School Fraternitles Heard.

Lengthy arguments for and against
the bill abolishing fraternal societies
among the pupils of the high schools
were made before the joint educational
committee of the Legislature Wednes-
day night. The capacity of the Senate
chamber was taxed with crowd which
remained until midnight.
Frequent outbursts of applause and
cheering from the 300 or more boys
and girls from the high schools, who
crowded the galleries. indicated the in
terest that is being taken in the fight
over the pending legislation.
Much bitterness was manifest when
the ant!-fraternity bill was taken up for
public discussion. The opponents of
the bill were led by Judge James ].
Banks, while Prof. William II. Smiley,
principal of the East Denver high
school, led the forces which are fight
ing for the passage of the measure.
Professor Smiley started the discus
sion by reading clippings from news
pepers in all parts of the United States
showing that the fraternities are being
abolished. He then read dozen or
more letters without revealing the
Identity of the writer's, in which fra
ternities were attacked on the grounds
that they tend to draw social lines
among the pupils. that they have an
unwholesome effect on the students,
and that their abolition is necessary
from an educational standpoint.
Judge Banks then called on some of
the members of the fraternities, ard
Wells and Christian of the manual
training school defended the societies.
Wells delivered an impassioned ad-
dress in defense of the fraternities and
seemed to make a good impression. In
support of his contentious he produced
a petition signed by the parents of $50
frat" members

There are three important irrigation
bills before the Legislature, introduced
by Senator Carringer and Represents
tives Clark and Weiser, Senator Car
penter OF the agriculture and irriga'
ton committee called meeting OF
those interested in irrigation. at which
meeting counsel for the various irriga-
ton districts agreed to submit their
written opinions TO the committee on
the legal phase OF the bills and the
relative merits. These opinions Will
aid the committee greatly in consider
ing which bill TO advocate The three
bills under consideration of the COM
mittee greatly concern farmers and the
state as well.
1t il proposed to allow the entrance
of state lands into irrigation districts
in two of the bills and in the third TO
allow owners of desert and homestead
government lands to come in under the
benefit of irrigation districts, while
paying for their lands. The irrigation
districts favor the bills because it
would give a more compact acreage to
the districts.
The Carringer bill relates to the en-
trance of state lands into irrigation
districts. Ii is backed by the Land
board, which in one county has 10000
acres of land entered The value of
the land to the state is increased be-
cause the lands come under the bene-
fits of the districts water system.
The bill allows the district to tax the
land just as it would tax any other
land held by member of the district.

district. The Clark bill permits the
state to come in under the district, al
though not becoming member upon
the same footing as other members of
