Red Cross Campaign.
Another war subject brought up
was the Christmas week campaign for
Red Cross members, which was en-
dorscd by the Assembly. Edward ]
Hines of the Typographical Union.
was appointed by President II. S.
Percgrine to represent the Assembly
in this campaign.
Delegate Ed Anderson of the Barb
ers Union called attention to the re-
port that the State War Council was
proposing to employ convict prison
labor in competition with free labor
on the plea of war necessity. 1t was
pointed out that there is at present no
real shortage of labor in Colorado.
The Assembly voted unanimously to
file n vigorous protest with the Gov
ernor against any attempt to employ
convicts. the president and secretary
being instructed to send letter bear
ing the seal of the Assembly to this
effect.
Morrissey Makes Speech.
The letter of Deputy Labor Com
missioner w. l.. Morrissey to the Gov
ernor on the convict employment ques-
ton, published in The Bulletin last
week. was unanimously approved.
Commissioner Morrissey, who was
n visitor to the Assembly. was invited
to address the delegates on this sub
ject, and was given generous applause
when he walked to the presiding Of
ficer's station.
Clerks Trouble Adjusted.
The mediation and conciliation COM
mittee made good report of work ac-
complished during the previous two
weeks. The long -drawn-out contro-
versy between the Retail Clerks Union
and the Cottrell Clothing Company,
the Michaelson Company and the
Douglas Shoe Company was reported
as having been satisfactorily adjusted.

The war is making an increasing
number of tuberculars, and hundreds
are coming to Colorado in the hope of
regaining health and usefulness in
our glorious climate. We must care
for them, and the Denver Anti-Tuber-
culosis Society is the organized me-
dium thru which this splendid work is
being performed.
Mrs. Garnet Isabel Pelton, eNecu-
tive secretary of the society, with of
fices in the Coronado building, says
the slogan of Five seals per capita"
must be more than realized this year.
Seals are on sale in the postoffice lob

sociation We're enlarged to include ma
tional and international disasters. In
the majority of countries Red Cross
societies have also thus enlarged their
spheres.
The Red Cross has an international
conference every five years. At the
eighth international conference in
London, in 1907, it was agreed that
all the national societies take some
part in the campaign against tubercu-
losis, as that disease is one of the
greatest disasters among mankind.
To carry out its part in the fight
against tuberculosis. the American
Red Cross adopted the use of the Red
Cross Christian seal. This sale has
increased so rapidly that it has be-
come by far the most important pri-
vate means of maintaining the active
campaign against tuberculosis in the
United States.
The seal is an inheritance of the
Sanitary Commission of the Civil War.
In 1862 the first charity stamps were
sold at a sanitary fair in Boston. For
many years after the war the idea of
the charity stamp was lost. 1t came
to light again in Portugal for the ben
eft of the Red Cross in that country.

means committee, on his return to
Washington, Immediately took up
the question and the committee is
expected to frame new bond meas
ure within a week or two. If this
plan is finally adopted, the country
probably will be called on to absorb
two more big Liberty bond issues
between February l and July l, ag-
gregating more that $8,500,000,000.
Another big finance question
which will receive the early attention
of congress is continuance of loans
to the allies. If the present rate of
extending credit to the allies is con-
tinued the $7,00O,0O0,000 author
lied credits will be exhausted by
July /, and congress will have to de-
eide whether to continue the loans
after that time. Six billion dollars
will be required for the fiscal year
beginning next July l, if the rate of
100000 a month is kept up.
Wide differences of opinion exist in
congress over the question of wheth-
err the bulk of the $4,000, 200
should be raised by taYation or bond
issues, but those advocating the is
sue of securities expect strong sup
port from the administration. They
are prepared to argue that the in
ternal revenue bureau already is
overburdened with the immense task
of creating machinery for collection
of the 100000, 900 war revenue
expected before July l and that
great confusion would result from
imposition of new taxes before OPP
portupity has been given for the ex-
isting' levies to adjust themselves to
the economic situation.
Taxation advocates are expected
to fight for establishment of new
taxes on certain business lines and
for increase of income and excess
profits rates. Under the present law
the estimated receipts from incomes
are $1,000, 100000 and from excess
profits $1,22O,OOO,0OO.
Treasury officials and congress
sional leaders in charge of the
finance commission have no means OF
knowing at this time what success
the war savings plan will meet, but
most of them figure on receiving be-
tween $500, 100000 and $1,000
100000 of the authorized $4,000
600, 900 total before July II.
In connection with the taxation
legislative program it is now indi-
Gated that congress will be asked by
officials in charge of administering
the tax laws to make a number OF
amendments to the excess profits tax
provision, members of the excess
profits advisory committee, which
has been assisting Internal Revenue

the law, feel that it is impossible for

legislation will be required to clarity

ground used exclusively for the pau
per dead. The EXPENSE of any such
burial shall in no case be more than
$50. If the deceased has relatives
or friends who desire to conduct the
burial they shall be permitted to do
so, but if they are unable to pay the
expenses thereof, such expenses shall
be paid by the county in which the
deceased soldier, sailor or marine,
his wife or widow, may die, as here
inbefore provided.
Section 1868. The expenses of
such burial and headstones shall be
paid by the county in which such
soldier, sailor or marine resided at
the time of his death; and the board
of county commissioners of such
county is authorized and directed to
audit the account and pay the said
expenses in a similar manner as
other accounts against such county
are audited and paid.

MUST HAVE MORE COIN

Congress will have to authorize,
early in the session converting Mon
day, means of collecting between
now and July 1 about $4,000, OOO,-
900 in addition to the 1886, OOO,-
600 from Liberty bonds, the 81 ,0O0,-
100000 or less expected from the
war saving campaign, and about 49,
900, 100000 from war taxes.
Most congressional leaders believe
the $5,000,000,000 balance must be
provided principally by issue of
bonds and Secretary McAdoo has
told members of congress that he
heartily favors this method. Chair

EVERY COUNTY PAYS

The question about what counties
in the state are liable for the burial
expenses of Civil War veterans,
their wives or widows, who die at the
State Soldiers Home, says the Dodge
City Daily Globe, is settled in a let
ter which Attorney General S. NJ.
Brewster has written to President j.
N. Harrison of the board of manag-
ers of the Soldiers Home.
There has frequently been trouble
in collecting from other counties the
burial expenses of soldiers who lived
in those counties before coming to
the Home, but the attorney general
says the soldiers do not lose their
residence in those counties by COM
ing to the Home and that the coun-
ties from which they come are liable
for the burial expenses. The attor-
ney generals letter on the subject
follows:
Hon. j. N. Harrison, President Board
of Managers, Soldiers Home,
Topeka, Kansas.
Dear Sir:-Yours of the 10Th inst.
just received, in which you state that
bills for the burial expenses of old
soldiers at the Fort Dodge Home,
and of the widows of old soldiers at
the Mother Bickerdyke Home, have
been presented to your board for
payment. You inquire who is liable
for the burial expenses of sucn SOL
diers and soldiers widows. Under
the provisions of Sections 1866 and
1858, General Statutes of 1909, in
my opinion their expenses should be
paid in each case by the county of
the residence of such old soldier or

few hours longer for another train.
In fact people who go on long jour-
neys almost invariably take the fast

No. 39 is the west bound evening
train and is due at Pratt at Gals and
out at $50; No. "a arrives, going
east in the evening at $50 and is due
to leave at $50.
The object in discontinuing the
trains in question is to conserve
equipment and fuel. The move comes
as result of suggestion from the

conveniences for the sake of preserv-
ing to some extent the fuel supply
and further, to lend more equipment
for government purposes. 1t is I'M
derstood-in fact it has been done on
many lnes-that passenger service
will be greatly curtailed on all the
railways in the country. AS far as
the Rock Island is concerned, it will
come as welcome move, this COM
pany having already made represen-
tations to the commerce commission
that it is losing money on passenger
traffic.-Pratt Tribune.

old soldiers widow. The mere fact
that an old soldier becomes an in
mate of the Fort Dodge Home, of an
old soldiers widow becomes an in
mate of the Mother Bickerdyke
Home, does not change the residence
of such old soldier or old soldiers
widow. The state, for the time be-
ing, assumes the care of such old
soldiers and old soldires' widows, and
furnishes them homes during their
lives, but this does not relieve the
county from responsibility for fur
nishing proper burial for such old
soldiers and old soldiers widows, and
that duty still devolves upon the
county. Yours very truly
S. M. BREWSTER,
Attorney General.
The two sections of the statutes
referred to in the attorney generals
letter read as follows:
Section 1866. 1t shall be the
duty of the county commissioners in
each of the counties of the state to
designate the township trustee or
some other suitable person in each
township, whose duty it shall be to
cause to be decently inferred the
body of any honorably discharged
Union soldier, sailor or marine, who
served in the Union army or iavy
in the war of 1876, known as the
Civil War, or the body of the
wife or widow of any such soldier,
sailor or marine, who may hereafter
die without leaving sufficient means
to defray his or her funeral ex-
penses. Such burial shall not be
made in any cemetery or burial
ground or that portion of any burial
