Joe Hill Hall, who would do any
thing to discredit anything proposed
by Ex-Governor Smith, says he will
vote for any measure to amend or
repeal the present registration law;
that he is opposed to amy law that
restricts registration by making it
compulsory upon citizens to pay their
taxes six months before the general
election" Joe Hill knows that every
good citizen ought to pay his taxes
nine months and four days before the
general election or by the first OF
January. The tax books close
about the goth day of December and
every man VINO expects to vote
should have his taxes for any year
paid by the first of the next The
present law gives the taxpayer three
months and four days of the next
year. Can it be that Joe Hill and
his ilk want the taxpayer to have
until October of the following year.
No. The whole kit and bilin" OF 'em
have better sense tnan that. They
are willing to do anything and say
anything to discredit anything ever
proposed by the Hoke Smith admin
istration. The present registration
law is one of the best ever put on
the statute books and was necessary

toriously corrupt. For one, we do
not believe that the legislature will
make any great change unless it be
to strengthen the restrictions and
make fraud less probable at the cleo
lions and to remove the temptation to
commit fraud in the registration.
1t is indeed expensive to run for

National Bank Reserves.

The law requires every national
bank located in the three central cit.
les, New York, Chicago and St Louis,
to maintain a reserve in bank of rs
per cent; the same rate is required
for other reserve city banks, but one
half of the amount may be depositd
to their credit with correspondents in
central reserve cities. Country banks
are required to maintain a Is PEI

be in bank and three-fifths may be

Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and
several industrial educators appeared
before the senate committee on agri-
culture and urged the passage of the
bill introduced by Senator Dolliver of
Iowa which seeks to appropriate $4,-
100000 for instruction in secondary
agricultural institutions. The bill was
framed by the American Federation
of Labor.
Senator Lodge submitted to the
senate the report of Dr. Harvey VIII
ey on the subject of storage of food
products. The report says that the
value of some foods, sucn as cheese,
ham, bacon, wine, beers and other
products, is increased by cold stor-
age; other products like eggs, milk,
vegetables and butter are better
when used fresh. DR.. Wiley adds that
surplus products should be kept in
cold storage for such time as they
are not in season, and approves of
canned goods, but says they ought not
to be carried in storage beyond one
season and that no food products
should be stored beyond nine months.
The report on the statehood bill as
amended was read before the senate

lions may be in session sixty days,

to the people. Congress and the
president may disapprove of the con-
stitution. If approved, however, the
governors are then to call elections
