MASS MEETING.
Resolution Passed Asking the School
Board to Submit PROPOSE
tons for High School
Site to Voters.

The meeting of the patrons of the
Lamar school district at the opera
house ON Monday evening was large
ly attended and there was a free ex-
change of views OIL the subject of
building high school and other
questions which came up in that
connection.
While there was some difference of
opinion on the question, the large
majority of the sentiment seemed to
favor the purchase of a site for a
high school while there is still an
opportunity to get one In a reason
able distance of the center of town
without paying exhorbitant prices. A
resolution was passed by almost I'm
animous vote requesting the board to
advertise for offers of high school
sites and to call a special election
at which all such propositions shall
be submitted to the voters for their
action.
A few opposed the selection of any
site but they were a very small min
| GRITTY. 1t was evident that the large
majority of the patrons favored an
up-to-date high school just as soon
as the district is able to build one,
and want grounds purchased sufficien
ly large for athletic purposes. The
bonded indebtedness of the district
Is now about $4,000 and the other
Indebtedness is only about $1,000, and
the assessed valuation of the district
is 100000.
One fact was made plain at the
meeting, and that was that notwith-
standing the backsets at times receiv
ed. the permanent population of La
mar has been always on the increase,
as the school enrolment has been
regularaily increasing each year. the
enrolment in September never hav-
ing failed to show an increase over
the previous September. Every avail
able school room in town is now in
use and most of the rooms are over
crowded.

His Resolution to Submit Ccnstitu

outgrowth CT a series Of conferences held
between the progressive republicans and

with the recommendation CT President
Taft such tax, In his opinion would be
constitutional is the direct suggestion that
in this legislation should be a provision
for vote BY the states en- a constitutional
amendment giving power to congress to
levy a tax on incomes
Senator Brown OF Nebraska introduced
the first resolution suggesting such a con
stitutiCnal amendment Senator Nelson Of
Minnesota later, in the present session of
congress, introduced resolution very sim
liar in character, but somewhat different
in verbage looking to the same end, and
these two resolutions are before the fl
nance committee of the senate tonight.
When the message came into the senate
this morning it created intense surprise
among those senators who had hoped for
vote on the income tax proposition. and
Senator Brown seemingly was picked out
by some of the insurgent republicans for
intense criticism.
You have chlorofcrmed the tariff sit
uation," said Senator Cummins to Senator
Brown, as they stood together in the
marble room fronting the senate chamber.
ION the contrary" replied the senator
from Nebraska, Il have helped in a small
way to resuscitate the corpse"
Senator Borah, who has been the most
pronounced income taxite of the insurgent
forces, and who argued at great length
for the consttutionality Of such meas
ure, said even harder things to Senator
Brown than had Senator Cummins, but
Brown, knowing his position and having
been in conference, not only with the pres
ident but with the lawyers Of the cabinet,
believes that the only way to make the
income tax constitutional Is tc have the
states say so, and the finance committee
tonight is laboring with that question.
In the meantime, Senator Brown is re-
ceiving congratulations On all sides for
his farsightedness and his appreciation of
the constitutional question.

Money Needed
to Finish North
Platte Ditch
Senator Burkett and Director Newell
Face Lack of Funds to Com
plete Third Section.
From a staff Correspondent }

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 16.--If plans
formulated by Senator Burkett and Di-
rector Newell of the reclamation service
can become effective, conditions on the
North Platte irrigation project will be much
improved, and settlers along the third sec
tion Of the ditch will be relieved Of much
anxiety. For some time they have been
anxious to have this third section of the
ditch completed and Senator Burkett has
received a number of letters from them
asking that the ditch be finished If pos
sible. He has been working on the matter,
and he and Director Newell have been
going over the situation together with
view of having work go forward promptly.
The principal difficulty has been because
of lack Of funds, but 1t is possible that
this may be overcome by some arrange
ment whereby settlers can do the work
themselves, Director Newell has expressed
himself to the effect that he will push
work in every way he can. He has talked
with settlers concerning 1t and says he
will do all in his power to assist them
Detailed plans are being made to com
plete the third section of the ditch. and
they will be put into execution at the
earliest possible date.

Germans Narrow
Says Won Buelow
in Bitter Address
Chancellor Scores Countrymen for
Allowing Political Opinions to
Enter Into Social Life.

BERLIN, June 16.-Chancellor Won Bue-
low, in the Relchstag today, sarcastically
attacked the tactics employed by the cler-
ical party agairst him. They had even
dared he said, TO accuse him of dis
loyalty to the emperor and infidelty to the
Austro- German alliance, and they he'd
considered It necessary to sever their
social relations with him.
Possibly It is because I have lived so
long abroad" continued the chancellor,
that II never occurred to me to exclude
anyone from social relations because Of
differences of political opinions. l hope
to see the day when in this respect also
Germans will be as other people Partic-
ularly in England. no one Is so petty as to
carry political antagonisms into personal
relations"
The chancellor praised the part that liber-
alism had taken in the development OF
German national life and spoke highly Of
the great contributions that the liberal
parties were making today toward the
national welfare.
Referring to the reports that he would
resign the chancellorsbip, Won Buelow
said:
1T will remain so long as the emperor
believes that my cooperation in the in
ternaI policies Of the government is use
full to the empire. and so long as my own
political convictions and my own judgment
of the political situation make me be-
lieye l can be useful"
