The passage of a general law prescri5-
ing and requiring Uniform system of
municipal accounting was recommended
by the tax commission to the Legislature
Thursday night The idea is new here
and there is little chance of the enact
ment of such an act. The Senate com
mittee took action after a long hearing
to report the Merton primary election bill
for passage The author of this bill il
the Democratic leader in the Senate and
his bill was selected by the administra-
ton in the hope that he could swing the
votes of his two Democratic colleagues
in favor of the La Toilette measures
There will be a struggle between the stall
warts and La Toilette factions in the
Senate over delaying the consideration
of the bill. The opponents of the Gov
ernor are fighting for delay. The com
mittee report was approved by ma
iority and Senator Whitehead. stalwart
leader dissented. The bill reported pro
vides for the nomination of all State,
legislative. city and coInty officers, also
congressional and United States Senators
by direct vote at a primary election. 1t
is substantially the same as the bill
passed by the Assembly with the ex-
ception that the State convention is re-
tanned for the formulation of the party
platform. The Assembly refused by
vote of SO to 81 to pass the bill exempt
ing the beet sugar factories fcom taxa
ton for twelve years.

time came for the consideration of the
Merton resolution for election of United
States Senators by direct vote Mr.. Mil
Ter moved that action be deferred until
Friday. Mr.. Whitehead moved that it
be amended so as to take up the matter
March %. Mr. Merton said that he did
not see the use of deferring these resolu-
tons further Mr.. Whitehead responded
by stating that he desired the resolu-
tons deferred so as to give the taxation
committees work the right of way. The
vote on the amendment was then taken,
The amendment was adopted by a vote
of 81 to 6. The motion as amended was
the nadopted. Bill 33A (Whitsonj, relat-
ing to second grade certificates, was con-
CURED in. Bills 330S, relating to prop
erty exempt from taxation, and 1865
Wiordan), relating to garnishment, were
passed. In the Assembly :, joint reso-
luton was adopted providing for tho
appointment of joint committee Of sew
en- to investigate the proposed enlarge
ment of the Supreme Court quarters and
report n bill. The COwling anti-gypsy
bill, prohibiting the use of highways for
camping purposes, was passed without
discussion. The bill restricting the sui
eide clause in life insurance policies. on
the calendar for eng ,ssment and third
reading, brought on a discussion, in
which its author, Mr.. Strong, and Messrs.
Gilman, Cady, Ray. Barker and Water
man participated. Mr.. Strong ST ID the
opposition to the bill was SO strong that
further amendment might be necessary
to pass it.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
milk of pure cod liver oil
Win SOME nypOphoSphlteS
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take cit naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
