Appropriation Ask.

The appropriation just made by
the Congress of the United States
for IA Government exhibit at the
International Dry-Farming Con
gres and the International Soil
Products Exposition, Denver, Sep
TENDER u to October 9, 1918, is
the most complete recognition ever
given by the government to pub
lie welfare movement.
In the beginning, it should be
understood clearly that this fed
eral appropriation does not come
direct to the Congress, which does
not have the handling Of one cent
Of it, nor its disposition III any
way.
What does constitute the rccog-
milton, however, is the fact that
The government understands and
comedies the prestige and infu-
cncc of the international Dry
Farming Congress, the greatest az
ricultural organization in the
world. That is patent; and it is
gratifying.
The federal appropriation Is
turned over TO the United States
Department Of Agriculture, which
spends this sum, prepares the gov.
eminent display, and otherwise
takes care of the United States re
presentation. The International
Dry Farming Congress is of course
| in fullest touch with the govern.
Imcnt throughout these prclimin-
airy plans, and the closest harmony

action.

A Mileage Record for Texas

So determined is w. S. Dun
bar, of Fort Stockton Texas, to
hold the Ford mileage record,
that he has sent his report to the
Ford Motor company in the form
of a sworn affidavit. 1t is GER
tainly an astonishing record, too.
Mr.. Dunbar makes regular trips
in his Ford between Fort Stock
ton and Pecos City, a distance of
65 miles, and carries four pas
sengers. His Model T, purchas-
ed in 1909, is still in service. with
the same wheels, engine and
transmission and has the grand
mileage of $50, 900 miles.
In addition to that, Mr.. Dun
bar has repeatedly made the
round trip, of 100 miles, sworn
to in his affidavit, on 8! gallons
of gasoline or a mileage Of 81 II
miles per gallon. 1t isn't re-
markable, perhaps, that Mr.. Dun
bar should insist upon having
these extraordinary figures pre-
served in affidavit form.

Pay Up Week = Grand Idea.

The committee appointed by Gov
ernor Carlson on unemployment and
relief has offered one suggestion to
the various communities In the state
which should meet with good deal
of favor. especially among the busi-
ness men of Colorado.
They suggest tina, the week of
May ED to May 2Sth be declared a
Pay-up-Week in every city and town
of Colorado. During that week ev-
cry debtor will be asked to pay up as
much as possible of his current obli-
cations. The committee puts It this
way:
IF all over this state during the
week of May ED to May goth. the
men in every walk Of life who owe
money. were to walk into offices OF
their creditors and say: Here,
want to pay up part OF that old debt,
wave OF prosperity would swell up
in the state and spread out over the
country. The carrying out OF this
ay-up-Week plan by every CONNER
cial association would mean that alb
solute and complete abolition Of
hard times In Colorado"
Every business house In the city.
including the newspaper offices. has
large number of unpaid bills upon
It's books. In some instances those
who owe bills are not able to pay
but In many other cases. the debtors
are able to pay. but are slow or care
less, But nearly everybody owing
bills should pay at least n part OF
them. Therefore. II is to be hoped
that this Pay-up movement will be-
come very general In Colorado
Springs as we'll as In other sections
OF the state.
Bt II is absolutely certain that a
general purpose upon the part OF ev-
erybody to pay his debts. big and
little. either in whole or In part, dur
Ing the next thirty days, would have
wonderfully stimulating influence
upon business conditions throughout

Judge Gibbs Of the Bronx county court.
A confession obtained from Murray,

accident cases. The members Of the

generally have settled these cases out

OF which invariably went to the lawyers.
The alleged perjury in Mutray's case
concerned his testimony at coroner 8

pose OF senate leaders to bring the meas
ure to a vote on It's passage before ad-
1ournment That It will be passed, in
cluding the hteracy test, is assured. al
though the test provision is still open to
amendment.
Strong indications came from the
White House today thai President Will
son would veto the measure IL congress
submitted II to him in Its present form.
President Taft vetoed q similar meas
ure in 1913. because of the literacy test.
The senate passed the bill over the
veto, but In the house the motion to
repass the measure failed by few votes
to get the necessary two-thirds majority.
The Gresident does not believe the
literacy test is test of the quality OF
an immigrant.
Whether the president is to veto the
measure seems to make little difference
now to It's champions and there are
many now who predict that the bill can
be passed this time in both houses over

was not the slightest foundation for
such suggestion. as the note was not
originally intended for the press. II is
understood that Ambassador Page had
anticipated such mistaken Impressions
by assuring the British government In
formally that the United States was
thoroughly In earnest.
The note was phrased In a candid and
frank manner. he is understood to have
explained. particularly because Il was
not written with the idea OF publication,
As the synopsis leaked out, however,
the ambassador had been instructed tC
arrange for the publication OF the com
plete text TO satisfy the desire for more
information in both countries.
Incidentally the ambassador cabled thai
the British government had corrected
some English newspaper reports. which
spoke OF discourtesy In premature pub
lication. Mr.. Page reported that Lori
Haldane. IN charge OF the foreign office
was informed OF the purport OF tho com
munication before even the first intima
ton OF the contents OF the note was pub
