tend to be mere onlooker at the
proceedings of this session Of the state
legislature is evident from the fact
that he has been placed on seven diff
ferent committees, and has been made
chairman Of the penisentiary commit

already introduced several bills and
intends to vigorously push them
through to enactment. One Of his
bills known as House Bill No. 80 is to
limit the levy in the school district
Of the third class, and provides that
the school board Of the district of the
third class shall not certify to high
er rate than twenty mills per dollar
on the taxable property of the school
district in which said levy is made.
Another one known as House Bill
No. 10, is to require school boards of
all first and second class districts to
publish such of their proceedings rs
relate to the payment Of bills and
the letting of contracts. His House
Bill No. 15 provides for the publi
cation of q financial statement OF all
school districts in the state.
All of the above bills are good and
should and doubtless will receive the
hearty support and endorsement Of a
sufficient number Of the lawmakers to

season of the Ethel Tucker stock
company was presented to a large
audience Saturday night. zaza is the
east Objectionable OF the so-called
problem plays, and aside from the
French view OF that which for want
OF a truer name. is called love, the
play is clean and carries a moral
protuberant enough forfan English
audience. Miss Tucker was clever,
at times fascinating and at all times
interesting in the title role. Her
support was good, Miss Vaudeville
was sprightly and natural as Alice,
Miss Heaton played well the ungraci-
GUS part OF Zaza's aunt, Miss Brown
