RATE FIXERS SPLIT
Joint Committee Is Unable to
Formulate Report

After three hours spent in executive
session yesterday afternoon, the legis-
lative joint rate investigating commit
tee was unable to agree on it's report.
The committee will meet again at the
call of Chairman A. C. Eberhart, when
1t is hoped to avoid the making of ma
Jority and minority reports to the SEN
ate and house.
= The original report, written by Chair
man Eberhart, was supplemented yes
terday by number of suggestions, and
bills putting the suggestions into effect
from w. d. Washburn Jr., one of the
house members.
One OF the principal obstacles to an
agreement is the bill by Senator Eber-
hart. providing that the changes in
ciassincations and rates ordered by the
state railway commission shall take
immediate effect, pending a decision by
the courts and shall remain in force
until declared illegal by the courts. 1t
Is argued against this that where the
rate is held Illegal by the courts the
railroads have no redress against the
shipper, whereas if the rate is not made
enective at once the shipper can col
lect overcharges If the rates are later
held good.
There is more difference in the rhet-
ORIG. than in the substance of the re-
port said Senator A; r. McGin. on
leaving the committee room last night
Il think we will be able to agree on a
unanimous report"
The committee is not so far apart,
and / believe another meeting will
bring us to a common ground" was the
opinion expressed by Chairman Eber-
hart. The session is drawing to a
close and our report should be in the
hands of the legislature not later than
the beginning of next week If the in
vestigation is TO be of effect"

The first bill taken up was that of
Representative Roberts, which was the
first measure introduced in the house
at this session. 1t is the wide open"
tax law, which provides for constitu-
tional amendment that IL adopted by
the people leaves the Legislature free to
enact any tax law IL may see fit to pass.
1t was subjected to some amend
ments in phraseology, and a clause al
lowing the legislature to declare a per-
sonai property exemption Of $500. in
stead of $500, as might be done under
the present constitution, was inserted
on motion OF Senator Dunn. -
An uncertainty in the language of
the first section attracted the attention
of Senator Wilson, and some one sug-
gested that he find out what Repre-
sentative Roberts meant.

the senators, Senator Wilson left the

amendment. clearing away the uncer-

on the passage of the bill.
1t was passed. by a vote of AZ to q.
The negative votes were cast by Sem
ators Collier, Dart, Dunn, Hardy, Nor

Though there was no debate, the op-
ponents of the bill said to 7 he G I o b e
after adjournment that they voted
against the bill because IT proposed an
amendment to the constitution which,
if adopted, let down the bars and gave
the legislature the privilege TO enact
any kind of taxation.
Senator Wilson's amendment defin-
ing the character of property exempted
from taxation was as follows:
Amend section one % by striking out
the following language:
Property used exclusively for religious,
educational. charitable. cemetery, govern
mental or public purposes" where they
occur in lines seven "a and eight go on

learning, all churches. church property,
houses of worship. institutions of purely
public charity, and public property used
exclusively for any public purpose"

A Lovely Errand.

He was a cherubic youth of four.
with beautiful. blue-eyed counte-
nance and an angelic smile-the kind
of boy that honest persons long in

ming a kindergarten song.

and giving him a hug. HAS your

any little 5rothers?"

(Which one do you like best?"

"Yop. l like Jack best"
And why" asked the young woman,
"do you like Jack best?'

What was that lovely errand?"

AS to Farmers,

The late Senator Quay among his
other varied pursuits, was somewhat
of an agriculturist. One day there was
a discussion among several Of his col
leagues regarding the definition of a
gentleman farmer. Some contended
that farmer was a farmer, and the
matter of his wealth could make no
difference in the name. Presently one
Of the speakers appealed to Quay, and
asked him if he would define the diff
ference between an ordinary farmer
and a gentleman farmer The sena-
tor thought for a minute, and then
said: There's this difference be-
tween the two: One eats what he can
not sell, and the other sells what he
cannot eat."-Harper's Weekly.

I dreamed a dream of beauty,
Of dewy orange bloom,
OF waving plumes Of palms and gusts
Of subtle, sweet perfume;
OF lilies and rare roses
That glistened bright between
Rich banks of brilliant trCpic blooms
That had never seen.
I dreamed about the ocean
And mountains close beside,
Their purple mantles bOrdered by
The silver of the tide.
I dreamed of holy brethren,
OF gentle word and deed,
Who journeyed over half the world
To sow the Lords good seed
To toll till church and cloister
Arose for Christs dear sake.
Though DER the thresholds, in my dream
I saw gold popies break.
And 10, as I was dreaming,
I journeyed swiftly through
Three days and nights-then l aWoke
And found my dreams come true!

MYSTERY OF MONEY
SUBJECT ABOUT WHICH LITTLE
IS REALLY KNOWN.
Proper Methods of Acquiring 1t, or It's
Wisest Use, Are Matters Upon
Which the Wisest Dffer-Has No
Power to Confer Happiness.

For centuries the economists have
been disputing about the definition
and Offices of money, says the Wall
Street Journal. There are almost as
many different theories of money as
there are schools in theology. There
seems to be an immense difficulty in
compromising just what money is,
what it does in facilitating the ex-
changes Of the world and what is it's
influence upon prices. Here is the
most practical and substantial thing in
the world, an article which is in uni
yersal use, and which is most eagerly
sought after by people Of every cline
and race, and yet how little we know
about it! Even now no one can tell
exactly how much currency a country
needs to carry on it's business and how
large should be the reserves of gold
against the bank reserves. Even
bankers, whose business all the time
is to deal in money, as others deal in
merchandise, are liable to become
hopelessly confused in a discussion
regarding the principles which under
lie it's use
Strange to say the confusion which
attends an economic study of money,
also attends any discussion of the
ethics of money. All the philosophy
in the world has not answered the
question Of how much money it is
wise for man to possess. How wide
U ahN1
moral instructors-as to the proper
methods of acquiring wealth. We
even dispute as to the wisest use of
money. We are not agreed as to the
distribution Of money in charity. 1t
would seem as if the commonest, the
most universal tool of man, was the
one thing that plagued him the most.
But this is not all. Useful, indis-
pensable as money is, there is moth.
ing which is more constantly put to
an evil use, or which is more likely
to destroy the man who uses it. There
is something about money which de-
files nearly all who touch it. There
are, indeed, some rare souls that are
immune to its corrupting influence,
but the great body of mankind are
susceptible to it's corrOding power.
Both lack and superiority, both poverty
and riches, seem to destroy the finer
fbers of the soul The individual who
has the most chance of throwing off
moneys baneful influence is he who
stands midway between superiority
and poverty.
Money is a microbe that poisons
the blood and perverts the mind and
heart of a man. No one is happy
without it, and yet no one is really
happy who possesses much of it. The
more one gets the more he wants.
Money getting becomes a passion. 1t
fastens itself upon one like a habit.
Even the opium eater is not more in
control Of a demon than one who has
got the "itch for money" He becomes
a slave to the very thing which is
intended to be his tool. The disease
affects different people differently.
Some it makes sordid, penurious,
mean. Others it leads to lavish dis
play and extravaganza. Some use it
for mere luxury. Others enjoy it for
it's power. Nearly all, in one way or
another, are changed and often pollut.
ed by the possessions of wealth.

GAS And WATER
rs CNE AS NECESSARY AS THE
OTHER?
Citizens of Large Cities Say 1t Is.

New York, June 13.-In the recent
agitation here about the price of gas.
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every
resident is as dependent upon sup
ply of gas as upon a supply of good
water.
1t has come to pass that the day
laborer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account of its
convenience Gas for lighting, with
modern improvements in burners, is
cheaper. better and more satisfactory
than any other kind Of light. Gas
\ lis at $1OO per thousand cubic feet
IN large cities and from that to as
high as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a-set-a-
lene). and each user makes his own
gas and is independent Of Gas and
Electric Companies. Acetylene is a
more perfect iliuminant than the gas
sold by the big gas companies in the
cities, and the cost to the smallest
user is about the equivalent Of city
gas at IS cents per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily
necessities.
The light from an acetylene fame
is soft, steady and brilliant, and in
quality is only rivaled by the suns
rays. If water and a solid material
known as Calcium Carbide are
brought into contact, the immediate
result is the making of this wonder
full gas. The generation of acetylene
is so simple that experience or even
apparatus is not necessary TO make
It. If it is desired to make it for prac-
tical lighting, and to keep it for i'm
mediate use, then small machine
called an "a etylene Generator" is
employed There are many RESPONSE
BILE concerns making acetylene gener-
atOrs In practice, this gas is els
tributed in small pipes throughout
buildings, grounds. or entire cities
and towns, in the same manner as
ordinary city gas. Acetylene is the
only satisfactory means of lighting
isolated buildings located in the coun-
try or suburbs at distance from city
gas or electric plants.
