PAGE FOURTEEN ABOLITION Ril BOARD TAKEN UP IN COLO. HOUSE Supporters of Measure Unable to Muster Sufficient Votes and Bill Is Expected to Die in Committee DENVER, Colo., April 2.—The fight over the preservation or abolition of the Colorado state railroad commis- sion centered on a new angle in the general assembly today when the bill providing abolishment came up for consideration. It became apparent af- ter some argument that supporters of the measure were unable to muster enough votes to win out on a vote. Should this situation continue, it is predicted, the measure will be con- tinued over from day to day until the end of the session and die a natural death, The fight to abolish the railroad commission has been one of the long- est and bitterest of this session of the legislature. The measure has resolved itself into a contest for or against the construction of the Moffat tunnel to link the continental divide. The bill was passed by the senate. In the house it was referred to the state affairs committee, which voted to table the bill. A minority report, however, was adopted. An attempt of lobbyists to get a re- consideration of the anti-vaccination bill, which was killed yesterday, failed When it was learned the rules pre- vented reconsideration of any bill dur- ing the last week of the session. The house concurred in senate amendments to the Lake bill appro- priating $290,000 for the Colorado rangers. The amendments provide limitation of the ranger force to one company, and placing it under super- vision of the governor instead of divid- ing authority between the governor and the adjutant-general. Minor amendments of the senate to the Sutton bill to establish a depart- ment of economics and sociology at the state agricultural college also Were adopted by the house. This meas- tre was indorsed by the administra- ion. Other bills passed on final reading ‘were: Repealing tho half-mill tax levy for road purposes; providing a board of examiners for licensing engineers and surveyors; amending the fish and game laws; amending the ac tconcern- ing the powers of the state dairy com- mission, The proposed teachers’ minimum wage law was considered in the seh- ate. When the noon recess was taken the bill had been amended several times, but the final vote had not been taken. The only other measure considered by the senate was Representative Love's appropriating $25,000 for the detention home for women. erate aS AB i ‘Blackhand’ Letter ‘Anent ‘Open’ Pies Starts Guessing Pete Wray, senior proprietor of Wray’s cafe, is gunning for the man who. nailed him a blackhand letter during the past week, threatening dire destruction gnd other forms of tor- ture, if the institution which Wray heads doesn't quit making open face pies. Mr. Wray’s intended assailant is a new mover for morality, He hates modern styles or anything that smacks of tardy dress. Cover the pies fully, dress the meat and a few other such valuable suggestions are the cause of Mr. Wray's present worry. Mr. Wray, who is a real sportsman, thinks he has been jobbed. If you are on good terms with him don't consider it amiss if you are held up in the Place and asked to subscribe certain mysterious words on a piece of paper for Mr. Wray’s perusal. He has set out to find his intended assailant. a Frank Anderson Wins Singles NEW YORK, April 2.—Frank T.

New angles of ‘the controversy were discussed at a meet- ing here today of representatives of contractors. The five crafts—carpenters, brick- layers, painters, plasterers and lathers —refused to accept a 10 per cent wage’ reduction awarded recently by the Colorado Industrial commission. These crafts have accordingly been refused employment, it is said, by the con- tractors until April 5, after which time the open shop principle in rela- tion to their crafts will be inaugurated. unless the unions have accepted the award by that date.

Stafford, Secretary, Cham- ber of Commerce, Casper, Wyo. Dear) Mr. Stafford: Secretary Lee M. Bierce of our association ‘of, com- merce has asked me, as chairman of the Grand Rapids Citizen's league, to write you, giving you some reasons for the commission form of city gov- ernment... This I am glad.to do. For a number of years I have been a director in.a commercial. corpora- tion. ‘This company has about 100 stockholders. who elect each year a board of ‘seven ‘directors and by so doing conferring upon them the man- agement of the business. The board of directors then elect a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and managr, who are directly respon: sible to the board. This is, of course,\ the usual organization of a business corporation and makes for the great- est degree of efficiency. I have also been a member of a mu- nicipal corporation that ‘operates under the name of the City'of Grand Rapids. Up to four years~ ago’ the charter of ‘this corporation provided that it should be governed by a mayor, clerk, treasurer, controller and some other officers elected by thé city at large, then there were twelve sub-divi- sions of wards, each of which was en- titled to and elected from its own con- fines, two aldermen which constitute the city’s common council. The re- sult was as fine a combination for “passing the buck” as is possible to conceive of. Can you imagine, any commercial corporation operating under a plan where the stocknolders elected rhe president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, manager, superintendont, shipping clerk, etc., and then can you imagine the workings of such a cor Poration, how the treasurer might in- form the manager that he was run- ning his| own department and was ro- sponsible only to the stockholders who elected him? The shipping clerk and superintendent serving notice-on thy manager that they also were perfectly capable of running their own depart: ments, and as their particular little ring of politicians were able to reelect them, they intended to do just that and continue to run their own depart- ments to suit their own pleasure. The commission form of govern- ment here in Grand Rapids is proving very much more efficient than the old form. There is centralized responsi- bility. When something goes wrong, the commission is held directly re- sponsible. If a citizen has a com- plaint to make of city service, he can take the matter up directly with the city manager. The commission form of government is simply applying the method and practice that is working so efficientty in commercial corpora- tions to municipal corporations. ‘Trusting that this may be of somo service to you, I am, . Cordially yours, IRA BLOSSOM, Chairman Citizen's League. ~ AVTAGHED FOR SUPPLIES LOVELL AFTER GLASS FACTORY Plant Before End of Year, Says Report LOVELL, Wyo., April 2.—It is like- ly that Lovell is to get a second giass factory this year, at least, according to advices received here yesterday from representatives who are now at Caney, Kau. Last week Messrs. W. B, Snyder,and H. B. Harris, represent- ing the Big Horn Glass company of Lovell, went to Caney for a confer- ence with a group of men there re- garding the: building of a second giass factory in Lovell. i For the past several weeks corre- spondence has been carried on between the directors of the doca} glass factory and a group of men in Kansas, trying to arrive at satisfactory arrangements whereby the present plant) at Lovell could be operated on a co-operative bgsis in connection with a second plant to be built by the Kansas group.
