"yOB HUNTERS DELIGHT"
The Eighteenth General Assembly
Has Well Earned Its Name

The Eighteenth general assembly
might well be termed "The Job
Hunters Delight" for the reason
that It created more places for
political Job hunters than any as
sembly Colorado ever knew. 1t has
often been stated that 1t would be
months before the people of Colo
rado know what was rushed
through during the four days that
marked the closing of the assembly.
A slight peruaal Of come Of the
bills yet to be signed by Governor
Shafroth shows that for the most
part those four days we're given
over to the preparing of special
sslAry berths for Democratic ped-
ti6lAns.
The bills that were enacted will
provide places for At least 500

tor will be allowed to have more
than forty mines under his control
at any time. and whenever the mum.
Der exceeds forty another inspec-
tor shall be appointed.
The Moffat tunnel bill creates a
commission of five. two of whom
are not state officers; one must be
IA civil engineer at $1,000 and the
other must be secretary at $2.600
per year.
The bill which Treasurer Kene-
han says he will not honor. creates
committee of six to have charge
or spending the $4,000 appropriat-
ed to defend Colorado water rights.
The assembly could not make this
provision for this defense with
out giving someone job. hence
they gave siA jogs In a committee.
The forestry bill creates the de-
partment of forestry and provides
tor the appointment of forester
and such assistants as he deems
necessary. He also has the right
10 secure the county sheriff to help
him In the work.
Then there Is q bill which gives
unto the state veterinarian and
state board OF stock inspection COM
missioners the right to appoint
whatever number OF deputy vetsrin-
arians they think y necessary At
500 per month each TO help keep
down mango. scabbies and other
contagious diseases among stock.
The above are Just . few Of the
Jobs created by the Eighteenth. II
will be noticed that the power Of
the boards and commissions In al
most every instance b unnmited
when It comes to the appointment
of help. OF course. the most pow
erful Will be the tax commission
and the fire warden laws. While

most important places that were
prepared are those on the court of
review. This bill provides for five
Judges. five stenographers. one chief
clerk. one deputy and two bailiffs.
a total of fourteen. Their salaries
range from 1920 to $4,000 per
year.
The next berth that was made
up by the Colorado legislative Pull
man porter can be called the Col
orado tax commission. This is a
commission of three Democrats to
be appointed by the governor and
the state treasurer and they draw
$500 each per year. They have
the right to appoint a secretary. ex-
aminers. experts. clerks. account
ants, stenographers and all other
assistants necessary. Their ap-
pointing powers are unlimited.
This commission is given the au-
thority to do all the work of the
state board of equalization and is
given the power to review and to
change all of the valuations of
property made BY county assessors.

Provisional President Madero was
considering today the movement of a
large part of his forces southwark to
meet Colonel Rabago. who was report
ed today to be moving northward on
Juarez With about 1000 federal troops,
but as communication along the rail-
road line, which is to convey the
troops, is now open. orders can be
given at any minute for a cessation of
hostilities.
Provisional President Madero talk
ed for a long time with his military
adviser, General Villjoen, the Boer,
who has joined his staff, concerning
a plan for mobilizing his troops In
Chihuahua. but the rebel chief ad-
mitted that he had in mind also the
possibility of peace plans being ar
ranged soon.
In the event of peace being declared
the efforts of the provisionti govern
ment TO rehabilitate the state govern
ments in Chihuahua and Sonora will
not be in vain, as these are two of the
fourteen states which the rebels will
be allowed to name governors, and II

Alfredo Robles Dominguez. one OF
the leaders of the conspiracy which
started the present revolution in Mex

connection with it was discovered last
November, arrived here today and
conferred with Madero. He told Ma
dero that after his release from jail
last week he talked with Minister Ii
mantour for some time about the pros
poets for peace. He also informed
the rebel chief that when he left the
vicinity of Mexico City Figueroa had
modified a large body of troops with
which to attack the capital. He told
of efforts which We're alleged to have
been made by the federal government
to arrange peace terms with Ffgueroa
and his supporters and the reputation
of the scheme by Ffgueroa and MS
support of Madero. Dominguez de-
clared that when Figueroa heard OF
the severing of the armistice here and
the attack on Juarez he broke the ar
mistice which he had arranged with
the government.

DIVISION Of PUBLIC
DOMAIN IN
MEXICO
IRRIGIBLE LAND TO BE
SOLD IN SMALL TRACTS
Provision Made for ConStruc-
ton Of irrigation Works SINH
lar to That Now Used By u,
S. Reclamation Service,


Mexico City, May l4.-Another of
the reforms proposed in the presi-
ent's message to congress on April !
was given definite form by the intro
duction in the chamber of deputies
yesterday of bin providing for di-
vision of the public domain and of
private estates and the distribution of
the land in small tracts among the
people.
The text of the measure was made
public today.
The bill was drawn in the depart
ment of fomento and was referred to
a committee of that department and
of the financial branch of the govern
ment.
In general terms the bill authorizes
the executive to undertake, to acquire,
divide and sell. through the depart
ment of fomento, such national lands
as possess the requisite conditions for
distribution in small parcels. being
either 'ariable, pastoral or capable of
being brought under irrigation and
situated near some route of communi-
cation"
II ls ploNiutu also tIldt III III
places where II Is desirable to divide
up lands there are no national lands
suitable for the purpose, the execu-
tive may acquire lands belonging to
private individuals, provided there are
facilities for irrigation and the own
ers do not care to sub-divide such es-
tates themselves"
To assure the productiveness of the
tracts so acquired suitable measures
will be taken in the way of constructs
| ing irrigation, sanitation and drainage
work, and the transportation lines
conducive to cultivation and win es-
| tablish agencies and offices for the
sale of the tracts.
Water rights contemplated under
| the irrigation provision will be avail
able only to private persons or to
companies or persons who, possessing
large estates, are willing to sub divide
them.
With reference to such persons oil
companies, a price Is to be agreed up
on to be paid as compensation for tke
cost OF the works and the expenses
| of their maintenance and it Is pro-
vided that when the outlay by the
government has been returned to the
treasury through such payments the
land owners are to become the own
ers of the irrigation works. A pro-
vision for bounties to promote the cul-
| tivation and improvement of lands is
| included.
TO cover the outlays contemplated
by the proposed law the department OF
fomento may use an appropriation OF
25,O00.000 pesos ($12, 2,500,00C) voted
| by the chamber of deputies in 1908,
provided that during the fiscal year of
l91l-l2 not more than three million
pesos may be used.

HOPE HELD OUT FOR
EARLY PEACE AGREEMENT

Juarez. Nav 14.--Peace negotia-
tlons. unofficial but auspicious, have
been resumed between the federal gov
ernment and the insurrectos, and the
prospects tonight We're that a definite
understanding would be reached with
in twenty-four hours.
Rafael Hernandez, who was the or
iginal go-between when efforts were
first made to bring the warning rae
tions together a few months ago, mas
stepped to the front and transmitted
certain propositions which are looked
upon favorably by both sides. Mess
ages were passing back and forth to-
day, but ii was not expected that a
plan of procedure to consummate the
understanding that may be reached
unofficially would be determined up
on before tomorrow.
The propositions are somewhat dii-
ferent from those hitherto considered,
though similar in intent. Inc ques-
tion of the resignation of President
Daz vaguely handled in the Dlaz
manifesto, II now Is felt. was ampi-
fled and explained sufficiently by MIN
lister Limantour In an Associated Press
despatch two days ago, and the IN
surrocto leaders are satisfied. What
they really want and have been want

the reforms they desire Will be put
into operation and that they VIII ne

tion OF the republic. To satisfy Doth
these conditions, the propositions now
being considered include an lmmeal-
ate reorganization of the cabinet OF

resignation of that body as occurred
some time ago, and the Introduction

tranquility Is restored; the reVolutioh-
lists have no objection to that. They,
themselves, have nothing personal
they say against the aged executive,
and are Just as willing that he retire
decorously so as to permit OF new
administration and complete change
of politics in the republic, which mas
been their basic contention.
To reinforce the effect OF the change
in the cabinet. q second proposition IS
under consideration, which, however,
will cause little difficulty, as II already
had been tentatively agreed upon In
previous parleys--that is. to allow the
rovolutionists to name the governors
of fourteen of the twenty-seven states.
This will strengthen the all-import-
ant guarantees which the revolution
lists have been clamoring for. The
change in the cabinet, of course, Is
placed above all other propositions by
the rebels. as they consider that re-
organization of that body means a
practical overhauling OF the federal
lgoyernment--wit whom, they de-
lclare. their primary struggle has been.

government of these propositions,

clared to have been the largest Luth-
eran devotional service since the days
