Unfair Treatment of Towns and
Cities

up to certain period, municipal
judges were elected by the people, then
the law gave the appointment to the
governor.
I'm the matter OF taxation and ex-
penditure Of taxes, the state is now de-
priylng the towns and cities OF sac

now raised by the state taxation and
expended by officers over whose cleo :

and cities a school tax and a state
highway tax. This money is paid In
to the state treasury and is there divi-
ded among the towns, etc, according

"As a matter OF fact there is nc

GOV. McDONALD'S EXPERTS
FILE THEIR REPORT
Ex-Treasurer Brickenstein Had Credited the County
Funds With Military Poll Tax That Should
Have Gone to the State.

Denver, April 26. The special
committee, which was appointed
by Governor Mcdonald and State
Auditor Bent to investigate the
books of the county treasurer Of
Conejos county, to-day made ITS
report to the state officials and the
report shows that the county is
indebted to the state in the sum OF
slips. The entire amount is due
from the military poll tax.
The committee which conducted
the examination was composed of
Chas. Nj. Saxton, of Pueblo, and
E. F. Rundlet. of Golden. Among
other things the report says: We
find that the county treasurer has
remitted to the state treasurer all
moneys received by him collected
under the levy for state purposes
from July, 1895 up to and includ-
ing February, 1906, except as set
forth in the following detailed
statement, number one, which were
RENTED for in January, 1906
Then follows ii detailed state
ment of the accounts of the county
with the state from July, 1895, to
last February. 1t shows that the
amount due the state from July
1885 up to and including February
1906, amounted to S2,657 and that
on January l. 1906, the county
treasurer had sent to the state
treasurer a check for 81, ,727, or $40
more than the state actually had
coming.
Continuing the report says: I'VE
further find that there is 81 .l25 in
the military poll tax account which
was collected under the head of
state military poll and credited to
the county poll tax of Conejos
county and that the said county is
indebted to the state of Colorado
to the amount of $1,l25 as per
statement number two
1t seems that the county treas
urer would collect the military poll
tax and credit the same to the

means loss of several thousand
dollars to them.
The experts Governor Melon
aid sent to Conejo jos to examine the
county treasurer's books have com
pleted their work and it will be
seen by their report, which appears
in another column of this issue,
that the only shortage existing was
that occasioned by Ex-Treasurer
Brickenstein crediting the military
poll tax to the county funds instead
of to the state funds While this
course was contrary to the letter of
the law, the same thing is done by
every county treasurer in the state
to lesser or greater degree as they
all figure that the state gets enough.
anyway, and they feel justified in
saving as much OF the military poll
fund for their county as they can.
1t is extremely gratifying to know
that Mr.. Brickenstein had remit
ted all of the states funds, exclus-
i've of the military polls, and that
the investigation of the county
commissioners was verified by the
governors committee of experts.
The only regret is that Conejos
county will have to dig up the
81 ,125 which was wrongly credited
to her funds.

PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Suggestions
Made.

NJ. C.-If a pensioner fails to sign
his vouchers for one year, he is not
dropt from the rolls. We understand
that the limit is three years before n
pensioners name is dropt from the
pension roll on account of his not exc
cutting and returning his vouchers.
A. NJ. SIN the event that your
death is due to a disability incurred in
service and line of duty your wife will
draw S12 per month pension, since you
were married prior to March 10, 1886.
E. I. S.-G) The act of March /,
1879, prohibited payment of arrears Of
pension from date of discharge to in
valid pensioners under the general law,
unless application for such pension was
or file with the Commissioner of PEN
sions or was placed on file prior to
July 1, 1880. (2.) 1t is impossible to
even estimate the number of soldiers
now on the rolls that did not take ad-
vantage of the act granting arrears of
pensions. but 1t is believed that there
are very few.
H. K. G., Quincy. Ill.-We understand
that the Pension Bureau considers 1t u
doubtful practice for an attorney to
induce claimant to file a second dec
laration for increase Immediately after
the medical examination in a pending
claim for increase
H. ]. p, Norfolk. Va.-If you are in
the U. s. Navy and indebted to the
ships tailor for work done, the Pay
master has the authority to deduct the
same from any money due you. This
would also apply to the barber and
dentist.
8. E.. Knoxville. Tenn.-After a case
has been decided by the Pension Bu-
reau and an appeal taken to the Secre-
tary of the Interior no issue will be
considered that has not been passed
upon by the Pension Bureau
H. G. O.. Dallas, Tex.-If a soldier
died in service from a disease contract
ed while he was absent from his com
mand without leave, IL is doubtful
whether the widow would be pension
able under the act of June 81. 1890. as
it would not be held that he had been
honorabiy discharged.
Reader.-If a soldier deserts before
his term of enlistment expires and
while absent in desertion should be ar
| rested and confined as deserter, he
would not be entitled to pay or cloth
ing during his confinement

The National Eneampment Parade.

A. A. Mannon. NJ. D., 47th ILL.,. Frank
fort, KY, thinks that the National En-
campment parades are q distinctive
feature and should not be discontinued.
He thinks there Is always something
of interest to entertain the veterans
while waiting. and keep their minds
occupied. He recalls the time the En-
campment met in Washington, when
the boys stood in line about three
hours, yet there was so much to look
at that the time passed very quickly
and pleasantly. He also thinks 1t would
be an Improvement if the boys were
to march 16 abreast instead Of eight.
The procession would not be so long,
and the boys could keep their align
ment better, thereby making 9 more
respectable showing. Comrade Mannon
has a mother living who Is SO years old
and whose three sons were all in the
Union army.
