The Work Done by the
7 wenty-First General Assembly
(By Hon. Geo. {. coIoate)

feeling prevailed at all times between
the minority and majority an6 many
strong friendships were formed that
will last during all time. The house
passed many good sensible bills that
never became laws because the small
coterie Of senators put them to sleep
in their committees and would not
dare report them out for fear they
would become laws. ~
Colorado must get rid OF small
bunch of old tossilized. cunning. pig
headed senators before the people
should expect much from its legisla-
ture.
There were many bills introduced
but few became laws.
The most important measures that
became laws were the Temperance
| bill. the mill levies for state educa-
tional institutions. A good roads law
rhe mill levy law for the Board of
Capitol Managers. Amendments to
the state Industrial law: amendments
TO the Working Mems Compensation
law; amendments to our present di-
vorce law: establishing vocational
training in our Public Schools. The
teachers tenure of office law.
A law to investigate the smelters
of the state. A law making it mis-
demeanor TO defraud a laboring man
out OF his wages by false representa-
tions; law giving our county officers

vertising initiated and referred bills:

bills-but. none of them became laws

The house passed TWO eight-hour day
laws-one for the guards and en-
ployees OF penal institutions--the
other for the men who work in or
about oil wells or refineries-
There is very little criticism that
can be placed upon the house of
representatives.
The majority OF the house made a
great error in fixing time to adjourn
when. in fact, they were not ready
and knew they would not be ready
mt the time. The leaders claimed
that they did it to hurry up the SEN
ate. consequently the senate threw
over on us a lot of senate bills that
we had not time to properly consid-
er.
Nevertheless. consider the house

Germans Depend on Flexibility
of Trench Communications to
Keep Lines Intact in Retreat
(By Morning Journal Special Leased Wre.)

British Headquarters in France,
April IS (via London, 1920 p. IN.
From Staff Correspondent of the
Associated Press) The flexibility of
their trench communications and the
effectiveness of their machine guns
are the two elements of defense upon
which the Germans appear to he plac-
ing their greatest reliance in the pres
ent fighting. In effect, the various
elements of the more important de-
fensive trenches enable the German
fighting line to swing upon double
lringles So If pressed. too hard, one
pivot swings back from the other. In
this manner much ground can be
yielded in a series of angular or criss-
cross retirements, without the fight
ing front technically being broken.
These trenches are known as
switches and a great system of them
is connected with the Hindenburg, or
Siegfried position. 1t was undoubted-
y with these strategic switch lines in
view that Field Marshal Won linden
burg recently declared that the Ger
man lines in the west could not be
broken.
The preparation and maintenance
Of the elaborate system requires an
untold amount of labor, for each Sec
tion of trench must have several belts

come so accustomed to fighting be-

CONGRESS MAY TAKE UP
ONLY WAR LEGISLATION


Washington. April 1S.-Efforts to
confine the extraordinary session of
congress to emergency war legislation
took form or the senate side today
after President wilson's visit to the
capitol.
Senator Simmons, a member of the
democratic committee, submitted for
republican consideration a plan to
limit legislation behind which the ma
iority is expected to line up, and Sem
ator Gallinger. the republican leader,
promised to sound out sentiment on
his side of the chamber
The proposed plan would have COM
mittee chairmen engineer their meet
ings so that none but emergency leg
islation would be brought out. Party
conferences probably will be held
later on the question.
House leaders are agreed that only
emergency measures should be COM
sidered. 1t was reported the emer-
gency session can be adjourned by

he said had been kept from the Amer

Mr.. Gerard said that Admiral Won

proposed the institution of unrestrict-

afterward and attack us, and would

Washington, April 1S-American
farmers are starting under a handicap
in their efforts to carry out President
Wilson's appeal for increased produc-
ton of foodstuffs.
Almost everywhere throughout the
country during the last week temper
atures were unfavOrable and the sea-
son is generally backward, according
to the weekly review of the national
weather and crop bulletin of the
weather bureau. Pastures and ranges
started slowly due to dry weather and
on the upper Rockies snow still re-
mains over large areas. In the north
western states vegetation is still near
ly dormant. termination is slow In
southern districts. While the condi-
tions of the week were favorable for
farm work in some eastern and south
eastern sections. it is generally back
ward.
Decided improvement was reported
in the condition of winter wheat in
Kansas and Oklahoma and small but
steady improvement in the crop In
the Ohio valley and in most other
eastern districts. Not much improve
ment was shown in Nebraska and
there was but little Improvement in
Illinois. The crop is in good oondi-
! ton in the central and upper Rocky
mountain region, but made little prog
ress on the Pacific coast because of
deficient warmth and sunshine. Win
ter rye, which promises record crop,
was generally improved.
No Increase in Potatoes.
Shortage in the winter wheat crop
fully as great as preliminary reports
have forecasted and little increase
| this year in the yield of potatoes are
reported from every part of the coun-
try. The reports were made public
| today as part of the boards pro-
gram to encourage farmers to plant
all acreage possible of cultivation.
Three important facts affecting the
crop and food situation stand out in
the reports received from the presi-
dents of the twelve land banks" the
| boards statement reads. These facts
are stated as follows:
1.-THE winter wheat crop will be
short to quite as great extent as pre-
| liminary reports have shown.
THE shortage of labor and the high
price of seed will prevent material
