ONLY SMALL PART OF MONEY NEEDED
SECURED IN HOSPITAL CAMPAIGN

taking coarser food, but for the sick
nothing but the best will do. It
doesn't make any difference how prices
may soar, a hospital is expected to
furnish delicacies as part of its regu-
lar bill of fare. In addition to this
$4,000 in charity the hospital must
pay $4,000 in interest every year,
and that $50, 900 deducted from an in
come of less than 100000 wipes out
all margin of profit.
The debt must be raised now or car
ried indefinitely. The church authori-
ties are very unwilling to give per-
mission for such money raising under
takings as the present, and certainly
would not permit another for the same
beneficiary. This means that the sis
tiers must have this help now, or give
up any hope that it will be raised for
years. The prospect is something ap-
palling even to such stout, brave hearts
as theirs. 1t means going without
many things that seem actual neces-
sites to the modern housekeeper, and
putting up with hardships that should
not be put upon those who have work
of such Importance to do. The nurses
sleep in their recreation room, because
the rooms in the building intended for
them are not finished off. The lack
of privacy and the impossibility of
that absolute quiet necessary for
nervous people or light sleepers work
real hardship. There are two floors
still unfinished in the nurses home,
and on the top floor, the coolest in
winter and warmest in summer, the
sisters stow themselves away as best
they can. The hired "help" would OBJ
ject and refuse to stay if compelled
to put up with such uncomfortable
quarters so, of course, the sisters take
what is not good enough for anyone
else.
1t will take over 100000 to relieve

GOVERNOR GUNTER SIGNS LOAN SHARK
BILL FATHERED BY SENATOR DUNKLEE

Governor Gunter signed the "loan
shark bill" fathered by Senator E. V.
Dunklee of Denver, and it is now a
law. 1t combines the best features of
laws now successfully enforced in sew
eral other states, and regulates loans
on personal property and wages.
Senator Dunklee says the law will
put the "loan sharks" out of commits
sion in Colorado.
Following is full text of the new
law:
Be it enacted by the general as
sembly of the state of Colorado:
Section 1. When any person, per-
sons, partnership, corporation or cor
porations, or joint stock company, ma
tional bank, trust company, or any
bank or banks operating under a state
charter or under state supervision, or
building and loan associations, or
title and guaranty companies, shall
lend any sum of money not exceeding
five hundred dollars, and shall take
any mortgage or instrument of writ
ing, upon any personal property,
chooses in action, or on account of any
salary or wages due or to be earned
in the future, to secure the payment
thereof, and shall contract for exact
or receive, directly or indirectly, as
interest or for the use of the money
loaned, any sum of money or other
thing of value in excess of one per
cent per month on the amount actual
ly loaned, provided an additional
charge of 81 for filing fees may be
charged, or who shall accept or re-
ceive any note, bond, bill or other
evidence of debt for or on account of
such loan, or as an inducement there
to, which shall express on its face
sum to be due or payable in excess of
the actual amount so loaned, such
bond, bill, note or other evidence of
debt, together with any mortgage, or
other instrument of writing to secure
the same, upon such chattels, shall be
void and non -enforcible, and any payee
thereof who shall assign, transfer or
deliver to any person, for a good and
valuable consideration, any such bond,
bill, note, or other evidence of debt,
which shall express on its face a sum
due or payable in excess of the sum
actually loaned, or who shall transfer
any mortgage, deed of trust or other
instrument of writing to secure the
same, upon such chattels, without stat
ing to such vendee, assignee or trans
feree the true amount actually loaned,

the immediate necessities of the hos
pital and give it any real relief for
the future, and while the campaign
may end with much less than that,
the charitable people of this city and
state will not have done their duty
until they have rendered substantial
assistance to this great work.
There are various plans for the en-
dowment of rooms, and beds in wards,
and it would seem as if this is a prac-
tical form of charity that should COM
mend itself to various organization.
There are good many thousand wage
earning women in this city, and they
have a special interest in this under
taking for the sisters established the
first home for working girls in Den
yer. If they undertook to raise the
$4,000 necessary to endow room
special provisions would be made for
them, and much more flexible terms
than in the case of individual donors.
Ordinarily in such cases the donor
has the right to send patients to the
hospital during his life, and can be-
queath this privilege to someone else,
but in case of group of working
women, or of working men for that
matter, the endowment will be consid-
cred to be in perpetuity. A bed in a
ward can be endowed in perpetuity
for $4,000, and $500 will keep up such
bed for year.
The hospital needs help and needs it
desperately. 1t has no other means of
revenue than those at hand, and can
not increase them without more money.
1t cannot reduce it's present heavy
expenses without more money. 1t has
no one to whom it can appeal for aid
save the general public. Every dol
lar given meets an actual need, and
will be stretched to its utmost limits.
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-04-28

The Mercy hospital campaign closes
Saturday, April %. At the time this
paper goes to press it appears likely
that only small part of the money
desired will be raised Enough has
been realized to meet the immediate
necessities of the institution and take
up outstanding bills, but not enough to
reduce the debt of $685., 900 appreciably
or to finish the building, which would
greatly add to the comfort of the
nurses and the sisters, the working
possible to clear up this heavy debt,
or even a portion of it, and put up
an addition and fully equip it so as to
take care of from thirty to hundred
more patients, the day when the hos
pital would have been self-sustaining
would have been at hand.
The people of Denver do not under
stand the situation or they would have
responded more generously. They
say, But hospitals are not charitable
institutions, they charge good prices
for the rooms and special nurses. They
ought to make money, and not have to
ask for it." On the other hand, prac-
tically every large hospital in this
city, and this is largely true in all
other cities, is a combination of char
lty and business. Those who can pay
for their accommodations do so; those
who cannot pay full rates pay what
they can. If patient thru any series
of troubles cannot pay at all, the ac-
count is scratched off the books, and
that is the end of it. Mercy hospital
did $4,000 worth of charity work last
year. 1t has done large amount of
unpaid work ever since it was insti-
tuted, and it wants to keep on doing
it, but it must pay its bills, and they
are mounting up at fearful rate with
the increased cost of living.
Ordinary people can cut the cost by

of our dollar at home, we consider a
good investment. $50 much for the
worker
May be permitted to call the manu-
facturers' attention to the method en-
ployed by some business concerns
(Denver concerns). We will refrain
from touching on the state. That
would be too long story. Denver
will suffice at this time, and / will
cite only a few cases: There is an
apartment house under construction
at Nineteenth and Lincoln streets.
The doors 5000 for this building,
have been ordered from an Eastern
firm. The same lumber company has
the contract to furnish the lumber for
the addition to Lewis Dry Goods build
ing, and it goes without saying that
the order for doors, ETC., will go the
same route. There are two buildings
now. about completed at the stock
yards. The stone used in their con-
struction was shipped from the Bed
ford quarries, laid down at stockyards,
finished, ready to be laid upon the
wall. Permit me to suggest that you
communicate with the concerns here
in mentioned asking for an expression
of opinion from the business mans
viewpoint as to the best method to be
pursued to make Denver a greater
Denver, and how to clip the wings of
Colorado's dollar so as to keep it in
Colorado.
Yours respectfully,
L. w. FITZGERALD,
Secretary Stone Cutters Union.
