Liberty-Bond Coupons

The interest coupons of Liberty
Loan Bonds are payable at any
Federal reserve bank or Sub
Treasury Department in Wash
ington, and any national bank
which is a general depository Of
Government funds is required to
cash these coupons wi t h u t
charge.
1t is believed by the Treasury
Department that no bank or
trust company which is a deposi-
tary of the proceeds Of Liberty
Bands or Treasury certificates of
Indebtedness will make a charge
for collecting the coupons, pay
ing cash to the holder. The ser
vice rendered by banking insti-
tutions in cashing these interest
coupons is a substantial one, but
it is hoped that these depositaries
will perform the service without
charge as patriotic duty.

PRISON TERM
For Those Who Do Not Return
Questionaires.

Imprisonment for one year, the
loss Of valuable rights and pri-
vileges and immediate induction
into the military service are the
penalties which may be inflicted
upon any registrant who fails to
return his QUESTIONABLE to the
local board. Confusion assaulted
the minds of many, since the Sc
lective draft law went into effect
as to what the penalty was for
failure to fill out and return the
QUESTIONABLE. The arrest Of the
delinquent was sure, but just
what would be done with him af-
ter was not clear.
Failure to return the question
naire shall also be considered as
a waiver of any right or priv
lege which, might have existed in
favor Of such person if he had
performed such duty. Therefore
should any one fail to fill out and
return his QUESTIONABLE, he will
lose all right to claim exemption
and may be punished by immedi-
ate Induction into the service, or
a years Imprisonment.
Failure to receive a question
naire does not excuse the regis
rant from any responsibility i'll
The matter, as is apparent by the
following rule under the selective
draft law:
Failure to receive notice or
luestionnaire will not excuse the
eegistrant from performing any
luty within the time limit, nor
hall it be in itself ground for
extension Of time
Furthermore, the laws state
hat it is the duty Of every regis
trant concerning whom any no
ice is posted, but who for some
reason has not received the ques-
tionnaire Or notice, as the case
may be, to apply to his local
board for a copy.
The names of those who have
Jailed to return their question
naire TO their local board will be
turned over to the police to check
up, and later given to the depart
ment OF justice. When appre-
hended they will be Immediately
indicted into the service, or i'm
prisoned, as the department sees
fit.

WATER POWER
Plans Being Made by the Gov
eminent to Develop.

A dispatch from Washington
OF Jan. 4th says President Wilson
has laid before a conference of
house leaders a draft bill de-
signed to establish definite leg
islation policy to develop the ma
tionS water powers, 35,0O0,000
horse power of which is estimated
by government engineers to be
wasted annually.
This bill In all probability will
have tendency to hasten devei
opments in the water power sit
uation in this section of the
country. Ely and vicinity has
an immense water power going
to waste every year-enough IN
fact to supply every industry in
this vicinity with power and also
TO supply the entire population
with heat, electrically furnished.
A few months ago the Kawish-
lwi Power company was organ
lied to develop the power at
Kawishiwi Falls near Winton
but owing to some difficulty III
securing ownership and rights the
project has been delayed. 1t is
understood the company stands
ready to begin work bun that
certain riparian owners cannot
get together on terms.
That there is an immense
amount of power going to waste
IN the Kawishiwi, Pipestone,
Birch River and White Iron
propositions is foregone conclu.
sion and it is to be hoped some
scheme can be developed with as
sistance of the government to
untilize this power. The present
price of coal should speed the pro
Ject.

The recent announcement by
Provost Marshal General E. IL.
Crowder to the effect that no
more formal calls for deferred
percentages of the present draft
doubt but that it will be if not ex-
February 18th, makes it possible
for more draft registrants to en-
list IN the Navy than at any time
since December 18th.
The Navy is greatly in need of
apprentice seamen, the quota Of
500 for this district being far
from filled. This number must be
obtained by February %. Men
enlisted now are being sent home
on furlough, subject to call, be-
cause the training stations are
filed. Pay, $3.50 "a month %
start, begins the day Of enlist
ment. Men enlisted, after their
periods OF training, are put III
branches they are best qualified
to fill.
Recruiting officers at the Min
neapolis station, 304 Marquette
Ave-, Minneapolis, Mimi, say that
there are very few instances
where registrants in the draft
have not been able to secure Ger
tificates stating they are not
needed for current draft quotas.
These are required Of all those
who registered and are obtained
from the applicants local draft
board. Even many who have
been called and examined by
their local boards are eligible I'd
enlistment in the Navy.

Home Guard Officers

At the monthly meeting of Co.
ID. Sth Battalion Minnesota Home
Guards held Friday evening af-
ter the regular drill, Sergeant c..
A. Nutter was elected Second
Lieutenant to fill the vacancy
caused by the promotion Of
Lieutenant Gallagher to Battal-
ion Adjutant.
The election of Mr.. Nutter
meets with the approval of the
members of the company as was
clearly evidenced by the vote
east for him. He has filled the
position of top sergeant since the
organization of the company and
was recognized as one of the best
in that position Of any company
in the state. AS second lieuten-

SOLDIERS PAY
What The American Soldier Gets
for His Services.

Do you know what Uncle Sam
pays his soldiers.
Very few people do. The fol
lowing is official and the correct
amount given in each case:
A private in the Uncle Sam
Army regular, national guard or
national army, receives in cash,
as long as he is in the United
States, $33 a month, in addition
to food, clothing and medical at
tendance.
When he is sent to Europe he
gets 20 per cent extra, whether
in training or in the trenches,
which brings the minimum cash
paN>up to 1880 a month or $1.30
a day.
The revolutionary part of the
pay system, however, about which
most people are ignorant, is the
scale of allowances made by the
government to the soldiers de-
pendents. We are thus breaking
away from the old theory of pay
ing soldiers fiat wage for fight
ing to the new theory that the
nation is responsible for the well
fare not only of the man in ser
vice but for the dependents
whom he left behind him.
The wife receives $15 each
month direct from Uncle Sam
which is virtually an addition to
the fighting mans wage and
brings his total compensation up
to $40 a month while in the
United States and to $3.50
abroad.
IL there is one child with the
wife the allowance is S25 q
month; two children $3.50 and
so on up to the point where a
wife with six children Uncle Sam
pays $50 month in cash to the
family.
1t may not be enough to sup
port them, even with what the
enlisted man can send home out
of his wages, but it is at least a
recognition of Uncle Sam s. re-
sponsibility and bu W T k
against dependence or charity.
Allowances are also provided
dependent parents, $40 a month
for each, and for brothers, sisters
and grandchildren, So month
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1918-01-11

clan within ten days of the birth.
If the births are recorded IN
the state offices without the name
of the infant, a legal birth regis
tration cannot be received at
later date, should one be required.
1t has developed during recent
months that many young men
who were sought for the army
asked for their birth registration
certificates to prove their cor
rect age. The certificates could
not be furnished because the
name was not given at time of the
registration. The age cannot be
proven unless the name appears
on the registration books.

for each with the proviso that in
any case the government will not
pay to the dependents of any man
more than $50 a month.
No mawkish prudery entered
into the drafting of the provis-
ions; by acknowledging his lille
gitimate child a soldier may Sc
cure for it the full government
allowance, the only provision be-
ing that. if it was born after Dec.
81, 1917 it must be born in the
United States. So in case of a
wife, there needs be no legal mar
riage if there is proof that they
have lived together as man and
wife for two years prior to en-
liStment.
Uncle Sam also sees to it that
his soldiers do not throw all the
burden for caring for dependents
on his broad shoulders by MAX
ing it compulsory for each man
who has left a wife or child be-
hind to pay to Them through the
treasury at least $15 a month and
as much more as will equal the
allowance which the u. S. makes
up to half a mans pay. Thus
for the man in service abroad
who has left wife and child be-
hind the man will assign to them
at least $3.50 a month, to which
the government will add $25,
making a total of $44.80 which
they are sure to receive.
The old pension system is
wiped out by the new and far
more equitable system of COM
pensation for death and disabiI
ity.
This compensation differs from
hat provided in3 any other law.
It takes the family as a unit that
is serving the nation, not the in
dividual man. 1t, bases the com
pensation on the size of the fam
ly from time to time. While a
totally disabled bachelor will get
only $50 a month, the man with
wife and four children will get
S75. Twenty dollars is added if
nurse is required, $40 more il
there is dependent widowed
mother; but if he loses both hands
or both feet, becomes tot tally
blind or helplessly bed-ridden, he
GETS 800 month as long as he
lives whether he is married or
not.
If he dies of Injuries or dis
ease received in the line Of duty
the widow, childrea and widowed
mother receive sums ranging
from $50 to $75 month accord
ing to size of family. No distinc
ton is made between a private
| ald the highest officer.
IN addition every man may
take out insurance UP to $4,000
at the actual cost of furnishing
such insurance in peace times
the entire nation, through tn,
treasury, bears the war risk
This insurance is wisely safe
guarded to protect it from cred
itors, shyster lawyers and loan
sharks.

War Work and the Safety Com.
mission.

1t is becoming very apparent
to every man or woman who Is
actively interested in any branch
of war activity that there is too
much duplication of effort in
many instances. This impression
has crystallized itself into def
mite movement looking toward
coordination Of all war work un-
der the supervision of the Pub
lie Safety Commission. This idea
has been approved by the National
Council Of Defense, and appears
10 Re the big idea rapidly gaining
Roadway in all departments.
Over organization has been the
bane Of intelligent preparation
for war purposes and it is abso-
lutely necessary to centralize the
work and establish a clearing
house for the elimination Of du-
plication and the prevention of
waste.
The Commission of Public
Safety, having been organized
and established for the purpose
Of making Minnesota ready and
efficient, is the logical body to
undertake this coordination, and
it has already made some pro-
gress in that direction. Every
department should function in its
own particular field of endeavor
but without conflict with the
plans of others and with full CO.
operation Of each individual plan
or organization.
The editors of newspapers who
have been swamped with publ
city material, urging all sorts of
plans, organizations, etc., all seek
ing to do a commendable work at
the same time, will welcome any
suggestion to the effect that some
practical plan be adopted to
place the direction of all war
work under Yhe supervision OF
the Public Safety Commission or
such board or committee as it
may select or approve. Team
| work will win the war and in
dividual glory, partisan politics
| or personal considerations must
be suborinated to that one pur-
pose. With the Safety Commits
sion using its power, it's organiza-
ton and its equipment to this
end, there will be greater conf
dence among the people that al
plans promoted and carried out
will accomplish the purpose fol
which they, were intended with
out hindrance or the fear of du
| plication or waste.
