The council committee last
night, after disposing of the
vexatious Ide avenue matter, re-
solved itself into a funeral concern
for the permanent burial of lot
of old matter which has clogged

lowing matters on file:

HOLD EXPENSES DOWN ITO
REGULAR APPROPRIATIONS
/ ORDERED OUT FoR PASSAGE.

II the city during next year over
steps its appropriations. the bur
den is squarely upon the shoulders
of the mayor and city comptroller.
An ordinance by Councilman
Schiller was reported out Of the
committee last night for final pas
sage at a regular meeting. 1T pro-
vides for appointment by the
mayor of a purchasing agent who
shall make all purchase of supplies
not bid for Every purchase must
have the mayors approval. Requi-
sitions must then so to the comp
troller, who shall see that the de-
partment ordering the, supplies is
not exceeding its appropriation. If
not excessive, he shall endorse the
requisition. If so, he refuses en-
dorsement and the matter goes to
the city council.
Councilman Schiller said the
new law was in main a copy of
the old ordinance. 1t was meant to
prevent departments spending
their whole appropriations at once.
He explained that departments
still have the redress of going be-
fore the city council and asking
special appropria tons.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Nov. IL
Mrs. Albion Bacon, a society WON
an of this city, has written a law
for the state of Indiana, which,
with the united support of charity
organizations and politicians
throughout the state. seems des-
tined to pass the legislature.
"She is only a woman" her
friends said, when, a year ago, she
announced her determination to
get state tenement act. Now she
has brought them to a realization
of what "only a woman" can do,
when she has energy and determi-
nation.
First, with the assistance of the
Monday night club, local philan-
thropic organization, she put a
tenement ordinance through the
Evansville council. Then she
undertook the passage of a state
law. AT the national conference
of charities and corrections, at
Richmond, Va, she won the sup
port of men of national reputation,
like Alex. ackson, secretary of the
conference; Jacob Riis and K. T..
Hartman, secretary of the Massa-
chusetts Civil league.
She personally secured the
pledges of both recent candidates
for governor, James E. Watson and
Thomas E. Marshall, that they
would stand by her measure. She
won the approval of Amos Butler.
secretary of the state charities
board.
Instead of taking a summer va
cation, Mrs. Bacon spent months
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-11-17

studying the laws of England and
Germany. She went on a tour of
small Indiana towns and villages to
study conditions. She addressed
the state conference of charities at
South Bend. The conference pass
ed resolution in favor of the law.
She won the support of the Indian
apolis Commercial club, a powerful
organization.
MY Investigations throughout
the state disclosed need for imme-
diate action" said Mrs. Bacon. Il
discovered nearly every village has
it's incipient slum conditions. The
presence of hundreds of dark living
rooms is a menace.
The law framed by Mrs. Bacon
is expected to become a national
pattern, as it is the first in the
country to be statewide in effect.
1t deals principally with tenement,
lodging and apartment houses.
Buildings may occupy only GER
tain per cent of a lot, adequate
window space must be provided, a
minimum size of room is specified.
Halls must be properly lighted;
apartment houses may be only of a
certain height Good drainage and
water supply will be required.
1t will affect house now stand
ing. New windows will have to
be cut in many dark homes in In
diana, and drainage and water
supply provided. Receptacles for
garbage and ashes must be fur
nished. The number Of people
who may occpy a room is limited
by its size.

HAZELTINE TAKES
COSGROVE'S JOB

OLYMPIA, Nov. IF. A. Ha-
zeltine, editor of the South Bend
Journal, has been appointed regent
of the University of Washington
to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation Of Governor-eiect Co.'S
grove.
The appointment was made as
the result of a request of Mr.. Co.'S
grove and is undoubtedly one of
the matters considered at the con-
ference of Meade and Cosgrove
at Pomeroy before his departure
for California.
A striking commentary of the APP
pointment is that only last week
Hazeitine published an editorial
criticising the governors alleged
actions in endeavoring to hold
over as governor.

A recent issue of the Lewiston
Tribune contained an article to the
effect that as our old friend John
MCGEE was returning to his home in
Vollmer from a trip over the prairie
ne discovered a strange and myster-
ious light lowering over Mason
Butte. We don't know where John
had been, but are of the opinion he
had not been in Nezperce as the

have that effect. The next report
will probably state that he saw a

Port Byron, H., Feb. 17.-Editor
Argus: In the local option debate
financial considerations must not be
overlooked. These are indeed of least
Importance intrinsically, but they ap-
peal to a large number of voters and
therefore, to be reckoned with.
A recent Argus writer presents the
commercial Importance of the saloon
in tabulated form. We reproduce the
table, somewhat condensed, giving the
nearest amounts in million dollars.
The liquor industry consumes annu-
ally corn worth $27,25O,OOO; barley,
SCI, $50, 900; rye, s4,O9O,OOO; other pro-
ducts, $16,333, 900; pay for labor, $54,-
100000; fuel, s5,00O,OOO; equipment,
$3.50, 100000; insurance, S15,0U0,0 900;
transportation, 100000 900; license and
tax, $139,OOO,OO0; total, $4,000, 900.
A very tidy sum, representing the
liquor industry's contribution to the
national prosperity.
We are expected to accept these
figures, but we find the value of corn
placed at 75c per bushel, and barley
at $1.00. Every person having the
least knowledge of farming knows that
in the state of Illinois for the last 40
years these are the high water marks.
The actual range of price has been
from these figures down to 3Oc for
corn, and soc to Coo for barley. Of
course the correction would amount to
| little in the grand total. 1t only in
spires the suggestiOn-are the other
values cOrrespondingly inflated?

Roosevelt and CorteIyou.

If President Roosevelt is sincere in
his professed determination to destroy
the alliance between corrupt business
and corrupt politics." why does he al
low George B. Cortelyou to remain in
his cabinet as secretary of the treas
ury. President Roosevelt knows Mr..
Cortelyou's record as a collector of
campaign tribute from the great cor
porations. He knows that as chair
man of the republican national com
mittee four years ago, Mr.. Cortelyou
took political contributions from the
immense life insurance companies
from E. H. Hartman, from railroads,
from national tanks, from the Stand
ard Oil company. He knows that dur
ing the financial panic in New York
Mr. Cortelyou practically turned the
United States treasury over to the
Morgan-R ockefeiler-Ryan interests and
that through the medium of favored
banks the money of the American peo
pie was used not to protect legitimate
