Anti-vivisection Measure Would For
bid Hooking Fish.

Like Lincoln's "rat hole in the corn
er" the initiated bill on snti-viyisec-
tion Twill bear looking into" The
title of the bill is as follows: "An
Act to Prohibit Injurious, Dangerous
or Painful Experimental Operations
or Administrations Upon Human Be-
ings or Dumb Animals Except to Re
lieve or Cure Them: Making Excep-
tions of Persons Conserving to Such
Experiments and Providing Penalties
for Violation of the Act"
There appears to be n joker here,
for the title does not correspond to
the wording of the bill. The wording
of the bill is very explicit and makes
no exceptions. The following is tax
en- from the bill which you will be
asked to vote on next November: "For
the purpose of this Act the words in
furious, dangerous and painful shall
be held to include any experiment, op-
Grafton or administration which may
reasonably be expected to do injury
", Ut cHuSnRer Ut cause pam Ut SUI
fering to, or in, any part or any or
gan Of the person or dumb animal so
experimental or operated upon, or ad-
ministered to, either at or during the
time of such experiment. or as an af-
ter effect or result thereof"
If this bill becomes a law the courts
will alone have the power of interpret
ing the same, which will be difficult
because of its ambiguity. After read
ing the bill carefully, but one conclus-
ion can be reached,-any operation on
i person or dumb animal, that causes
pain, will be violation of the law. II
this should be the Interpretation of
the courts, then it will be unlawful to
brand. casterate, dock lambs. kill
grasshopperes, poison rats or prairie
dogs, trap mice or catch fish.
Those who are sponsoring the bill
declare that it relates only to expert
ments upon people or animals. If so
the bill Lad better be rewritten and
made explicit before asking the people
Of the state to make it law-Geo. II.

Irrigation Development Under State
Control.

The largest irrigation development
in Colorado during the last ten years
is being made in Bent County. in the
lower Arkansas Valley, under direction
and control Of the State Board of Land
Commissioners and the State Engin-
eer. The land was government land,
segregated and passed to the state
under the terms of the Carey Act, and
comprises fine body of 25,0OO acres.
1t is officially known as Carey Act
Segregation No. IL, and is being con-
structed by The Mutual Carey Irriga-
tion Company, an association Of the
land owners, and is being built mu-
tually and for cost.
The majority of the land owners
come from Northern Colorado, with
others from the middle western states.
By monthly assessments, s45O. 900 has
been raised and expended to date.
Something like s4OO 900 additional will
be needed to complete.
This money is paid into trust by
the land owners, and can only be paid
out on the order of the State Board
Of Land Commissioners, in payment
for construction costs. Thus by mu-
tual cooperative effort, homes for $50
families will be provided and proper
ty values approximating $1,000 900
created.

Budgetting Downwards.

Annual expense of the national gov
ernment is reported to have been cut
three thousand six hundred million
dollars-S3, SOC, 900, 900.
This is reported to have been the
result of the application of the budget
system that has been enacted by Con-
gress-too good to be true.
General DAVIS, assisted by thirteen
prominent business men serving at one
dollar a year, are credited with hav-
ing accomplished this.
A start in the right direction has
been made. The states may follow
suit. Cities and counties may catch
the fever and economize little.
The budget so far as it draws the
assistance Of mere taxpayers into the
game of making and cutting estimates
will prove godsend.
Budgets made up of the demands of
those who get or spend the money will
never reduce the overhead cost of gov
eminent perceptibly.
When the budget committee is made
up fairly of both taxeaters and tax
payers then some results may be ex-
pected-but not before.
State budget laws that merely as
semble the aggregate demands Of all
the aggregated bodies Of spenders and
officials are farce.

Joy Riders Damage Mayors Jitney.

his Ford runabout last Sunday even

not being as well acquainted with the
machine as they might be they SEEM
ed to Lave lost control of it when
they started up over the crossing at
the depot and instead of crossing the
bridge at the seep ditch made an at
tempt to jump the ditch little ways
up the stream. The machine plunged
headlong into the water where it was
abandoned by the miscreants instead
of being recovered for its owner Ra-
dius rods, steering gears and tenders
were little crooked when the machine

COLORADO YEAR BOOK
Edition for 1922 Will Soon Be Pub
lished and the Leading Place is
Given Agriculture.

The 1922 edition of the Colorado
Year Book, soon to be issued by the
State Immigration Department, will
contain many new features and will be
the most complete statistical record of
the states industrial and political ac-
tivities yet published. 1t will contain
approximately 40 pages, which is 20
pages more than the 1921 edition con-
tanned. and will present many new
statistical tables never before made
available to those interested in the de-
velopment of the state. 1t will also
contain several small outline maps
showing the distribution OF farm ami
mails in the various counties in the
state, the distribution of acreage of
the leading crops and other agricul-
tural data.
Agriculture, as the leading industry
Of the state, receives fuller treatment
in the statistical tables than any other
subject. As result OF the excellent
WIN VI Nodhsg aootoSOiS
agricultural statistics for the Immi-
grafton Department the Department is
now able to present for each county
in the state practically as full a line
of statistics of agricultural develop
ment and production as is available
for any of the older agricultural states.
This raeard xua. hau,n 10 rQtQ a,l
comparisons are now available for
four consecutive years. These COM
parisons show accurately the agricul-
tural development of the several coun-
ties, and illustrate very forcefully the
rapid growth of the farming industry
in many Of the counties of the east
ern part of the state. particularly those
counties lying south Of the South
Platte valley. Many counties in this
area have more than doubled their cul-
tivated area in the period covered by
the reports and some Of them have in
creased il as much as 800 per cent.
A considerable increase in the number
Of farms operated is shown fer these
counties. which indicates healthy in
crease in population for the agricul-
tural districts.
The records of the Immigration De-
partmeat indicate that the movement
Of farmers into Colorado from other
states in the past eighteen months has
been somewhat lighter than during the
previous eighteen months. but It has
been heavier than most Colorado pco-
pie realize, in spite of the unfavorable
financial conditions which have had a
tendency to halt immigration. Reports
OF county assessors this year show
slight increases in the number Of farms
being operated in nearly all eastern
Colorado counties and in many coun-
ties on the western slope
The Year Book will be ready for
distribution within ten days I. will
be distributed free Of charge to cham
bers of commerce, certain public Of
ficials and to others who make public
use Of it. A small number Of copies
will be available a. th- cost Of publi-
cation to those desiring it for private
use.

Asst. Chief Of Army Aviation Sets
 World Record

Mt Clemens, Mich. Oct, 19- Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, assist ant chief of the United States Army Aid Service, yesterday set new off oia worlds speed record when he few over a one kilometer course at Selfrdge Field at an average speed of S24.05 miles an hour n four heats.
 The test was timed by representa- : tives of the Federation Aeronnautique Internationale, thus making the rec ord official.
 Gen. Mitchell drove the army Cur tiss plane which last week won the Pulitzer speed trophy and in which Lieut.. R. J. Vaughan later drove un- officially at speed of 24s5 miles an hour. While Lieut. Maughan's speed at that time was faster than that made yesterday and was under United States army regulations no represen- tatives of the Federation Aeronau- tique Internationale were present, a fact that prevented his mark stand ing as an official worlds speed rec o1d

said that the avlaior's headgear must he redesigned before the high speed could be maintained with safety An inclosed cockpit might also aid in solving the problem, he said
 The force of the wind at the speed he attained, Gen Mitchell added, probably would be great enough to break a pilots arm were he to thrust out his hand during such a flight.
 To set the new official record. Gen. Mitchell drove an army-Curtiss biplane, mounting a 400 horsepower Curtiss engine.
 Secretary of Commerce Hoover witnessed the flight and congratulated army and navy and civilian engineers on their great strides in aeronautical development.

MRS. G|BERSON GETS LIFE IMPRISONMENT
Receives Verdict Calmly, Protest.
 ing Innocence

Toms River, N J, Oct 19-Mrs, Ivy Giherson was found guilty last night of the murder Of her husband, William F, Giberson in Lakehurst, August 1, and was immediately sen. fenced to life imprisonment
 Mrs Giberson received the verdict. guilty of murder in the first degree, without emotion, and when the sen tence was imposed, she kept her calm demeanor as she had done through out the trial.
 Jury Out Four Hours.
 Her son. Joseph Richmond, and her brother were in the courtroom when the jury brought in the verdict after more than four hours deliberation.
 T am innocent" Mrs. Giberson said and if I have to remain in prison for the rest of my life, will not be the first innocent person so punished. I shall fight this case to the bitter end"
 With a dramatic flourish, the case went to the jury late yesterday The flourish came just before the charging Of the jury.
 Springing a surprise on the court room Prosecutor Jayne produced the blood stained pillow in which Giber- sons head rested the night he was slain in bed. On the pillow was an outline in grease and grime, of pistol. ...
 Lays Pistol on Pillow.
 Then Mir. Jayne produced the pistol with which the state claimed the crime was committed and which it as serted Mrs Giberson had hidden in an outhouse before hiding herself and announcing. when discovered, that her husband had been slain by rob- bers-a story which the prosecutor defined as a"Mutt and Jeff fairy tale"
 With spectators craning their necks, Mir Jayne laid the pillow on table in front of the jury, Then he placed the pistol on the outline of oil and dirt.
 You will notice that this revolver exactly coincides with the outline of a. revolver on the pillow" said MT. Jayne T tell you that this revolver was placed upon the pillow beside Giberson while he slept, the trigger 1 was pulled, and he was killed. This | ts tell-tale exhibit which, I believe was left behind as an act of God to the murderer
 This is the most cold blooded, vil lainous, dastardly, cowardly murder in this state and the murderer de- serves no sympathy. Even the toulest and most criminal thief has some sense of honor. and generally speak ing. is not a coward. This unfor

 Mrs. GibersSn, described by the prosecution as a woman of steel nerves, never winccd 0f all those in the courtroom she alone seemed unaffected,
 In his charge Supreme Court Jus tice Kallseh told the jurors to give the defendant no special considera ton because she was n woman
 Justice Kalisch said that it was un- necessary for the state to prove that Mrs Giherson actually fired the fatal shot It need prove only that she was an accomplice in the crime.

Lecointe Hold Former Record.

The former worlds record recog E nized by the Federation was made in France last year by Sadi Lecointe, who piloted his machine at an aver age Of e04 miles an hour.
 Gen, Mitchell in the tests yesterday flew twice with and twice against the wind On the two trials with the wind he averaged 249a4 and 241ss miles an hour, respectively, Against the wind his average was 20429 and 2r6,lb miles an hour
 Commenting on his great speed Gen. Mitchell said it might now be considered 'an ordinary feat for an aviator in one Of the modern high power planes to attain a rate far in excess of 200 miles m hour Only mechanical development, with in creased protection for pilots, was necessary, he believed to register even faster flights than have been made.
