Shall We Celebrate?

There has been 4 good deal OF
talk about town during the week as
whether Crested Butte should start
the ball rolling for a stirring old
Fourth of July celebration this year.
Why not? The day is virtually
turned over to this place this year.
Gunnison has its Cattlemcn's Day,
and people throughout the county
will undoubtedly be glad to join us
for the occasion.
Crested Butte is an ideal place for
a county celebration at that time of
the year when the lower valleys are
warn, dusty and sultry. Is fine
mountain air, high rugged peaks
and beautiful scenic effects are a
wonderful, ard delightful asset to n
day of hilarity like the Fourth Of
July. Quick action should be taken
so that outside people will plan to
come our way and make it Il grand
success.

Promising Claims
on Cement Creek


Martin MuiicI spent day first
of the week working his Sevcrin
claim on Cement creek, about two
miles above Rangers station. An
eighty-foot tunnel has been driven
on the property which at present
shows well defined fsure vein
carrying gold values, in general
formation of porphyry and lime.
a test will soon be made OF some
of the ore which, it is anticipated
will make a good showing. Two
miles further up the gulch is located
the Evelyn group of five claims
owned by McElroy and Mufich.
From the center of this group a
tunnel has been run n distance of
115 feet. At sixty feet an ore Vein
was tapped from which assays gave
as high as $50 ounces in silver
values. 1t is expected that this
vein, considerably augmented, will
soon be encountered again, as after
dipping, it now shows an upward
trend. 1t is the intention to de-
vclop these properties to consider
able degree during the season.

Crested Butte, Colorado, Thursday, May e. 1913.
"One-Sided" Ball

The result of the base ball gam,
at Gunnison last Sunday between
the Gunnison Reds and the Crested
Butte team was distinctly decided
disappointment to the local nine.
insofar as they feel that they did
not in any sense OF the word, get n
square deal, and received unusually
rough treatment at the hands of the
Gunnison fans. Especially are they
strong in their claims that many of
the decisions of Umpire Palmer
showed prcdjudice and were wholly
one-sided and unfair when it comes
down to good base ball.
The score by innings stood as
follows:
1 23 A 5 6 Z 8 Q
Gunnison 0 0 6 o a 20 -15
GRID Butte4 0 0 1 5 0 3 0 O-l3
This was the first oucside game OF
the season for Crested Butte, and
while the boys had been practicing
faithfully and were good even
break with the Reds, as the score
plainly shows, yet they would have
been prone to complain at defeat,
had they not felt that bad decisions
had unwontonly been meted out to
them. 1t does not seem just the right
thing, to the fair-minded, that
wishing team would he handled with
skin-tight gloves when the game
should be friendly affair.
Two weeks from next Sunday,
June Sth, the Gunnison Reds are to
play return game at this place,
and the home team are determined
that Justice and a good time shall
be shown the visitors in any event.

A number Of prizes were won by
Washington florists at the international
flower show which has Just come to an
end in New York. The flower shoy
this year was one OF the biggest ever
held. and the entry list was large,
making it difficult for an exhibitor to
carry of honors.
F. H. Kramer entered four exhibits
on roses in the show, annd for each he
Won prize.
The Queen Beatrice rose, in which
Mr.. Kramer takes special pride, carried
off tho first honors- In this exhibit
there were A great many entries both

States. but also by many foreign
houses
This is the seventh time Mr.. Kramer
has carried Off this prize

der his own supervision and care.

cessful, winning the second prize in

WILL SEEK TO PASS
SUNDRY CIVIL BILL
Effort to Put Through Measure
Vetoed by Taft Indicated at
the White House.

That an effort will be made to pass
the sundry civil bill in a form practical
ly Identical with that which President
Taft vetoed at the last session of Con-
gress, was indicated at the White
House today when Senator Martin OF
Virginia, chairman of the Senate Ap-
propriations Committee. and Represen-
tative Fitzgerald, chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee, held a con-
ference with President Wilson.
President Taft vetoed the sundry
civil bill, which was one of the last
Of the major supply bills to pass the
last session Of Congress. because 1t pro-
vided that no moneys appropriated
therein should be used either In the
investigation or prosecution of labor or
ganizations under the Sherman anti
trust law. He believed that this clause
was unconstitutional because 1t was TO
be regarded as "class legislation"
Senator Martin is in favor Of taking
up the sundry civil bill in both houses
Of Congress at the earliest possible
date, since many Of the departments are
seriously embarrassed through uncer-
tainty as to just what appropriations
will be available for the coming fiscal
year.
CONGRESSMAN Fitzgerald. it is be-
Iieved. takes the same position ana an
effort will be made to pass the bill be-
fore the tariff debate is in full swing.
President Wilson has not yet indicated
his position on the labor union clause,
which caused the Taft veto, but there
have been reports that he would take
the same attitude as his predecessor.
Some method will be devised of passing
the chief portions of the bill minus
this clause if he should oppose 1t. II is
stated.

Suggests System of Reform.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Your paper has rendered valuable as
sistance to the cause OF the Govern
ment clerk in times past when various
matters affecting his welfare have been
under discussion. At present II seems
TO me that there never was time when
you could give space to anything which
would be OF more value than to dis
cussion of the proposed extension or
the working hours of Government EN-
ployes.
Are the President and his Cabinet,
after only one month of experience in
the positions they hold, to be allowed to
extend the working hours of Govern
ment employees merely in order to be
able to stand before the country as hav-
ing accomplished a reform in the cause
of efficiency, and without any regard
whatever to whether or notLit is a just
burden to impose on the persons II af-
fects most?
IL the President and his Cabinet have
the efficiency of the civil service really
at heart and are not simply playing for
the gallery and attempting to boost
their own political stock, they can ac-
oonplish far more by pushing a pen
sion system Of whatever kind. and by a
reclassiication of the service which will
give adequate salaries to employees who
deserve them. and take away from in
efficient and superannuated employees
CT mpensation to which they are no
longer entitled, than by the proposed
extension of the hours of labor.
Under the conditions already existing,
one of the very few things in the civil
service which attracts an employe in
other lines is the fact that he need not
labor as long for the Government as for
a private corporation. Il is extremely
hard to get efficient and capable en-
plCyes TO enter the service row and the
extension Of time would render il far
more d.S~cult.
The Only justifiable reason for such
an extension would be that 1t would in
crease the efficiency OF the service II
II generally admitted that the Govern
mont employe is not overpaid. AS Gen
CRAY CCxey once said on a memorable
occasion: I'VE want more work and
more ray" If you extend the hours,
why not increase the salary accord
ingly?
Let use have less of this picayune poll
tics and more real consideration Of
something worth while. Very respect
fully, LEROY Z. KELLEY.

Means Tax on Salary.
Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The writer wishes TO direct your at
tention TO one aspect of the proposed
increase in the hours OF labor of the
civil service employees that. so far as
he knows. has never been presented in
argument.
Consider. for example. a man with an
income of sl.300. His hourly wage is
about 30 cents. One hour additional per
day for one year will be equivalent TO
$50. That is. this man will pay a tax
amounting to 12z per cent of his in
come
That this, in the light or the recently
enacted income tax schedule, is an eX-
orbitant tax will be evident 10 anyone
who will give the matter even casual
thought. The writer, therefore. respect
fully Urges, as far as he may be per-
mitted TO do, that Your paper present
this point of view TO the public. In order
that the consideration Of this question
NAV be upon the broadest possible
founda ton. FEDERAL EMPLOYE.

CHANCE IS SLIGHT
FOR RLONGER DAY
Cabinet Members Do Not Be-
Iieve Early Action Will Be
Taken on Proposed Plan.

Government clerks are not likely to
be called upon to put in a full eight
hour workday in the immediate future.
A canvass of a number of Cabinet
members by The Times today indicates
that no positive action is to be taken
on the proposal at present
Several of President Wilson's advis-
ers said that they saw no prospect of
immediate action, but in general they
were not disposed to commit themselves
If the issue is drawn.
Secretary of Commerce Redfiild epito-
mized the general sentiment among
ma jirity of the Cabinet members, when
he said: The issue has not yet been
drawn upon this proposal, and do not
anticipate decisive action, or further
consideration of the subject at this
time. Consequently i do not care to
discuss it" Mr. Redfield would not
commit himself on a hypothetical ques-
ton as to whether he would favor or
oppose the move if the issue is drawn.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo is
out of town today. Before leaving, he
said: 81 have not given full considera-
ton to the question. and do not wish
to discuss it now
Secretary of the Interior Lane said:
Longer hours is not yet an issue for
immediate decision. / do not antici-
pate consideration of it,
Secretary of the Navy Daniels indi-
Gated his position with respect to
longer hours by a humorous Quip. He
said that he would not relish an
earlier hour. and did not believe in
having the clerks report before their
chief was at his desk.
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
declined discussion of the question
and did not wish to be quoted.
Secretary of Labor Wilson, also did
not wish to be quoted, or to discuss
the question He said he was not at
liberty to do SO.

track for the race This track II to b
over about mile and half Of ground
within the fort grounds. Many jumps
will mark the course. The riders will
start with guide who will lead them
to the end of the course and then start
them on the race back.
This race and the high jumping con-
tests will be the principal thrills Of the
show. II IL probable that many owners
and riders from Warrenton and the
horse country" Of Virginia. who antici-
pate coming to Washington to show
and ride in the National Capital Horse
Show, will take advantage Of the fact
that the Fort Myer exhibition II only a
few days ahead Of the other show and
attend the military affair FIRST with
numerous high class horses.
