happened.
Along in the afternoon the one
Woman to whom Jessie could un-
fold herself, viz. Mrs. Filter, came
in for Shot of Orange Pekoe and
got the whole Yarn.
"My husband Is as smart as they
turn them out and he is Self-Made,"
she explained. az don't blame him
for objecting to Lem coming here
and sponging for Weeks at time.
The lazy Hulk ought to be doing

was a Meeting at the Club and
Ralph was giving the Low Down

II will be noticed that unbelievaby small fig
ures are cited for the World war pensioners.
Obviously this does not include the vast sums
that have been paid out In one form or another
10 these veterans and the explanation Is that
there was different set-up for compensating
those who served in this conflict.
Since the close of the World war the gov
ernment has paid out approximately S6,31S,-
1OS,733 on account of relief of World war vet
Grams and their dependents-an average of about
SA51 3OOOO0 annually. Some of this money was
paid in insurance premiums by the veterans
themselves. but the greater portion came from
the treasury. Appropriations made by congress
for the financing of veterans relief in the fiscal
year 1888 total 1927, $4,000.
Seven forms of relief have been provided and
all are in operation. They are: Adjusted service
compensation, medical care and treatment, dis
ability compensation, United States insurance,
term insurance paid for permanent and total
disability, disability allowances and emergency
officers retirement pay.
On June 80, 1881, the veterans administration
was set up. the old pension bureau absorbed
in 1t and all veterans activities and operation of
homes for veterans are now concentrated in this
federal organization which is headed by Brig.
Gen. Frank T. Hines as administrator.
The adjusted compensation law, changed by
ton certificates, maturing In 20 years. should be
available to all below the rank of captain who
had served in the military service more than
60 days. At maturity these certificates will vary
in value from $50 TO S1.595 depending ON the
length Of the veterans service, and meantime
money may be borrowed them. Certificates
issued up to March 1. 1881. totaed 3,49S,376
and had total maturity value OF SO, 3,52S.022, III
Loans made upon them apprOximated about
$243,000,00O during the same period.
Under the disqualification plan all veterans
are entitled to free treatment of hospital nature
either in out of government hospitals, 81
hospitals being operated in 1881, five more be-
ing built and ten more authorized by congress
The cost of operating these institutions and car
ing for the patients is in excess of S4500000O0
20 January l. 1881.
The government relief program includes death
and disability compensation, disabled emergency
officers retirement pay and disability allowance
which have cost 50 1869 up to July l. 1892
Another relief activity is the grant of low-cost
insurance against death or permanent disability
in any multiple of $500 from 81 900 to $4,000 to
any healthy veteran who has previously applied
for or has been eligible to apply for annually
renewable wartime insurance or United States

The occasion for these reflections upon the
costs of war is the fact that March II OF this
year marks the huDdredth anniversary Of
the establishment of the United States pension
bureau and during that institutions career of
nearly a century, 1t was the medium through
which there were paid out staggering sums of
money in pensions to veterans. their widows and
their dependents. And these staggering sums
were only small part OF the actual expense Of
the wars In which Uncle Sam has been engaged
Here are the latest available figures on the
amounts OF pensions paid out from 1870 to 1892

these figures do not tell all the story:

threatened not to send any more re-
lief money into Kentucky until the
state itself produced some, events
proved otherwise. On Gov. Ruby Laf-
looms promise to sell $3.50, 900 In war
rants anticipating revenues from beer
and whisky taxes, created by a special
session of the Legislature. Harry L.
Hopkins. Federal relief administrator,
sent S563,l79 into Kentucky to meet
needs for the month of October.
The warrants have not been sold.
After State Auditor J. Dan Talbot
countersigned them, the Governors Of
nee issued rosy statements that he had
been offered 98, price about 10 points
higher than Kentucky warrants have
brought in the past two years. The
stories, apparently inspired, were to
the effect that this pleased the Gov
ernor so much that he intended to ad-
vertiSe for bids in the hope of obtain
ing par. At the appointed hour for
opening bids, it was no longer possible
to conceal the facts. Not a banker in
the State submitted a bid. Gov. Laffoon
said something about readvertising
them, but he hasn't done so yet. Con-
Sequently the only funds available are
Federal funds.
Time Needed for Solution.
Inaction at Frankfort indicates that
the administration is waiting for time
to solve the problem. In few weeks
the beer taxes, mounting since Septem-
Der Is. will begin to roll in and by
January 2, the whisky withdrawal taxes
must be paid. If the collections as
sumo sufficient volume, it won't b.
necessary to sell the warrants.

Gas Tax Is Upheld

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, October as
A decision by the Arkansas Supreme
Court upholding a provision Of act So
OF 1881, the Scent gasoline tax law,
authorizing collection Of the same rate
In border towns as Is collected by ad-
joining States is expected to bring ad-
dltlonal revenue into the State
treasury.
Filling station operators and retailers
along the State border had been forced
to compete with dealers across the
border who collected lower gasoline
tax and consequently could sell gaso-
line cheaper. Oklahoma has q Accent
tax. Missouri 2-cent tax and Louisi-
ana and Texas 3 cents each. It had
been the custom of residents along the
border to drive across into the neigh
boring States and fill their gasoline
tanks at a saving. Arkansas was los
ing this business entirely and in order
to regain it the provision was inserted
In the act.
In an effort to check an additional
leak in the revenue department a
survey is being made on the age OF all
automobiles for which licenses have
been issued. The last regular session
of the State General Assembly reduced
cent and for cars more than four years
old an additional so per cent.
1t is estimated the State has lost
$780, 900 in highway revenue through
the Misrepresentation of the age Of
5000 automobiles by the owners. Be-
cause of the cost Of keeping records
1t is predicted that the next session
of the Legislature will make the license
fee the same for all cars Of the same
model, regardless of age.

TOPEKA, Kans.. october 28.-Kan-
sas. which has avoided q vote on repeal
Of the eighteenth amendment until re-
peal Is an accepted fact, and, there
fore, no Kansas vote Is necessary. Is to
have its fight between the vets and
the drys anyway.
Gov. Landon, Republican, has issued
his call for a special session OF the
Legislature TO meet tomorrow. It
probably viii be in session q month,
at least.
Kansas has had Statewide prohibi-
ton for almost half century. But
in all that time It never has passed q
law defining the percentage OF alcohol
eating. The general theory has been
that any beverage containing more
than q trace Of alcohol Is intoxicating.
The courts, until this year. never
passed exactly upon the percentage
question.
Before national prohibition 1t didn't
matter. Courts and juries found vio-
lators Of the prohibitory laws guilty;
border cities. When juries didn't act
in those localities, the Governor. with
State backing. would send in q special
assistant attorney general and saloons
and substitutes for the saloon would
be closed with injunction and paddock
Beer Bills Advent.
Came national prohibition. Then
came the beer bill declaring malt bev-
erages containing less than 80 OF alco-
hol non Intoxicating. When it became
evident that national prohibition would
be repealed, druggists and hot-dog
stands and restaurants took heart and
started selling 80. The attorney gen
eral promptly went after them-and
the Supreme Court ruled that there be-
ing no legal percentage In any Kansas
statute the trial courts would have to
decide whether beverages sold were
Intoxicating In fact"
That ended the attempt to prevent
manded a special Legislature to decide
the question. Now the special session
has been called. The battle lines are
drawn.
The vets want 80 or less declared
Misunderstanding. The cities want the
revenue from the sale OF beer.
The drys want the percentage placed
at one-half Of / per cent. Today 1t
looks as If the vets will WIN, though not
by as large a majority as it looked two
months ago. The drys are gaining
strength, or rather consolidating their
forces. The w. c. T. u, which has
been looking for something to do for
the last 13 years, and losing much OF
its fighting spirit as a result, has come
to life again. Its membership is in
creasing; its members are becoming
militant.
If the vets win their fight they then
propose to attempt the resubmission of
the State prohibitory amendment by
