Editors will Boost Their Bill.

Denver.-The executive and cam
paign committees of the Colorado
State Editorial Association have out
lined vigorous campaign for the pur'
pose of securing the adoption of the
proposed law to reduce the cost oi
printing constitutional amendments
and initiated and referred bills. This
proposed law will appear on the ballot
in position seven in the list of billi
submitted for adoption or rejection
1t reduces the number of publications
from, in one newspaper for four con
secutive weeks in each county. to one
publication in two papers of opposite
political faith in each county.
The campaign committee intends tc
secure the cooperation Of country
publishers in campaign of education
among the readers of the various pa
pers In the state, through advertise
ments and news stories in their pa
pers and through personal work be
fore election day
When the direct legislation prin
ciple was before tie people for adop
ton or rejection two years ago the ex
treme cost of publishing the proposed
measures was one of the principal ar
guments against the enactment oi
that principle into law. Under the
old plan wherein only constitutions
amendments submitted by the Legisla
ture were advertised the cost was com
paratively slight. Under the new plan
where all submitted measures must be
advertised the cost was considerably
increased, but the editors, realizing
that this increase would act as detri
ment to the submission of proposed
bills, have initiated proposed amend
ment which they claim reduces the
cost to figure that cannot be reduced
through any other method of advertis
ing

from her were the summons to the
chief Of police to come, as she was
about to be killed.
Soon after the couple reached their
home neighbors saw Mrs. Brock run
out of the front door screaming. A
shot followed, and she staggered
toward the end of the porch. when
another shot rang out. Then she fell
over the edge Of the porch. Her hus-
band stood over her and fired another
shot into the right side Of her head.
The top of her skull was literally torn
