Their shortsightedness is Tittle less than ridiculous on the matter of the State Road Funds. Utah Cojunty being entitled to $3,600.00 for the roads from the state treasury, has been cut off with out a penny commissioners simply because two Democratic have not the foresight to know that this amount of money used on the highways of the county will bring many times its value in improved Streets foi the farmers who .must soon commence hauling ! k ' 1 ' Again Senator Snioot has come to the aid of the old veterans Who fought sobravely to defend the flag. This time it is because a Democratic Senate controlled largely by the Southern States would discharge the old soldi ers who have been holding positions around the government buildings at Washington for nearly half a century. The custom of giving certain smalljpffices to the 'men who defended the flag was never questioned until President Wilson and his friends took, control. An exchange discussing the situation says: There is a determined1 effort being made in the postoffice department in Washington, as well as in the other departments, to get rid of the old soldiers in government' service. dereotionsdia-chargeand demands for resignations being the order of. the day... It is Recognized by the friends of the old soldiers that while some cf them may be too old to render the same service as younger men, it is unjust to them to throw them out after they have served the government faithfully for many years. The postoffice department has been failed on Tor the namesrages and length of vice of all employes of the department in the Dis-fo- r triet and of the Washington city postoffice, who have served in any war in the United States armv and who'haye been demoted, discharged or whose resignations have been called for since March 4. 1914. The resolution also asks for the efficiency ratings of these employes time of their demotion or removal. In the interest of the old soldiers on the. sepate pay roll. Senator Smoot of Utah hasjntro-ducean amendment to the sundry oivil hillL providing that aH G. A? R. veterans he paid hereafter $144 a year, the pay whieh they have received np to reeentlyT . Senator Smoot says that since the Democrats havp gained control of the senate manyof these old soldiers Ji a vebeen demoted. jUnder resolution of the senate providing lotthe old soldiers roll these men have not beerG discharged. This resolution was adopted July.li lOli. Many ofjthe old soldiers have beeijdesignated as mail carriers, folders and skilled laboreis under the present order of things. You will find one of, the soldiers at a door of the senate, on the Republican side, receiving $840' a year, -- said the senator, and over on the other side, you will find a Democrat doing the same wprk, but receiving $1440 for it perhaps a Confederate veteran.
