With the terrible roads now many
farmers are wishing that their town
ship had voted a road tax and had the
roads fixed so they would be passable.
Many are now using four horses to
come in TO take out fuel or other need
ed things. Pleasant Hill township did
it up fine, they voted the tax and will
now have good roads and every town
ship should do so. 1t is a small matter
yet the whole year round farmers need
good roads and very small tax and
good road-OVerseers would give it to
them, and it would be worth many
times its cost. The law authorizes
such a tax and township board should
see that such levy is made each year.
1t pays every quarter section along the
road four fold the tax. That is one of
the important things Farmers Insti-
tute should discuss and urge.

HINKLE LEADERS
STRONG FOR ONO

J. P. Perkin, manager of the
Hinkle campaign in the primaries,
announces that he will vote for Mr.
ONO tomorrow. Perkins was for
Hinkle because of the latter's
stand on the liquor question. He
is now for ONO because the repub-
lcan nominee offers everything
and more on this question than
does Pratt.
Potter Hall. another of the
Hinkle managers, is for ONO be-
cause ONO stands for straightfor-
ward, manly expression on any
question, while the alleged reform
forces boosting for Pratt represent
evasion. hypocrisy and double deal
ing. This element had chance,
Mr.. Hall says, to get right on the
liquor issue, but ducked for fear
of hurting their favorites polite.

The plan of an advisory commit
tee to consult with the chief eXecu-
tive of the city has been tried and
found to be productive of good re-
suits in Portland, Ore, and Boston,
Mass.
- J. T. ONO announces his inten-
ton of having a nadvisOry commit
tee if he is elected mayor, not for
the purpose of delegating any of
the powers of the office to others,
but for the purpose of obtaining the
views of men engaged in different
lines of business and in different
walks of life on what is best for
the people of Spokane as a whole.
Mr.. ONO has signified his intention
of having two representatives of
labor on this advisory board if he
is elected.
Richard w. Montague, a promi-
nent attorney of Portland, writes
concerning the advisory board plan
in that city: THE city charter of
Portland provides for an executive
board of 10 members. They are in
some senses advisory, but the real
purpose is to afford the mayor an
administrative arm, so to speak;
that is, means of investigating
and performing the great multi
tude of administrative duties
which no one man can possibly
perform alone.
The board is appointed by the
mayor, and the terms or the mem
beers expire with his.
The executive board during
Mayor Lanes two administrations
has been composed of men of high
standing and character, who have
at considerable personal sacrifice,
devoted a great deal of time and
thought to the city's welfare"
p. y. McGrath, a newcomer from
Boston, thus tells of his expert
erce with the executive board idea:
Il was member of the city cOun-
Gil of Boston when the plan of an
advisory committee, such as is
now outlined by Mr. ONO, was put
into operation, and | am satisfied
there is no citizen of Boston but
appreciates the good results ac-
complished by that committee.
such was the confidence reposed in
their judgment and disinteredness
The net results of their study of
municipal problems was the saving
of thousands of dollars, the over
throw of the old system on which
the business of the city was con-
Quoted, and the establishment of a
system based on business princi-

CHICAGO. May 3.--Over 1000
delegates and visitors attended the
opening of the second national
peace conference here today. Ses-
sions will be held until Wednes-
day night. The reading of letter
from Taft expressing regret at his
inability to be present, and approx
ing the acts of the conference, was
one of the days features. Robert
Treat Paine. Boston, presided. An
address by Secretary of War Dick
inson was read and addresses of
welcome delivered by Mayor
Busse and Governor Dineen.
: The principal speakers at to-
night S session will be Samuel
Gompers and David Starr Jordan.
In the address Secretary Dickin-
son recited the history of early
peace work and then said in part:
'By far the most notable event
in the history of the world bear
ing upon international peace was
the first Hague conference. The
signatory powers agreed to use
their best efforts to insure the pa
cific settlement of international
differences in cases of disagrec.
ment or conflict before an appeal

stances allow. recourse to the good
Offices or mediation of one or more
friendly powers, to sanction, even

of powers strangers to the dispute
by offering their good Offices as
mediators in reconciling opposing
claims and in appeasing feelings OF
resentment.

on Prosecutor Pugh for warrant
for the arrest of ]. Herbert Ander-
son. manager of the Panhandle
smelter, on a charge of embezzling
$500.
King & Gray, the attorneys de-
manding the warrant for Anderson,
a few days ago refused to permit
their stenographer to come to Spo-
kane to testify before the grand
jury in the Gordon inquiry, and on
this account Prosecutor Pugh re-
fused to issue a fugitive warrant
for Anderson.
Pugh told the Wallace lawyers
that when he permitted the young
woman to come to Spokane he
would issue the warrant for Ander-
son.

mo event that has transpired in

whatever 1t desires if the desire is
constant and all pervading.
THAT this will come through
