MUCH DELAY CAUSED TO
CONFEDERATE PENSIONS
On Account OF the State Being
Unable TO Pay Checks
For Incoming.

Frankfort. Ky. June GA pro
vision in the Confederate pension
act that the Auditor shall issue the
warrants on the treasury for the re-
epective sum and the treasurer for
ward treasury checks TO the ad-
dress OF the pensioner" has given
rise to a problem which the audi
tor. treasurer and pension agent
have yet TO solve.
A total Of 5O4 pension claims has
been allowed. and 2.So0 are ready
TO be passed upon by the Pension
Board. II these claims are allowed
before the August pension day. ii
is estimated that the State treasury
will have to be prepared TO meet a
disbursement in August of 5000
GOO.
II is the belief of the pension de-
partment that these claims will
have to be paid in checks and not
in State warrants. If this theory
proves correct. the State not having
so much money in the treasury, II
is possible that it may be necessary
to postpone all payments Of pen
sion claims until the Legislature
meets and makes a special levy for
the purpose. II is estimated that a
levy Of two and one-half cents will
take care of the annual pension
disbursement.

Knowing your liberslity OF mind.
and generosity of views, economic
and political. which are at variance
with your own ideas, ! take this
method OF soliciting you to give a
small amount Of space in your most
excellent local paper to Socialism
and the news of our great labor
movement as this movement is vi
tailed and made militant by the
Socialist party and it's press.
The time has arrived for all men
and the press everywhere to treat
this movement with judicial fair
mess ana Intelligent consideration.
No longer will it suffice to dismiss
with a contemptuous sneer a world
wide working-class movement,
which affects all mankind.
There is now an urgent demand
by the great public for news and
information regarding Socialism |

would subs. ribe for The Herald If
it printed something atou: Social
ism.
At first Socialism was ridiculed
Soon, however, it was misrepresent-
ed. Now, none but the most ignor-
ant and prejudiced associate it with
anarchy or infidelity. or consider it
scheme to divide up the wealth
and property of the Nation, in order
to make all equal"
Socialism is indeed the quintes-
sence of democracy. in that it
stands for Industrial Democracy as
we'll as political democracy.
Shall We have the use of your
columns now and then for a "lee-
tle' Socialistic stuff?
Yours respectfully,

Editorial NOte-The Herald is
quite willing to print medium sized
articles or punches of news items.
in Behalf of the Socialist movement.
These articles, however, should not
exceed 500 or 600 words in length,

Il is a shame that the streets of
Hartford are allowed to remain in
such a dirty condition. The side
walks in some places are also in
wretched shape. For the past year
our little city has been frequented
by hundreds Of strangers, and the
towns untidy condition has been
matter of considerable comment.
Surely the towns financial stress is
not so great that 1t cannot afford
few dollars expense for the very
important purpose of cleaning up.

Committee Fixes $4,000 Minimum
Retaliation Provided For.

Washington, D. C.-Radical changes
in the income tax plan of the Under
wood tariff bill and alteration of the
administrative features of the meas
ure to overcome most of the objections
raised by foreign governments were
agreed on in tentative way Thursday
by the Democratic members of the
senate finance committee.
The income tax, under the new
plan, would apply to individual in
comes over $4,000, but would make i'm
portant exemptions for individuals,
municipalities, civic bodies and mu-
tual insurance companies, under GER
tain restrictions.
Changes in the administrative Sec
lions include a new provision giving
the President authority to increase
tariff duties against certain articles
coming from countries that discrimin-
ate against the United States.

in tariff on goods brought in American
ships, the anti-dumping clause and the
provision giving United States author

Atlanta, Ga. - An arraignment OF

that they form 1.-THE most widespread

message of Governor Brown, pre-
sented in the Georgia legislature.
Governor Browns criticism is made
in connection with his argument fol
the enactment of laws requiring com
pusory arbitration of differences be-
tween employees and employers.
1.-THE trend of the laws of the pres.
ent day is to suppress combinations OF
trusts in restraint of trade" says the
message, "yet while it is matter OF

most widespread and aggressively ex.
acting trust in America, politicians

1.-The labor unions, by combination
which they work through strikes anc
kindred methods, are aggressively
levying toll on all the other elements
Of our citizens. They have organized
trust and demand that all other peo-
pie buy labor at whatever price they
choose to put on it. Contemporaneous
ly, they are trying to force from EN-.
ployment all similar workmen who de
not join their orders"

STRONGER NAVY rs NEEDED
Dewey Says Present Inadequacy Is
Invitation to War.

Washington, D. G. - An adequate

adequacy is an invitation to war;" in
the opinion of Admiral Dewey, rank
ing naval officer of the United States.
ST believe it is the duty of each
generation to pay it's own insurance
and not to thrust its burdens on the
generations that come after; and the
insurance for peace is navy strong
enough to compete" says the admiral
in an article written for the Navy
Day program at Newport, R. l., July
.21.
eve ourselves through lack of fore
sight of our fathers and grandfathers
paid the penalty of our generation in
the loss of hundreds of thousands of
lives and our sons and grandsons have
been paying the costs of the billions
of dollars wasted and the hundreds of
millions in pensions for which they
were mortgaged; and they still con-
tinue to pay.
"We are paying today for the navy,
as an insurance which does not insure
us, roughly $3.50 per capita per an
mum. Besides what has already been
paid in lives and money, we are still
mortgaged by lack of foresight in our
fathers to the extent of the national
debt, and the additional $1.80 per
capita per annum that we are paying
in pensions.
sShall our lack of foresight con-
tinue this system of mortgaging the
coming generations, Tor shall we add
the relatively small sum needed to the
insufficient insurance we all pay to
make that insurance adequate?"

URGES NEW CURRENCY LAWS
PRESIDENT Tells Of Need to Estab-
Iish Credit Reform.

washington, d. CA fixed deter
mlnation to have currency legislation
passed at this session of congress was
accepted by the members Of the house
and senate as President Wilson's text
Tor the currency message, which he
personally presented to congress as
sembled in joint session in the house
chamber.
Both Democrats and Republicans
saw In the carefully-worded appeal of
the President an earnest conviction
tnat the money situation must be dealt
with before congress adjourns. Prep
aratlons were made to begin commit
tee work on the administration bill,
which soon will be introduced in the
house by Representative Carter Glass
and in the senate by Senator Owen.
From the rostrum of the house
chamber the President read the brief
message.
1T plainly is clear" he said, "that
1t is our duty to supply the next bank
ing and currency system the country
needs and that it will Immediately
need it more than ever.
I'VE must act now at whatever sac
rlfice to ourselves. 1t is a duty which
the circumstances forbid us to post

deepest convictions of public obliga-
ton did not impress it upon you with
solemn and urgent insistence."
The President defied the custom of
100 years for the second time by de-
llvering the message in person.
A joint committee led by Majority
Leader Underwood and Senator Kern
met the President and escorted him to
the clerks desk on the rostrum.
At both house and senate ends of
the capitol and among both Democrats
and Republicans the conviction was
deeply fixed that the Presidents ''sol-
emn and urgent insistence" on cur
rency legislation would result in i'm
mediate activity in the legislative
branches.
