are informed that two members of the
board of control say that with econo-

do they wish the legislature and
members Of the home to understand
that they have been extravagant In

possible they have been extravagant IN
possible that behind the statement sen,

have saved large sums to the state In
their management Of the institutions
under their charge that they have ac-

Then, If that Is not probable, are the
members OF the home to understand
that their table Is to be further de-
nuded OF food and their clothing sup

only places in which the board of con-

Poor House May Set Better Table.
"The laws of Iowa provide that no
old soldier or his family shall be sent
to the poor house. without his consent
We have always understood, indeed
have often been told by members OF
the board OF control themselves. that
this institution was built for home
for the veterans, that they might pass
their declining years here in peace and
comfort But II our food supply must
be still further reduced, in order to
make up for the increased expenses
Of the home elsewhere 1t will not be
long until there will not be a poor
house in the state that does not set a
better table.
Gentlemen of the legislature. the
figures submitted can be found in the
reports OF the honorable board Of con-
troll for the years 1904 to 1906, inclu-
sive, and are easily verified. And II
you, Gall or any Of you'd, will make q
ton will, we believe. convince you that
the variety Of food provided by tho
board is not such as is suited to the
needs of the aged and decrepit men
who compose the membership Of the
Iowa Soldiers Home.
Do Now, or Il Will be Too Late.
1T will be two years before another
session Of the legislature. During the
past two years 100 old comrades and
thirteen OF the wives and widows OF
soldiers members OF this home, have
died. It Is safe to assume that the
death roll will be larger In the future.
and II the state Of Iowa Is going to do
anything for this home, 1t must do 1t
soon or it will be forever too late.
Gentlemen, In our youth we rlsked
our life and injured our health to pre-
serve this government, and thru our
efforts, and those OF our companions
In arms, this country was preserved as
one nation. and 1t was made possible
for US ard our children to enjoy the
blessing Of liberty undisturbed, and for
the nation to become a beacon light to
the downtrodden Of all the earth.
"The patriotic citizens Of Iowa
pledged themselves to see to 1t. that
we should be cared for in our helpless
old age. We appeal confidently to you
arid, thru you to the loyal people OF
Iowa, to see to it that that pledge is
redeemed. Respectfully
