committee of one senator and two rep
resentatives to visit the state peniten-
tiaries of Kansas and Minnesota in or
der to gather statistics for the pur-
pose of drafting a bill for the estab-
lishment of twine factory at Canon
City. The expenses of the committee
will be limited to 5000. The resolution
was passed, although Senator Stephen
raised the question whether it would
interfere with free labor to have the
convicts manufacture twine. 1t was
not SO regarded by the senators, how

Proposed Election Law Changes

Reforms in a number of the laws
governing elections are contemplated
in bills presented in the House by Mr..
Helbig. One provides that judges of
elections in adjoining precincts must
alternate in party control. That is, if
the judges in one precinct are two Re-
publicans and one Democrat, the next
must have two Democrats and one Re-
publican. Another bill is to abolish al
together interpreters and other assist.
ance to illiterate voters. 1t provides
that no voter may be given help in pre-
pairing his ballot unless he is physically
unable to write his name. though hav-
ing the knowledge of how it should be
written if his hands were in condition
to form the characters.

incompetent Clerks.

Speaker Lubers of the House is
troubled with complaints from the COM
mittees to which incompetent clerks
have been assigned. When called upon
for a report Mr.. Howell, chairman of
the committee on House employees, said
that he had tried his best to get those
who stood for these clerk to get them
to resign, but without result His re-
port had been delayed in the hope of
making some arrangement without
bringing the matter on the floor of the
house, thus creating scandal and hui
initiating the clerks involved.

Renuires Full Meinht.

Mr.. Daily of Ell Paso has introduced
a bill providing for a state examiner
of weights and measures. Under this
bill every weight in the state must be
at standard, and every package of mer-
chandise, whether breakfast food or
soap or other substance, shipped in and
purporting to be of a certain weight
must have the advertised amount of
goods, exclusive of the weight of wrap
per, box or covering. The author of
the bill has a statement from Mr.. Bent,
former state treasurer, that nearly a
million dollars year is taken from
people of the state because of short
weights.

Pe-ru-na for Colds
Would Bar the Judiciary.

Young ministers sometimes say
some very irreverent things when first
they get in harness, but seldom are
SO broadly condemnatory as the young
clergyman who was called upon to act
as chaplain at the opening of a recent
term of court down in Maine.
After covering everything he could
think of as appropriate to say from re-
ligion to law, he closed his prayer
with the supplication: And, finally,
may we all be gathered in the happy
lapd where there are no courts, no
lawyers and no judges"
Then they changed chaplains.

Time of Payinq Taxes.

Through the Real Estate Exchange
of Denver bill has been presented
to the House making some changes
in the time for paying taxes. 1t pro-
vides that the second half of taxes
must be paid by June 30th, so that de-
linquents may be advertised in Sep
tember. Under the present law the
second half is paid by August 31st and
the sale of lands is made in November.
These delays cause confusion and an
obstruction of work in county offices,
so that the employment of extra help
is needed.

A Needed Chance.

The navy department recently re-
ceived from the commander-in-chief
of the feet an official communication
relative to certain changes recon-
mended by him to be made in the uni
form shirt of the enlisted men. In ac-
cordance with custom this letter was
forwarded to various officials for COM
ment or expression of opinion, the re-
marks of each officer being appended

ment introduces the subject matter of
the letter in a brief, and one of them
thus tersely explained the contents:

Felony to Steal Tools.

An important measure to all laboring
men who work with tools, has been in
troduced by Senator Irby. 1t makes the
stealing of working tools grand lar
ceny, although almost every tool comes
under the petit larceny valuation. The
reason for this bill is that when a
working man has his tools stolen he
loses several days in trying to locate
them again.
