Want Guardsmen Paid
For Their Services

Demands that there be no further
delay in the pay of National Guards
men for service at the mobilization
camp until they entered the federal
army and for payment of men re-
jected because of physical condition
are being heard throughout the State
and some have come to the State
Capitol
The State has over 100000 to its
credit in the emergency military ap-
preparation and the names of men re-
jected were all listed at Mt. Gretna be-
fore the last regiment left for Texas
The names of others are on company
rolls which have been arriving here
for some days.
No information has been given why
the pay has been delayed and why the
selection of disbursing officer is not
made. Adjutant General stewart is
still the disbursing officer for the Fed
eral government but steps for a
change have been under way for some
time. 1t is said that one suggestion
for disbursing officer was refused
and that the nomination of Jere NJ.
Leaman is pending. Meanwhile men
who were rejected and families of
men in the service are waiting for
money due them, but which is we'll
bound up with red tape.

on Exhibit in New Quarters

e. L. Cowden, distributor for the
Apperson "Roadaplane," the newest
model produced by Apperson Bros.
Automobile Co.. having recently pur-
chased the property located at los
, Market street. has made some vast i'm
provements in the appearance and con-
veniences of the rooms devoted to the
Apperson showrooms. A new front
has been added and the huge French
plate glass windows only serve to show
up the racy looking Jack Rabbits"
exhibited within.
In speaking of the simplicity of the
new "Roadaplare" which is now on
exhibit, r. ]. Church, general sales
man for the local branch, said: NO
matter how good any piece of ma
chinery may be, the more complicated
II is the more care 1t needs. The
giant moguls of the railroads go to the

after every trip. Tho ponderous for

and is willing to pay the price, all we'll

TO enjoy the utmost in motoring pleas

STATES POWER TO
TAX IS DEFINED
Important Opinion Given by
Deputy Attorney General
Kun on Obligations

Three questions of taxibility of OBJ
legations of domestic and private cor
porations in Pennsylvania are settled
in an opinion given to-day by Joseph
L. Kun, deputy attorney general to L.
Floyd Hess. assistant deputy auditor
general, who is in charge of certain
taxation matters. The decision will af-
feet numerous obligations.
1t is held that obligations issued
by private corporations to a resident
trustee for a nonresident person or cor
poration are taxable at the rate of four
mills on the dollar under the act of
1918, but that obligations issued by
private corporation to resident trus-
tee for a public charity are not tax
able, Mr.. Kun citing decisions in which
1t was held that mortgage held for
religious or charitable institution is
exempt from taxation and that the Leg
islature when 1t passed the taxation act
did not change the existing policy. The
opinion also decides that obligations
issued by a domestic corporation to a
nonresident trustee for a resident of
Pennsylvania are not liable to State
taxation.

Four More Youngsters
Certain of a Week at
McCormick's Island

One weeks joyous camp life in the
city's tents on McCormick's Island
was assured to-day for four more
small folks who otherwise couldn't t
hope for such a treat.
Two more checks for 81 each were
given to the park department in re-
sponse to its recent appeal through
the Telegraph to generous people who
may want to send some tiny man or
woman to camp.
The cost of a weeks outing per
child is but 50. And that means every
thing that you can think of in the
way of good things to eat and plenty
of them, nice cool tent to sleep in
and all the fun on swimming, boat
ing and general outdoor program, that
McCormick's Island camp signifies.
The roll in answer to the appeal
through the Telegraph was started
yesterday by NJ S. Kelley who sent a
check to pay the board of two chill
dren. To-day's contributions included
Allen U. Spotz, an uptown decorator,
and G. NJ. Steinmetz. Tach sent a
check for 81.
'Send two kids to Mccormick S
Island for a week with my regards, /"

but we spent a day with friends in
Kansas. We never travelled after
nightfall. Some of the roads which we
came over were very rough, which also
pgevented very rapid travel In the
Blue Mountains in Oregon and be-
tween Bliss and Perry, Okla, we en-
countered deep mud. But in spite of
all handicaps our car was never stalled
once We frequently rendered aid to
other and bigger cars, but not once
did we have to have the favor re-
turned.

Ion of gasoline and 800 miles to the
quart of oil throughout the 2,445 miles
of the journey over all sorts of roads.

also served to delay us for few hours.
At one time two inches of hail and

The fact that the deputy hadn't
hesitated long enough to slip on his
bedroom slippers added a touch of
real excitement to the tale when the
hearers recalled the condition of
Hockersville street.
The further fact that Mr.. Erb was
clad breezily in pajamas only gave the
story an actual thrill. Modestly Mr..
Erb admitted some of the facts to-
day:
Sometime after midnight Mr.. Erb
was aroused by the sound of chickens
squawking in his coops; thieves had
been annoying the neighborhood a lot
letel yand at the first "squawk" the
county official was on his rect, trusty
shotgun in hand. Then he heard a
big truck rattle past. He ran down
the street in pursuit, firing his gun In
the air as he raced along. At the end
of, town he stopped the team. Quick
investigation showed that the vehicle
contained no chickens. The reply of
disguised driver was, according to
Mr.. Erb disconcerting:
"Whacha runnin' through town like
that for anyway. bo? Now don't stop
me no more. I'm driving supplies to
Gretna." And the dray load of mate
rials for the troop camp rumpled along
on its way.

The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1916-05-27

The following are some forceful and
helpful scripture lessons which l
would be pleased to have my many
friends read while thinking of me:
Psalms 81: 1-2-9-17-24-37.-Rev. Sister
Pearl.
Did you give her a lift? She is a
sister Of man and bearing about all
the burden she can. Did you give her
a smile? She was downcast and blue,
and a smile would have helped her to
battle it through.
Did you give her a hand? She
was slipping down hill and the world
so fancied was using her i'll. Did you
give her a word? Did you show her
the road? Or did you just let her go
on with her load?
Do you know what it means to be
losing the fight, when a lift in time
might set everything right? Do you
know what it means just a clasp of a
hand, when a woman's borne about all
a woman ought to stand?
Do you ask what it was, why the
quivering lips, why the half suppressed
sob and the scalding tears drip, were
you sister of her when the time came
of need? Do you offer to help her OF
didn't you heed?
