The Henrylyn irrigation project

Of their legal battle with the gov
ernment. The demurrer to the gov

The decision means delay Of
months, possibly years, before the

FREIGHT on COAL

Denver is no worse than Grcesey
In that respect. The Un&oa Pacific

WILL GET
ADVICE OF
AN EXPERT
THE LEGISLATURE WILL HAVE
SOURCE OF GENERAL IN.
FORMATION ON LAW MAKING
PROFESSOR WILL GET JOB

A new departure in the legislat-
i've affairs of the state. In the opin-
lon of authorities on the subject.
will be marked at the next session
OF the legislature. when the state
appoints a legislative expert, whose
duty 1t will he to give Information
ON legislation Of other states and to
revise or to write proposed mea-
sures in the proper form. Governor
Shafroth and Governor-elect Am
mons have decided to accept the
services Of Instructor ,Boethke of
the department of economics at tho
State university for this purpose.
Boethke is q graduate of the Uni
versity of Minnesota with an NJ. A.
and is regarded as an authority on
legislation. His services will be
gratuitous to the state.
1t will be his duty to give to the
various legislative committees or to
any member of the legislature any
arormation desired concerning the
legislation other states have enacted
on any particular subject. He will
also advise A. to the correct method
of wording bills. and will write them
II asked to do SO.
Governor Shafroth said last night
that in this way he hoped ambigu-
GUS and confusing legislation, which
has marred the statute books OF the
state in the past. will be avoided.
and that unintentional jokers will
also be eliminated.
He said that sometimes the legis-
lature passes laws which do not ex-
press exactly the will of that body.
and that the reason for this is that
the laws are not correctly worded.
With the Information at hand as
to exactly what legislation has been
passed in other states on any par
ticular subject, 1t is expected that
the Colorado assembly will be great
ly aided in legislating on the same
subject.
Many other states. said the gov
ernor, have used legislative experts
such as Boethke with great success.
Roethke will have access to the
state library and to the library of
the supreme court, In order to con-
duct his work.

RE-DISTRICT
COLORADO ON
C0nCRESSmEN
lslAn to Have Four Districts Since
There arc Now Two Congress-
men at Large

A plan for redistricting Colorado
to create four congressional districts
instead Of two as at present. is be-
ing discussed for submission to the
Nineteenth general assembly, which
convenes In January. Under the
terms Of the reappointment bill
passed by the last national congress
the scheme II said to be wholly feas-
ibIe.
Eastern Colorado would like to
have . congressman. Southern Col
orado. including the Arkansas val
ley. 10 clamoring for one and the
Western slope claims It is entitled
to representation. Denver Is advo-
Gated for . congressional district All
her own.
Making divisions for the four
districts probably will prove difficult
for the legislators.
The lines around the thickiy
populated districts. such as Denver.
are not expected to give much trou-
BILE. but 1t will be difficult to map
out the boundaries OF the less
sparsely settled sections to the sat
isfaction OF their residents.
The question OF n redistricting
law is already receiving much at
tention In the state. and will doubt
less be urged for immediate con-
sideration as soon as the assembly
meets.
