No guardianship for Veterans.

In the Senate Senator Campbell's
bill, repeating Colorado statutes which
require that all old soldiers and sailors
entering the Soldiers and Sailors
Home shall turn over their pensions to
the commandant, was pas 5ed to third
reading. The United States laws re-
Quire that pensioners of the govern
ment shall not turn their money over
to anyone, but shall keep 1t themselves.
Senator Bohn, an old soldier said it
was an outrage TO make the command
ant guardian of the old soldiers, be-
sides being violation of the coustitu-
ton. The custom arose because It
was feared that the old soldiers would
go into town pension day and get
drunk" said Senator Bohn. We'll, IL
they want to get drunk, let them. They
have right to do so. They fought for
the country and have a right TO any
pleasure they may get out of their pen
sions. 1t is nobody's business" 1t was
stated that as much as $4,000 passes
through the commandant's hands from
this source alone every year

Attacks Work of Land Board,

Alleging gross mismanagement OF
the various state land boards in the
administration of public lands during
the last twenty years, Speaker Lubers
created furore at the Tuesday night
session of the House The speaker
took the floor in committee of the
whole on Representative Clark's bill
to admit school lands to irrigation dis.
tricts, not for the purpose of opposing
or supporting the measure, but to air
his personal views on the work of the
land office.
Without going into specific circum-
stances he characterized the admins
tration of the office during the last
twenty years as blot on the history
of the state. 1t speculated and did not
put the lands to the best uses, he as
serted, and the state had suffered
greatly in consequence of the dog-in-
the-manger policy. Under proper ad-
ministration he declared the land office
could be of great assistance in the de
velopment of the state.

There are three important irrigation
bills before the Legislature, introduced
by Senator Carringer and Representa-

penter of the agriculture and irriga-
tion committee called a meeting of
those interested in irrigation, at which
meeting counsel for the various irriga-
tion districts agreed to submit their

1t Is 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 more compact acreage to
the districts.
The Carringer bill relates to the en-
trance of state lands into irrigation
districts. 1t 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 1t would tax any other
land held by member of the district,
thereby adding to the revenue of the
district. The Clark bill permits the
state to come in under the district, al.
though not becoming a member upon
the same footing as other members Of
the district.
