To Adopt st. Louis Type.

The committee has been making care

now proposes to adopt the st. Louis type
which is fireproof in all save the roof.
In the course of discussion. it was fur

of danger here now is less than that in

In the building thirty minutes before the
opening and thirty minutes after the
closing hours of the schools.
In the matter of the Commissioners

forts of this committee to secure the IN
corporation of the Convention Han AS
ISOLATION were neutralized by the indls-
position on the part of Congress TO re-
lieve the ground secured as site Tor
such hall from assessment for taxation.
1t was the belief of this committee than
if the citizens of the District of Columbia,
through subscription or otherwise. secured
the construction of a large convention
hall the federal government might rea-
sonably be asked to release the property
upon which 1t stood from taxation. 1t
might be stated in this connection that
the amount of money saved to the gov
eminent by the use of such a structure at
the time of presidential inaugurations In
lieu of the pension office would be far In
excess of any amount which might be
realized from taxes. The committee Is
still strongly of the belief that con-
vention hall ought to be erected here.
and it believed that the minimum amount
of assistance which ought to be AFFORDED
by the federal government was embraced
in the proposition above stated. especially
as the amount necessary to purchase the
site and erect the building must necessa-
rily be very large.

To Mr. Weinberg I will tell
Why my grocer does not sell

Its because he does not know

Who are quite as ignorant
OF the quality and kind
Sold by Weinberg every time.
If he would but read the news
Printed in The Evening Star
He would see what every one
Thinks of Meinberg'S bread and buns
That they are the best that's made
So il is by thousands said.
And think they ought to know.
AS they have tried all kinds of dough
That is baked and sold as bread:
But when they have once tried Mein-

They'll have no other. as l have said.
So if my grocer would only read
He would soon find out what the peo-

That it's MeInberg's bread and buns

Exemption From Taxation.

IF. in the judgment Of the Board of
Trade. 1t is deemed advisable to secure
the act of incorporation with the clause
regarding the exemption from taxation
omitted. the committee will undertake to
secure the legislation and will work ear
nestly to secure the erection of the hall
even with the entire burden assumed by
the people of the District.
This report is cOncurred in by all the
members of the committee except two.
Mr.. John II. Magruder states that his
original resolution did not contemplate ex-
emption from taxation, and he thinks the
whole matter ought to be referred back to
the Board of Trade.
Mr.. William T. Galliher. another mem
Der of the committee. is of the opinion
that no action ought to be taken by the
Board of Trade or any other organization
unless the cooperation of Congress Is as
sured. He believes that the burden ought
not to be borne entirely by the people of
the District.

committee he recited that the budget for
the District of Columbia will pass to the
House Just as it left the subcommittee,
without the addition of a single dollar,
except to meet changes which had come
about since the bill was agreed upon.
He emphasized the fact of the whole
committee standing for a report from
subcommittee member of which has
any financial interest or owns a dollars
worth of property in the District.
He said ii is wonderful that a
community like this will stand for action
of the kind dsposing of it's revenues and
regulating its affairs. without regard to
its wishes If it were not for one or two
things, the chief of which Is that the
ma ton itself pays half the expenses. and
therefore has the right to a voice. I'VE

reason why the District has confidence in
Congress as its municipal legislature
The amount paid by the rest of the
citizens of this country toward the eX

in trying to provide for what was wanted

vices of the Metropolitan five years
ago as agent, and after being an agent
for a period of Il little over Il year, the
company promoted Mr.. Campbell 10
assistant superintendent in the Salt
Lake office, whore he remained as an
assistant for one year, fulfilling ms
duties with much credit to himself and
TO the satisfaction of the company He
was then promoted to take charge Of
the Ogden office, where he remained
until now, two years and eight months.
This promotion is q well merited one,
and IN compliment to his allaround
ability, which he we'll demonstrated
during the last five years in the various
capacities.
Mr.. Campbell leaves with the very
best wishes from the entire Salt Lake
staff, and as q token of remembrance

following inscription on the locket, j.
A. Campbell from the Salt Lake staff,

From, all the indications in evil
dence at this time, it is practically
certain that the next legislature will
enact law covering the important
question of ife insurance. The legis-
lative committee of the Utah Associ-
alton Of Life Underwriters is already
actively engaged in securing data and
facts to submit to the insurance
branch of both legislative bodies, and
hope to secure this session an earlier
consideration of the matter than two
years ago. when the rush of business
at the last moment resulted In the fail
ure OF important plans The life men
measure proposed and favored two
years ago, and 1t covers nearly all
the vital needs and Is similar to those
in many other states.
Have you fathers, who didn't buy In
surance until your age made the rate
burdensome thought how fine a thing
it would be to start your boy out with
an insurance policy while he can get
the lowest rate? The old line COM
panies accept risks at fifteen A S.
600 or $1,000 policy on the Repayment
life plan would mature at age thirty
five. Can you think of any better In
vestment than that from fifteen to
thirty-five? Think about it., fathers,
who put off starting until thlrty-tve
or forty.
