Governor Hughes Appoints a Commit
tee of Nine for the Work

Albany. n. Y, Dec. 15.-Governor
Hughes has announced the appoint
ment of a committee of nine, consisting
of bankers, business men and econo-
mists, to inquire into the facts sur
rounding the business of exchanges in
New York.
The commission is to serve without
compensation and has been asked by
the governor to report as early as
practicable. To each member Cover
nor Hughes sent letter, which read:
"At the last session of the legislature
I recommended that provision be made
for suitable inquiry into the facts re-
lating to speculation in stocks and
commodities with the view of aScer-
tanning the manner in which transac-
ton might be prevented and legitimate
business safeguarded.- AS l stated in
accepting denomination I had in mind
in making this recommendation such
an expert inquiry as was made into
the banking conditions, the result of
which was the passage of highly
beneficial measures. In this common
wealth the vast commercial and finan-
cial transactions Of which are repre-
scented the activities of the entire
country. it is of the utmost Importance
that legislation affecting business and
exchange should be the result of de-
liberate study and that we should
neither threaten business stability by
i'll considered measures or on the other
hand invite agitation or impair con-
fdence by ignoring abuses and by fail
ing to provide suitable correction.
ut is with this view that L request
you to act as committee for the pur-
pose of collecting facts, receiving sug-
gestions and making such recon-
mendations as may seem to you fitting
with regard to the following question:
"'What changes. if any. are advis-
able in the laws of the state bearing
upon speculation in securities and
commodities or relating to the protec-
ton of investors; or with regard to the
instrumentalities and organization used
ties which are the subject of specula-
ton
1T is not my intention to limit you
to the consideration of any phase of
matter submitted and I am confident
that your carefully formed opinion
being those of men known for their
interest in public questions and their
acquaintance with affairs and accred-
tied to the community by high repu-
tation, will be of the greatest value.
Il must ask this public service with
out offer of compensation or indemnity
for expense as 1 have no authority to
subject the state to any obligation in
connection with your appointment, but
know that your generous action in
serving the community will be highly
appreciated and will afford another
and most welcome illustra ton of the
public spirit of our citizens.
Il shall be glad to receive your re-
port at rs early a date as you may find
practicable"
Governor Hughes recommended to
the extra session this year that a SINH
lar commission be appointed, but the
legislative committee 10 which the
recommendation was referred failed to
report it.

enumeration last spring was 14OO,
and her school enrolls sos pupils.
Cement walks are being extended

been added to tie Oakland Wooden

COMMISSION PLAN.
What the City of Topeka May Have
TO Come To

To the Editor of the State Journal
1 have read with considerable inter-
est the editorials in the State Journal
concerning the proposed commission
form of government for Topeka and de-
sire to make one SuggeStiO which /
think should be considered by you and
others who are interested in this move.
We have already reached the place
where if we continue the present form
of city government we must make a
proper provision for the meeting of
the council and the doing of committee
work in the daytime.
At the present time all of the legiS-
lative work of the city and nearly all
of the committee work of the council
is done between the hours of o'clock
p. m. and midnight, and it nearly al
ways happens that the most important
work which the council has to do, is
forced upon it at a late hour of night,
after the councilmen have disposed of
routine business.
Any one familiar with the work of
our mayor and council during the last
few years, will agree with me that they
have done an immense amount of hard,
honest work for this city and that near
ly all of it has been done after bust
ness hours.
given, councilmen could not give out of
the business part of thesday, time to
do the work that they are compelled to
do My Judgment is, that if we retain
the present system. we will soon be
compelled to raise the salaries of coun-
cilmen and to provide ample and pro-
per time for the doing of their work
expense would be much larger than
that proposed by the commission plan

again for their old positions.

Whitcomb is new at the game but this
season showed great form at tackle

as fast springer as there is on the team
just as he is needed most. schmidt is a
half back but didn't show much this sea-
son. although he looks promising
1t is from the freshmen team, however.
that Washburn expects to draw most or
her recruits for next season. Adams who
played fullback on this team during the
season just past seems to be the m osr
promising candidate for this position. He
is fast, runs good interference and hits
the line hard, McCarroll is a good man
for fullback. but as he is light and fast
he is a strong candidate for one of the
ends next season. For quarterback there
are two candidates in Walworth and Col
vile. Walworth is a good kicker and
uses good headwork and will likely have
the call on that position. COlville is
strong man. however, and should he fail
to make the quarterback position Will be
used at half back. Mcfarland can be
used in the line or at fullback. There is
no scarcity of material for fullback. the
position which caused so much trouble
during the season just past.
George Willard. an old high school play
er. will enter Washburn during the sec
ond term and will be a candidate for the
fullback position. He is also good
place kicker something which Washburn
didn't have this rear. Another player of
whom a great deal is expected is Cowden.
now assistant secretary of the Y. NJ. G.
A. but who was formerly tackle on the
university team. Cowden
will enter school in February and will be
eligible.
With all this material, Washburn should
make a record in 1909.
