SPECIAL ELECTION TO BE
 HELD IN DENVER SOON

DENVER, May 13 by Associated Press).-In addition to bond issues totaling $3,S5O,0O0, the voters of Den yer on May 20 will pass on fire pro- posed changes in the city charter.
 The bond issues which will be voted on only by taxpayers would produce $3,OOOOOO with which to construct new city hall and court house on property adjoining the civic center on the west, and thus form a balance to the state capitol, which stands east of the civic center The remain ing $S50,OOO would be used to con- struct a tuberculosis hospital and pro- vide additional facilities at the county hospital
 The charter amendments would modify the present mayor form of mu- nicipal government, under which the mayor has unusual powers; would pro- vide for a commission to supervise the construction of the proposed city hall and court house; increase the pay of city firemen and policemen $25 month; extend the civil service clause of the charter to include all city employees, and decrease public utilities commission to regulate rates on public utilities in the city.
 The most revolutionary of the pro- posed amendments is the one affecting the form of municipal government. In addition to providing for the mayor ment would make eight of the execu- tive officers of the municipality elec- tive instead of subject to appointment by the mayor, as at present.

-Four Thousand
Arrests

In the eighteen months of their
existence the troopers have made
moro than 1000 arrests for crimes
varying from murder to peddling
junk without license. Raw and
new to the service as they were,
they watched and collected evidence
before they struck. As a result only
per cent Of the cases in which they
have acted have resulted in actual
discharge. OF the remainder "a per
cent OF those arrested were convict
ed and 10 per cent Of the cases are
still pending.

In 1913 they patrolled 7ss,27s

This is only one of the methods OF
economy that the service is practis-
ing. Everywhere Major Chandler Is

the line where parsimony would
hamper efficiency. As the Depart
ment Of State Police stands TODAY.
it is probably more than paying
for itself. Captain Robinson is
allowed $1,000 a month to run his
troop. OF this he has never spent
more than $4,000. Generally his
months expenses are in the neigh
borhood of $2,70O.

the major closed his Office in Kings

he had received his commission his
troopers were uniformed, equipped
and in camp. There they went

Through this room stream of
applicants for service with the
troopers is flowing every day. All
OF them are men from the service,
for the police are now considering
no others. Perhaps one in twenty
is found eligible.
Mentally and physically the re-
Quirements for recruit are higher
than in any branch of the govern
mcnt service. He must have a body
without blemish and a mind that
reacts almost instantancously. He
must also be thorough horseman.
If he survives the rigors of men
tai examination and a memory test,
the major himself rolls up his sleeves
and makes physical inventory Of
the applicant from mis- scalp to the
soles of his feet. Usually after that
he grunts commiscratingly and tells
the would-bc recruit why he won t
do Mt all. A missing tooth will bar
a man as absolutely as chronic heal t

Soon To Be
SeIf-Supporting

Of all the departments of the state
government the troopers were the
only one TO make reduction in the
amount demanded from the treasury
for 1919. Major Chandler reduced
his budget $4,000 this year. Last
year the appropriation was $695, ,2S0.
During those twelve months the
troopers brought into the state
treasury in fines, saving on appro-
priation and sale of equipment,
$539,177.51. In other words, it cost
New York to support four troops
of mounted men about $l56,0O0 in
actual money.
With the $140,0oo reduction in the
budget for this year taken into con-
sidcration, it is more than probable
