LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT

The article on the Legislative Depart
ment contains many changes. the most
important of which can be but imperfectly
stated within Gthe limits of this memo
randum.
The House will be elected biennially,
as heretofore, but beginning with 1907
the entire Senate will be elected quad
renniallN. The Senators will not be elect
ed in the same year with the Governor
and other executive officers. This ar
rangement avoids any extreme either of
radicalism or conservatism.
To keep official functions separate those
holding Federal or State Offices are to be
ineligible to membership.
For obvious reasons the General AS
sembly is prohibited from electins it's
own members to Office, nor can they be
appointed to office. The people. how
ever. may elect them to Office.
The sessions will begin on Nthe second
Wednesday in January, a Christmas re-
cess being thus avoided, and will con-
tinue sixty instead of ninety days. This
will result in a heavy reduction of ex-
penditures.
The vice of llasty, ill-matured and sur
reptitious legislation is sought to be cor
rected by provisions requiring. among
other things, that bills shall be printed
and actually considered in committee,
read at length on different days. and
passed by a recorded vote of at least
two-ii1ths OF the members of each house.
The burdens of the body are lightened
and the occupation of the lobby largely
destroyed by forbidding the enactment
of special, local and private laws in a
number of cases. as. for instance, grant
ing charters and pensions.
In order that there may be timely in
formation of what the General Assem-
bly, has done, laws are not to go into
effect until ninety days a1ter the adj
journnent
Another item Of expense will be saved
by the provision that the clerks and the
employees shall he compensated on the
per diem basis and not by salaries
The General Assembly is to safeguard
the financial interests OF the State by
appointing an Auditing Committee. with
vacation powers, charged with the duty
of examining with the aid of experts,
the Offices where money is handled and
accounts Kept involving the State reve-
nue..
It is my belief that the changes made
will increase the dignity and usefulness
of the General Assembly and assist ma
terially in the unending struggle for good
government. +. WALTON MOORE.

result IN an awakening of n deeper and
more general interest in the improve

.. 1t is believed that the constitution
of the State Board of Education will re-
move the public schools from politics
and put their management on higher
plane than heretofore. In the past the
board consisted of the Governor, the
Attorney-General. and the State superin-
tendent OF Public Instruction. There are

TAFT oIvEe CREDIT TO ARMY.
General Luna Was AosassInated by
Direct Order of A~guinaIdo.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Governor
Taft today continued his narrative be.
fore the senate committee on the
Philippines concerning conditions in
the Philippine archipelago.
Referring to his testimony Of yes.
terday he said he feared that he had
given a wrong impression concerning
the part the army had played in
bringing the insurrection to an end,
but if SO, this vas due to the fact that
he could not present a correct impress
sion of the whole situation from one
point of view. Then, in order to give
the army It's just dues, he took up
and analysed its work in the islands.
He recalled hat as soon as General
Otis had received r~einforcements suf,
ficient for his purposes the Philippine
army had broken up and scattered into
guerrilla bands. On this point Agui-
naldo and Luna had differed, Luna ad-
~vocating the continuance of the wal
on the old lines. So sharp was this
difference, he said. that A~guinaldo had
directed and secured the assassination
of Luna, thus leaving the way open
for the carrying out of his own plans.
He would not, he said, report the Incl,
dent If it had not been positively re-
ported to him by General Funston.
AguinaldO said that if he did not kill
Luna, Luna would kill him. Indeed,
the custom was to order a mans death
in his absence and have him killed
upon his return. The presence Of
these guerrilla bands rendered it nee
essary to place garrisOns everywhere,
there being at one time as many as
500 of them. This made the work be-
fore the army very arduous, and the
activity, the skill and bravery of the
American troops were such as to oOn
render the enemy tired of the war
fare.

They Say the Land There Is the Finest
on Earth.
A great number Of delegates have
been influenced through the agency Of
Mr.. ]. s. Crawford, the Canadian gov
ernment representative at Kansas
City, to visit western Canada, and
whether from Missouri or Kansas the
story is always the same-they are
pleased with the new country being
opened up. Isaac H. Levagood writes
from Didsbury, Alberta, as follows:
Il met three delegates from Kansas
yesterday at Didsbury, and took them
home with me and took them out in
she afternoon and showed them some
of the finest land that lays On top Of
Gods green earth. They are more
than pleased with this country. They
stayed with me last night; this morn
ing l took them to Didsbury, and
they went on north. When they come
back they are coming to my place and
I am going to help them to run some
lines and they are going to locate in
sight of my house. There have been
over 1900 acres of land changed hands
here in our neighborhood this spring.
When l located here last fall ] was
the furthest back of any Of the set
tiers; to-day l am in the center Of the
settlement. We have ~thirty-six chill
dren that are of school age in Jul dis
trict, and we will have u school dis
trict organized next month, when we
will proceed to build our schoolhouse.
The longer we stay here the better we
like the country; that is the way with
everybody here. they all seem to be
satisfied and doing well. l have
talked with a great many men here
and they told me that they had less
than $50 when they got here, and to-
day they have got 100 acres of good
land and five or six hundred dollars
worth of stock. Crops are looking
fine here. l think this will be a good
winter wheat country. One Of my
neighbors has d small piece and it
looks fine"
