NOW 1T is OHIO THAT HAS 4
GRIEVANCE AGAINST THE
NATION.

1t surely is cause of pleasure to
note the fact that the latest State
which has a fight on its hands against
the federal government is north OF
ancc against The nation and proposes
TO make IL contest that will more than
equal any that has been waEcd by
II commonwealth in the South. Ohio
has never been known MS IN ndvo-
cate of states rights, but in going TO
know what right the administration
has TO mix up In affairs which she
considers all her own. Ohio has in
tho past looked with askancc upon
the South for still believing that the
states had their rights, hut now thar
she has having her own feet trod-
den upon perhaps the focus Will he
different. Ohio's grievance Is not one
on the railroad question. The ques.
ton, which by the way Is one OF local
interest, concerns the disposition OF
the estates of national homes for sol
diers who die without heirs. Some,
thing between S250.000 and S350.00O
is involved In the contest. as the state
authoritlcsc contend that about THIS
amount Of money has been wrongly
appropriated by the federal govern
ment TO its own use in tho last thirty
years. Should the state laws he up-
held by the United States Supreme
Court-and II Is certain that the case
Will be finally carried TO that bouy
for adjudlcaton--it is likely that the
other states in which the dozen or
more soldiers homes are situated will
bring the total up to 100000. Nat
orally, the government Is not disposed
to pay over this sum without strug-
gle and viii fight the contention OF
the State OF Ohio, even though it may
be beaten In the test cases which will
probably be heard the coming fail.
The homes for old soldiers scattered
throughout the country are under the
jurisdiction of the National Home for
Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, a cor
poratlon organized under the federal
laws Tho central branch of the
home, and the ono which in general
houses most of the veterans, is at
Dayton, Montgomery County Ohio.
Under the federal regulations any old
soldier who wishes TO enter one of Tho
branches of the home and who holds
a pension from the government, must
first assign his position to the cor.
poration. The pension so assigned is
then turned over to the superintcnd
ent OF the home To which he is adj
mitted. The money is then given out
to the pensioner in such sums as the
superintendent may deem necessary
Many of the old soldiers who enter
the homes are without relatives OF
friends. and the estates of most OF
them at death are comparatively
small. probably the largest being IL
the neighborhood of $1,000. Hereto
fore. where claimants for the proper
~ of the dead man have failed to ap
pear. the pension money credited t.
the decedent has been turned over t.
the United States Treasury.
Now comes forward the State Of
Ohio, with the contention that the
property of all inmates of the hon,

REPUBLICANS SPLIT ON TARIFF
REVISION.

The Ohio situation has developed
II good, square issue and it looks as
If there would be n real contest in the
next Republican national convention.
1t will be Taft and tariff revision
against no revision and for or against
Secretary Taft. The Republicans
have been divided on this issue for
several years past There was an Gle.
mont ut the last national convention
that wanted 10 put something In the
platform which would promise rcvi.
sion. and finally 1t was agreed that
"rcadjustmont" should take place
when necessary But Secretary TAFT
has said he WAS for immediate revi-
sion. not in the indefinite future. but
rs soon as action can be taken. Every
delegate chosen for Taft will stand
on his platform ana try and secure
Il plank In the national platform de-
clarng for tho Immediate revision of
the tariff.
Tho Ohio situation has forced n
fight in the Republican party upon
the tarifi. And there are several
berry prominent rcvisionists in the
Republican party. II has been known
for some time that Mr.. Roosevelt Ia
vors revision and has been persuaded
To forcgo recommending revision in
his messages by Republican leaders
who convinced him that the oppor-
tune time has not arrived. Visitors
To tho White House before tho Pres.
idcnt left Washington. and men who
have been ut oyster Bay have given
ont the scmiofficial tip that revision
Is TO come after the next presidential
election
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. Is
for revision and wants the dcclnra.
ton in tho national platform. Con.
gresham Mccall of tho same state
and Il member of the committee on
ways and means. has been talking re-
vision for several years. The same
Is true of Congressman Hill OF Con.
necticut- Gov. Curtis Guild. an init.
mate friend of the President. ana n
man who wiclds considerable influ.
cncc in Massachusetts. has been urg-
Ing revision persistently. Senator La
Toilette OF Wisconsin, Gov. Cummins
OF Iowa, and Congressman Tawncy OF
Minnesota, are among the western
men who have declared cmphaticaly
for revision. Senator Devcridgc of
Indiana, has made the declaration In
every campaign speech. Both Scna.
tors Cullom and Hopkins of Illinois.
have declared for revision
Although many leaders have bocu
named who are out in the open de-
handing tariff revision, there are quite

vision, and who will take up the fight

or proposes. In the eight months ~
fore delegates are chosen. much can
be done on both sides. There is timc

not they want the tariff revised. If

The Black Hills Medical Association
met here Saturday night. Some ff-

the Hills we're in attendance. They
spent the day at Wind Cave, in the
plunge and sightseeing generally, be.

Some very interesting papers we're
read and discussed, that by yDr. G. G..
Allison, of Omaha, being particularly
fine, provoking quite discussion.
They transacted some very impor-

asked to enlighten the general lpublic
the members would only look wise
and say it was unethical to advertise.
The Association metihere more for q
good time than for business and from
the looks of things they seemed to
have found it as they all left with
smiles, and regrets that they could not
stay longer.

ABOUT THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY
To The Patrons And Those Interested
In The Public Library.

10 The Patrons And Those Interested
In The Public Library.
The Committee having in charge the
petition asking the city council to
levy tax of mill and one-half to
sustain public library and reading
room in Hot Springs, 80 as to enable
us to get Carnegie library building
located here, reports as follows:
That the petition was presented to
the city council Monday evening
September 9th, and it contained at
that time the signatures of 80 legal
voters of the city, and represented
every merchant of the town except
one, who was away, and every business
man of the town but two or three, and
probably represented 1920 of all the
tax payers of the city. and yet in the
face of this showing one member of the
CITY council was strenuously opposed
to locating Carnegie library in the
city All the other members of the
city council were in favor of the petit
ton and had signed the same, except
this one, but on the advice of the City
Attorney that we had dropped from a
city of the second class to city of the
third class, it was impossible to take
the matter up in the form presented
to the council. In order to have a
library maintained by city of the
third class it must first be submitted
to vote at general or annual elec-
tiop, and if it then carries the city
must levy tax to maintain it. 1t will
be impossible to take vote upon the
subject until the next annual election
in April when the question will be
submitted to the voters.
The Library Association feels very
much gratified over the showing made
and the fact remains that out of the
80 signers, or people who were asked
to sign it, only five refused and their
aggregate tax paid in 1906 upon prop
erty in the city of Hot Springs did not
not exceed the sum of 100000 We
mean by this property listed and as
sessed in their individual names. OF
course we have no way Of ascertaining
what property they might have under
some other name.
The Library Association wish to eX
tend their hearty thanks to those who
have aided them, or tried to aid them
in getting free Carnegie library
located in Hot Springs, and we are
sorry that we will not be in position
to maintain the library by public tax
1t will now be necessary for the
citizens of this town, as individuals, te
determine whether the library will bt
closed on December 18th, or whether
it will be run another year by persona
subscription.
The actual library membership a
this time is nearly 200 and since las
December the library and reading
room has been open each Afternoon
and evening. and the reading room il
absolutely free to all and all ar
cordially invited to enjoy it.
We did not anticipate that an!
member of the city council would wisf
to put Hot Springs in the class o
cities OF the third class, and for thai

reason did not expect any opposition
to the petition that was presented.
Respectfully submitted,
