Saturday was pay day in the house
Auditor Ben Ctterbach had the mem
bcrs sign the payroll Friday and
waited until the next day to deliver
the warrants The appropriation bills
for salaries and expenses We're passed
finally 10y both houses and signed by
the governor Friday Each member
received pay for the first ten days
OF the session AT the rate of So per
day and mileage at the rate of 10
cents a mile each way.
No Journals were distributed in the
house Friday. Representative Head
ley Republican member of the print
ing committee, investigated and
found the printers did not get the
copy until o'clock y. IN. Friday In
previous sessions the copy has gone
to the printers the night before.
There is much dissatisfaction be-
cause of the many typographical
errors in the printed bills calendars
and journals. Much of the blame Is
placed on employees and some ON the
printers Speaker Nesbitt believes
the situation will adjust itself as soon
as the green hands get thoroly nc
customed to their work. Many Of the
members are up i'm arms over the
situation and say they will not tolor-
ate II much longer.
Work on important amendments to
the state highway law will be begun
Monday morning at 1890 o'clock
when the house committee on roads
and highways will hold its first real
business session. Several bills along
this line have been introduced and
the upshot Of the matter probably
will be the reporting out of a com
mittee bill embracing all or part Of
the proposed changes. II is almost
a cinch that the method and basis Of
taxing automobiles will be changed
by this legislature, but whether in u
radical measure or not remains TO be
soon.

Funeral Directors convention held in

Miss Maud B. mfty became the wife
Of w. Fl. Farnum in Salida in the

GETTING A LINE ON RAILROADS

Denver, June 3O.-In connection with
its plans for the assistance Of farmers
and shippers generally during the war
emergency, the state public utilities
commission has addressed letter to the
traffic heads of all railroads operating
in Colorado requesting the railroads to
file with it statements showing provi-
sions which they have made for the
handling of traffic, particularly the crop
movement, this summer and fall.
Reports received by the public utili-
ties commission indicate record crops
in many sections Of the state, and as n
consequence the commission 10 exerting
every effort to see that an adequate
supply Of cars will be available for the
crop movement. Inasmuch q the rail
roads have had . sufficient time to COM
plete their preparations, the commission
now is calling upon them to lay before
it specific information which should
show how well each carrier il prepared
to meet the unusual demands upon
transportation facilities resulting from
both the war situation and increased
crops. The information thus received
will enable the commission Immediately
to give its attention to the weak spots
in the traffic situation, to the end tnat

mated that about 5,455 carloads of po

problems may be reduced to minimum.
The statements to be filed by the rail-
roads should apply not only to general
plans for the crop movement, but also
show just what the roads are doing IN
the way of moving coal and other toa-
mage which can be handled now as a
means toward releasing locomotives ana
cars for use when crops begin to move
later in the summer and fall. The com
mission is particularly anxious to OBJ
tain definite information as to the re.
frigerator car supply available for Colo
RADIO this year in order that every eff
fort may be made to properly handle
fruit and other perishable products.
