morning session, the initiative and
referendum bill presented by Mr.. Skin.
ner was taken up again. When it first
appeared in the committee several
days before, it had aroused a heated
discussion. Yesterday it was placid
ly received, and supported by nearly
all of the majority. Mr.. Garman
moved to include in its provisions
what is known as "the recall" that
the people may vote out of office by
petition those they have already voted
in, if dissatisfied with any Of their
acts.
Mr.. Greenman was sorry to see the
amendment proposed, for he could see
a contingency in the near future when
aLegislature had been in session about
thirty days, that the people would rise
almost en- masse and vote from office
all those they had placed in. "Then,
he said, I'VE might have no Legisla-
ture at ALL"
ton of the amendment might kill the
bill, which was purely for the one pur-
| pose. After some discussion the Gar
man amendment was voted down. I'M
mediately thereafter the House passed
the main bill on second reading.
Two bills providing for the immedi-
ate needs of the Soldiers and Sailors
Home and the State Capitol We're also
passed on second reading in commit
tee of the whole.
When third readings were taken up
errors in the engrossment of two
bills and a desire to amend the title
in two others caused their being held
over for a day.
A number were found to be all
right and We're given final action.
Among these were one to have the
law governing the Soldiers and Sail
ors' Home conform to the federal law
on such homes; one to facilitate the
consolidation of adjoining school dis
tricts. one to make Mountain Stand
ard time legal time in the state, and
| bills to amend the charters of the cit
les of Central City and Black Hawk.
Hurd's eight-hour bill, applying 10
workmen in mines, smelters. mills and
like places, was also passed on third
reading.
The House voted to give the use of
the chamber Wednesday evening 10
the joint committees of banking of the
House and Senate. Two former gov
ernors will appear to discuss the bank
guarantee law. These are former gov
ernor C. S. Thomas, who drafted the
bill, and former governor Alva Adams
who favors only the section in relation
to guarantees. declaring the balance to
be vicious and poor legislation.

Washington.-In the opinion OF

That he will be the premier in the
Taft Cabinet was again positively
stated by Mr.. Taft Tuesday night at

made after two conferences between
the President-elect and Mr. Knox.
Mr. Taft declared no court could en-

appointment, for the reason that the
first question that would arise in such
a proceeding would be whether Mr.,
Knox was a "de facto" official of the

have to be answered in the affirma-
