Come Slowly
CLERK OF COURT AND AMERI-
CAN LEGION HAVE MANY
REQUESTS.

w. G. Weldon, clerk of court,
had not received bonus blanks yes
terday morning. He had written to
state officials to supply him with
blanks several days previous, but they
had not arrived up to Monday noon
and their arrival since has not been
reported.
Mr.. Weldon. states he has had
q large number Of inquiries as to the
blanks and as to the filling out of same
from service men, who will apply for
the bonus Of $15 per month arranged to
be paid by the state at the special
session Of the state Legislature.
Red tape will be cut and techni-
calities avoided as far as possible in
administering the soldiers bonus law,
state authorities say. While practical
ly every one of the first 1850 appli-
cations received by the board are
faulty in some respect only about 65C
will have to be returned for correc-
tion.
Members of the Minnesota National
Guard when war was declared vii
not draw their bonus from April q
1917, but from the time when they en-
tered the federal service and began
drawing pay from the federal govern
ment.
The question Of what allowance tc
make for fractional months has beer
referred to the board. The law gives
soldiers SIS "for each and every month
and fraction thereof of service.
AS soon as the blanks arrive Clerk
Weldon states he will arrange tx
have them filled out as rapidly as pos
sible. The local American Legion Post
is also anxiously awaiting blanks and

Denver, March 24.-Another illus
tration that altogether too many peo-
pie urge their members in the legisla-
ture to vote for or against certain
measures, without knowing what the
measures really are, and apparently
on deliberate misinformation supplied
those who are writing their members,
has appeared. The Ben Lindsey SO
called child labor voted down by the
members because it was not what it
was alleged to be, had many support
ers throughout the state. Now it ap-
pears some concerted action has been
taken from some source to make the
dairymen believe certain pure food
law is bad for them.
The Lamar register., 1919-03-26

II at once was heard around the
houses that this action would simply
ruin the dairy interest of Colorado.
since one of these cheaper and whole
some products is manufactured from
SKINNED milk and vegetable fat, the
contention being should the people get
to using this there would be no market
for cream. Many dairymen who were
not fully informed, believed this to be
true and asked their members to vote
against the bill as amended. One
dairyman, a member Of the house, how
ever, takes exactly the opposite posi-
ton, saying as the product is both
cheap and pure the consumer should
have the benefit, and further that its
general use will, in short time, mean
the erection of many condenseries in
Colorado where the farmer can sell all
Of his dairy product and not only the
cream as at present, and so be of
great value to dairymen, rather than
a hinderance.
The Lamar register., 1919-03-26

Early in the session a pure food bill
made its appearance in both houses.
The same measure, word for word, al
so appeared in the legislatures of five
other western states. The law as pro
posed would shut out of these states
certain products recognized as both
cheaper and pure by the federal gov
ernment, but the sale of which in these
states might interfere with the sale
of the old time products no purer but
much more expensive. A man interest
ed in a concern that manufacturers
one of these pure and cheaper products
came to Denver to ascertain, if he
could, why this sudden campaign in
the interest of the High Cost of Liv-
ing. He explained matters to num-
ber of members and an amendment,
conforming the Colorado pure food
laws to the federal laws, was adopted
and the bill as amended passed the
senate.

According to the CONSTITUTION

1t is reported that President Wilson
may issue proclamation from France
when the peace treaty is finally signed,
stating that the war is over. Perhaps
he has forgotten that the Senate must
ratify the treaty and that peace can
not be proclaimed until the Senate has
so ratified and an exchange has taken
place between Washington and Berlin.

This does not mean Murphy is in
without further struggle. 1t is said
Field, whose term expired some time
ago, will contest the appointment in
the courts on the grounds that he
comes under evil service, and this not
withstanding the fact that his office
is constitutional one and can not
come under civil service any more than
the state auditor could. 1t is recalled
this is the method usually employed
by democratic office holders to save
themselves being Jared loose from n
pay check A number who had their
successors appointed by Carlson rush
ed into court and retain their places
by court delays. One republican in
the house suggested bill appropriat-
ing s2500 for dynimite to blow demo-
Gratis loose, but the majority felt the
sum mentioned was far too small for
the purpose.

must also appear, if investigation is
made, that the legislature has been

is going on at the peace conference
and elsewhere. That is just exactly
what some of the leading Republicans
of the country said last November,
soon after the armistice was signed,
but President Wilson and his follow
ers were able to discourage the plan.
