HIS LOVE AND

By STACEY E. BAKER

II was most surprising.
Young Jack Alton left his board
ing house with the avowed intention
Of taking a short stroll. This same
boarding house, let il be understood,
was an institution Of long standing
and eminent responsibility.
Therefore imagine the surprise Of
the boarder Of three years upon re-
turning from his half-holiday jaunt
TO find his harboragc a matter Of
past history. A great sign "To Lct''
had been nailed hastily TO the front
door, and Atoms key admitted the
startled youth to dusty, empty halls.
Again Alton sought the street to
stare stupidity at the number above
the door. The suddenness Of this
fitting was beyond him. His brain
refused to attempt the solving Of the
problem.
He drew his ego out Of a mental
vacuum to find hat he had again en-
tered the house and was stumbling
disconsolately about from one de-
serted room to another. Such shocks
as this have disturbed the delicate

The woman had no reason to expect
a better match for Gracia than this
terribly-in-loye young man.
Alton made a weary exit from the
house. The "to let sign Tapped de-
risively in the face Of the youth.
Angrily he tore it down, waddel it
up and heayed it into the gutter.
"How the deuce" he uminated.

Mrs. barton was a woman to have
her say. There was no deceit about
her. If she did not favor Alton he
should have known 1t long before
this; and then he would have been
called upon TO moyc-not her.
After q fruitlcss search in the out
side mail box for a letter or note ex-
planning, Alton strobe angrily down
the steps and toward the Little Gem
The Little Gem was a picture

Although it was Saturday after

Alton swung, a strikingly good

The State has been assessing
the property Of public service

Of its real value. while farming
and industrial property has been
assessed at from 20 TO 40 per
cent Of the real value, the var
iation being due to assessors and

Governor H4dley wnuld have ell
property listed M its real value
and assessed at a rate sufficient
to raise necessary revenue, so
that all property would be- equally
taxed, no matter where located
or by whom owasd. Nothing
else is equitable or fair.
The constitution and the laws
Of Missouri contemplate the tax
alton Of all property at its real
value. The constitution provides
that the maximum rate Of taxa
ton upon such value shall b e
fifteen cents OF each one hundred
dollars for state purposes. Un-

few years ago an additional rate
of two cents g levied to pay
annual interest on the certificates
of Indebtedness issued by Dem

up the loss of the money and

Close Range Study of William
George Jordan, Author of
the Plan - Subjects With
Which He Believes the New
Body Should Deal Nay
Become Permanent Fixture.

OF office expires on Feb. i. shortly aft
er the meeting.
While this conference is held in the
White House, like the two previous
ones, it is only out Of courtesy to the
president and is not a fixed policy. Mr..
Jordan's idea is that the house Of gov
ernors should deal with state as dis
tnct from federal policies and for this
reason believes that future meetings
should be held away from Washington.
To avoid jealousies they should make
q rotation of state capitals.
There is a rather interesting story
of the initial meeting of the governors
at the White House. / tell this as Mr..
Jordan told it to me. In 1907 he sent
his plan to each Of the governors and
to other prominent persons, including
President Roosevelt. In response he
heard from many Of the executives
approving the idea, some in most en-
thusiastic terms; also from leading
educators and others. From the desk
in his compressed library he took out
a sheaf Of these priceless missives
with the remark that '.some day they
may be historic" Among them was
one of warm commentator from
former President Charles William
Eliot Of Harvard, but none from the
White House. The acknowledgment
from Roosevelt came in a different
way. Shortly after Mr.. Jordan issued
his letter news item appeared in the
papers that the president intended call
ing a conference of governors when
ever occasion arose. 1t was several
months before that occasion appeared
Then came the call for the famous
convention of governors held on May
13, 1908, to consider the conservation
of natural resources. 1t is a regret
table fact that William George Jordan,
the true author of the plan, was ne.

the New York papers has given him
full credit and is running an editorial

Its Moral Influence.

house of governors should have power
other than advisory. II should hope 1T

Its moral Influence. however, would be
great Nor would he attempt to predict
what proportions it might assume in
future. lit should cover the buffer ter
ritery between the federal government
and the individual states. There are
only about eighteen general subjects
reserved to congress, while Mr.. Jordan
has found fifty or more with which
the house OF governors might properly
deal Among these are marriage and
! divorce laws rights of married Me-
men, trusts, Insurance, child labor,
capital punishment. direct primaries

So much for the man, Now for his
Idea The two meetings of tine govern
