STUDY REVENUE
AND EXPENSES
Secretary M0tt-Smith Is the
Watchdog of the
Treasury.

Secretary Mott-Smith Is now engaged
in a careful study and report Of the
revenue for the year for current &C
count, in its relations to the appro-
priations for the various departments
and for all purposes out Of current
funds. This is q study and report
similar TO that made some time ago in
regard 10 the loan funds and loan ap-
propriations.
The expenditures up TO December 81,
1907, have been reported and the con-
dition on that date Of every appropria-
ton is considered. At the same time
comparison is made between the
amount Of revenue received this year
in comparison with that received up
20 the same time IN other years.
The object is to keep perfect knowl-
edge of how the appropriations are
holding out, and TO so husband re-
sources as to keep expenditures in all
directions within appropriations and at
the same time to secure FROM the ap-
preparation all that was expected from
st at the time ii was made.

Editor Advertiser: The only free
portion of the Makik cemetery is at
the north corner, a little strip one
hundred feet wide and three hundred
long Within these narrow bounds
there are hundreds of graves. They
are crowded and crisscrossed SO that
every foot is occupied. and there is
not space left for one single burial
place There are no walks or path
ways, no fioweF-beds, no free open
spaces It is a pitiable condition of
affairs and one that does no credit 10
this community.
There is no residence directly above
this portion of the cemetery. The
nearest residence faces away from il
and is two hundred feet distant
An extension of fifty feet in the
bounds of this little Gods acre would
give to the INDECENT the right of COM
mon burial, which they are now prac-
ticaIly denied. through civic indiffer-
ence as wen as lack of land. In the
meantime, while we are discussing and
reporting and resolving, there is not
one foot of soil left where the landless
poor may bury their dead

Commission on School Laws.
Governor Cummins has announced
the appointment of Prof. Frederick q.
Bolton of Iowa City, William H. Baily
or Des Moines, and Arthur Springer
OF Columbus junction as members OF
the commission to recodify and re-
wise the school laws of the state.
This commission was created by the
last legislature and will report to the
assembly of 1909.
The creation of the commission.
was recommended by State Superin.
tendent Riggs The law under which
it has being provides that 1t shall be
composed of one educator and two
practicing attorneys. Professor Boil
ton is one of the most prominent edu-
Gators In the state. He is at the head
OF the department of education of the
state university. Baily and Springer
nave been long in the practice of the
law and each has had more or less
experience in connection with the
school laws, as members of school
boards, and in other capacities. The
three have a deep interest in the well
fare Of the schools.
The law provides that the commits.
sion shall meet at the capitol and
organize before Jan. /, 1908. The
commissioners will receive So a day
and actual expenses while in session
and be in session at their own pleas
ure. They may employ clerical as
sistance and the superintendent shah
print their report. The cost of the
recodification is fixed at not to ex->'
coed $4,000.
The law fixes the duty of the oom.
mission to be as follows: 1t "shall
nave power to rearrange, revise and
codify the existing laws relating to
the public schools and recommend
additional needed legislation"
1T has been the opinion of the edu-
Gators of the state that the commits
sion would devote its attention chiefly
TO the work of defining the high school
in Iowa and determining the char
acter of its work.
Under present statutes the high
school has no legal status in this
state. 1t has grown into its present
proportions in response to popular
demand on one side and the demand
Of the higher educational institutions
on the other. The courses have been
expanded more and more until the
high school has become a college pre-
paratory.
There now is a demand that the
high school shall become the effective
agency for completing the education
OF children. 1t is the final school
which nine-tenths of the pupils of the
school attend.
1t is understood that the commits
sion will have before it the task of
devising the reconstruction of the
high school to meet the popular de-
mand and to make it's work of char
acter which will fit the girls ard Boys
which graduate from it, and most Of
whom never go to college, to earn
their living.
The second important problem be-
fore the commission will be the re-
construction of the rural school sys-
tenn ta

Against certIfication Law.

President Lark of the State Teach
ers' association has put on the com.
mittee on resolutions of the organi-
cation several bitter opponents of the
new teachers certification law. Edu-
Gators say that majority of the
members of the committee are Oh.
posed to it. The committee is headed
by Superintendent F. L. Smart of
Davenport and other men understood
to be prepared to fight the statute
have been added to support him.
1t was in Davenport that the origi
nal fight against the certification law
was started. 1t was bitter contest
and got into the last session of the
teachers association.

Report On Two-Cent Fares.

Much interest centers in the reports
which the railroad will shortly make
OF the passenger business during the
six months ending Jan. 4, showing
the effect of the 2-cent fare law
adopted by Iowa and other states. 1t
is expected that the report will in
clude the figures for corresponding
periods OF previous years for compar-
alive purposes. While no definite in
formation is yet obtainable, it is be-
teyed that all, or nearly all, of the
roads operating in this state will show
IN increase in the volume of passen-
ser business in Iowa and an increase
IN the net profits on it despite the
lower general rate at which it was
handled
The 2-cent fare law became effective
July 4, 1907. and it is known that
during the first four months the pas
senger receipts of most of the roads
we're considerably greater than for the
corresponding period of 1906. Rail-
road officials were surprised at the in
crease in travel and generally were
willing to admit that it was princip-
ally due to the lower rates stimulat
ing travel.

Counties Cannot Become Uniform.

Counties Cannot Become Uniform.
The Legislative commission created
to make up forms for county offices
in order to have a uniform system
OF bookkeeping and blanks through
out the state, has been holding a
session in Des Moines the past week.
1t has adjourned but will meet again
In the spring. In the meantime the
blanks will be sent out by the auditor
Of state as fast as they are gotten out
by the state printer
Theoretically, the commission waax
supposed to have gotten all the blank
and forms into the hands of the coun4
~ officers in time to permit the open
Ing of the 1908 business on uniform
basis. What the commission insists
are unavoidable delays has made this
impossible. On account of it consider
able criticism has fallen ON the devot-
ed heads Of the members of the COM
mission. One of the most bitter at,
tacks emanated from Council Bluffs,
where the uniform accounting scheme
originated.

Indications Of a Record Vote
Cast To-day
REPUBLICANS WILL WIN
But It Is Probable That the Plurality
For Fernald Will Be Cut Down
Below 7o,ooo-Gardner Is
Still Hopeful.

Portland, Nc, Sept fAy--Indian sum
mer weather is bringing out a record
vote in Maine The Republicans hold
that the weather aids their chances.
There is but little doubt of the results
but IL will be unusually close. Two
thirds of the total vote was polled in
Cumberland county before noon. SINH
lar reports were received from other
parts OF the state.
The Republican candidate for COVER
nor, Bert NJ. Fernald, was claiming that
lie would receive plurality in the
neighhorhood of 10000 but others in
his own party expressed the fear that
the vote would bc cut down because
many voters would desert because Of
their belief in the resubmission of the
liquor question. Reports throughout
the state said that many Republicans
we're going TO vote the Democratic
ticket for that reason.
Democratic leaders claimed that their
party candidate. Obadiah Gardner,
would be elected by safe margin.
Since 1850 the Republicans have won
by plmalities averaging about $4,000 in
presidential years In "oH years" the
Republican plurality has averaged a
triile under 10000. Last election Gov.
ernor Cobb got 26,sl6 plurality out Of
i31 .4s6.
