A Letter From Representa-
tive Tooley

Feeling confident that the people OF
Beaver county might desire to know
some of the happenings in the Halls of
the Legislature, and especially for
those who may not read the daily pa
pers regularly, will undertake to
give, through your paper, IL you will
be kind enough to publish same, some
very interesting facts occurring during
this special session
In the first place, you know, am
only one of the very small minority
and we, alone, are unable to do any,
thing, no matter how meritorious, un-
less the majority becomes divided on a
question and we can cast our vote with
their minority vote.
/ introdu uced bill TO allow United
States Commissioners to take ac-
acknowledgements OF deeds, mortgages,
etc, and to legalize their acts in all
clerical work of ttat kind previously
done This bill received favorable
consideration from the committee and
passed its second reading in the house.
but was voted down on its third read
ing and final passage. have secured
promise from democrat that he will
have the bill reconsidered and try to
get it passed. Other bills and reolu-
tions presented by members of the
minority and by me, have met by the
same fate. The same thing happened
to resolution introduced asking for
an investigation of the ten thousand
dollars appropriation made by the
legislature in 1907-8, for the relief of
the cyclone sufferers. Also, bill for
closing theatres, shows and places of
amusement on Sunday
The legislature was called in special
session for the purpose of giving the
people relief on the taxation question.
Nothing has been done except to ex-
tend the me of payment--not much
relief to the poor people of my county
who have in many instances already
paid their taxes but it does help the
rich who have delayed payment until
the passage of this bill l hope there
will be something done to reduce taxes
and If such bill is presented, will
support it with all my influence.
With best wishes to all my constitu-
ents, wish to remain.
Your obedient servant,
A. w TooLEY.

Cyclone Fuld Gone, Too

To locate the present whereabouts of
the $40 600 cyclone fund, appropriated
by the 1907-S legislature, or at least TO
compel J. p Connors, president OF the
state board Of agriculture, to submit
an itemized account of the expendi-
tire of the fund-so that the pc, pile
may know what became Of it's the
mission Of Representative Abel w
Tooley, republican, of Beaver county,
the tallest member of the present leg
i,lature, "a we'll as one of the most ag-
gressive when it comes to taking II
stand on a question
When Connors who, as president Of
the state board of agriculture, should
account for this fund, sees the six feet,
four inches height of Tooley towering
over him, it is very reasonable to pre-
dict that Connors will produce. As
Mr.. Tooley comes from that section of
the country, too, for which the money
was appropriated, he wants to be able
to return home and tell his constitu-
ents what became Of it. The Tooley
resolution is as follows:
Whereas, under the provisions of
Senate Bill No. 45O. session of 1907-s
there was appropriated the sum of
$4,000 for cyclone sufferers in Ellis,
Dewey. Woodward, Major, Stephens
and Alfalfa counties, the came to be
expended uuder the direction OF the
state board OF agriculture, and
"Whereas, it is shown by the rec
-ds In the office Of the state auditor
that warrants were issued for the foil
amount Of $4,000 in favor of the board
of agriculture several days after Il e
signing Of said bill, and
Whereas, said act requires that the
state board of agriculture shall furnish
20 the next legislature an itemized ac-
count of all expenditures OF this up
preparation and receipts for the same
therefore be it
Resolved that the president of said
board be requested to transmit to the
Legislative assembly in special session
assembled, full and complete report OF
the haudling and disposition of the
funds appropriated under this act and
drawn from the STATE treasury by said
board"
Both resolutions were referred, by
the democrats, to the special investi-
gatidg committee for consideration.

Commissioners lost for lack of con
stitutional majority, although the vote
stood 25 10 27 in favor of 1t.

When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount OF
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR., Miles Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.

public life for a man with these quail
fications.
There are two reasons why James
Smith should not go to the senate. He
is a political "boss," marked with the
Tammany stripe. And he is not the
choice of the people of New Jersey.
But Smith shares the late Commodore
Vanderbilt's opinion about the people.
He has the state machine with him,
and therefore the people don't count.
Woodrow Wilson takes a different
view. He believes in the sacredness of
the expressed will of the people. While
the people want MARITIME for senator,
Wilson, as their representative, fights
Smith. Will the people of New Jersey
stand by the man who stands by them?
If they will, Woodrow Wilson may
be the next president of the United
States.

BY CHANGING over the council pro-
ceedings an idea will be formed as to
what il will cost the business men Of
this place if Oroville goes dry at the
election called TO submit the question
to the voters. In come instances this
extra expense will be severe strain
on those engaged in business yet the
license must be levied to make up the
loss that would be OccasiOned by cut
ting of the revenue derived from the
saloons. OF course those who are bent
upon forcing the question to an issue
will not be called upon TO meet this
additional expense. yet they wish 10
force their neighbors to pay. Under
present conditions it looks like a seri-
Gus mistake to press the issue, and it
would be we'll to postpone voting dry
until more opportune time. That
5yill be when the town /, fairly on its
feet, and other means Of insuriug q
revenue is provided in which all will
share and the burden IS not placed
upon the few.
