CASTELLOW PUT ON SALARY
And GURR PLACED ON FEES
Two Bills of Local Interest, Dealing
With Compensation of Court Of
hcials, Passed by Legislature.


During the closing hours of the
legislature the senate took up and
passed the bill of Representative
Pickett, of Terrell county, placing
the solicitor general of the Pataula
circuit on a salary of $4,000 a year
instead of compensation from fees,
as heretofore. The new law will ma
terially lessen the income from that
office.
The bill which was introduced by
Representative Pickett at the request
of the county commissioners putting
the solicitor of the city court of Daw-
son on a fee basis instead of the ex-
listing salary of 500 a month was
also passed. Under the new law the
solicitor can receive fees up to 500
a month, but all in excess of that
sum must be paid into the county
treasury. If the fees do not amount
to 500 the solicitor must accept
whatever they may be as full COM
pensation.

DRAFT BILL PLANNED
FOR HOME GUARD ORGANIZATION
FOR COLORADO.
Session In July VIII Affect Men
Over Thirty-one Years Of Age.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-A selective draft bill to
form a substantial home guard during
the period of the war is contemplated
as one of the war measures to be en-
acted during the special session of the
Legislature which will meet in July.
Men more than 81 years old only
will be subject to the draft for this
purpose, SO 1t will interfere in no way
with the draft for the national armies.
Although definite announcement
has not been made as to who will
sponsor the bill, legislative leaders say
that such a bill is seriously consid-
cred as one of the most important of
the special sessions order of business.
The Assembly. it is stated, will con-
slider only war measures and will hold
short session. Few clerks will be
named, as there will be limited num-
Der of bills. Leaders declare that
they are determined to hold the ex-
penses of the Legislature itself to a
minimum.
COrrelative with the draft bill 1t is
stated will be a tax bill to impose
half-mill levy in the state to support
the home guard and to provide for
other defense measures.
Acceleration of crop movements and
adequate handling of the crop harvest
ing will be other subjects considered
by the Legislature. 1t is understood
that the officers and committees of
both branches of the Legislature will
hold over from last winters session
in the interest of quicker action on
needed bills

chosen chairman OF the committee on
resolutions. This committee intro
duced successful resolution that con-
gress was to be petitioned to give all
of the financial support necessary to
complete the. road in time for use dur
ing the war.
Governor J. c. Gunter in an address
pleaded with the delegates to let moth
ing hinder them in their work, and
gave them assurance that Colorado
would stand back of the project with
all of her resources.
The highway is to be known as the
Rocky Mountain National Military
highway.
