Who Perkins Is.

George w. Perkins, represen-
tative Of the trusts that are f.
nancing the Roosevelt campaign,
says he is supporting the third
term candidate because he has
children. Mr.. Perkins is a very
busy man. Besides looking after
his own millions, he is an active
director in at least fifteen differ
ent trusts and large corporations
that in their turn control other
big business concerns. Mr.. Per-
kins is in the prime of his life
and usefulness and therefore he
cannot be considered as having
retired. But he seems to be de-
voting practically all of his time
to the Roosevelt campaign. He
is the imperial keeper Of the
dough bag, the chief signer of
checks and the financial adviser.

FOR STATEWIDE PROHIBITION
AGAINST STATE. WIDE PROHIBITION

1t is not conceivable that Mr.,
Perkins could ALLEVIATE himself
from the important duties con-
nected with his management of
the big corporations unless the
big corporations approved of his
new work. Here are some of the
trusts and corporations with
which Mr.. Perkins is officially
connected:
Director of the United States Steel
corporation.
Chairman of finance committee and
director of International Harvester
Co. ...
Director of Astor Trust Co.
Director of Bankers Trust Co.
Director of Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton Railroad Company.
Director Cincinnati, New Orleans &
Texas Pacific Railway Co.
Director Erie Railroad Co.
Director German-American Insur-
ance Co.
Director German Alliance Insurance
Eastern Colorado times., 1912-10-11

Co.
Director International Mercantile
Marine Co.
Director Marquette & Bessemer
Dock and Navigation Co.
Director National City Bank of New
York.
Trustee of New York Trust Co.
Director Northern Pacific R'y Co.
Chairman of board, Pere Marquette
Railroad Co.
1t has been charged and not
specifically denied that Mr.. Per-
kins is now acting as the person.
al representative of some if not
all of these trust interests in
backing Roosevelt's campaign.
1t must be a most important as
signment or else he could not
spare the time from his business
duties. 1t is a fair presumption
that Mr.. Perkins is not only
working with the full consent of
the companies in which he is a
director, but that he is carrying
out their wishes in political way.

for common schools that this county
was paying but ) cents.
lie praised the court for its appro-
priationS for pike roads: for it 5 bridge

what they were doing for education.
He stated that he knew that there
were hundreds of bright boys and girls
roaming about these mountains who

Friday was the shortest day of the
year, day later this year than ordin-
arily. The shortest day in the year is
the day when the sun is farthest South
from the equator, and Friday instead
OF Thursday, the sun was farthest
South of the equator. Every four
years, everybody ought to know. there
are 366 days in the year instead of 800
or, to be exact, 365,2i22 days, in the
year. On March q we shall have, an
equal day and night and that will be
the Vernal Equinox. Ou June q the
Jun will get fsrthcsl North Of the

EXPENSE DOWN
TO Low FIGURE
Year of 1911 Smallest in History
When Current Expenses Are
But Only $4,000.

According 10 the re'aort Of the Reve-
nue. committee submitted 10 the county
court the current expenses for the
county for the year Of 1911 were the
smallest in the history Of the couit.
and it was shown that they were So
500 less than the average of the ten
years before the revenue commission
was named.
The report Of the Revenue Commit
tee is as follows:
ave have examined the settlements
of the various County offices, and have
corrected errors in the same making a
net gain to the County OF $l65.65.
''During the year.19l1, the Chairman
issued County Warrants in payment
Of the current expenses of the County,
in the sum Of S9,O00.l9, and the Trus-
tee paid during the same period, C0un.
tv Warrants in the sum of So, ,260.9o-
We have this date outstanding unpaid
warrants amounting to S505.6S, and the
Trustee and County Court Clerk had
on hand on last Saturday enough old
County funds 10 opay all outstanding
warrants and leaving a surplus of
about 5000. So far as we are able to
ascertain, this is the fist time in the
history of tn, County that it has been
able to pay all its current expenses in
cash, and have surplus to commence
the new year. For more than ten years
prior to 1907, the current expenses of
the County had averaged about $751;
10000. Since 1907, the expenses have
been gradually reduced, until this year
note they are only $4,000, ,l0,-a reduc-
tion of S6,UOo.0O from theexpenses of
former years. This result should be
gratifying to the Taxpayers, OF h c
County, and it remains with this Court
to carefully guard the 1propriations.
We have always insisted that the cnt-
rent expenses of the County could be
paid with S90OO.OJ or less. and this
years result demonstrates that it can
be done.r Es
