the Texas delegation in congress, who
by his vote aided in the resurrection
of this iniquitous bill.
II is ge1erally regarded as the
opening wedge in voting upon the
country a civil pension system and
what will prove to be the heaviest
civil pension list in the world II the
action taken by the house is to be-
come the policy of this and future con
crosses. The Penrose bill has been
hanging fire for the past four years
smothered in the civil service com
mittee OF the house.
II proposes the retirement at $50
per month OF postal employees, and
according to the statement Of Chair
man Moon OF the postoffice com
mittee II will pension at that rate
some 100000 or 100000 postal EN-
ployes. The reason for transferring
the bill to the Moon committee is a
simple one. The civil service com
mittee is opposed to the bill, while
a majority Of the postal committee
will vote to report the bill favorably
All OF the Texans in the house except
Davis registered their disapproval Of
the measure.

Status of Aswell's Old Settlers Bill.
A favorable report on the AS
well Old settlers bill was made
to the Senate this week by the
committee on public lands. This
bill provides for the relief of sew
eral hundred settlers who claim
lands along the Texas & Pacific
railroad. The bill was passed in
the House, and its favorable re-
port by the Senate committee
makes its final passage within a
short while almost an absolute
certainty. This bill has been
pending three or four years, and
Mr.. Aswell has had a hard fight,
meeting much opposition from
strong corporation interests,
which almost defeated the bill,
but he seems now to be within
the reach of success for a de-
serving bill.

Mr.. Lincecum offered the fol-

adoption and it being seconded
by Mr.. Roberts and placed be,
fore the house it was carried
unanimously:
RESOLUTION.
Whereas, at the mass meeting
held on July z. 1916. at Colfax,
La, we were unable to get an
expression from all of the school
districts with reference to their
preference in refnancing the
schools in those districts. and
Whereas, from the districts
heard from there seems to be a
diversity of opinion relative to
this question, and
Whereas, the financial state
ment published in last weeks
issue of The Colfax Chronicle
shows conclusively that it will be
out of the question for the schools
of some of the districts to run
but a short time only without
additional funds, the individual
district tax having expired in
nearly all of the school districts
last year, therefore be it
Resolved, That we. the school
board in regular session conven-
ed give the people in those dis
tricts an opportunity to present
their desires to the board on July
July %, 1916, at which time the
board will be in session at their
office in Colfax. La, for that pur-
pose. and to order elections in
any manner they think best and
to transact any other business to
come before the body.
On motion the board adjourned
to meet Saturday morning at IL
O'Clock, July %. 1916.
