FAKE RAILROAD BILL
PASSED BY THE HOUSE

Denver Post
The railroad commission measure
the veriest fake of them all-was put
through the house with a few minor
amendments this morning on third
reading. 1t is fake, without an anti.
pass provision and rate-making pow
ers. 1t raises the salaries of the mori-
bund commission 81 900 each year,
also the salary of the secretary from
81 500 to $500 year The senate
will concur in the amendments and
finally pass the bill. The public serv.
ice. anti.pass, guaranty of deposits and
headless ballot bills-all platform leg.
islation-have been put aside. The
corporations did not want them, so
the Democratic machine smothered
them to death
The initiative and referendum the
aborted primary and the vicious reg.
istration measures only have been
made into laws OF these the initia,
tive and referendum and primary have
been signed by the governor and it is
clearly understood that he has made
bargain with the Denver machine
whereby he is TO sign the registra-
ton bill The machine threatened to
knife him in the coming election and
unless he is saved from himself he
will sign the bill which restores the
big Mitt" to power. In fact, with the
exception of the initiative and refer.
endum which is to be attacked in the
courts, the people have gained nothing
by the extra session. The only actual
gamer is the Denver machine; the cor
porations have won only by preventing
legislation.
The railway commission bill, a sort
of warmed-over article of the old law,
was the last to reach the legislative
corral. The house held 1t up for near.
ly two weeks undecided whether to
put it out of its misery or agree to 1t.
Senators who had jammed it
through the senate constituted them.
selves into lobbyists and worked vail
antly to move it through the lower
body. The same parliamentary trick
that was used back in the '9Os TO ere
ate Teller county was resorted to. and
Speaker Lubers sustained the move
without batting an eye.
The platform pledge of the Demo
cratic party called for railroad com
mission law that would place in the
hands OF the commission power to
make rates and enforce them. This
bill does not do it. 1t is fake pure
and simple, leaving the people of the
state as helpless as they have been
under the old law on the subject The
railroads alone are satisfied with it.
II is what they wanted, since they
must have some legislation on the sub.
ject.
