IS EMERGENCY CLAUSE IN
HIGHWAY COMMISSION BILL
OPERATIVE? is QUERY

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Nov. 2l-Do bills referred
by the people take the same course
as measures enacted by the legisla-
turc?
DO bills carrying an emergency
clause referred by the people become
operative at once?
These are some of the many ques-
tions that are puzzling some lawyers
in Denver who believe that to settle
them it will require an opinion from
the attorney general.
1t is contended by some that re-
ferred bills do not take the emergen-
Cy clause, and, if passed by the peo-
pie, become law when the governor
issues his proclamation declaring the
measures passed by the people.
There is a different situation with
bills enacted by THE legislature. The
measures passed Without the emer-
sency clause become operative only
after the expiration of 80 days fol-
lowing the adjournment of the legis-
/ lature. Bills passed having the
emergency clause become laws i'm
mediately after they are signed by
the governor.
Only one of the 80 measures sub
mitted to Il vote of the people on No
and that one was the highway com
mission bill. BE cause of its i'm
portance. those who drafted it at
tached the clause so that the money
to be secured under its provisions
would become available Immediately
on its passage.
So much Importance attaches to
/ this matter that it will at once be
appealed to Attorney General Grif-
! fifth for his ruling. His decision will
I be awaited with not little interest.

Denver, Nov. 2l.-The police are
having hard time determining
whether Myrou Root, the tObacConist,
who was shot in his home last Fri
day night, did the shooting himself.
or whether the shooting was done by
a would-be burglar. Root declares
that someone unknown to him did
the shooting, but Chief of Police
ONeil suggests that it is probably a
case of attempted suicide. During
the past several years Root has gone
through five similar narrow escapes
The fact that there are no powder
marks to show that the man made an
