Denver Republican.

Denver Republican.
In order to make newspapers OF
tie state public utilities and place
.nem under the control of the state
public utilities commission provided
for in the Burris-Van Tilborg utilities
measure, which has been passed by
the general assembly, the Citizens
Protective league, organized for the
Improvement of newspaper, is circu-
latng petitions for the submission of
a proposed constitutional amendment.
The measure would make newspa-
pers in all regards subject to the state
commission. Petitions for its sub
mission at the next election are being
circulated by over 400 workers
throughout the state, in addition to
1sO Denver who have been at work
since last Saturday noon. Their cir
culation is being hastened because the
league desires that the proposed
amendment shall be the first filed with
the secretary of state in order that
it shall be entitled to the head place
on the ballot in the list of measures
submitted to the people and also in
order that the measure may be certain
of submission. Only six proposed con-
stitutional amendments can be put be-
fore the people at any one election
and the league wants its measure filed
E,.Ct that Nolr
among the first six that may be pro-
posed for submission.
The league must secure 81 ,291 sig
natures to it's petitions but it expects
to have the entire number obtained
by noon today. 1t is paying its work
ers cents name for every sigma
ture secured.

J. E. Maxwell, an oil expert. visited
our oil fields last week at the in.
stance of some Denver capitalists. He
covered the oil territory from Farm
ington to Shiprock. In conversation
with men who met him he is reported
to have said we did not have an oil
well, but we have an oil field. 1t was
his opinion if oil had been struck in
the Little Standard well that it was
out Of place and had been forced up
through seam or crack in the Mesa
Verde coal formation which overlies
the Mancos oil shale at the point
where the well is located. He ex-
poets to be back in May or June,
when he will probably come prepared
to do business.-Farmington Times

ROME, April 12.-Late this after
noon the pope suffered another re-
lapse and the doctors attending him
were hastily summoned. They an
nounced the pontiff suffering from
severe bronchitis with a recurrence
of influenza.
1t is believed his condition is due
to overexertion resulting from the
pope's insistance on seeing bishops
last night.
1t is feared the results of coughing
spells may be fatal because of the
pope's advanced age, his heart weak
ness and the condition of his nervous
system.
DIR. Marchiafava's official bulle-
tin said the pope had considerable
fever but that his condition was no.
serious. He declared that unless the
pontiff obeyed his orders absolutely
he would not be responsible any
longer.

The situation of affairs with the
Little Standard Oil company, owner OF
the oil we'll in the Meadows, is un.
fortunate for San Juan county in tina,
1t tends to prevent the sinking of any

learned, the owners of q majority of

refuse to issue additional stock in
order to case the well and sink deeper
unless a majority of such issue is
given them gratis. They refuse to
surrender control, and have no
money which which to place the well
in shape for proper exploitation.
