WASTING TIME OVER
SALARY PROBLEM
Legislators Very Much Exercised Over Pay
for the FarciCal Extra Session
Called by Honest john

DENVER, Aug. 31.-For more than
have been tied In knot over the sim.
pie problem of preparing an appropri.
alton bill for the expenses of the extra
session of the legislature Although
plenty of money is available In sev.
eral funds OF the state, not one dol
lar has been paid out in salaries or
other expense and 1t is now too late
to make an appropriation unless Re.
publican senators come to the res.
cue, and give enough votes to pass
the emergency clause. Even though
the bill now under consideration
should be passed with an emergency
clause, it is doubted whether State
Auditor Roady Kenehan would sign
the warrants.
The house expects before night to
dispose of the Hicks primary and reg
istration bills on second reading. The
Henahen headless ballot bill will be
put on second reading A fight is ex.

the house members are assured 1t Will
be killed in the senate. but will be
given favorable vote. If these three
bills are disposed of this afternoon as
many think they will be. the house
Will have only the bank guaranty and
public utility measures to thrash out.
Representative Skinner, speaking
yesterday against adjournment sine
die at midnight. Sept 6, said there
is no doubt the house can finish its
work in six days with ease II obstruc.
ton tactics are not pursued. He fear
ed adjournment on certain date be
cause he believed some of those op
posed to adjournment, might take the
floor and hold 1t until 1t will be too
late for anything to be done.
Up to today twenty-five bills have
been introduced in the house and sen.
ate on the seven platform pledges.
Not one bill has been presented to
the governor for his signature.

BLACK ALkALI,

Bulletins 155 and 100 by DR.. w. P.
Headden of the Colorado experiment
station deal with a very serious soil
trouble. that is more or less prevalent
in aid regions. Very many farmers
living In these regions know OF bare
spots in their fields or the fields of
their refghbors upon which little or
no vegetation Of any kind will grow.
IL has been common to consider these
areas as places where the alkali comes
to the surface and kills the plants
or places where for some reason the
erohnd fas seeped more than in other
other parts of the field Careful ex-
aminations, however. do not show
these conditions to be present. DR..
Headden has discovered that the real
trouble Is due to tho excessive accu-
mutation of nitrates in the form OF
saltpeter in the soil. The trouble
seems to be increasingly rapidly In
some cultivated sections so that some
farms have been very largely ruined
The bulletins also call attention to
the fact that the common white alkali
Is seldom. IL ever. abundant enough
in the soil to do serious injury to
plants. Its presence on the surface

tity OF water in the soil beneath, which
