duction Of the size of the council, and
the abandonment of those members

suggested In the method OF assess
nlents for street and other improve
ments urged by the city solicitors in
the interest of simplicity, and some
substantial amendments are planned
bearing upon the council, it's powers
and the adoption Of ordinances.
The commission has used the present
code as basis but has Incorporated
the administrative feature of the gem
orally approved Pugh-Kibler code.
The report suggests simplicity and
flexibility, which can take in cities
from 5000 to 100000 population. 1t
places the responsibility on the mayor,
board of public service, board of public
safety and solicitor, The plan makes

tional Municipal League and will pe
urged on the legislature when 1t meets
in January, for all the cities in the
state.

Of regents, enclosing the Freer offer,
copies of which letters were made
public from the White House tonight.
President Roosevelt says:
II hope that the regents OF Smith.
sonian will feel warranted to close
with the offer; for they are national
guardians of such q collection. If in
slr wisdom they don't see their way
to accent the gift I shall then be
obliged to take some other method
endeavoring to prevent the loss to the
United States government and there
fore to the people of the United
States, one Of the most valuable col
lections which any private individual
has ever given to any people"

WOULD EQUAL TAXES
OF THE THREE YEARS
Examiner Bliss Compares the Amount
of Illegal Fees Of the Past
Ten Years.

Columbus, O., Dec. 25.-John A..
Bliss, of Canton, who, with E. A. Do
yer, made the examination of B'rankin
county offices, has refused to give out
anything in detail, though he discuss
ed the matter in general way
He gives 1t as his opinion that the
complete report will not be finished
before Feb, /. If then, Each item is
taken up by the bureau for considera-
ton. With the findings of fact the
bureau has nothing to do; they come
directly from the records; but as for
Mr.. Bliss conclusions of law, each
will be taken up In the various items
and passed upon
After that is done, the report must
be typewriter, and it is thought there
will be at least five hundred typewrit-
ten foolscap pages. The typewriter
matter then goes to the binders to ve
placed in durable form.
Mr.. Bliss in general discussion of
his work explained more fully the
statement that the report did not
cover the illegal fees in civil matters
and he declared that in his opinion II
all the illegal fees and the unnecces-
sary money paid out during the past
ten years could all be collected it
would not be necessary to collect Saxes
in Franklin county for the next three
years.
He said also that a county the size
of Franklin should have one man, who
would do nothing else but pass on the
fees paid to officials, It would keep
one man busy all the time. Such an
official in Mr.. Bless opinion, could
be paid $500 year and would save
to the county three times that amount
exclusive of his salary.

as Leader, lVeaoWay bebeves.
Cleveland, O., Dec. 25.-In the opin-
ion Of former State Representative
Francis w. Treadway, Congressman
Theodore Il. Burton is the one man
in Ohio to whom the Republicans of
the state must look as a leader. Mr..
Treadway believes that Mr.. Burton
represents all of the ideals that are
now being demanded in public men
by the people of the state, While
he did not directly mention their
names, Mr.. Treadway made 1t clear
that in his opinion the leadership
of Senators Foraker and Dick is now
at an end.
"To me-" he said. Congressman
Burton appears to be the coming man
Of the party in Ohio. The men who
are now recognized as the heads Of
the Republican party in the state will
not he so recognized two or four
years hence. There will be a new
deal, both locally and through the
state, in the affairs of the Republican
party"
Mr., Treadway is the newly elected
president of the Tippecanoe club, the
we'll known Republican organization
which for years was backed by the
late Senator Hanna.
