GOVERNMENT REvlsEs
ALLOTMENT PLAN
Important Amendment q nar-Rlsk
Insurance Act Are Retroactive
10 huly IS

Santa Fe, Aug. GA radical
change IN the method Of handling
allotmenls and family allowances,
which win speed up the delivery Of
government checks to the dependents
of soldiers aud sailors, went into ef-
feet July LIST, according to the state
ment Of the state council Of defense
issued today.
Several important amendments Of
the war-risk insurance act, Just ap-
proved the president, makes pos
sible the change in procedure.
After July LIST every enlisted man
in the military or naval service, re-
gardless of rank or pay, must make
the same compulsory allotment to
his wife and children, $15 a MONTH
To this allotment the government will
add monthly allowance ranging
from IS a month for a motherless
chlld, and 80 for q wife without
children, up to a maximum Of $50.
In addition, the enlisted man, if he
desires government allowances for
his dependent parents, grandparents,
grandchildren, brothers and sisters,
may make voluntary allotments to
them, fixed by the new amendments
at So month, where allotment is
made to wife and children, and SIS
where no such allotment is made.
Heretofore allotments were on a
sliding scale varied according to the
soldiers pay or the number and per
sonnet Of his family.
July allotments are not payable
until August, and August allOtments
are not payable until September.

The state political situation Is
somewhat in the air. State Chair
man Seligman has called the Demo
Gratis to meet in this ancient capital
on Thursday, August 90, for the
purpose Of naming the place and day
Of the state convention, and agree
ing to that portion Of the slate al
ready prepared. Also the important
mater of campaign finance will be
taken up. II is said that the Demo-
Gratis will this year have the great
est campaign resources ever before
known in the state. The Republican
call is expected any hour.
Attention has been called to the
fact that a new election system is to
be put into effect in the next general
election and a short campaign will
work TO the disadvantage of those
desiring free expression from the
voters. The advantage will naturally
be with the party in pOwer-which
this time happens to be the Demo
Gratis.
1t may be said, and upon good au-
thority, that the Democratic campaign
will continue to be fought on the
plan Of intimidating voters into vot-
ing the Democratic ticket by threats
against their standing as Americans,
which is sometimes called the poll
titeering plan. The main argument
will be that every patriot must vote
the Democratic tickpt-iust because
if he didn't, some Of the boys can't
stay in office.

In his statement announcing
Pershing Day, Director Reynolds
says:
"This is the natal day Of our gall
liant commander Of the United States
armies overseas, and as fitting
tribute to the appreciation which
our people feel for his service, the
citizens of New Mexico are asked to
undertake second intensive drive
for war savings pledges.
Hundreds of people m our state
who are financially able to purchase
war savings stamps have as yet
made no purchase or signed no
pledge.
every county chairman, through
his county committee, is respectfully
requested to make a formal observ-
ance of Pershing Day, and back it up
with county wide campaign to see
ure additional pledges from those
who have pledged inadequately and
new pledges from those who have
rs vet made none.
The impression has been given
out that the purchase Of war savings
stamps is work only for women,
children and small savers. This is in
no sense true. The treasury depart
ment expects every business man and
every adult wage Garner to invest in
these stamps to the limit Of his
means.
"The correction of this erroneous
impression will be one of your big
jobs on Pershing Day and one which
should be done thoroughly"

DEms. DENY CONNECTION
WITH HEARST LAWSUIT
But Santa Fs uflle Thinks 50 mueh
Smoke Must Msan q LII
10 Fire

Santa Fe, Aug. 22.-some boast
ing Democrat gave the gang away
on that little Hearst VS.. Council Of
Defense deal, and now the bosses
are very busy denying any conneo-
ton with it. According to the tales
going around the representatives of
Hearst knew what they were about
when they selected the small com
parahvely unimportant and PARKWAY
state Of New Mexico for their attack
on those persons trying to stop the
distribution Of anti-American pro-
paeanda, else why not start the fight
IN states closer to New York where
the falling off Of circulation has been
something startling9
II is doubtful If any one supposed
the fight against Hearst was legally
accomplished, and probably the
rumors would have passed as purely
political if the Democratic bosses
had not prepared the way for a fight
for the relief Of Hearst BY having
some very strong speeches made be-
fore the suit was filed. It must b.
considered that the granting Of an
injunction may stop the. state coun-
ell Of defense from further interfer-
ing with the circulation Of the Hearst
publications, officially, but il will
not stop public sentiment any more
than the purely technical arguments
advanced BY the German ambassador
to defend the sinking Of the Lusita-
MA changed public opinion as to
that incident, therefore it became
necessary, in the opinion of the Dem
ocratic bosses, to prepare the pub
he mind by few speeches BY
prominent Democrats. Ii was prob
ably the intention TO continue the
speechmaking, but the unexpected
accusation Of completely between the
Hearst managers and the Democratic
bosses upset the plans. The Demo-
Gratis responsible for the affair soon
council Of defense were strictly
according to law or not, The fact
remained that Hearst and his
publications were too closely
linked with Bolo Pasha, the German
ambassador and member of Hearst
employees now in camps of intern
ment for the period of the war. They
emphatically deny any understanding
with the Hearst representatives or
anybody else, etc. Politicians and
public men are prone to deny any
thing not promising to be on the
popular side.
According to Dame Rumor the
New Mexican was in the deal to the
extent Of assisting Hearst to the
extent possible and afterwards at
lacking Senator Fall. The New
Mexican did all it possibly could to
support Hearst propaganda in the
state, but seemed to consider it ne
cessary to publish a long editorial
denying any combination of the kind
being charged, or any other kind Of
pro- Germanism.

Ford. with the northwest states as
their general destination, have To-
Gated at Bnhl, Idaho, according to a
letter received a few days ago by C.
IL Boydston of the Parrish store,
where Mr.. Wilson was employed for
a time. Their trip was several hun
dred miles longer than they had ex-
pected, owing to the fact that several
mountain passes were not open, so
that they traversed more than 1000
miles to reach Bull, which is only
about 1000 miles from Deming as
the crow flies.
