OLD SOLDIERS PRACTICE
DOCTRINE or REClPRoctTN

Hot Springs, s.. d., Jan. 8.-FTgures
from washington show the remarkable
fact that the business or the local pos
tai savings bank, although in a city OF
less than 5000 population, amounts to
Cne-fourth OF the total amount of the
postal savings business in the entire
state, None OF the larger cities OF the
state do q business that approaches this
office.
The reason for this condition is that
the old soldiers believe I'm reciprocity.
This being the location OF thu State
Soldiers home, rs well as the govern
nnent's big sanatoriunn, which cares for
about 435 veterans, about 700 old SOL
diers receive pension checks here ev-
cry quarter. Since the establishment
Of the postal savings bank a large per
cent OF these have made use of 1t. Civ
ing as their reason that as their money
comes from the government, 1t is oRly
fair that they let the government AXE
care OF 1t for them. The first year OF
its operation the postal savings bank
at this office showed total deposits
aggregating more than 10000. In
spite OF this the local banks show i'm
creased deposits the past year.
AS veterans at the national sana-
forum are admitted only for treat
ment they are most all transient, and
the postal savings bank meets their
requirements as they can draw their
money readily at any time. Before
postal savings became a factor 1t was
the custom OF many OF the patients to
hand their funds into the care of the
governor of the ~sanatorium, and he hau
in his custody sums varying from Sc. GOO
to $4,000. This money now all goes
TO the postal savings.

WIDOW ASKS EXPENSE MONEY
Files Claim After Nearly Thirty
Years in Contested Election Case,

Expense money for d contested cleo
ton case nearly thirty years old Is
asked for from the House committee
on appropriations in a bill introduced
by Representative Ferguson of New
Mexico. The widow of Tranquilio Luna,
whose seat in the Forty eighth Con-
sress was successfully contested by
Francisco A Manzares. is made the
proposed beneficiary under the BILL
which asks for authority to draw
$4,000. the regular expense sum al
lotted by the rules Of the House in all
contested seat cases.
Iranqu1l1o Luna was a delegate from
the territory of New Mexico. He pre-
scented his credentials March 4. 1888,
and served until March 5. 1854. Man
zares, a democrat. brought contest
and Luna eventually resigned. No
claim for expense money was made at
the time. 1t is usually the case that
old claims of this kind are referred
to the committee on claims.
Very few election. contest claims as
old as this one have been filed. One OF
the oldest seen before the Luna claim
was that of the estate of man named
Lee. a colored republican from
southern state, who contested the seat
of representative named Richard
son. more than thirty years ago. The
House was republican and the report
of the elections committee favored the
co!ored man.. The case attracted wide
attention at the time, and came near
to Seatin. Lee. The democrats of the
House finally STAYED off majority
vote.
