Weather Bureau Sees No Immediate Pros
pect Of Warmer Weather.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Advices re.
ceived by the weather bureau indicate
that the full force Of the cold wave
will not be felt in the Middle and
South Atlantic states until morning,
when the lowest temperatures Of the
season undoubtedly will be reached.
The reports received show that the en-.
tire country, from the Rocky Noun.
tains to the Atlantic coast, has felt, or
will feel, severely, the effects Of the
cold snap, which is technically ex-
planned to be due to an exceedingly
high barometer from the cold breeding
regions of the Canadian Northwest
province, making south and eastward,
and displacing a low barometer in
those sections. The weather bureau
expects that low temperatures will be
general throughout the section east of
the Rockies, most, if not all, this week.

posed TO swell the appropriation, but
taking into account none Of these 1t is
seen that the prospective demands upon
the state treasury for the coming two
years exceeds the revenues estimated by
more than 100000. It is acknowledged
that a cut will have to be made, but
where, is the problem.
The Legislature does not seem to set
the example Of economy. Last Wednes-
day before the adjournment IA sddi-
tional clerks we're employed at IS day.
The Fargo Forum, republican paper,
quotes Senator Creel as saying that
there was not solitary thing for these
clerks to do. They were appointed
week before it was known they would not
have any duties to perform as the legis-
lature had taken recess.
The expenses of this legislature will be
more than twice that Of the last The
house has seven pages; last session there
were four. The senate has 5; last see-
sion, three. Last session three clerks
did all the wolk in the house for the first
half Of the session for the committees.
But this new order ls in line with the
demands of members from various dis.
tricts. 1t ia said there are four more
employees in the house than there are
members.
A resolution was introduced IN the
senate raising the per diem salaries Of
employees and fixing them as follows:
Chief clerk, IS, seargent alarms and
stenographer, each, Sc; pages and
janitor 50 each, all others IS. This rslses
the pay OF all employees except that of
pages and janitor over that fixed by law:
Sec % of the code. The raise is from
one to two dollars day. The extra pay
called for by this resolution will amount
to several thousand dollars. Indepen-
dents and fusionists are reported voting
against the resolution to increase the
pay and to the employment OF an ex-
cessve number Of employees.
Where all the money is to come from
is question that does not appear to be
particularly agltatipg the legislature.
Several bills have been introduced for
the purpose of raising more money by
taxation and especially in the collection
of delinquent taxes. Very stringent
bills for the collection Of delinquent
taxes have been introduced which, If
passed, will make it practical confiscs-
tion of property for taxes to remain de-
linqnent. The state, it is said, has due
something like $35O,OOO for delinquent
taxes which have been bid in.
A simple statement OF these facts and
figures is due to every taxpayer.
