ALPHONSE GETS FIRST PAGE POSITION
ALLfSTRIkERS TO BE SHOT FOR TREASON

Hon. Alphone p. Ardourel, member of
the State Legislature from Boulder
county. now appears in a new role as
chief stoker for the corporations. He
is going TO eliminate strikers and plant
an awful fear in the heart OF every
Colorado workingman by introducing n
,'treason" bill in the Legislature at the
very first opportunity. so he announces
in the daily papers with big headlines.
II goes some hotter than the Cos
sack" bill proposed by Governor Am
mons at the special session last May
Alphonsc was originally elected to the
Legislature n few years ago as a great
friend OF the working man. Perhaps
he was later "interviewedf by lobbyists
for the c. +. 4 l., for he now claims to
hold credentials as the special repre-
sentative of the corporations. He is n
Democrat, but will champion any meas
,ire the corporations underwrite.
He tells the newspaper reporters that
his bill will mark a new epoch in state
legislation and have the merit OF being
the only one OF its kind ever proposed
anywhere on earth. 1t is framed to
meet condition complained OF by Adj,
Gen, John Chase, when he could
find no law permitting him legally to
stand the coal mine strikers up against
wall and shoot them. Alphonse pro
poses to correct this oversight or pre-
vious legislators through his little bill.

The offense of treason i defined in
the state constitution as armed rebel
lion against the recognized authority of
the state or giving aid to its enemies.
When General Chase last spring endcav-
orei to have the leaders of the militant
strikers indicted for treason he Was ad-
vised by the judge advocate general that
although treason was defined, there was
no statute providing a penalty for it.
If the Araourel measure passes the
Legislature and is signed by Carlson.
Colorado will be the first state in the
Union to provide u penalty for treason
against the state.
The definition in the state constitu-
tion is too general says the belligercnt
Ardoural. Il have been in conference
with the attorney general in the matter
of treason, that every striker or every
other man who joins in organized armed
resistance TO the National Guard or duly
constituted authority will know that hs.
is guilty of the crime. Then. having
warned such men, | would provide a
penalty sufficient TO prevent rebellion
in this state.
Il believe there should be only one
penalty. that OF death. Only high courts
or military commissions preferably the
former. should have authority to decide
whether or not prisoner has been
guilty OF treason"
