LEGISLATIVE DolNGs
Denver. March

The Lambert consolidation bill,
which wipes ont more than score of
boards and bureaus and strengthens
the authority OF the elected state ohi-
GERS, is now in the hands OF the rules
committee OF the house and will be
brought on the floor this week. The
measure was sent to the rules com
mittee from the judiciary committee,'
after more than a months considera-
ton
The measure as it now stands hns
the approval OF the judiciary COM
mittee and of joint committee OF
senators and representatives who
have been working on every provis-
ion. Before being put in final form,
the joint committee obtained the ad-
vice OF experts on political economy
from all parts OF the state. AS now
drawn, the measure is believed calctt.
lated to meet all the immediate needs
Of the state government; to eliminate
all duplication of work at the state
house; and to save the taxpayers Of
the state many thousands OF dollars
each year.
At the same time that the Lambert
bill was sent to the rules committtee.l
the judiciary committee also sent
over the Sweet measure. the so-called
administrative code bill. In spirit
of fairness. the Republican majority
in the committees will consent to
have this bill placed on the calendar
for consideration In the house on the
same day that the Lambert bill ts
brought up. Opposition to the Sweet
bill, however. has developed among
members OF the governors own politi.
cal party. and It is believed that the
Sweet measure would have hA chance
to pass.
Chief objection to the Sweet bill 10
based on the failure OF si1Ailar meas
ures in Illinois and Nebraska. In
these two states operation OF an ads
ministrative code has resulted In ad.
ditionai expense. in duplication Of
work. and in multiplication OF boards
and bureaus.
"The Sweet bill is an attempt tdyw.
pose an autocratic. onc-man govera.
ment on Colorado" a leading member
of the state senate said In voicing the
views OF those who have been cop
sidering both the Sweet and .L.ambeyt
measures. 1T Is fundamentally an
tagonistic to the constitution. which
places authority In the hands OF the
treasurer. the auditor. the secretary
OF state and other constitutional ON.
GERS elected directly by the people"
When the Lambert bill is out OF the
way-and It's rapid enactment by both
houses is expected the legislature
will turn to the long appropriation
bill. The Lambert bill will De br0t
mp first. because Its operation would
result In greatly decreased appropria-
tions for certain branches OF the gov
ernment.
Members now believe that the
legislature Nwill be able to adjourn
early In April. after having accom-.
plished what has long been the aim
OF the Republican party-the eliminn-
tlon OF boards and bureaus, and the
reduction Of taxation.

SPECIAL DIFFICULTIES
CONFRONT COUNTY ASSESSORS

Special difficulties Will confront
county assessors this year in making
the annual assessment. as we'll as in
the collection OF annual agricultural
statistics showing acreage of various
crops Under cultivation. The diff
|culties in assessment work will be
somewhat similar to these of the past
two years. touching valuation of all
assessable property. and particularly
|of farm property. Since agricultural
incomes have fallen of sharply in the
past two years it is natural that tax
paying farmers are seeking decreases
in the assessed value OF their proper
.ty. to the end that their taxes may be
decreased.
In the matter Of agricultural statis-
tics. which are collected by county
assessors for the State Immigration
department under Law enacted in
1919. the difficulty will arise chiefly
from the uncertainty on the part OF
FARMERS at the time assessment be.

BOYS AND GIRLS COUNTY
CLUB WORK PROGRESSING

announcement Of the proposed plan
to push boys and girls club work in
Phillips County. You were told at
that time that the Glib work is re-
ceiying the hearty endorsement of
the County Commissioners and that
the work is going to be pushed to the
limit here in this county.
To have movement like this sue
ceed and be as worth while here as
in other col.ntiss will require the
support of more than just a few who
are in charge of the work. The day
of experiment in boys and girls club
work is past and it's actual worth has
proven itself beyond any further
question.
Every fall and winter we read in
our papers about the excellent work
being done by the boys and girls in
Logan, Laramie, Weld washington
and Yuma counties. as well as else
where over the state. But so far
none of the good things have ever
come through any efforts PIT forth
in Phillips county.
Last year the two girls who were
named the champion canning club
demonstrators from Kit Carson. just
south of here. were the winners OF
the National Western Stock Show
and again at the International Show
in Chicago. They combated with the
teams from every state in the Union
ut Chicago and took first place. AS
result Of their achievement, this
team of girls from Kit Carson, and
the team which took second place
accompanied by Che state club leader
Miss Sheridan. will receive as a prize
trip to France next summer. where
they will demonstrate to the French
people the American methods of car
ing for fruit and vegetables. This
achievement was reached through
the work done by the girls canning
club In county not rs well equipped
with natural resources to handle the
work as Is our own county. Yet the
boys and girls OF this county havl
never been given q real chance Il
show what they could do with wori
| Of this natnre. ,i4s~-':'77
The chshce IL here now and on
success viii depend upon the help o.
everyone Interested In the boys and
girls Of this county Do not let the
matter pass idly and say. 20. we'll
We never have done much along thai
line and don't think the conditions
are ouch that We should start Il now :
Indifference Is the hardest thing to
combat In any movement. so boost
for the club work. Its value is 90
apparent to anyone who has studied
the development OF the movement
that there should be no hesitation on
the part OF anyone.
Ono OF the surest ways Of interest
ing boys and girls and keeping them
ON the farm Is TO give them some
thing interesting TO do and this clib
work furnishes this interest better
than anything else that has ever been
tried.
Once the sectional meetings around
over the county can be arranged the
state clab leader will come down here
TO help In the county organization Of
corn. pig and canning clubs and pos.
sIbly calf club. In tho meantime
anyone who Is interested In the club
work. whether boy or girl. or the
parent OF any boy or girl between
the ages OF ten and eighteen years.
should make tho fact known to +. y.
BrollIar at Holyoke. who will explain
the county plan for this summer.

Out Of Luck

He looked at her longingly, pas

debonaire, and clean, white collar
sat upon his strongly nodded neck.
His hair was perfectly parted into
two patent-leather folds. She was
adorable from delicious silk-cla
calves to her extravagant marcel.
Every line of her beautiful young
body showed clearly and sweetly
through her apparel. They were per-
feet mates. He sat on one side of
the subway car-she sat on the other
side. What pity for convention to
keep two such perfect beings apart,
for they can never speak to- each
other! They cannot so much as sit by
each other. She cannot drop a hand

up, for she has none. They can ONLY
