LEGISLATURE OF
COLORADO OPENS;
HOUSES DIVIDED
DENVER.—The twenty-second bi
ennial session of the Colorado state
legislature opened here on January
1, with its senate securely in the
hands of Democratic leaders and its
house controlled by a strong Repub
lican majority. Because of this di
vision in political control prospectve
legslation is rather limited; with in
terest centered chiefly in the recon
struction program, and in the enact
ment of laws governing the new
civil service commission which was
created by a constitutional amend
ment, adopted at the recent Nov
ember election.
Possibility of the passage by con
gress of a statute embodying Sec
retary of the Interior Lane’s plan
foi' making state lands available to
returning soldiers through irriga
tion deevlopment. The legislature
must first decide whether existing
statues enable the state to take ad
vantage of the Lane plan. If the
decision is affirmative bills ertibody
ing the needed legislation will be
introduced; if negative an effort to
submit a constitutional amendment
at the next election correcting such
a condition will be made. Along
the line of peace-time development
the state immigration commission
will also sponsor bills providing for
a comprehensive survey of the agri
cultural opportunities.
A strongly partisan contest is an
ticipated on the enactment of the
civil service commission bill. The
amendment creating the commission
defined its powers in general terms
only and Democrate leaders, in con
trol during the past years, see in
the framing of the new civil service
law an opportunity to continue in
office every Democrat now holding
office.
The ratification of the federal
prohibition amendment early in the
session is considered a certainty,
Prohibition leaders, however, will be
active in urging the passage of legis
lation which will continue the state
constabulary organization, which
under the terms of the present
measure is automatically abolished
00 days after the signing of the
peace treaty.
Labor representatives plan to seel
the repeal of the provision in thi
industrial law which prohibits the
culling of a strike without givinj
thirty days notice to the state in
dustrial commission and may alse
seek an increase in payments undei
the employe’s compensation act.
The highway commission is as ye'
undecided whether to seek a larg<
appropriation for road developmen:
or legislation which will mal#e pos
sible a bond issue for road improve
ment. A measure placing auto trucl
service under the control e> th(
public utilities commission is als(
planned.
The session will be the first ir
the history of the state in whicl
appropriations for the state educa
tional institution will not form i
part of the legislative program, th<
twenty-first assembly having placet
all such institutions on the mil
levy basis.
WYOMING
CHEYENNE, Wyo.—The Wyom
ing state legislature, convening or
January 14, Following the installs
tion of state officials on the 7th
is expected to give precedence t<
statutes carrying out the mandate
of the people in voting the prohi
bition amendment into the state
constitution. The session is limited
by statute to forty days.
A revolution in road construction
laws will be proposed and fathered
by the state highways commission in
a bill placing exclusive authority for
the laying out and construtcion of
all highways within the state in the;
hands of the state highway commis
sion, taking this authority away
from county commissioners.
It is urged such a statute would
lead to conformity and economy.
Whether the state educational sys
tem shall be continued in the hands
of a state superintendent or a state
board of education will be decided
during the comming session.
Provisions for the returning sol
diers will be given great consider
ation, plans already suggested pro
viding for an elaborate program of
road construction on which soldiers
would be employed. The incoming
governor, Hon. R. D. Carey, is a!
highway enthusiast, and is expected
to encourage a most liberal policy
of road construction and mainten
ance.
The legislature is expected to re
vive the state immigration bureau
and generally equip it with funds
for the inauguration of a vigorous
campaign for new settlers.
NEW MEXICO
ALBERQUERQUE, N. M.—Ef
forts to submit a woman suffrage
amendment to the state constitution,
to obtain immediate adoption of the
national prohibition amendment and
to revise the election law, especially
along the lines of a modified form
of the direct primary, probably will
be made at the present session of
the state legislature, which began
January 7• and will continue for
sixty days.
Other legislation with fair chance
of passage by the legislature follows:
Stringent provisions for the en
forcement of the state-wide prohibi
tion amendment, which became ef
fective October 1, 1918.
The establishment of a state de
partment of health.
The establishment of a state de
partment of agriculture and statis
tics, which may include state immi
gration and development.
A “blue sky" law.
The state highway commission will
submit u *5,000,000 road building
plan.
Great interest is being shown in
the proposed establishment of a
state department of agriculture and
statistics because of the increased
opportunities such a department
would be able to offer to returned
soldiers, especially by co-operating
with the secretary of the interior
in settling the public domain. The
development of state lands would
be of course another result of the
establishment of such a department,
it is pointed out.
The legislature is two-thirds Re
publican. and the governor is also
Republican. The lower house was
chosen at the November elections,
the senate being held over.
New Mexico has a lizard which is
reputed to squirt blood from its
eyes.
