Our legislature did right in refus-
ing an appropriation of $4,000 to
Colorado's War Council, The bankers
labored hard to raise Colorado's pro-
portion of liberty bonds without the
hope of fee or reward. Colorado cit
izens gave their time gratis. for the
states subscription to the Red Cross
fund. and also gave their time as
registrars for conscripticn. and why
should not the War Council. who are
all wealthy men, give their time to
the state likewise, and show their
patriotism?.
