TWO PLANKS TN
HIS PLATFORM
GOVERNOR VAN SAINT WILL
URGE FAVORED MEASURES.
He Will Work This Year for the
Passage of the 4 Per Cent Gross
Earnings Billie Also Fayors Ex-
tension of Primary Law to Include
State Officers.

Governor Van SAINT is out Of poll
Tics, as far as being a candidate for
office goes, but he has not lost. his in
terest In state affairs, and he will
make his influence felt in behalf Of
two measures he deems Of great i'm
portance. They are the 4 per cent
gross earnings tax bill, and the ex-
tension of the primary election law
SO as to include state officers. Not
being a candidate for office himself,
he IS free to devote his attention to
these reforms.
| shall do what I can to get the
voters to pay due attention to the
gross earnings BILL said Governor
Van SAINT this morning. Il regret that
the question was left out of the plat
form this year. 1t was a part of the
platform on which I made my fight
two years ago. 1t was not given as
much attention then as it should have
had, owing to the antiberger, contro-
yersy, and so failed to get the neces-
sary votes.
1 am also In favor Of extending the
primary election law to include state
offlcers. Not being a candidate my
self, I am free to urge this Improve
ment. [ know there are differences Of
opinion as to the merits Of the law,
and 1t might be improved in some
particulars, but it is good in principle,
and it is the best system yet devised
for doing away with the influence Of
ward heelers and caucus bosses"
The governor is inclined to think
that some amendment should be de-
vised to do away with minority candi-
dates winning nominations. He is ia
vorably impressed with the plan Of
the second primary at which the
voters will take their choice between
the two candidates who were highest
on the first vote. However, he says
details are a matter to be worked out
later, and he stands for the extension
OF the primary system. Since the re-
cent convention experience, he is con-
WINGED that it ought to apply to state
officers.

HURRYING CONTRACTORS
Board of Education Offers Bonus TO
Prompt Construction.

A meeting Of the building committee OF
the board Of education was held this af-
ternoon to review the work in progress
and to let a few small contracts. There
was much delay last fall in completing the
various additions and the opening Of sew
eral schools was not possible until several
weeks after the school term began. The
board hopes to prevent a recurrence OF
this next fall and to encourage the con-
tractors to their best efforts have offered
a bonus of S25 for every day their work is
completed in advance of the contract
time.
1t is known that the Adams school can
not be opened before Oct. /. AS the pu-
pills were deprived Of five or six weeks OF
schooling last spring, their vacation will
be an unusually long one. It is hoped
however, that the additions to the Clay
and Calhoun schools, with the new rooms
at the Central High and East High
schools, will be in readiness by the first
day Of the new school year. 49,

BUSY GREEN GOODS MEN
The City Is Fairly Flooded With Thel
Seductive Circulars.

9
Circulars advertising counterfeit green
backs have been deluging the postoffice
authorities for the past few days. Many
of the recipients Of the letters turn them
over to the rostoffice officials and they
are sent to the headquarters at Washing
ton. Yesterday nearly bagful was
shipped back. The greengoods men seem
to work a city at time.
The circulars contain the usual counter
felt matter There is a circular stating
what the price of the goods will be and
directions for obtaining the bills. The
letters all come from New York, and a
printed telegraph form Is enclosed. The
victim is directed to dispatch the tele-
gram, which will mean that he intends to
buy some Of the counterfeits. When this
is received he is told to proceed to New
York. He meets the supposed counter
feiters, but never receives the goods. Thru
some Juggling he sees good money and
a bundle Of brown paper is substituted
for It.
