LECTURES THE HOUSE.
Governor Shafroth Calls Attention to
Violation of Promises.

Denver, April N.-In letter to the
house today Governor Shafroth sharp
ly criticised the state banking bill
passed yesterday by the senate as a
measure no more resembling the meas
ure promised the people than night re-
sembles day. The letter created a sem
sation.
The bill came before the house today
on first reading 1t is believed to be
the first time governor of a state has
taken summary action on a measure
that was still before the legislative
body.
when introduced said Governor
Shafroth in his letter, the measure
was intended to comply with the DEM
ocratic platform pledge relating to
bank guarantee laws. 1t no more re-
sembles the measure promised the peo-
pie than night resembles day.
Its author has repudiated the bill
and had his name taken from it. The
bill contains no provision whatever for
a state guaranty fund as promised IN
the Democratic platform.
You have been in session for one
hundred and thirteen days. twenty
three days longer than any session for
the last thirty years. and not a pledge
has been redeemed. Is there any ex-
cuse for such a failure? Are we to
affirm the saying that platforms are
made to get in on, but not to stand on e?
He who thinks that such a betrayal
can be made without censure and con-
demnation little understands the tren0
of events now taking place in all parts
of the United States in behalf of rule of
the people L warn you now that an
avalanche of public snow is coming as
sure as right is right against those who
refuse to redeem their contracts of
honor"
The governor concluded by urging
the house to make the bill conform to
platform pledge -tss
