Exit Colorado Rangers

Denver, Colo.-(FP)-The Colora-

almost done for, writes President +.
R. Hoage of the state federation of
labor to President John Walker of the
Illinois federation. The bill calling
for repeal passed the house of rep
resentatives without a dissenting vote
and it is now up to the senate and
enough votes have been pledged to
secure its passage.
"The people of Colorado have real
lied for long time that the regu-
larly elected peace officers of our
counties are able to cope with any
situation that may arise" writes Mr.
Hoage, "and that the words of Gov
Adams in his message to the legisla-
ture were indeed correct. Under the
caption State Rangers he said, "The
state ranger act should be speedily
repealed. 1t is useless, unnecessary
and a source of irritation

our state is needed in Illinois ther,

ties Company, a corporation, Midwest
Natural Gas Company, corporation.
Several of the towns In Northeast
.ern Montana have recently sent COM
plants to the Public Service Com
mission at Helena that the rates
lcharged were excessive. The coming
OF the Montana Power Company to
Glasgow made matters worse for the
eastern Montana light companies be-
cause OF the fact that the big hydro
electric company sells juice IN Glas-
gov for cents per kilowatt. The
rates charged by the other power
companies range from 13 to 10 cents
for the same quantity OF juice. Such
towns at Wolf Point seeing the rates
which the people of Glasgow bought
their power for became considerably
agitated over the matter and sent
complaints and deputations to Hell
ena to protest. Hence the inquiry.
