ter has now introduced bill to pro-
die this fund, but not affecting towns.
The matter has come before the legis-
lature in several different ways, but
it is believed this will be gotten
through.
An important bill introduced by
Representative Harding makes an ap-
preparation of $4,000 annually for the
state historical department, of which
$4,000 is for the Legislative refer

posed of by the library board in what
ever way deemed best The head of
the historical department Is to be the
superintendent and his salary and that

tuition is to be fixed by the library

no patience, whatever" he said,
with the state arranging for the &C
ceptance Of pensions from any indi-
vidual. If anyone desires to give such
pensions, all very we'll but the spec
tacle is not edifying for the state of
Iowa going on record as asking for
or revising laws SO as to conform to
someone's rules, for such pensions, or
a gratuity of any kind" This was in
connection with the scheme to change

The municipal bills brought to the

mayors of Des Moines, Cedar Rapids
and Sioux City and others to consider
various phases Of contemplated legis
lation. There is such wide diversity OF
opinion among even those who are
most interested, that 1t seems prob
able not a great amount of Legislation
will be done! on this line.

PHoENIX, ARIz, MARCH 16, 1909
TENDING TO SIMPLICITY.

There are surface indications of a change of policy in the matter of American diplomatic representation abroad. if the attitude of President Taft is accurately reported in the press dispatches from Washington. It is intimated, ostensibly on good au- thority, that hereafter the possession of large means will not necessarily be a condition precedent to prefer ment in the diplomatic service.
 The reason said to have been given for the proposed change in diplo- matic policy is one which will ap- peal to the average American. Pres ident Taft is quoted as being of the opinion that the idea that only very wealthy men can fittingly represent American interests abroad, by main taining elaborate social establish ments, is not warranted. He is fur thermore said to hold the view that the maintenance of such establish ments tends to make the diplomats who support them somewhat unmind- full of their obligations to American citizens who happen to be abroad"
 President Taft seems to have a pre- judice in favor of diplomatic repre- sentatives who will know an Ameri- can when they sec him.
 It is more than probable that the proposed change in diplomatic policy had its origin in now remote Ger man incident, which was only pre- vented from becoming acute. not to say scandalous. by the consummate skill and tact of Dr. David Jayne Hill, who so admirably represents Ameri- can interests at the German court The story of that affair is fresh in the minds of Americans and 1t has not been entirely forgotten by mem bers of the diplomatic corps at Der lin. Broadly, it was demonstrated that a mere display of large wealth and lavish expenditure for social pur- poses only is not necessary for the maintenance of the dignity of the re- public. the conservation of the inter ests of American visitors to foreign countries. and the commercial and other welfare of the country at large.
 There is no reason for believing that President Taft will go to the opposite extreme and bar competent men from the service for the sole reason that they chance to be men of means as well as brains, but policy which would make repetition of the Berlin incident impossible would be generally acceptable.

THE WAITING ATTITUDE
 OF THE STOCK MARKET
Little Will Be Done Until More Is
 Known of the Tariff.

New York. March 15-Business in stocks today fell another degree in the scale toward likeness. The assemblage of congress had little effect in releas- ing the market from its bonds. The delay in reporting the new tariff bill and in sending in the presidents spe cial message was the assigned motive for the halt. Confidence is not great that eevnts will end the season of dull ness in stocks. Prices of copper were marked down. falling full quarter of a cent per pound Free engagements of gold for shipments to Argentine and the likelihood of its being supple mented by further outgo to London left the money market unruffled.

GRAIN.

Chicago, March 15.-Weak cables and a slump in corn had a depressing effect on the wheat market today. prices at the close showing net losses of sc to 7sc, compared with Satur- days final quotations. There was no great selling pressure at any time, neither was there any demand of con sequence. At the start. the market was weakened by decline of $ to F pence in Liverpool, and throughout the day heaviness of corn tended to inspire additional selling. The close was weak at almost the lowest level. with May at s116k and July at s1O4%. Realizing sales by out of town holders caused weakness in corn. The close was weak at almost the bottom. May being off %c at 67ssc and July As lower at 67Hc.
