The New Initiated Loan Law
(J. S. Hoy.)

The Colorado attorney general has
out of the chaos of conflicting opinions
| decided on a plan to secure the state
on its loans to honest farmers. Follow
ing precedents established by state Of
ficials in dealing with the people he
has so arranged matters that no
scheming, guilty borrower can escape.

the peace, dignity and security of the
state, make it safe from embezzle-
Washington said in his farewell ad-
dress: 81 warn you my countrymen
against the intrigues of the state"
What is thestate? The state in ma
chine, a ruthless, souless machine,
which if one gets in its way is as
merciless as Jehovah's Chariot. 1t
crushes all with as little concern as
one would crush bugs and worms
while going sixty miles an hour in a
$4,000 ten ton model automobile.
The attorney says you must show
an abstract of your land. pure and
undefiled. Then he will accommodate
you with the schoolfund money at six
cent per annum to an amount equal
to one-third of the appraised value of
your homestead that a generous gov
ernment gave you-for nothing, If
you should default in paying the inter

attract great deal of attention. The
farmers son would certainly become
deeply interested in a fine team OF
nurebred mares and the colts they
raise. 1t would stimulate him and en-
courage him to put forth his best eff

The boy who is proud of the stock
on the farm and who may raise and
develop colt good enough to win at
one of the local fairs is not nearly so
likely to leave the farm.

KANSAS WOMEN SCAN FILMS
New State Censorship Board Lacks
Masculine Members.

TOPEKA, Kan, April THE new
Kansas film censorship board is made
up entirely Of women. In the person
mel of the new board Governor Capper
has retained but one member Of the
old board. Miss Carrie Simpson, OF
Paola. and added two new members.
They are Mrs. J. NJ. Miller, of Council
Grove, and Mrs. E. L Shortt, of Kan
sas City. Kan. OF the 100 requests
for appointments less than a dozen
were from men.
According to gossip in Topeka, the
administration of the board is to be
anything but smooth II the censorship
follows the line of the old board.
The new censorship law, besides
raising the. salary of the chairman to
81 800 and the other two members to
81, 500, permits the films companies to
make appeals to the courts instead OF
to the old appeal board composed OF
the governor, the attorney general
and the secretary Of state.

CONGRESS DIVIDED
ON CONSCRIPTION
Prospect Is Strong for a Bitter
Contest on the Army
Bill.

The coming week in Congress will
witness a clash between the friends
and opponents of drafting or conscrip-
tion in the raising of troops for the
new army.
The Senate is not in session today.
and, like the House, will not meet
until Monday. Both bodies are await
ing the reports of the military COM
mittees on proposed army legislation.
While there is no question that
sweeping powers in the matter of
raising armies will be conferred on the
President and the War Department,
there Is today in Congress what
amo0nts to a division like that which
the English Parliament for many
months experienced over the con-
scription question.
1t is already plain that many MEM
bers of both bodies who voted for the
war resolution will not vote for con-
scription. Some who would be will
ling to support conscription at a later
period Of the war hold that volunteer
ing should first be tried and conscrip-
tion left until the war has further
developed.
Legislators Of experience predicted
today the fight in both bodies over
conscription would be sharp and Bit
ter.
There Is as yet uncertainty that
troops will be sent to foreign soil.
The American volunteer enllsts in
part from the desire for action. not
for the life OF camps. It is not yet
possible. of course. for the War De-
partment to promise men the excite
ments OF foreign service. and this, in
the belief OF some. will have a ten
dency to hold back volunteering.

not for morbid, sentimental, or, even

Gettysburg, Waterloo. and San

neutral, just returned from Switzer-
land, tells me that automobiling In
the mountain republic has now come
to an end. Tires are only allowed to
be imported upon government order;
there is no gasolene except for most
urgent needs; doctors only have free
automobile circulation, and they prac-
tically are running on benzol. This Is
what war has done for q benevolent
neutral.
''The situation in Italy Is practically
blocked with tires and petrol and gas
olene tied up tight. In England there
are few private automobiles in use
that are not on government work. Be
sides, there is the tax on automobiles
and parts which war brought to free
trade England, thus making II q pro-
tectionist country, and protectionist

Musterole is a clean, white ointment,
