MAN WHO INVENTED
CARTRIDGE BELT
MADE BIG FORTUNE

Ell Paso, Texas, June 3.-How q
young West Point cadet who failed in
mathematics and resigned from the
academy. became a brigadier general,
made a fortune by %inventing the Mills
cartridge belt and became known as
the grand old man Of Ell Paso' is
told In a book just published by Brig
adler General Arson Mills, retifed, for
private circulation as gifts t o his
friends throughout the United States.
The book is entitled my Story and
is the memoirs of General Mills long
career In the army and In public life.
1t will not be offered for sale and each
copy was autographed by the author.
AS a boy the author worked at a
loom when clothing was made by
hand. He applied the knowledge he
learned tending The crude loom to the
problem of furnishing the American
soldier an ammunition carrier which
would be more comfortable and con-
venient than the old leather cartridge
box. The Mills belt vas finally adopt
ed by the United States army at the
war. was later used by both Beers and
British in South Africa and by many
Of the armies Of the world. The
American army uses the Mills belt
and equipment. although General
Mills retired from the company manu-
featuring these belts in 1905.
The book also furnishes the first
permanent record of Ell Paso's. early
history when this city was a frontier
who laid out the little border town,
tells how the name Of Franklin was
changed by him to Ell Paso (the pass)
because of the pass in the mountain
chain rear here through which the
Rio Grande flowed to the gulf. His
experiences in the wild frontier settle
ment, as told in his memoirs, are
stirring.
The authors story also includes
war as it related to the southwest.
After casting the only vote polled here
against the withdrawal Of Texas from
the union. General Mills was forced
to leave the border and was reinstated
with his class and given a commission
In the army at the beginning Of the
Civil war. He was promoted until he
held the ran of brtgadier general at
the time Of his retirement.
After the close of the war General
Mills was stationed in the west. The
pursuit and capture Of old Geronimo.
the Apache leader; the Indian fights
OF the old west and REVOLUTIONARY
events in Mexico are related by the
author in a personal way. as he par
ticipated in many of these stirring
events Of the frontier days.
AS American commissioner on the
international boundary commission
for adjudicating disputes arising over
the boundary line between Mexico and
the United States; as General Nelson
A. Miles companion on a trip
through Europe and as the personal
friend Of national and international
characters In Washington, General
Mills observed keenly national and in
ternational affairs and includes many
Of his personal observations I'm his
published memoirs.

A POWER ABOVE THE LEGISLATURE

The emergency board created for the purpose OF
making workable the law forbiddng the creating of a
deficiency in the running of the states business 1t was
understood that certain conditions might arise under
which it would be impossible to carry the affairs Of
the state and keep within the appropriations for the
especial matter Such condition faces the state
prison There an institution that must be maintained
yet without the emergency board when the appropriation
was exhausted it would have to quit business the gov
ernor call an extra session of the legislature to make
provision for it. Such were no doubt what were in
mind when the emergency board was created However,
it has yet been decided how far the emergency board
may usurp the powers of the egisatureand get away
with it. The creation Of the state police pretty
long stretch Of the emergency business There no
deficiency of any kind appropriation exhausted mo-
institution short Of funds nothing about which the
emergency board could act legally any than it could
have declared the state needed new prison and sol
ordered the raising Of the money for that purpose 1t
was legislation pure and simple and nothing else 1t was
beyond the widest imagnngs of the author of the bill
those who voted for it. If the emergency board can
create such body the State police lawfully then it
can do any other legislation 1t might possibly be better
way Of making and unmaking laws than by having al
legislature for the purpose but the trouble with it is that
so far there is nothing egaizng its acts If it is to bel
permitted to do this kind of emergency business, it
will be power above the legislature for If the legisa
ture refused to pass certain BILL for instance Great
ing state police all that would be required would be the
adjournment of the legislature the calling of the
emergency board and the passing of bill" by thel
emergency board that made that a law which the
legislature refused so to make.
