TREASURY WANTS LAWS
ABOUT MONEY CHANGED

Important changes in self-issues
of paper currency and a radical re-
form in the method of dusbursing
public moneys under the sub-treas-
ury system subsequently will be
recommended by Secretary Mac
Veagh
The treasury desires authority to
issue paper money in denomina-
tons most NEEDED. Mr.. MacVeagh
will recommend that the laws re-
stricting the issues to certain de-
nominations be relaxed.
The demand for small notes is, SO
great this year that the treasury is
issuing 81 greenbacks for the first
time since 1885. The issue of IS
national bank notes, now restricted
by law, may be increased
The banks asked for provision
to require the government to pay
the cost of redemption of It's own
currency and the cost of transpor-
tation between the banks and the
treasury. This Secretary MacVeagh
declines to do, because it would cost
100000 year.
1t also was desired to have gold
certificates payable to order of the
account of 1900, received in pay
ment of government dues at any
place where such payments could
be made. This the secretary also
declines to recommend on the
ground that it would reduce the
cost of domestic exchange.

The basket ball teams of this
city went down to Miami last
Friday night and wiped up the
mat with the teams of that place.
The gir'S' team of Baxter won
out over Miami by score OF z
to S. The boys game was won
by Baxter by score of 19 to IL.
The Baxter teams played great
ball. In the girls team five OF
the scores were made by Miss
Swannie Smith and two by Miss
Edna Labadie. The real fea-
ture of the game was the field
goals made by Hooker and Jones.
The teams were worn out when
they arrived home Saturday
morning, as the Meteor was sew
eral hours late, arriving here
about $50 in the morning, in
stead of 3, when it should have
arrived. The Miami contingent
made no provision for taking
care of the visiting teams, either
in the way of refreshments or
a comfortable place to stay while
waiting the long-night through,
and as a result some of them are
knocked out with bad colds. We
trust the Baxter teams will heap
Goals of fire on the heads of the
Miamiites when they make this
city a visit by making their visit
pleasant. But then, to be de-
feated by Baxter was enough TO
make the Miami team sore.

Mining News
Continued from page 4.

Drying up of the roads is al
lowing the mines to load their
ores this week, and therefore a
good turn-in should be made for
the present week from all camps.
Work of removing the Omaha
mill to Nationwide, where it is
to be erected on the Lolita shaft,
at which point the company has
an exceedingly rich deposit, is
being expedited, and the last OF
the mill ann belongings will be
hauled this week.
The hopper and tramway at
the south shaft of the late Omaha
property has been purchased by
the Tennessee Metal Producing
Co., and will be used in INSTALL
ing the tramway from the Mas
cotte mine to its new mill, which
it has recently bought of the
Baxter Mining Company, pre-
viously known as the Quivera
property.
A new 3-inch pump has been
installed in the Big -Four shaft
by ]. w. Barnes, where some OF
the richest ore in the camp is be-
ing mined. In extending the
pump seat, the shooting showed
up an immense face of free ore
which verifies the drillings al
this level.

this country should realize what
a burden their government is
coming to be. We know what
vast sums have been spent ard
are being spent for army and
navy and pensions, but we do
not always realize how great has
been the increase in the ordinary
expenditures. 1t was pointed out
during the last campaign that
almost 100, names had been
added to the nations pay roll
during the administration OF
President Roosevelt. This in
volved an increase of salaries Of
$40, 900, 900. The increase in
employees was at the rate OF A.
900 a year, and in salaries OF
$40, 100000 a year. In the last
full year of Mr.. Roosevelt this
rate of increase was exceeded,
the number of new employees be-
ng $4,000. And the figures are
still climbing. We now have
$4,000 public servants, as
against 1913, 900 last year.
These figures should make us
pause. We are now paying more
than 100000 in salaries
alone. Each man, woman ard
child is being taxed $3.50 each
year simply for the ordinary ex-
peuses of the government, a sum
which used to be almost enough
to meet all expenses, ordinary
and extraordinary. No one doubts
that the government could, If it
we're organized and conducted
on business principles-as it
probably never will be-be carried
on for one-half the amount now
used to maintain it. But even if
we can not get on a business
basis, we ought to be able to
make some retrenchment in OF r.
pay rool. The land is filled with
special agents, secret service men,
inspectors and inspectors of in
spectors. Special counsel have
been hired to do work which
other men were paid for doing
and should have done. Assis-
tant attorneys have multiplied
beyond all reason. And the re-
suit is now before us. Nor have
we reached the end.
1t is not surprising that the
President should have a good
deal to say about economy. 1t is
an old-fashioned and almost for
gotten virtue. In these days of
high prices and mounting taxes,
it is we'll that we should give

To those of you who want a
greater Baxter; who can see the
need of an electric railway con-
&C ing Baxter to the great lead

can see the many opportunities
presented to every business man,
real estate owner and citizen OF
our city and vicinity: Let US
tn ~ow S de every petty Jealousy,
if there is any, and get in be-
hind this, the most meritorious
proposition for a railroad to the
mines the city has ever had pre-

1t has been intimated that be-
cause DR.. Jones was instrument
tai in-getting Mr.. Harper here
to put this deal through, that
he, DIR. Jones, was to put his
plant in at an excessive price.
To this we quote Mr.. Harper's
answer to our inquiry about the
plant, and what price was to be
paid for some:-
DIR. Jones has never made a
price. The plant is one that
would be a credit to a town three
times as large as Baxter Springs.
1t represents several years earn
ings and labor on the part OF the
doctor. He realizes the need OF
a railroad connecting Baxter
with the mines, and only says
The plant represents many hard
drives through the cold, many
nights among the sick, many
embarassments and obstacles
overcome. If it will make a
railroad to the mines a reality,

power. want the road because
Baxter Springs needs it and 1t

we take over the plant, which at

will be appraised and / am in
favor of allowing the DR.. every
cent its worth. No greater pub
lie spirit can exist than that
demonstrated by DR.. Jones and
his push, enterprise and sacri-
fee will surely made the under
taking a success.
The statement above mace
should arouse the patritism OF
every Baxter citizen and a re-

The electric line in question
will cut no figure with the steam
railroad we hope to get. Let us
go after them all, but be careful
to land the first and surest.
If Baxter people don't awake
to the Importance of this under

last chance.
Such undertakings when ac-
complished mean much.
