:ident occurred in district court here

the plea of guilty and waving time
he was sentenced to ten months i'm.

broken in health. He was for four
years county auditor of Iowa county,

used the money of the Henderson es-

State Superintendent Barrett has
0een holding conferences with the
county superintendent of the state
respecting school matters. He has
discovered that there is a divergence
of views between himself and the
county superintendent as to the in.
depreciation to be placed on some OF
the laws relating to schools. For
instance, he has held. and the attorney
general has sustained MIN, that il is
illegal for county superintendents to
issue certificates to teachers on ex.
Rminations taken before other super.
intendents. This practice, he has
discovered, has been quite common.
Moreover, she county superintendents
are inclined to persist in it, Other
differences of opinion have arisen.
Mr.. Barrett has announced his inten.
ton of securing the opinion of the at.
torney general on all mooted points
for inclusion in the forthcoming re.
vised edition OF the school laws Of
the state, with annotations.

The socialists have filed amend
Inents to their petition for an injunc-
ton to restrain the city from trans.
ferring $4,000 from the water works
fund to the water company for the
purpose of constructing a water main
to the army post The amendment
was made necessary by the change
in the city administration since the
suit was first commenced, The So
cialists also add one or two sections
TO the petition, declaring that the
transfer of the funds would be con.
trary to the constitutions of the state
and of the United States. First 1t is
declared that the act of the legislature
authorizing the transfer is in conflict
with section ] OF article Z of the con.
stitution, in that it authorizes the
city to assume and become responsible
for the debts of a private company,
which power is forbidden to the state,
and which cannot be delegated TO the
city. II is also alleged that the law
is in conflict with section of article
1 of the constitution of the state and
with the fourteenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States, in
that it discriminates in favor of water
companies in cities where there is a
military reservation, such a class
ification being alleged to be arbitrary.
Notice has been served on all OF the
city officials.

The banks of Des Moines have de-
sided to bring suit to test the consti.

bank stock, as interpreted by City
Solicitor Bremner. Nearly every bank
in the city has filed written protests
with the board of review at the city
hall The board, however. to man

solicitor, and all the banks can do is
TO take the matter into the courts.

ton Of offsetting the holdings Of gov
eminent bonds against the capital
stock, thus decreasing the assessment.
The national banks have never been
allowed to do this. State and saving
banks have. The national banks
claim that they have been discrim.

vised that neither cleo Of banks be
allowed to Offset their bonds, and the
board has taken that position.

is the limit OF average usefulness. This
seems to be borne out by the figures
which show that only per cent of the
II .657 Government employees in the city
of Washington were seventy years of
age and over. This is the result by the
present system of what might be term
ed natural selection. Some II these
aged employees are held in office
through sympathy. That sympathy
may be eliminated the Commission
proposes that a system Of compulsory
insurance be instituted among civil
service officers, they being required b.
regulation to set aside a portion OF
their salary each month over against
the time when the steady advance OF
time arbitrarily puts them on the list
OF unavailable material.
There is a great deal OF nonsense ir
the attempt to place an arbitrary limit
upon the working capacity OF employees
or officials in any walk Of life. In
stances are not wanting of clear-head
ed professional men and vigorous la
borers who have passed evei the fou

Its managers, and in part on the re-
suits of the recent Investigation of the

surance Department. which terminal
ed SO satisfactory. Our report shows
your company In control Of a large
line of business and In an excellent
condition, and the report is so favor
able in character and from such a

you may frequently find II to the adj
vantage Of your business to refer man
ufacturers, bankers, and large deal
ers, who have access to these reports
directly TO Bradstreet's.
