MAKING READY FOR ACTUAL MOBILIZATION

whether the work a man is doing at home will be more important to the government than his services as a sol dier.
 Information reaching Washington indicates that the selection boards are taking the view of their work that makes that name fitting for them. They are bent on finding men for the army in the shortest possible time. When they certify any man to the higher boards as held for service, the man becomes a soldier and subject to soldier law It will be the duty of the provost marshal general from that time on to see that he complies with all army orders affecting him and also to turn him over to the army authori- ties when he is called to the colors.
 The quotas from the various dis tricts probably will be assembled first at their district headquarters when the call comes. Whether they will be turned over to an army officer there and taken to their cantonment or whether one of their number will be placed in charge to conduct them to the cantonment has not been decided.

Republican A. P. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, July 25.-Attacks in the senate today upon the $27,000,- 900 rivers and harbors bill centered in an indictment by several senators of the National Rivers and Harbors con- gress which maintains headquarters in Washington and carries on an active campaign for waterways improvement. Senators Kenyon O. Iowa and Jones of Washington, Republicans. and King of Utah, Democrat, led in the criticism of the organizations activities which were vigorously defended by Senator Ransdel of Louisiana, Democrat, for many years president of the waterways congress.
 That back fires" have been set in their home states against certain sen ators and representatives by those in terested in the organizations propa- ganda. was charged by Senators Ken yon and Jones. Senator King declared he could see no diffeence between the activities of the rivers and harbors congress and that of other organiza-- tions criticized for illegitimate lobby ing.
 Senator Ransdell protested that the organizations efforts have been along strictly legitimate, open and public lines, and declared that no one con- nected with it had ever been charged with lobbying among members of con- greSS.
 Senator Kenyon made long speech against the appropriation bill pointing out the many small creeks and rivers with negligible commerce for which appropriations are proposed.
 Senator Sherman of Illinois, Repub- lican declared the measure is mo more connected with the national defense than my last doctors bill"

MORE TAXES AND
 LESS BONDS PLAN
 ID MEET WAR COST
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, July 25.- While awaiting the forthcoming estimates of 9'00O,oo0,O0o or more under prepara- ton by the executive departments to cover war expenses, senate finance committee members discussed infor- mally today how great a part of the total should be raised by taxation and on what commodities the increases should fall.
 Several senators predicted that the present s1,67o,000,000, total of the bill would be increased to at least S2.00O. . 0V0,0O0 with an authorization to cover additional expenses b'- new bond is sue. Others favored a greater increase in taxes 0 nd less bonds or indebtedness certificates. Most leaders apparently were resigned to a further increase of not less than several hundred million dollars.
 The general feeling seems to be against any basic change in the bill Committee leaders apparently favor securing the additional taxes by in creased levies on income and war ex- cess profits, with addition of few, but comparatively minor tax sources.
 Protests against various features of the excess profits sections were re- ceived by the committee at it's informal session today A delegation of rail- road representatives, including A. P. Thom, general counsel for the National Railroads Legislative body, argued that the country would be more bene- fitted, in view of transportation needs, to have the r/iiroads use their surplus in betterments and extensions rather than to pay it in taxes. A number of merchants and manufacturers. headed by President Simmons of the Simmons Hardware company, St Louis, urged reduction from to 6 per cent of the war excess profits tax.

thru. He was business from first to
last. He was man of but few words
and spoke III of no one His most
untimely death was shock to the
entire community and particularly
among the railroad fraternity.
At the church gathered hundreds
of friends. 1t was full to the over
flowing, and Father White conducted
the most beautiful services in
very impressive manner. His sugges-
tive and helpful words, his deep sym
pathy brought home to all the oc-
casion of death and the goodness OF
the man who only a few days ago
was one of the active leading busi-
ness men of this section. Father
White said that he knew why 50
many friends had come to pay their
asst respects to the deceased. He said
it was because he was a good man.
Il was because he had many friends
who admired his good qualities. Ger
lainly his closing words did make the
strong men weep.
After the impressive ceremonies
were closed the most beautiful cas-
ket with its profusion of flowers was
placed where the many friends took
last look at the remains before they
Nended their way to Greenmount
cemetery.
The deceased leaves-a devoted wife,
loving son and daughter, five bro
5hers and three sisters Owing to
great distances it WAS impossible for
four brothers and three sisters to be
present.
At the cemetery, in the beautiful
Ell1s section, Father White closed
his last services and then the Elks
lodge, Of which the deceased had been
an honored member for some fifteen
years, took charge of the closing
ceremonies. 1t was while the lodge
vas performing the last sacred duty
20 its departed member that the cas-
Set was lowered to its resting place
In conclusion it is we'll to say that
he Denver & Rio Grande r. X. Co.
mas lost an efficient officer, the rail
road men a loyal friend and Durango
and this section noble citizen, but
TO those most near, and dear to him
we fail for words to express appro
priately those thoughts that must
come to them in this day of theii
deepest grief.
