HI BANK.

The words of Edward V. Vreeland
of New York in favor of a central
bank are entitled to the country's
serious consideration. Mr.. Vreeland
is chairman of the House Committee
on Banking and Currency. He was
recently appointed to that post, in
place of Fowler of New Jersey, who
held it for several terms. The view
which he expresses seems to find ia
vor with a majority of the members
of the committee.
= This is~a live question now. a
monetary commission was appointed
a year ago to study the entire ques-
ton of finance as it applies to our
conditions. Mr.. Vreeland is a mem
Der of that commission Senator Al
drich, the head of the Finance Com
mite in his chamber, is the chair
man of the commission. He also ia
vors a central bank. A bill will be
reported by the commission, it is be-
lieyed, some time during the session
which begins in December. 1t will
be introduced in both chambers SIM
~ultaneously. All the influence which
can be exerted by these committees
to secure it's enactment will be en-
ployed. This is n of the big ques-
tons to which Mr.. Taft is expected to
give attention in his message at the
opening of the session.
Hamilton, the secretary of the
treasury, was the author of a central
bank which Wen into existence UNI
der a twenty ear charter in 1871.
1t was allowed to die in 1911, but
a new institution based upon the
same principle was established in
1916, the Democrats, who had OPP
posed the first one, being in favor OF
the second. Jackson defeated the pro-
ject to extend the charter of the
bank in 1916, and it died at the
expiration of its patent in 1886. That
bank, however, had some monopol-
istice features which are not in the
plan outlined b. Chairman Vceelano

cent. and the balance OF its earn
ings goes into the treasury of the

equalization
Work Now
Going on

To hear taxpayers relative to val
uations placed upon properties in the
assessment roll for 1909, the board Of
county commissioners convened yes
terday as a Board of Equalization.
They will be in session for two weeks.
Because the Washington, Young
America, Sheffield and Canaan mines
were not patented properties they
we're yesterday ordered stricken from
the roll.
Attorney Bedford stated that the
north half of block 40 and lots z
and s in the south half of the same
block of the Ely Townsite were not
the property of the Ely Securities
company. For that reason the as
sessment of the Securities company
was reduced $2400, and the land as
sessed to unknown owners.
1t appearing to the board that lots
l to Z block 5 of the Ely Townsite
was divided into two equal triangles
by the Nevada Northern railroad, an
order was made by the Board reduc-
ing the value of the lots from SIPS
to 500.
On of Attorney Bel
ford, the assessment or the Gum
Thompson company was reduced from
$21, 900 to $12,40O.
j. r. Bartlett was granted a re-
duction of $500 on merchandise, it
appearing that certain property as
sessed to him belonged to c.. w.
Bergman.
E. A. Davidson got a reduction OF
$500 on a saloon at Lane City.
D. c. Gardner, of Lund, got re-
duction ON horses of $235.
F. M. Clark was reduced $500 on
lot 5 block B in Ely.
Cattle belonging to. George w.
Hayden of White River was reduced
$52.
F. j. Storey said the valuation of
his Riepetown property was excess
sive. Assessor Miles will visit the
property for the purpose of having
the values readjusted.
A list of unsatisfied mortgages on
record and a list Of all the patented
mines in the county were presented
by Auditor Mcknight.
Whenever an affidavit from a min
ing superintendent is presented to
the board showing that over 500
worth of work has been done on a
patented mine in the year an order
will be made striking the mine from
the assessment roll.

The secretary of the Kansas Board

The secretary of the Kansas Board
of Agriculture is raising a protest.
ing voice against the prevailing ten
dency among the farmers of that
state to remove to the towns and
cities. He ascribes it to the influence
of the youngest members of the
families. He has probably found
the cause. Now what is he going to
do about it? Unless the cause can
be removed there is no use quarrel
ing with the effect.

How it Works in Rockford


A travelling saleman who has been in Waukegan re-
Gently tells of the experiences in Rockford Ill., of his
father, shoe merchant of that city, connection with
local option, says the Waukegan News The salesman
into the city last spring when Waukegan
worked up the issue of local option and asked
in general conversation how he stood in regard to the
matter.
II don't know he said shaking his head whether
| am in favor of local option or not He gave as his
the fact that his father engaged in the shoe
business in Rockford and that if the saloons to be
driven from the city it would result in competitors
ing into the empty stores and injurng the business
The argument advanced that if the saloons
driven from the city the who ordinarily spent their
money for liquor would be in position patronize
greater extent the local merchants. The wife and
children it contended would not have to suffer for
lack OF footwear the salesman acknowledged the
case with good many people in Rockford at that time.
The salesman however, could not be convinced that
his father would not suffer from the passing of local
option bill This fall however he returned to Wau-
kegan and again asked what he thought of local
option for in the meantime the bill for local option had
passed in Rockford and the saloons had been driven
from the city He heartily in favor of it. he said
Instead of injurng his fathers business the passing
of the bill had increased it. Two three new shoe
stores had gone into the buildings vacated by the
LOOMS but with these in the his fathers bust
had increased enormously. The arguments which
had been advanced the spring before he said held good
in the case of Rockford The men, finding that they
could not spend their money in the saloons expended it
in purchasing necessaries for the home.
Prof George Macloske, LII. D., of Princeton Univer-
sity says The evidence that the saloon is and
murderer, is beyond cavil This is scientific evil

Dixie Fast Going DRY"
State wide prohibition laws become effective on Jan
uary in North Carolina Alabama and Mississippi in
each Of which majority of counties had heretofore
prohibited the sale of liquor.
Prohibition advocates in Louisiana have suspended
regulation of the liquor traffic. which also becomes
operative January The anti-saloon people say they
will be content for the present if this law is enforced
rgidy.
Tennessee is the chief center of interest among the
other states where state wide prohibition fights are in
progress The prohibtonists assert that state wide
bill will pass the Legislature which they expect to or
chinery, the local option forces equally confident
that such bill will meet defeat.
Kentucky, the second largest distling state in the
union, with 119 counties has but four in which the
sale of liquor is not prohibited.
Virginia presents string Of victories for the anti
saloon element prohibition exists in eighty of
the states hundred counties
In Texas, where than half the counties have ac
cepted prohibition, the voters will be called upon
to vote upon constitutional amendment for prohbi-
ton
In Arkansas two-thrds of it's area or rs counties
are dry and the question Of state wide prohibition
will be presented to the voters for decision.
Florida is partly "dry' through local option and
like some OF the other states the sale of liquor prnci
paly is confined to the cities.

FIFTH BOYS CONFERENCE.
This Gathering Planned to BE One Of
Great Power.

The fifth Annual Boys Conference
of the State Young Mems Christian
Association will be held this year in
Augusta, February Il, IL, and 13.
These conferences have grown in
interest and enthusiasm each year,
and the committee in charge this
year are planning to make this gath

IMPORTED AND EXPORT.
ED FOREST PRODUCTS
Rapid Increase in Wood Pulp I'M
pOrtatiOn.

Forests of the United States con-
tributed $4,000 900 to the exports of
the country during the fiscal year
1908, an increase of 20 fold since 1851.
Imports of forests products. chiefly
India rubber and other gums from the
tropics and lumber from Canada. have
increased even more rapidly than the
exports. The imports increased from
81, 1888 900 in 1851 to $122,000,000 in
1907, from which high mark they fell
off in 1908 to approximately s9S,O00,-
600.
A bulletin just issued by the de-
partment of agriculture, which covers
a period of 58 years. says that during
the first five years of this period,
1S51-'55, our exports of forest pro-
ducts amounted to only "a cents per
capita and our imports were less than
nine cents, whereas In 1908, the cor
responding figures were $1.04 per capt.
ia for exports and $l.l2 for imports,
1t is interesting, says the bulletin
to note Tho rapid increase in wood
pulp imports. In 1880 only $1,000
worth was imported; by 1890 this
value had increased to SSO0,000; by
1900 to $2,400.000, and in 1908 wood
pulp to the value of $7000,000 was
imported During the past ten years
the import price has increased from
81 per long ton to nearly $31. Some
wood pulp is exported, but the amount
is small compared with the imports
and seems to be on the decline.

Now Sold In America
In Less Than Three Years, Partisan
Sage, the Splendid Hair Tonic,
Is Sold All Over America

There is a reason for the phenom-
email sale of Partisan Sage in the
United States during the past three
years
And the reason is plain 70 all.
Partisan Sage does just what it is
advertised to do
Ask G. r. Fogg about it, he will
tell you that he rigidly guarantees it
to cure dandruff, stop falling hair or
itching scalp in two weeks or money
back.
There is no reason whatever why
any man or woman should fail to
take advantage of the above generous
offer.
But one thing, that has made Pari-
sian Sage so famous is its peculiar
power to turn the harsh, unattraCtiye
hair that many women possess into
luxuriant and radiant hair in a short
time. Women of refinement the
country over are using il and it ney-
err disapponts.
