Looking to the interest Of the
working men in Tennessee, Repre-
sentative E. 9. Norvell of Grundy
county has secured the passage
in the lower house of a bill Civ
ing to employees semi-monthly
pay days. This bill applies to
firms, corporations and indivi-
duals and will prove a great
benefit to the workingman who
has to pay cash for practically
everything he buys.
In discussing the bill, Repre-
sentative Norvell stated that it
would prove a great benefit to
the people of his district, many
of whom are miners, and who
are forced to trade at commits
saries or use scrip to carry them
through the month and their
scrip is not taken-for face value.
The bill makes 1t compulsory on
the employers to pay. twice q
month and will remove to a large
extent the necessity Of the use
of scrip. Mr.. Norvell has been
untiring in his efforts for this
bill, and as it has reached the
senate, he is confident of passage
in that body.
In the senate Senator Albert
E. Hill introduced the bill and
it is set for special order Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock, and it is
thought that little or no oppo-
sition will be encountered in
that body.-Nashvllle Tennes-

Good Work
Accomplished
By Our Representative E. c. Nor
vellin the Legislature. Import
ant Bills introduced.

Tracy City is justly proud of
the work of our Floater in the
Legislature. Mr.. Norvell was
elected on the Republican ticket
but he went there as a repre-
sentative of all the people who
elected him.
He is deservedly popular with
all his co-workers in the legis-
lature and more good work may
be looked for through his efforts. !.
We reproduce two articles ap-
pearing in the Chattanooga News
and Tennessean giving an ac-
count of some of his work.

bill, as reported by the joint
committee considering it during
recess, will never pass the house,
in the opinion of seasoned OBJ
servers. 1t will not get five
votes one of them declared. But
some form of a fee bill is pretty
sure to pass.
Representative Norvell, who
lives at Tracy City, in East Ten
nessee, is responsible for a bill
Introduced Wednesday which is
causing a great deal Of favorable
comment. 1t is to put all coun-
ty officials in counties of over
$4,000 population Oh part sal
ary and part fee basis. The sal
airy is to be $4,000 per year; of
all amounts received over this,
the state and county get two
thirds, the official the other third

deputies.
This bill will eliminate the
question of political deputies,
which has been vexing many of
the representatives, according to
it's sponsors. Representative
Louthen incorporated it in his
bill, on the suggestion of the
Tracy City man. Members of
the lower house are understood
to take agreeably to it. Repre-

Drilling Eor Oil In
Eastern Colorado.

In Eastern Colorado the reports
have anywhere from one to half
a dozen rigs merrily at work and
in all stages of well development
from the "spudding in" process
to actual flows OF oil and gas.
1t is likely, however, that outside
of the rig al Aurora. which is
working twelve hours a day at a
depth of between 3. $40 and $3.50
feet, the other exploration under
takings are either the planning
or at depths which as yet do not
warrant any degree of breathless
expec.atatiop.
As to the Eastern Colorado re-
gion as a whole. there are plenty
of events to arouse interest and
even anticipation. From the

ton to the fly and it's relation to
disease. The very hot weather
that we have been having has
promoted a very rapid breeding
of them. and they are much more
numerous than is usually the case
The fly is so constructed that he
is an admirable carrier of disease
germs, and he breeds in filth and
makes frequent excursions from
filthy places and perches on our
food. He is the most dangerous
insect knwn to the human race,
and probably kills more people
in the world during the summer
months than is killed by the com
bined armies of the world. in the
same length of time.
Now the best way to combat
this army of millions is to destroy
breeding places, keep food away
from them as much as possible
and keep all human food in such
a way that Mr.. Fly cannot get
his dirty germ laden feet on it.
The fly in his process of develop
ment is first in the larval stage.
At this time we call him magot

filth. Manure piles are among
the best b. eeding places, as is
the unsanitary closet that is pat

various kinds serve a similar pur
pose. Knowing these things to
be true, let US all begin battle

Washington Letter
BY Edward Keating

Washington appreciates what
Colorado has done. and is doing.
to assist Uncle Sam to adjust his
armor for the great world con-
flict in which he has become in
volyed. Much was expected from
the Centennial state, but it has
surpassed expectations. Colorado
has made good!"
All this was made very clear
during the last week when high
officials. from President Wilson
down, received the delegation
sent to the Capital by Governor
Gunter to adjust many matters
of great Importance. The en-
bassy was made up of j. K. Null
len, W. G. Evans. and Clint c.
Houston of Denver, Alva 3.
Adams, of Pueblo and Judge
Harry Gamble of Boulder. all bnsi
ness and professional men of rec
ognized standing.
The chief object of the visit
was to secure more team work
between state and nation and
many causes of misunderstand-
ing were removed.
COLORADO'S COMPLAINT.
There has been feeling in
Colorado that the state was be-
ing Overlooked. We did not
secure an army cantonment and
the National Guard camp went to
New Mexico. Eastern manufac-
rturers havv been getting away
with the big army and navy con-
tracts while Colorapo establish
ments were threatened with slack
business. There were other COM
plants, some of recent origin and
some of long standing. Govern
or Gunter wisely decided that it
would he well to thrash out all
these matters and endeavor to
make a new and better start.
It is surprising how complaints
will evaporate when carefully ex-
aminrd.
Take the case Of the army cam
stonment. 1t developed that long
before war was declared Co]ora-
do had been made a part OF the
Central Military division and when
the Commander Of the division
began forming districts for the
purpose of establishing training
camps he put Colorado. Kansas
and Missouri in one district. In
.stanuy all three states began
fighting for the camp. Missouri
has a powerful delegation in Con
Rress, headed by Speaker Clark.
and it put up great contest.
Colorado's representatives urged
its claims and of course the KAns-
9ans were active.
COLORADO SPRINGS CLOSE
UP.
Kansas won, because Fort Riley
is almost the exact center of the
distric. and the government owns
thousands of acres there with
substantial buildings. Secretary
of War Baker says Colorado
Snrinxs were second choice. So
we beat Missouri, anyhow. ard
that was some achievement.
But, why didn't Colorado get a
Nation,l Guard camp? Well, the
experts of the War department
have decided that all National
guard camps should be located In
.'hot beIt", the Southern part OF
the country. This in order that
the hss may be trained i'll the
opcn air all winter. Colorado has
been treated exactly like every
other Northern and Western
state, aud during times like these
we cannot afford to ask for nloce
than Uat. +-r
