1t is reported from Hot Springs that at
the recent meeting Of the Soldiers home
board it passed a resolution that has
caused considerable agitation among the
members. But as it was passed by a
unanimous vote no ~parlisanship charges
enter into it. They resolved that all
members of the Home whose incomes
from all sources exceeds Sl2 q month
shall pay over to the commandment all
such amounts in excess of that amount,
taking his receipt therefor. This money
is to be placed in the subsistence fund TO
be turned over to the state treasurer,
who in turn places it to the credit of the
incidental fund of the home. 1t is pro-
yided, however, that any member of the
home VINO has n or more members of
his family dependent upon him and
sends the surplus amount to them shall
be exempt from this rule. 1t is said that
this rule will affect about twenty-three
inmates of the home, but they do not
seem to be greatly worried over it for
they say that they have plenty of rela-
tives.
