WYE now heard he whiz-z-:
NV that those who have one
heard can never forget
The shell was coming
straight toward US. We fell fiat, il
the twinkling of an eye, our noses tt
the ground. Happy he who finds
drain or ditch at such moment! Yet
we had time to ask ourselves whether
it would pass over, or catch US in this
ridiculous position; and | saw the
past and the future.
We got up muddy and peevish. A
faint smell of dynamite filled the air
We passed through the gateway. The
yard, surrounded on three sides by the
farmhouse and servants quarters
was quiet and trim. Through the
open shed doors we could see cows
peaceably Eliminating. But a horri-
bly, thin dog was barking grievously
as he turned round and round some
thing on the sofia great red patch
of clotted blood. The poor beast
bayed without cessation, in lament
able appeal to his master, who had
fallen there.
We entered the kitchen and three
ground floor rooms are full OF wound
ed-French and German uniforms
pell NELL; few officers. Six unwound-
ed German soldiers, three carrying
the Red Cross armlet, are taking care
of both-we must say it to their hon
or-with equal solicitude. There are
also a French doctor and nurses.
Many of the unfortunates, lying on
the blood marked straw, had horrible
wounds. The farm had seemed to them
last refuge; and they had dragged
themselves as best they could to what
for many of them would be only a
tomb. A soldier asks for
a drink; as he rises, with hand
stretched out for the glass of water,
a bullet comes through the window
and strikes him full in the heart.
The poor fellow sinks without sigh.
Most of the wounded are taken
away in lull of the combat. Doc
tors A. and T. remain with the last
of them, and with the Germans, who
help them with real courage. 1t is
8 o'clock in the afternoon. Firing
recommences, more violent than ever.
The shells whistle ceaselessly. An
adiutant, terribly wounded, begs to
be put into the cart, which seems
to him a guarantee that he will be
among the next to be removed
Scarcely is he laid there than shrap-
mel bursts over the cart, killing him.
The firing sounds more clearly. l
watch the doctors, Indifferent to the
approaching danger, tending the
wounded. Most of the living rooms
of the farm are now in ruins. In the

The following is the new Home
stead law that has just been
signed by the President and is
the law now. 1t gives a man
who has lost a claim in any man
ner the right to file again the
same as if he had never filed be-
fore, and will be a benefit to a
great many people. This IS how
it reads and it is due to the ef-
forts of Edward Taylor, one of
our Democratic Congressman.
THAT any person duly quail
fed to make entry or entries of
public lands under the homestead
or desert land laws, who has
heretofore made or may hereaf-
make entry under said laws. and
who, through no fault of his own
may have lost, forfeited, or aban-
doned the same, or who may
hereafter lose, forfeit. or aban-
don the same, shall be entitled
to the benefits of the homestead
or desert land laws as though
such former entry or entries had
nsver been made: Provided,
That such applicant shall show to
the satisfaction of the Secretary
of the Interior that the prior en-
try or entries were made in good
faith, were lost, forfeited, or
abandoned because of matters
beyond his control, and that he
has not speculated in his right,
nor committed a fraud or attemp-
ted fraud in connection with
such prior entry or entries.'

Colorado citizens at the coming
election will be- asked to vote up
on the question of continuing the
work of building better roads
throughout the state. This ques-
ton will be submitted in the
form of bill to increase the
state road fund by an annual
levy of one-half mill.
After January l, 1915 the state
road fund, i. e. the fund which
the state has at it's disposal to d.
vide among the counties as aid to
them in the construction of state
roads will amount to less than
$15O,O00. Divided among sixty
one counties it will be quickly
recognized that this amount is
too little to meet the demands for
improved roads in Colorado. The
proposed half mill levy will bring
into the road fund a sum little
in excess of $500, 900. With such
a fund as this every prohibitive
grade and every bad stretch of
road in the entire 4, 500 miles of
state highways can be eliminated
within four wears,
The half mill levy asked is a
very small burden on the tax
payers Of the state, and accord
ing to the present plans the mon
ey raised in each county will be
spent in that county on its state
roads, and each county in the
state will therefore benefit di-
rectly by the money raised with
| in it's borders for this purpose.

Cheyenne record., 1914-09-17
Washington Letter,
BY Edward Keating,
Congressman. at-Large
From Colorado.

President Wilson has asked
Congress to enact emergency
revenue legislation which will
net the national treasury about
$1OO, 900, 900 per year.
Some newspapers have refer
red to this as an increased tax to
meet the extraordinary expenses
necessitated by the war in Eu-
rope. This is AN error.
Congress has not been asked to
increase the tax burden of the
people of the country but mere
ly to change, in a slight degree
and for a limited time, the sour
ces from which Uncle Sam will
draw lis revenues. In u word
we will take a little more out of
one pocket but not as much as
usual out of another.
It costs the people more than
billion dollars a year to support
this government. That vast sum
is produced by four forms of tax
ation-Internal revenue on whis-
key. beer, wine, ETC., an income
tax, the postal receipt and a tar
iff. Every penny is contributed,
directly or indirectly. by the cit
izens of this nation. Sometimes
we overlook that important fact
and permit ourselves to imagine
that money grows on the trees
for Uncle Sam. It doesn't.
WEAKNESS OF THE TARIFF
The war in Europe has been a
severe strain on our fiscal sys-
TEN but we would have weather.
ed the storm if it had not been
for the tariff. And that points a
most instructive moral.
A revenue system based on a
tariff placed the United States
Treasury at the mercy of Europe.
If the people across the sea, for
any reason, fail to ship US their
products we are deprived of the
money needed to conduct our
government.
That's exactly what has hap
pened within the1ast few weeks.
The war has paralyzed the indus
tries of Europe. We are ship
ping our wheat and corn and cot
ton across the water but very lit.
tie freight is coming back. So
the collections at the custom
houses are falling off at the rate
of millions month.
The American people, there
fore, will not be called on to pay
the usual tax on what they inn
port fr.m Europe.
In the meantime. the expense
of the government must be met.
1t has been increased in some d.
rections by the war but this in
crease will be more than offset by
certain economies planned by the
administration. The rivers and
harbors appropriation will be the
first to feel the ak. But these
economies will not be suffici, mt
to make up the loss in decreased
tariff receipts.
THE NEW TAXES
If present plans do not miscar-
ry three items will be required
to produce the $1,000, 100000 ask
ed by the president.
The tax on beer will be advan-
ced SO cents barrel, wine will
be assessed 20 cents additional
on the gallon, and freight bills
will be taxed three per cent.
The tax on freight bills is a
nou, donarture and while IL is
Cheyenne record., 1914-09-17

1T Will prove oppressive to any
one. The tax on a $40, 600
freight bill would be only $500
and on $40 freight bill only 80
cents.
During the Spanish-American
war the Republicans levied a
great number of special taxes.
Every legal paper required a
stamp, and the entire system
proved expensive and annoying.
How long it will be necessary
to collect this emergency revenue
is. of course, entirely dependent
upon developments in Europe.
TREASURY IN GOOD SHAPE.
The United States was never
in better financial condition.
There is a handsome surplus in
the treasury-possibIy a sufficient
amount to carry us through this
period of stress without the pro-
posed additional revenue. But
President Wilson is conservative
statesman when he is dealing
with issues which involve the
happiness and prosperity of the
nation.
He insists that our financial in
tegrity must be so secure that it
will be above suspicion. The
president does not believe in bor-
rowing at such a time. Almost
every European nation is clamor-
ing for admission to the money
market just now and the United
States cannot afford to engage
in the scramble. We pay as we
go.
One lesson taught by this war
should not be lost on us-we are
a part of the world-not the
whole thing-just a part. We
need Germany, England, France
and Russia quite as bad as they
need US.
For fifty years certain states
men have been telling us that we
should build a Chinese wall
around our country and thus
exclude the. products Of cheap
foreign labor" We were assur-
ed that this was the way to make
Americans happy and prosperous
The European war has remov-
ed the foreigner from our MAJ
kets but are we happy and pros
porous?
Quite the contrary. Our peo-
pie are clamoring for the con-
struction of an American mer-
chant marine so we may reach
the foreigner with our products
and we may receive the things
he produces.
How silly the tariff arguments
sound, now that we have had
chance to put them to the test?
A REAL WORLD POWER
The United States is not a
"pent-up Utica where the people
raise themselves to aff1uence by
pulling on the straps of their
own boots. Politically and COM
mercially our country is world
power and it is prepared to meet
it's rivals in fair and open contest
for control of the markets of the
world.
This great trade campaign is
being vigorously pressed by the
national administration. First
we must have merchant ma
rine.
