Nelson, who spoke eloquently and
avowedly as a representative of the

action was also taken In the face Of
a protest by Senator McCumber Of
North Dakota. chairman OF the senate
pension committee, who declared that
to vote a pension of $50 a month to
Schley's widow would be an injustice
to the many widows Of officers Of the
army and navy to whom the uniform
sum Of $50 a month had invariably
been voted by congress. Attention
called to the fact hat the widow
Of General Joseph II. Hawley Of Con.
necticut, who was for many years a
senator of the United States. had been
denied a pension Of $50 a month.
The senate rejected the policy Of
the committee on pensions. and by a

FERNINsT TUNNEL BILL.
Arkansas Valley Commercial Asso-
ciation Adopts Resolutions.

At meeting of representative cit
iZens from northern, eastern, western
and southern Colorado, in attendance
at the Arkansas Valley Comemrcial
Association, which met in Pueblo on
Monday, October 2Ist, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the so-called Moffat
Tunnel Bill is thoroughly vicious and
should be defeated for the following
reasons:
/. 1t is the belief of lawyers gem
orally that it is unconstitutional as
being an impertinent effort to lend
the states credit to private enterprise.
2. 1t has been suggested by Mr..
Erb that the state will be Unidentified
from loss on account of this issue,
but it is of course obvious that if Mr..
Erb and his associates whoever they
may be can adequately secure the
state from loss that then they can al
SO securep rivatep urchase for their
securities SO that state aid will not
be needed.
3. That it would establish an ex-
ceedingly dangerous precedent and
inevitably result in frequent demands
upon the state to lend its credit to
all manner of private enterprise.
4. Under our constitution the state
is only permitted to levy four CD
mills for state purposes and the sum
derived from this levy has frequently
been found inadequate for govern
mental purposes. If therefore the
state is called upon to pay interest
on these bonds, to say nothing OF
principal. the state revenues will be
depleted in that amount to the in
jury of our universities, penal. charit-
able, and all other state institutions,
all of which are now in great need of
extensive improvements and better
ments.
:. 1t has been repeatedly asserted
by competent authorities and is gen
orally understood by well informed
people in the state that $4,000 10000
will do but one-third of the work
necessary to drive this tunnel and this
will necessarily lead to further at
tempt to secure SS.ooo,ooo.oo in the
future or lose what we have already
put in it.
We therefore advise every voter in
the state to vote against this bill.

Of the employees salaries without any
incidental fund with which to conduct
their office. This is true OF the state

immigration board. This left the en-
poyes in these offices free to work for
the election of Mr.. Shafroth to the United
