Denver.--With the appointment of
the majority of House committees in
the present Legislature, by Speaker
Boon Best, the lower branch of the
Assembly will get down to business.
The only committee which has so far
been active is the elections committee,
at work on the contest of the six Dem
ocrats who are trying to unseat six
Republican representatives from Den
ver
In announcing the forty committees
of the House, Speaker Boon Best
swept aside at least two time-honored
customs. He not only set pre-
cedent in giving the Republicans more
than one-third representation on
many of the committees, but allotted
the craftsmanship of the corporations
committee to a Republican, ]. M.
Downing of Pitkin county.
Mr.. Downing is blind. Despite this
handicap, he has impressed the speak
er of the sHouse as being able to as
sumo the responsibility connected
with the deliberations of this import
ant committee.
