REPEAL AND WORK RELIEF
BIG COLORADO PROBLEMS
Special Session Faced With Two Conflicting Legisa.
tive Proposals, Governor Favoring $40, ,OOO,-
600 for Public Highways.
Democratic opposition to the sales tax

Democratic opposition to the sales tax
increased as the session opened and this,
added to opposition of Republican mi
nority members, made 1t very unlikely
any such proposal could pass.
Another taxation measure suggested
to the Legislature by Gov. johnson is
a cigarette tax, probably cents pack
age. The Governor, in his message,
made it plain to the legislators that
some form of taxation must be adopted
and that he favors direct work relief
over the dole" type now In vogue in
this State
The simplest Of the problems facing
the Legislature Is that of passage Of
lew Coloradoans to vote on ratification
Of the prohibition repeal amendment.
Also, in connection with liquor State
code will be passed. Sentiment on this
code is as varied as on the taxation
problem, with the rabid vets suggesting
that whisky and other alcoholic bever-
ages be dispensed almost without regu-
lation.
In connection with prohibition, DR.. F.
Scott Mcbride, national head OF the
Anti-Saloon League, was in Denver this
week conferring with members Of the
State League, which now is without a
head. the former director. the Rev.
Wade having gone to Wyoming to &C
cept a pastorate.
Dry Prospects Dubious.
DR.. Mcbride admitted prospects of
the prohibitionists are not bright in
Colorado but that he felt their chances
would be much better If the repeal cleo
ton was postponed beyond September
S, the tentative date Members of the
Colorado Repeal League claim the State
will 60 wet by 2-to-i majority, just
as 1t voted in repeating the State pro-
hibition laws last November.
Perhaps the major business develop
ments OF the week were the appoint
ment Of a receiver for the Colorado
Fuel e. Iron Goa flfty-million dollar

interests-and meeting Of professors
Of beet sugar from throughout the Ma
ton to formulate fair practices code.
The c. F. & I. went into receiver

District Court here, appointed Arthur
Roeder, president, as receiver.
Application for the receivership was
made by a New York trust company
which holds a large block Of Colorado
Industrial Co. bonds, which company
is a subsidiary concern.
Denver financial interests looked
upon the receivership as a move to
protect the cash of the concern, which
has been seriously depleted during the
depression because of low earnings.

MISSOURI LEADING
FIGHT ON KIDNAPPING
Death Penalty on McGee Puts
Spotlight of Nation on
Kansas City.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DiSpatch 10 Inc star.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, August 5.-The
death penalty verdict recently assessed
by a Kansas City Jackson County,
Mo, jury against Walter MCGEE, ab-
duc.or of Miss Mary McElroy, daughter
of Kansas City's municipal manager,
has focused the eyes of the Nation on
this States extreme penalty law for
kidnapping.
In the light Of the kidnapping wave
over the country sister States have
been glancing this way, convinced that
they too must enact legislation with a
penalty that will make the crime of abb
duction a most hazardous undertaking.
Not only was Missouri the first State
to enact the death sentence for kid
naping, but it was the first Common
wealth OF the Union to enact a law
providing the extreme penalty for alb
duction, 80 years ago. A kidnapping in
a sister State, that Of Eddie Cudahy,
son Of the millionaire packer, in 1900 in
Omaha by Pat Grove, which startled
the Nation in that day, was the reason
behind enactment Of the Missouri
statute authorizing juries and courts
to decree death in such cases.
Only seven other States have since
seen flt to follow Missouris example.
They are Alabama, Delaware, Florida,
Illinois, Texas, Virginia and Kentucky.
Others, however, in the light Of recent
abductions, are giving serious attention
to the extreme penalty.
Missouri is losing no time in falling
in line with provisions of the national
recovery act. Business concerns by
the thousands in the big centers of
Kansas City. ST. Louis and St. Joseph,
as well as those in the out-State dis
tricts, have signiled their membership,
and are exhibiting everywhere the in
sigma Of the blue eagle pledge.

Maine Fishermen
Oppose Proposal to
Close Hatcheries
Governor Considers Plac.
ing State Employees I'm
der N. r. A. Provisions.
BY SAM E. CONNOR-

Special Dispatch to The Star.
AUGUSTA, Me, August 5.-Maine
is not taking kindly to the announce
ment of Frank T. Bell, Federal COM
missioner Of fisheries, that he. Will
close the salmon hatcheries OF the
State. There are two of these. One
is located at Craig Pond, Orland, the
other at Reed Pond, Dedham. Ac-
cording to the press, the commissioner
said he can see no reason for spending
the peoples money to aid private COM
mercial enterprises.
Fishermen along the Penobscot Bay
region, where the salmon fishery is the
most important, are puzzled to UNDER
stand why it IS worse to spend Federal
money to help their business than 1t Is
to spend 1t in behalf Of farmers, ship
builders, etc. Even with the help
which has been received through the
hatcheries the supply Of sea salmon
has dWindled and the annual catch has
been greatly reduced in recent years
Gov. Brann is seriously considering
placing the State employees under the
provisions of the N. R. A. While he
has not reached a decision, he has
worked out tentative program, which
will be submitted to the executive
council for study, and 1t Is not I'M
probable that the plan will be adopted
and the Governor authorized to make
this move.
From one end to the other Maine Is
struggling with the code. It Is not q
reluctant struggle. but whole-hearted
effort to put the code into operation.
Practically all textile plants are oper-
ating under its provisions, and others
will be as soon as necessary arrange
ments can be made. To put 1t into
operation has been costly to some
mills. One Lewiston mill is reported
to have spent $4,000 in alterations to
make the code operative.

Where department formerly was good

And it's all the result of the happy
experience of Peter Christ opolus, ward
taken from the home and adopted by a
wealthy family of Paterson, N j.
Peters rise has inspired other boys at
the home.
Peter a Year in Home.
Peter, at IA, never had known any
home but an orphanage, when a year
ago he became a ward at the boys
home, where homeless youths are
schooled in books and trades.
Because of his good record, Peters
picture was published in the homes
monthly magazine. In far-away New
Jersey the picture was seen by Jean
Strengs, q wealthy silk dyer.
In Peter he saw a resemblance to his
son who drowned only year before
so that after the necessary formaltties
the youngster was adopted by Mr.. and
Mrs. Strengs.
Immediately the rest Of the boys at
the home sensed opportunity: Excep-
tional politeness has become the rule.
"And it's all because Of what hap
pened to Peter" explains Mrs. w: l..
Maus, an official Of the home. The
BOYS were polite and manly before
now 1t Is merely case OF more so.

BISMARCK, N. Dek., August B.
Labor and administrative troubles In
constructing the new capitol building
and q new impasse on the liquor situ-
alton marked North Dakota develop
ments this week.
No sooner had an argument over the
lathing job at the capitol been settled
than the question Of jurisdiction be-
tween bricklayers and plasterers came
to the fore.
The lathing disagreement was settled
whereby North Dakota men who had
belonged to no union were accepted as
union members and given preference in
the distribution of work. Old-time
union men from out of the State had
objected to this.
The bricklayers claim Jurisdiction
over the plasterers under union rules
and the plasterers resent 1t. Indica-
tions are a separate plasterers' union
will be formed.
Arthur E. Thompson, superintendent
of public instruction, moved to dis
charge the Pillsbury Engineering Co.,
Minneapolis, as consultants on the
capitol job, but got no second IN the
State Board of Administration. The
Pillshury company Is favored by Gov.
William LANCER.
The administration board decided to
install at the State penttentiary q plant
to make motor vehicle license tags and
road signs at cost Of $4,000. Thomp-
son got the Pillsbury's firms bill for

DENVER, Colo, August 6.-Colorado
legislators ended the first week Of their
special session with two conflicting re-
lief proposals before them.
Representatives sponsoring the pro-
gram of Gov. E. c. Johnson introduced
a bill proposing a s20,000,000 public
works program on State highways, with
the Governor as absolute dictator.
The other proposal was introduced
jointly by Republican and Democrat
and seeks a s10,000000 public works
program, administered by three-man
board of control. A wide divergence Of
opinion already has developed on the
two measures, and 1t IS believed the
Republican minority will support the
three-man board Of control compared
to the dictatorship Of the Governor.
The main problems facing the State
legislators in their special session are
repeal Of the prohibition laws and relief
for the unemployed. Linked with this
last problem is taxation.
Originally, Gov. E. G. johnson
planned to propose 2 per cent sales
tax, and although he included sales
tax proposal in his message to the legis-
lators it is believed this type of levy
will be abandoned In favor Of fiat tax
on automobiles,
