As the Enterprise predicted
last fall. the Hon. Chas. E.
Friend. Jefferson County,
sentative. is right on the job in
securing legislation that will be
! of especial benefit to his constit.
uents and we soc no reason why
it will not be q benefit to the
people of Colorado in general.
His bill to provide for the pay
ment of the expenses Of the In.
dustrial School at Golden was the
first bill introduced in the House.
House bills No. II. IL, Is. II, q
and % were also introduced by
Friend and relate to protection Of
farmers from pheasants; to re-
peal an act entitled act relating
to bridges over public highways.
streets and alleyA." approved
April %. 1913. and for re.enact-
ing section No. 5829 of the revis.
ed statutes of 1909. These two
bills were Senator Staley's pet
measures when he was represen.
tative and he secured favorable
action by the Legislature only to
have them vetoed by Governor
Carlson. Mr. Friends bill con.
corning burglary and larceny Of
fowls would make it . charge Of
burglary if the deed be commit
ted at night or larcsnyif done in
the day time. This bill 10 In
keeping with the suggestion
made by the Enterprise that
there should be some protection
guaranteed to the taxpayer
against the thieving Of chickens
that has been going on the past
few years with no apparent
means of stopping it.
Another good bill Mr.. Friend
has introduced, va hslsipa, is< Z
bill to authorize distEiees1ooeoavu
ip districts of the third ciaas r.
appoint special oaieers ssd hxina
their compensation and dutios.
Many of the violations Of law
have been going on under the

would result in much moro ex.

These measures. in our opin.
ion. will meet with approval in
