State Aid From inheritance
and Income Tax Funds.

plan for the creation of old-age pen
sions was formally launched by the Gin

mates of any public institution or re-
cipients of other state or governmental

The maximum amount to be paid any

$50 and the second SIS a month.
1t is proposed to have the governor ap-
who shall have general supervision of

without compensation. The actual de-
to be vested in Probate Courts. Taxes

OPPOSE "NO STRIKE" LAW.

Denver, Colo.-In an address to the
local Trades Assembly on Colorado's
law, which prohibits strike until thirty
days notice is given State Commits
sion, A. +. of l.. Representative Grant
Hamilton said:
And what was the sinister influence
that put this law upon the statute books ?
Exactly the same influence that brought
Mackenzie king-the gentleman respon-
sible for the adoption in Canada of the
Lemieux Act-the manager of the
Rockefeller interests, to this State.
"This great concern on the part OF
those who do not belong to the labor
movement is due to the fact that they
are thoroughly conversant with and un-
derstand full well the value that lies in
the right to strike.
81 understand there are some who say
there may be some good features in this
law. | have not yet found single in
dividual who can point out one good
feature-not one Destroy the objection
able features, and you destroy the law
The idea behind it all is that the labor
movement shall delegate its rights to a
commission, and that commission shall
dispense them at will"

ager Declares.

Columbus, Ohio.-In statement given
out tonight the claim is made by w. E.
HALEY, manager of the senatorial cam
paign of Harry M. Daugherty that Her
rick Voters Leagues are dissolving.
HALEY said "The disclosure one week
ago of the plan of organization of the
Herrick Voters League Clubs has led
to rapid disintegraton of these paper
organizations in many parts of the
state.
Dozens of letters and statements
have been received from Republicans to
the effect that their names have been
used as members of such clubs without
their consent. Perhaps the most fragrant
case of misrepresentation which devel-
oped during the week was that in Picka-
way County, where the name of dead
man had been printed on the stationery
of the Herrick Voters League Club in
that county. This man, H. T. Cody,
has been dead for five years."

"NO STRIKE" LAW ILLEGAL?

Colorado Springs, Colo,-At the con
vention of the Colorado Bar Association
+. J. Costigan, attorney for the United
Mine Workers Union, expressed the
opinion that the mo strike" law OF this
State would not be sustained in the
courts.
The law makes it illegal for workers
to strike until they have filed thirty
days notice with the State Industrial
Commission, The speaker declared that
the penalties inflicted on strikers for a
violation of this thirty days clause was
a violation OF personal liberty and
created an involuntary servitude that no
court would recognize. TO show how
the law can be used to keep men at work,
he referred to Leadville smelter men
who suspended work recently without
complying with the law and Governor
Carlson's threat to call out the militia
and have them arrested.

POSTAL SAVINGS GROW
Total Deposits Now Are Nearing
S1OO,OOO,OOO Mark.

The results of Postmaster General
Burlesons administration of the Postal
Savings System have been phenomenal.
Under his guidance the number of de
positors has increased from 100000 at
the beginning of March, 1913. to SOB 900
at the end of June. 1916. while the
amount deposited has increased during
the same period from $3O,0OO,OOO to
SS6,000,000 The gain of nearly 80 per
cent in the per capita deposit is con-
vncing evidence of the prosperity of the
working people of this country. who
are the principal patrons of the postal
savings banks
Notwithstanding the large increase in
deposits the clerical force for handling
the affairs OF the system at the central
office in Washington, through the in
stallation of better business methods,
has been reduced by one-third. More
over, the system as whole has been
brought to a self-sustaining basis and
for the past three years has yielded a
substantial profit.
Postmaster General Burleson also
urged upon congress the necessity of
removing the hnderng restrictions i'm
posed by the original postal savings act
may be accepted from postal savings
depositor. In response to his recon-
mendation an act was passed and re-
ceived the approval of President Wilson
on May IS, 1916. which enables any
person to deposit any number of dollars,
and at any time, until the balance to his
or her credit amounts to $1,000, eXclu-
sive of accumulated interest. By. the
of ha t,n1 tn1 ,,,t
no one could deposit more than 500 in
any one calendar month, nor have bal
ance to his credit in excess of $500, ex-
elusive of accumulated interest. AS a
result of these restrictions it has been
estimated that as much money was re-
fused at the post offices as was accepted
The removal of the hindering restric-
tions has been followed by an immediate
ings deposits, which will ultimate in re-
storing a large part of the hidden money
of the country to the active channels of
industry and commerce.
The confidence of the foreign-born
residents of the United States in Amer
ican institutions is well exempliied by
a recent poll of postal savings deposi-
tors. Those born outside of the United
States were IOullu 10 constitute 03 pei
cent of the total number of depositors
and to own 72 per cent of the tota
postal savings deposits. Many of these
people formerly were patrons of the
postal savings system maintained by
the countries from whence they came
The transfer of their place of deposit
to the postal savings banks of this coun-
try expresses in no uncertain manner
their confidence in the system and in
its management.
