Columbus officers dropped into
Baxter again Wednesday evening
and again found Cedar Red deal
ing out some kind of booze, "
and took him in charge and pad
locked his place of business.
When the place was raided last
Saturday Cedar was taken to Col.
umbus, but Immediately gave
bond and returned and resumed
the nefarious traffic, and this was
the cause of the second visit OF
the officers. 1t is not believed the
place will be allowed to run here,
and it is a we'll known fact that
as long as Cedar is at liberty he
is going to deal in something OF
that kind, and we are willing to
bet that if he is locked up, he
will sell his ce1l-mates booze.
Verify, the way of the tranSgres-
Sor is not smooth.

Bill to Curb spendthrIfts.

Senator De Long has introduced a
bill to prevent married men from dissi-
pating their fortunes. Senator De
Longs idea is to allow the state to APP
point conservator of mans estate if
he begins to spend his money foolishly,
just as the county does in the case of
an insane man. For fool is an insane
man, in Senator De Longs notion.
Those who inherit few thousand dol
lars and become overbalanced with a
desire to spend 1t. or these who start
to get away VIII small fortunes are
the ones at whom the bill is aimed
1t is intended to protect the state from
the expense of supporting the wives
and children of men who are afflicted
with high finance fever.

WHAT COLORADO LAWMAKERS
"''"' '''''"'' ARE :'IDiI DOING At DENVER
To Test Forestry Rights.

The bill prepared by Attorney John
T. Barnett authorizing him to test the
legality of the forestry service rules.
and the socalled encroachment Of the
federal government upon states rights
in this respect. is sweeping in its char
acter. Not only does it permit al in
vestigation and test OF the forestry
service rules and laws, but also of the
federal agricultural and interior de-
partments.
Perhaps the most drastic feature OF
1t is that 1t authorizes the attorney
general to commence and prosecute
government officials under the civil
and criminal statutes, wherever 1t is
found that they have encroached upon
state rights or usurped them. 1t also
authorizes him to intervene on behalf
of the state of Colorado in any case
brought by an individual or association
against the government, or in any case
brought by the government against in
dividuals or associations. For the pur-
pose Of prosecution 100000 is appro-
priated by the bill to allow him to carry
on the work. The attorney general
did not believe that he possessed the
power to prosecute under the present
statutes, so In order to carry out the
recommendations in Governor Shat
roths inaugural address, he drew the
special bill.
