means that ever arose in the house.
Minority Leader Clark still with
holds his approval of the appointment
of Representative Francis Burton Har-
rison and Representative Broussard of
Louisiana as the new minority mem

displeasure among the house demo-
Gratis over the action of these two men
in joining the bolt Monday on the
rules fight in the house. Mr.. Clark
has not announced publicly that he
disapproves of the appointments
1t is believed that Representative
Broussard will accept the appointment,
as he did not attend the caucus which
declared that mo. democrat should
accept a committee appointment with
out the previous approval of the pres

Representative Harrison, who at
tended that caucus, announced that
he would abide by it's action. If Mr.
Harrison refuses to serve on the COM

will lay the matter before the house

REPLY OF RUSSIA
RECEIVED BY AUSTRIA

st. Petersburg, March II. - The
Austro- Hungarian ambassador to
Russia has received from Foreign
Minister Iswolsky the reply of Russia
to the notification of the dual mon.
archy of the signing of the Austro-
Turkish protocol regarding the annex
alton by Austria Hungary of the
provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
NJ. Iswolsky insists that this direct
understanding does not effectually ex-
clude the necessity of submitting the
question of the annexation of those
provinces to a conference of the sig
natory powers of the Berlin treaty,
and he says that Russia is now pre-
pared to negotiate with Austria Hun
gary and the other powers regarding
the summoning of a conference to con-
slider this and other questions.

once. Mr.. O'Connelrs seat in the
house is being contested.
1t is not believed that any of these
complications will interfere with the
progress of the tariff bill.
The democrats found early oppor-
tunity today to signify their resent
ment of the failure of the speaker to
recognize Minority Leader Clark in the
selection of democratic members of
committees. When the speaker un-
dertook to fill the committee on mile
age he designated e. b. Lewis, for
merly member from the Third Georgia
district, for a place on that commit
tee. Mr.. Bartlett called attention to
the fact that Mr.. Lewis was not a
member of the present house The
chair acknowledged the mistake and
Immediately designated Mr.. Bartlett to
the vacancy.
81 decline to serve" promptly re-
sponded Mr. Bartlett.
Then the chair appoints the gem
tleman from Kentucky, Mr. James,
said Speaker Cannon.
Declines Also.
Anu, Sdlu MT. James, 'tne gentle
man from Kentucky declines to serve"
Failing back on the rules, the
speaker put the question to the house.
The democrats generally voted to ex-
cuse Mr.. James, but the opposition
from the republican side was over
Whelming. The vote was viva voce,
and while it was unquestionably
against excusing Mr.. James, the
speaker announced the opposite re-
suit and named Mr.. Collier of Mis-
sissippi AS he was not heard to OBJ
ject, the appointment will stand. 1t
was afterwards announced that Mr..
Clark would approve the selection of
Mr.. Collier
The full committee on mileage as
finally announced is: Kennedy of
Iowa, Lundin of Illinois, Garner of
Pennsylvania, Collier of Mississippi
and Denver of Ohio.

NORRIS DISAPPROVES
HORTICULTURAL
MEASURE

Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Helena, March 17.-After dis
cussing the matter with the state
board of horticulture, Governor
Norris this afternoon vetoed senate
bill No. 113, by Romney, an act
creating the office of commissioner
of horticulture. The section Gre
ating the office and providing for
the method of appointment had
been omitted from the bill. The
purpose having failed because of
such omission, there is no reason
for the bill.
IF this bill should be approved"
says the governor, there would be
no officer or board authorized to
perform the duties heretofore per-
formed by the state board of hor-
ticulture, or which were intended
to be performed by the commits
sioner of horticulture under the
provisions of the BILL
The governor still has in his pos
session several bills, among them
senate bill No. IS, relating to the
formation of irrigation districts.
If not acted upon Friday the bill
becomes a law.

THE NEW SCHOOL LAH.

The 1908 session of the Gener-
al Assembly intended to provide
a system under which our school
money would not be wasted, and
for which we would get some
adequate results. 1t also de-
sired to remove from our State
the black blot of illiteracy, and
to take Kentucky from near the
bottom of the American Com
monwealths, educatlonally, and
place her where she should be.
These laws received the support
of a large majority of Democrats
and Republicans in both Houses
and were signed by the Gov
ernor.
ALI true Kentuckians desire
that peace, prosperity and re-
spect for law, and for the rights
of person and property shall pre-
vail throughout our borders.
Better schools and more churches
are the mightiest factors, which
can aid US in reaching this de-
sired end. Public education, as
the primary policy of the South,
presents not merely an oppor-
tunity and a duty, but a policy
of investment-wise and sacred
and secure.
Every parent in the State
should attend the meeting of the
"Whirlwind Campaign" for bet
ter education in Kentucky be-
ginning June 81 and ending July
8, where full discussions of past
and present educational con di
tions will be made.

LOCAL TAXATION FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOL PURPOSES.

PUBLIC SCHOOL PURPOSES,
One of the most important
subjects for discussion in the
"Whirlwind Campaign" for bet
ter education in Kentucky will
be "Local Taxation" for school
purposes. Below are some of
the benefits of local tax:
A local tax will provide more
money for schools.
More money for schools will
provide better houses, better
grounds, better equipment, bet
ter salaries for teachers, longer
terms, high school facilities.
Better houses, grounds and
equipment will mean better
health and comfort of pupils,
more interest on the part of pu-
pills, more pride in the school,
more effective teaching, more
regularity of attendance, in
creased values of local property.
Longer terms and better sala-
ries will result in better teachers,
better attendance better classifi-
cation, more effective teaching,
more pupils prepared for high
school.
Better teachers and longer
terms will justify a high school
department.
More high schools and high
school pupils will mean more
students who will attend college,
better preparation for life for
those who do not 90 to college.
Local high schools will enable
more pupils to obtain benefit of
a high school education of home
infuence and at least expense.
Good local schools offer che
best inducements for good citi-
zens to remain in the cOmmun-
ity and for other desirable cIti-
.zens to come in. The tide of in
telligent and beneficial, immi-
grafton flows toward commune
ties that have good schools, and
prosperity follows.
Local tax money invested in
schools remains in the commun.
ity and invested in the uplift of
mind and character of the rising
generation, thus becoming re.
liable asset of the community,
better than bank account.
Local tax for schools increases
the demand for property, in
creases rent values, stimulates
local pride, cultivates public
spirit and cooperative effort,
and makes more happy and con-
