LOCAL OPTION
Petition Rejected by the Board--New
Petition to be Circulated
At Once.

and J. NJ. Prater was not i'll accord
ance with the statutes and that it
could not be consldcred by the
board. He then attacked the petit
tion, claiming that the various
sheets Of it had been pasted, pinned
and otherwise fastened together
that there was no assurance that
some of the sheets were parts of
the original petition. He also stated
that several of the names on the
long list had been written by one
party, for instance come man might
sign his own name as well as that
of his wife and on the other hand
it might be directly opposite.
Numerous signers had not complied
with the law in signing their name,
inasmuch as they gave no post
Office address, while many others,
instead Of writing there postoffice
and residence address had simply
used ditto marks underneath a
postoffice or residence above. The
attorney for the "wets" argued
that the ditto marks could not be
considered as meaning anything
in the petition as the law plainly
stated the names must he written
themselves.
Attorney Martin for the "drys"
exploded the theory Of attorney
Mcfarland on the question of the
use OF ditto marks inasmuoh as he
read from the statutes on y section
covering that very point, the law
stated that ditto marks signfied
"that which is above". AS for the
fact that Messrs. Armfield and
Prater had not stated that they
were petitioners in the affidavit
for the whole petition Mr.. Martin
stated that it was unnecessary as
the petition could show that for
itself and that would be the best
evidence.
After arguing the points from
more names on it than the old one
just rejected. The next time the
petitions are circulated il will have
printed headings and the petitions
placed in reliable hands and the
work done in systematic manner
1t will be necessary that the petit
tions be filed with the clerk of the
board of the commissioners ten
days before the next regular meet
ing, the board will be obliged to
act upon il at that time, calling q
special election on the question not
less than thirty nor more than
sixty days from the time Of the
fling of the petition. This will
bring the election between the
fourth Of May and the first of June
The law fixes the day for holding
the election as Wednesday.
1t is asserted by the "drys" thai
they will circulate another petition
to the various sections of the coun'
ty and get as many names as possi
BILE. 1t is expected that the coming
new petition will have con siderable
all positions the attorneys for TIT
opposing side left the matters il
the hands of the commissioners
The commissioners meet Monday
resulting in facts above.

HIGH COST OF LIVING.

''The Payne-AIdrich tariff law was COM
pletely exonerated from all responsibility
for the increased cost OF food products and
other necessarics Of life in partial report
submitted by the select committee detailed
to investigate the subject Senator Lodge,
as chairman, presented the report. The
majority found that OF the many causes
contributing to the advance in prices, the
following were most marked: Increased
cost OF production OF farm products. by rea-
son of higher land values and higher wages
Increased demand for farm products and
food Shifting Of population from food
production 10 food consuming occupations
and localities. Immigration TO food consum-
ing localities Reduced fertility of land
resulting in lower average production or III
increased expenditures for fertilization. In
creased banking facilities in agricultural
localities which enabled farmers to ho!d
their crops and market them to the best adj
vantage It was found that this not only
steadied prices but had a tendency to in
crease them. Reduced supply convenient

FREIGHT RATES ADVANCED.

"As a result OF conferences between rep
of the Eastern railroads and
the big packing firms, the packers have
agreed TO submit to an advance in freight
rates on their products eastbound from Chi
cago averaging II per cent, an annual ad-
vance of about $I.S00.000. As the advance
on dressed meats figures out only one-twen-
tieth of a cent a pound, the packers say
they have no intention of passing the in
crease on TO the consumer in the shape of
an increase in prices. The amount of the
increase in rates represents compromise
between the two interests and is the direct
result OF the missionary work OF George
". Perkins, of J. P. Morgan Il Co A
strong effort will be made by the railroads
to reach a similar compromise with the

HOPE FOR THE DRAMA.

Henry w. Savage signed contracts with
Klaw Erlanger and the National Theatre
Owners Association which may ultimately
result in opening the doors Of every theatre
in the country to the productions Of every
theatrical manager. His agreements, on
one side, call for the presentation OF his
plays in syndicate theatres wherever they
exist; but, on the other hand, he will in
troduce his plays in independent theatres
where Klaw & Erlanger houses are not TO
be found. This is the first evidence of
compromise which has been shown by the
theatrical syndicate since its formation.
fourteen years ago. Klaw & Erlanger and
their associates have always insisted upon
the playing Of their own attractions and
none others in the theatres under their con-
troll They concede to Mr.. Savage the right

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

The House postal savings bank bill, one
Of the major features in the Taft lesisla-

The bill provides for the designation Of
postofflces as postal savings depository Of

more than ten years old may deposit funds
amounting TO 81 or multiples Of that
amount. PassboolKs will be issued TO de-
positors and interest allowed at the rate
OF per cent year. No person is TO %
permitted 10 deposit more than 800 in any
month nor 10 have more than $500 TO his
or her credit at any time. The withdrawal
OF funds is TO be permitted at any time.

in the communities in which the deposits
are made, and the banks are TO be required
