Scott Bill Amended.

The Senate in committee Of the
whole Wednesday agreed to 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 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-
lions 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
omen.

New County Supporters.

Supporters of the new counties
asked from the present Legislature had
an inning Tuesday night before the
House committee on counties and coun-
ty lines. Bryan county was the first
under discussion, the presentation of
the claims of its we'll wishers being
made by Messrs. Kenworthy and Bur
ton. They declared that the people in
the part of Ebert, Adams and Arapa-
hoe counties to be set into the new
county wish it because of the long dis
tances from remote sections to the
county seats of the present counties

payers had TO go 112 miles to pay their
taxes or transact any other business at
the county capital.
When the Bryan county presenta ton
was over, the committee took up North
Park. Frank j. Annis and j. N. Shipp
spoke for the proposed division, and
Wilton MARI and c. Baldwin against
it. Each presented figures. one to
show that the county would be pros
porous community. and the other that
it would have too small a revenue for
its purposes. William Mosman also
addressed the committee, urging the
county.
The needs of that part of Huerfano
and Costilla counties that are sought
to be made into La Veta county were
presented by Judge Tiffany. He went
into great detail, in an effort to show
that the new county would have more
than enough revenue for its SuDDOrt
After hearing of this county the com
mittee adjourned without taking any
action.

Boone Would Be No Boon.

Before the House committee on
counties and county lines Walt Whit
man took hit at the new county Of
Boone, proposed to be erected out of
Ell Paso and Douglas. He said he lived
In the territory affected and he knew
of only two people there who favored
it-one who hoped to start saloon
and ona who expected to drink in that
saloon. Cole Briscoc of Douglas coun-
ty also took occasion to rap tune
OF two against Boone county. The ques-
tion was not up at the time and those
favorins the new county will have a
bearing.

House Proceedings Monday.

Following are the House proceed.
ings of Monday, the 18th inst, as re-
ported in the Denver Republican:
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.. Garnan
moved to include In its provisions
what is known as 1.-The recall" that
the people may vote out of office by
petition those they have already voted
in, II dissatisfied with any of their
acts.
Mr.. Greenman was sorry to see the
amendment proposed, for he could see
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. yThen.'
he said, I'VE might have no Legisla-
tire at all.
Mr.. Skinner feared that the injec-
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 immed;-
ate needs of the Soldiers and Sailors
Home and the State Capitol were 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 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 were 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 to
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 TO
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.

Opposition to New County.

At hearing before the House com
mittee on counties and county lines
Monday hearing was given to permit
the people of Ell Paso and Ebert coun-
ties who have been holding numerous
meetings within the proposed new
county of Holt and at Colorado
Springs, to protest against the forma-
ton of Holt county. l.. w. Cunning
ham, C. l.. Dickinson. R. l.. Chambers
and o. E. Collins led in the presenta-
ton of arguments against the cutting
up of Ell Paso and. Ebert in order to
form the new county.
They protested that the majority Of
the people in the district affected did
not want 1t and adverted severely upon
the position maintained by Representa-
tive Cannon, who introduced the bill.
Messrs. Jones and Richards, who
would live in Holt county, if formed
urged that it be erected, giving glow
ing accounts of the prosperity that
would follow its being formed.

Employe. Bill in Doubt.

In committee OF the whole of that
body, House Bill No. 1882, by Garman,
to fix the compensation Of certain leg
islative employees and appropriating
$2,940 for their payment, was opposed
by several senators because it made
a permanent increase in the number Of
employees, and Senator Burger raised
the point against it that there was no
record of the amendments inserted in
the bill by the house. BY vote Of
fifteen to twelve the committee refused
to pass the bill on second reading, but
by vote Of sixteen to thirteen it was
ordered that the bill retain its place on
the calendar.
