THE DwMDLING
PENSION ROLL
II Loses Nearly Twenty Thousand
Names In . Year.

.
The new report Of the Com.
missioner OF Pensions shows
that the shrinkage in the army
( Of pensioners that began to be
evident two years ago was no
passing fiuctuation but a perma-
nent process. The number of
pensioners reached It maximum
on January 81, 1905, when there
we're ], 1,0O4, ,196 names on the roll.
In May Of that year the figures
dropped below a million, and
have never reached that point
since. On june 80, 1905, there
were 99s, AL, on June 30, 1905,
985,97l. snd on June 30, 1907.
967, 81 nearly forty thousand
less than the maximum and
this although a service pension
law, opening the rolls to every
body with had served for ninety
days in the Union army, had
been passed in February.
But while the number Of pen
.sioners is decreasing, that often
predicted time when the cost of
the pension system shall begin
b. decline is not yet in sight.
With fewer names on the list
than at any time within the past
fourteen years the annual value
of the roll is higher than ever
before. 1t amounted to sI40,-
$50. 5000 on June 30, 1907, an
increase of $4,6l3, ,131. 60 over the
preceding year, and it is still
growing. This is because the
Service Pension Act Of February
8, 1907, increased the rates of a
great number OF persons already
drawing pensions under pre-
vious laws. One of the benef-
ciaries of this act has reached
the mature age Of one hundred
and eight years.
Although the last veterans Of
the Revolution and OF the War of
1912 disappeared from the roll
some time ago, those wars are
still represented. The last wi
dow of a Revolutionary veteran
died on November IL, 1906, but
three daughters of men who
fought for American independ.
ence were still drawing pensions
when the present report closed.
There were also left five hundred
and titty-eight widows of yeter-
ans Of the War OF 1912.
From the beginning until Jane
80. 1907, we paid in pensions
$S,59s, s,0i5.723. The cost Of run.
ming the system amounted 10
over Sil0,000,ooO more. The
Civil War alone has cost in pen.
sions 50, $50, 1875, ,s49.5a.
While the amount paid Ia the
bond holders in principal and in.
terest has amounted 10 nearly
vice as much as the pension
list.

HUNTERS AND FARMERS.

Latter Secure Law Protecting Quail
Former Seek to Kill It.
Through the state there has been
more or less discussion as to just
why the quail protection law is to be
submitted to the voters through the
provisions of the referendum. A lit
tie investigation into the matter
shows that it is move on the part Of
hunters OF the state, because they look
upon the quail protection bill as a
move Of the farmers. The hunters
drafted the kind of a game bill they
wanted and introduced it at the last
session, but the farmerS could not
look upon the situation in the same
way the hunters did, and refused to &C.
cept their bill in any way whatever.
They then passed the quail protection
bill, and the hunters are now out to
SHOW the farmers" for interfering
with their bill, and their way of doing
it is to go after the bill they think the
farmers of the state did want.

TAX AND DOPE FOR BACHELORS

Women OF Clark Urge Extreme Meas
ures Against Men Who Won't Marry.
Finding their efforts to attract the
manageable men of the city some-
what futile, the bachelor maids Of
Clark have petitioned the city council
to put tax on all single men below
forty and to administer chloroform to
all above that age. The petition will
be acted upon by the council at the
next regular meeting. Mayor Will
Jams has copy of the petition in his
possession. 1t follows:
I'VE, the unmarried women OF
Clark, petition the city council to Gre
ate an ordinance demanding of all un-
married men a tax to be graduated as
follows: From 20 to Is years of age,
IS; from rs to 35, $40; from IS to 40,
$40; over 40, use chloroform in large
doses
eve, the petitioners, further assert
that bachelors are a barnacle on the
growth of society and of no earthly
use except as pallbearers We are not
advocating such law because we are
single-that concerns us the least. We
hope the council will take immediate
action and that all newspapers here
and good citizens will assist us in Sc
curing the passage of such an ordi-
nance"

CAN'T STOP PARALLELING.
New Railway Law Evidently Isn't Con-
stitutional.

view hallway Law EVlOehtty isn't Con-
stitutional.
Since copies of the new laws have
been distributed the open places in
some of the laws of the last session
are being discovered. One of the laws
which was pushed through by repre-
sentatives of the South Dakota Cen
trail last winter was to prevent any
railroad paralleling another within
distance Of eight miles, and was urged
to prevent a strong company from
cutting the ground from under weak
er company. Now attention is called
to section 1S of article II of the con-
stitution, which gives to any railway
the constitutional right to construct
and operate a railroad between any
points of the state, and to intersect,
connect with or cross any other line
Of railway. That provision looks like
a strong bar toward any attempt to
enforce the anti-parallel law.
