TRANSFER OF SITE
TO ROYAL NEIGHBORS
Conference to Pass on Final Formal
tiles of Gift of Industrial
Commission.

At a conference to be held late this
afternoon it is expected that the for
NAL transfer of the north half of the
Rock Island Club property on Six
teenth street. to the Royal Neighbors
OF America will take place. and thus
will be fulfilled the promise of the
Rock Island Industrial commission of
two years ago to the officers of the
society that if the head Offices, then
divided between this city and Peoria
would be concentrated here, a gift OF
a site would be made. The site has
been purchased with funds from the

out of the way. Most important still,
it would involve climbing and descend
ing hill $50 or move feet high and
crossing Copperas creek valley twice.
This would probably double the cost
Of construction and would impose an
obstacle equal to that offered by the
delays in the yards of the three cities
for the heavy trains.
Not Hill to Encounter.
Building down the Rock river and
Mississippi valleys from Carbon Cliff
to Muscatine, there would not be a hill
to encounter and very little dirt would
have to be moved. There is an old
rQadbed already partially graded from
Milan to several miles below Andalu-
STA, built in the 70s, though it is not
at all likely that this could be utilized
Not only would the building of the
road be a simple matter, but it would
have no grades of any consequence.
Though the Milwaukee would not be
likely to solve the interurban problem
for Rock Island and for the lower end
Of the county, it might enter into an
alliance with an interurban company
and permit the electrification Of the
road between Rock Island and NIusca-
tine. Then 1t would be a very simple
matter to construct a stub seven or
eight miles, or even more, through the
heart Of the district that is now max
ing an effort to secure rail facilities
Such an arrangement would answer
every purpose and could, without
douDt. be made to pay.

TO AMEND DIVORCE
LAWS
New Rulings in Spokane
Legislative Changes
Advocated.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 4.-Public-
ity as precaution against fraud in
actions for divorce is advocated by
Presiding Judge J. D. Hinkle of the
superior court of Spokane county,
who announces that the rule, per-
hitting 80 days TO elapse between
the filing of the suit and the trial
of the case, undoubtedly will be
adopted by the judges in Spokane
county, going into effect on Novem-
Der 1.
Judge Hinkle, who has studied the
question for years, also advocates
these reforms in requirements and
procedure in divorce cases not only
in this county, btu all over the coun-
try:
Six months or year between the
time of separation and filing of COM
plant in actions on grounds of cru
city and non-support.
Two years residence in the state
to enable a former nonresident to
sue for divorce.
introductory decree of divorce
not to be made final until six months
or year after the trial of the case.
Requirement that parties may not
remarry within a year of the grant
ing of the divorce.
Il nte requirement now is that
suit be filed at least five days be-
fore the trial." Judge Hinkle said
1T used to be that a case would be
started one day and rushed to trial
on the next. Publicity was lodged
and often year would pass before
relatives or friends of couple knew
they had been legally separated.
THE system followed in several
states of granting an interlocutory
decree at the time of trial, which
does not become final except through
the act of the petitioner, six months
or year later, would also be an ad-
vantage. Many reconciliations might
take place under such conditions,
which are prevented now by the di-
vorce becoming final Immediately
after it is granted"

NEEDECOhOMY AND
THRIFT
New York Financier Thinks
Prosperity Will Await
Increased Capital

New York-Victor Morawetz, for
merly chairman of the Atchison exc.
cutive committee, is quoted as say.
ing: ct Is idle to expect renewal OF
extreme prosperity until the underly-
ing causes of the present reversal
have been removed. We cannot have
return of boom times until we have
readjusted prices and increased avail
able capital by going through period
of economy and thrift.
Recent unsettlement of business
conditions and fall in stock exchange
values were not due to the prospect
of poor crops, to operation of bear
spectators, or to unreasoning fears
of the specializing public. Confidence
fear of rate legislation end will be
restored oniy when relations between
the railroads and the government
have been permanently adjusted and
established on a fair basis. Conf
dence in industrial securities will not
lie restored until the mearlng anG
effect of antitrust laws have been
settled Ly a decision of the court o.
last resort.
THE peril of a severe financial
stringency and of possible panic will
hang over us until our banking and
currency system has been placed on a
sound and safe basis. The banking
and currency problem is the most i'm
pOrtant and most pressing of all our
legislative problems. Though the de-
preston in Wall street and retrench-
ment in business throughout the
country may prevent the occurrence
of money stringency next autumn,
the danger of future serious financial
disturbances and of possible panics
will continue until the defects in our
banking and currency system have
been corrected.
During my visit abroad nothing
impressed me more than the waste
and extravaganza of American people
of all classes. Not only do our tour
lists annually spend abroad hundreds
of millions, but the middle ana poorer
American classes live upon much
more expensive scale than in Europe,
spending money with far less judg-
ment With greater care the poorer
classes could live as we'll as at present
and save some of their money. A
yearly saving of So a head by the
people of the United States would
amount to nearly 0,000,000.
During the last 10 years we have
gone through a period or unparalleled
ed expansion, have sunk a vast
amount of capital in construction
work and in consequence prices of
labor and commodities have been
largely increased. Available free capt.
tai has become inadequate, as is evil
denced by the continued low price of
bonds and in many cases by inability
to find a market for bonds, while
bank loans have largely increased.
This period of extraordinary expan-
sion, of large profits and of increases
in prices could not go on indefinitely.
In my opinion We must look forward
to a period of diminished business
activity and reduced profits till we
have readjusted prices and by econ
omy and thrift have accumulated an
adequate amount of available capt.
tai"
