Denver.-War measures for Colo

enacted by and for the citizens Of the
commonwealth, as we'll as for those
who have no direct claim upon citi-
zenship, are in the making. With the
arrival in Denver of Boon Best, speak
er, and a number of other legislators,
the program to be pursued at the ex-
traordinary session of the Twenty
first General Assembly took on tan
gible form.
Revenue raising measures, to In
clude 100000 bond issue, mill
levy for the maintenance of mount
ed police guard and corporation
license tax to increase the present re-
turns; legislation authorizing the
nearly 800 state banks to become
members of the federal reserve bank;
more stringent antitrust laws to curb
the speculator and the hoarder Of
foods; defraying of the expenses Of
the mobilization of the national
guardsmen until they are called into
the federal service-these are a few
of the measures that were discussed
among the senators and representa-
tives.
Whether politics will be injected
into the proceedings is problematical.
Deadlocks in the Senate are not an
ticipated, although the absence of Sen
ator Charles B. Hamilton of Denver,
now a resident of Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
leaves an equal number from either
party in the upper branch.
Senator E. V. Dunklee Of Denver
has assumed the chairmanship OF the
military committee of the upper
branch, in the absence of Senator
Hamilton.
Much of the burden of the special
session will rest with the military, ju-
dietary and finance committees of the
two branches.
