HE is A GREAT FlNANcIER.
Doubtless There Are Plenty Of Others
Just Like Him.

'T had conversation the other
day." said a well-to-do citizen to the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat with
man who undertook the discussion OF
the currency question and had a pet
theory on the best management of the
government finances, in order to pre-.
vent recurrence of the recent panic"
"My friend is unfortunately of very
limited resources, has large family,
a small salary, and, as | happen to
know, often has difficulty in adjusting
means to ends. This fact, however,
does not prevent his theorizing on the
countrys financial condition, and he
can tell anybody who will listen ex-
actly what the government ought to do
and what the banks ought to do, and
how the two ought to cooperate, in
order to provide an elastic system of
currency which would make our finan-
ces as strong as Gibraltar.
THE conversation reminded me of
an incident which occurred few
years ago in London. concerning
man who occupied little back room
in poor quarter Of the east end. He
was evicted for non-payment of rent.
He had nothing but a valise and few
clothes, and while they we're throwing
him and his belongings out of the
house a bulky manuscript fell out of
his pocket. Nobody noticed 1t at the
time, but after he had gathered his
clothes and taken his departure, one
of the bystanders saw the big roll Of
paper, picked 1t up, and on opening
1t, was surprised and amused to find
1t contained an elaborate scheme for
refunding the rational debt of the
British empire"

BELOW ZERO
THIS MORNING

There was Just a bit of nip in
the atmosphere this morning, espe'
cially perceptible to the misguided
citizen who has neglected to prop.
erly train his wife to get up and
build the fire. At 7 O'Clock the
weather bureau developed a tenn
perature of degrees below zero, a
drop of about Is degrees from yes

however, that this is merely slop'
over from the neighboring state OF
Idaho, and it was imported with
felonious intent by Jim Daley, city
hall weather prophet. He entered
into deal some time ago with the
plumbers union to deliver a cold
snap at this date guaranteed to
freeze water pipes or anything else
lying around loose. How much OF
a commission Daley gets on each
repair job is unknown. Unfor-
tunately there is no penalty pre-.
scribed for his crime.

PLENTY OF JOBSNOW---
IF YOU'VE GOT THE PRICE

The statement Of an employment
agent in the morning paper that
there Is plenty of work for the un-
employed OF the city, may be true
insofar as the agency business is
concerned. The trouble Is that
employment agents will not allow
the unemployed to have the work
they talk about being so plentiful
unless the men pay for it--hand-
somely-and unemployed men
needing work seldom have money.
One man this morning stated that
II work would be found and the UNI
employed would not have to pay
for it, he would provide 20, men In
as many minutes. However,, those
who are in touch with the labor
ing element say there are no more
unemployed transients in town this
winter than other winters.
The work which the agent re.
fers to Is construction OF the Mil.
waukee railroad. For these jobs
they charge from 81 to IS. 1t il

PLAN OF N. p. GRADE SEPARA-
r TON ADOPTED BY $50, 600
CLUB PROMISES HOPE OF
SATISFACTORY SETTLEMENT

A supplemental report Of the
grade separation committee Of the
10000 club shows that the propo-
sition of the committee first sub
mitted. which recommended that a
committee of Is citizens and dis
interested civil engineer arrive at
a compromise with the Northern
Pacific, has been given up.
The reason given for giving up
the idea of a tunnel through the
city is that the committee has de-
cided that the removal of all rail-
road tracks from Railroad av. is a
thing not possible to be secured,
and the committee is of the opin-
ion that the track elevation plans
submitted by the Northern Pacific
are in most respects quite salts
factory. Attention is called to the
following points which should be
given especial attention by the
city council:
The latest modification Of the
railroad plans whereby the con-
crete wall Is to be abandoned and
the tracks between the streets are
to run along the top of an ordin-
AIRY earth embankment are seri-
Gus cheapening of the general plan
of construction and will make 1t

The crossing of Division st. and
Sprague av. will always be one OF
the most important traffic centers
in the city and under no circum-
stances should a plan be consider
ed that will provide for a roadway
less than so feet in width. and it
should be 60 feet If possible. The
railroad owns almost all of the
sbutting property and such a
widening should be easy to ar
range. The cut in the street should
be less than four feet. and the ap-
proaches not more than three per
cent grade.
All the streets possible should
be open across the tracks. but the
committee recommends that the
railroad should be treated with lib
crafty in the question as to closing

Bids submitted by the federal
union for some of the city work
have resulted in calling attention
to the fact that the men who have
been doing the contracting for the
city have been gradually increas-
ing their bids from year to year.
1t is claimed that there is a
friendly understanding among the
city contractors in regard to pub
lie improvements and that it is a
foregone conclusion who will get
certain contracts. The cost of pub
lie improvements have been push
ed up every year until at present
they have become almost prohibit
tive to any man of moderate
means.
1t is remarked that on the North
side there are streets which were
graded, sidewalked and curbed for
about $50 per lot. Other streets
adjoining cost a year later for the
same improvements over $50 per
lot. Another street graded still
later on which cement curb was
put in cost over $50 per lot. The
latest bids in that section Of the
city for cement curb and sidewalks
and asphalt crossings will cost
from 1927 to $3.50 per lot.
II is claimed that the only way
in which the cost of improvements
can he elevated in the manner
stated is by complete under
standing on the part of the con-
tractors.
1t has been demonstrated during
the past few days by bids made
by the federal union that wages
paid are not responsible for the in
creased cost.
1t is the duty of the board Of pub
lie works and the city engineer to
protect the property owners from
extortionate charges on the part of
city contractors, and if 1t is found
that ring exists the work should
be done by the city. This course

more than a week or two. They
work just long enough to get a few
dollars ahead, and then are forced
to quit.
The camps all have company
stores that chsrge two prices for
everything. The men need tobac-
CO, shoes, blankets aud sometimes
new underwear. II they purchase
these things it will take a week S
work to pay for them at the camp
prices. Another bill OF expense
which comes out of their first
check is the hospital fee of 81.
Sometimes the camps have no hos
pital at all, but physician rides
up and down along the right OF
way and gives patient Quinine or
something at times. II a man is
injured seriously he will be taken
to some camp where there is a
HOSPITAL. probably necessitating a

II he wants to get his check and
leave for some other section OF the

about 10 per cent of 1t shaven of
to secure cash. II is little wonder
such jobs are unenticing to a man
who can possibly get along without
them.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-All doubt
as to the position of Hughes in the
political arena will be removed to-
night when Hughes will address
the Republican club Of this city
and in this way launch his presi-
Dental boom. Tomorrow the chief
executive of New York will be an
avowed candidate for the republi-
can nomination and one of the
greatest factors in the political
field.
Hughes speech is awaited with
more than ordinary interest. He
will definite his attitude on all
questions of national policy and in
this way a chance for comparison
with these of Taft will be given.
The republican club was until re-
Gently a supporter of Lemuel Ely
Quigg and has Odell leanings. Her
bert Parsons and other leading city
republicans are members.
Taft's letter to Parsons, advising
that Hughes be given a full, in
structed delegation from New York
stopped for the time being at least
what was growing to be one of the
bitterest factional fights ever
known in New York politics.
1t was ostensibly fight between
Taft and Hughes for the delega-
ton.
Lined up on the Hughes battle
front were ex-Gov. Odell, ex-Gov.
Black, State Senator Bracket, boss
of Saratoga; Geo. w. Aldrich, boss
of Rochester, and a fe wother up
state politicians.
Against Hughes were the feder-
al officeholders; Tim Woodruff,
BOSS of Brooklyn, who wants to
run as vice president with Taft;
Senator Plat; Herbert Parsons,
the Roosevelt leader in this city,
who nominated Hughes for gov
ernor, but wishes he hadn't;
Barnes, the boss OF Albany, and a
bunch of Roosevelt men who dis
like Hughes on principle.
1t has been hard to locate the po-
sition of the financial crowd.
Rockefeller has several times ex-
pressed his admiration for Hughes.
Ryan Is supposed to be for him,
and others prefer Hughes to Roose-
welt, but hate them both. Knox
is their ideal candidate.
Recently Hughes in speech
went out of his way to praise
Roosevelt. He has never attacked
him except in a cryptic utterance
to the effect that progress con-
sists of stability in motion" This
was taken as a reflection on the
president
But now that Taft has jerked his
fingers out of the hot cinders, to-
nights big coming out party for
Hughes will probably be function
OF much eclat for the governor if
the factional wall flowers don't pull
hair.

KILLED BY
DRUCLESS

An action naming Henry c. Kar-
mop, one of the socalled "drugless
healers," with causing the death
of II. e. Bartlett, was filed in the
superior court today by Attorney
w. T. Birdsall. representing James
o. Orchard, brother-in-law of the
deceased victim. He sues to re-
cover $145 expended in Bartlett's
behalf on representations that Kar-
mop could cure him.
Bartlett died last September aft
or u course of treatment" by Kar-
mop. The latter had assured him
that he was suffering from cerebral
trouble, while regular physicians
had diagnosed his case as Bright's
disease. He had promised to cure
Bartlett and influenced him to
take lodgings here that he might
