HE FAVORS A BUDGET SYSTEM
President Taft Wants Government Ex. pendtures Controlled by h.
 comes of Departments.

New York, Feb. 25.-Fresident Taft came out fiatly in favor of budget system by which the governments finances may be regulated. in a speech which he delivered before the board of trade at Newark, N. Y. The presi- dent talked of waste in the various de. partments of the government and sug. gested that the way to curb it Is to have a system such as is in vogue in other countries where schedule of expenditures is made up with refer. ence to the income
 The president touched broadly upon other phases of government policy, advocating among other things, the quick completion of the Panama canal to be paid for by the issued bonds, the pushing of river Improvements and the building up of the army and navy.
 Llhe his predecessor, President Tal, sees the necessity of expanding the navy and he advocated the construc- tion of at least two battleships year while the Panama canal is being rush. ed to completion.

MAKE FARM LIFE ATTRACTIVE
Keep the Children From the City. is pr. Gunnlson's Remedy for
 High Cost of Living.

New oYrk, Feb. 24.-President Al. mon Gunnison of St. Lawrence Univer- sity at Canton, N. r.. ascribes the high cost of living partly to the ambition of farmers children to make names for themselves in the cities. He said:
 T consider that one of the chic, causes of the high cost of food prod. ucts Is due to the depopulatlon of the farms through the ambition. enterprise and initiative of the farmers children, which lead them to emigrate to cities and towns.
 "The remedy Is obvious. Change the lure of the city to the lure of the land. Stop ---e migration of the farm ers' children from the farm by mak' ing farm life attractive and profitable, not by increasing the acreage, but by snlarging the crops; lessen the labor of the hands by increasing the labor of the brains.
 The earth is like wizards hat, out of which cleverness and skill can bring wonders. It is laboratory oi riches for the man who will bring the scientific methods and knowledge which characterize modern business Intensive farming will double the crops. increase the quantity and qual ity of the products and bring produc ton up to the level of consumption"

TURNlPS FREE TO OHIO PEOPLE
A Toledo Man Takes Novel Way to Fight High Prices of
 Foods.

Toledo. Feb. 24.-Telling the people that he was giving them the best tur- nips he had raised and that he was doing this as a warning against high priced grocers, Col. J. c. Bonner, prominent in the Republican councils of Ohio, brought down upon his head the abuse of hundreds of Toledo's best known merchants. He hauled to that city an entire carload of the best tur- nips raised on his farm at Chillicothe. He advertised that he would give them away in plentiful quantities to those who needed them. He made a speech to the assembled people. who came with baskets, boxes and sacks, telling them that he would not sell the produce to the wholesalers because of their low price and that he desired rather to dish them out to the people and pay the freight himself. Col. Bon ner says that both wholesalers and retailers are making "scads' of money as their profit and that he doesn't pro pose to aid them. Four more carloads of turnips are to be nven away fin Toledo by me distinguished politician.

WOULD VOTE ON PROHIBITION
High License League of Oklahoma al Guthrie Preparing Plans for
 Resubmission.

Guthrie. Ok. Feb. 25-Offlcers of the Oklahoma Local Option and High License League. employing Judge c. B. Stuart of McAlester as their attorney, are here to perfect their plans for the resubmission of the statewide prohibi- ton to the voters, wiping out the pro hibition provisions placed in the State hood Enabling Act by Congress, as we'll as the extension of prohibition over other parts of the state by the constitutional convention Nearly 60,. 600 petitioners have asked Gov. Has. kell to submit the prohibition ques- tion. The governor has taken the view that this may not be done. The resubmissionists hold that under a de cision of the state supreme court the mere presentation of petitions to the secretary of state is legal filing.

Railroad Wreck Averted by Boys.

Quite little hero is Harry Hunter, 12-year-old boy of Olympia. Wash, who saved heavily loaded passenger train from a disastrous wreck one day lately. Hunter and Sam Burrows, a boy of the same age, were walking along the right of way, about two miles east of Olympia, when they discovered a broken rail which left an opening in the track several feet long, Knowing a passenger train was due to pass soon. the boys determined to give warning Hunter started up the track in the direction of Tacoma, and Bur. rows started toward Olympia, both running at top speed Hunter had pro ceeded but a short distance when he discovered the train bearing down upon him. Seizing a handkerchief he waved it frantically For a time if ap- peared the engineer would not heed his signal. but the train eventually be. gan to slow down and was brought to a stop within five feet of the broken rail. Passengers and train crew lion. ized the boy hero and took him aboard the train.

NEBRASKA SUFFERS FROM COLD
Valentine and chadron Report Tenn perature of 22 Below Zero-Rail-
 road Trains Delayed.

Omaha, Feb. 24.-The most int snse cold prevails throughout the traGs-Mis souri country and in Nebraska there is not a slngle point at which the temperature stands above zero. In. stead of abating. the cold continues to increase in intensity
 In western Nebraska the tehipera. ture is 20 degrees below zero, while at Missouri river cities, the thermome. ters stand at from six to ten degrees below that point
 Valentine and Chadron, towns in the extreme northwestern part of the state. in the edge of the mountains. report 22 degrees below zero with very little snow. The government station at omaha shows six degrees below zero. Railroad trains are delayed from two to six hours, due to inability of the locomotives to keep steam in the face of the intense cold

BELIEVES HE HAS SOLVED
 THE PROBLEM OF FLYING
A German Aviator Hs- Machine Which He Says Can be Driven
 by One Man Fewer.

Berlin, Feb. 24.-The human bird is here. Gustave Iilienthal, an aviator, believes he has solved the problem Of flying slowly. lie has a machine which he says can be driven by one man power. Lilienthal, who formerly was a railway engineer for the Aus tralian government. asserts that the Wrights have infringed upon his pat ents and those of his brother, the late Otto Lilienthal He has patents, he says, which will invalidate the Wrights clalms. The Lllienthal broth CTS invented the curved aeroplane sur faces which the Wrights have adopted.
 Otto Lilienthal was the pioneer ex perImenter with glioIng machines and his book on the subject did more than anything else 10 stimulate the Wrights to begin their tests. lte built an arti- ficial hill near Berlin and in attempt ing to glide from its top was killed.
 T was led to my solution by watch ing the albatross, which cannot rise when the wind is low. It gets up into the afr by canting the curved wings AOi Ndiu to thC piOptI dHStc tO sCt lut wind pressure. When the wind pres sure is sufficient I raise the wings of my machine in the same way, without muscular or motor energy just like a bird. No energy Is exerted to raise the wings. 4-.e downward beat of the birds wing is produced by the action of the operators feet.
 "The Wrights adopted the curved wings. which was half the problem. Where they failed 10 progress is in failing to further pursue the problem of wing adjustment.
 My machine, which is almost ready for flying tests. has nothing to do with the machine I have invented. which Is driven by bicycle gearing. expect to start from any housetop or raised mount where I can get leap forward against the wind. The best flyer Is he who can fly the slowest. This is natures iueal, the Wrights are nearer to 1t than any one else, because they have been able to use less motor pow CT"

.F|FTYCASESD DECIDED
THE FEDERAL SUPREME COURT HANDS DOWN DECISIONS AF-
 FEcTING MANY STATES.
HARD BLOW FOR MIXED TRAINS
Kansas Came Out Victorious in It's Fight With the Missouri Pacific for Separate Passenger Trains on the Branch Lines.

Washington, Feb. 23.--In more than 50 decisions the supreme court of the United States passed on the admins tration of justice as it had appeared in the lower federal courts and state tribunals in more than half the states in the Union.
 The state of Kansas came out vic torious in It's fight with the Missouri Pacific Railroad company for the in- stallation of separate passenger trains on branch road from Madison, Kan. to the Kansas-Missouri state line.
 It was in this case that the court announced that doctrine that reaches every state that even if this passen- ger train was operated at loss the railroad was under a duty to perform such services as long as 1t retained It's charter.
 The state of Alabama had it's statNte levying an innual franchise tax on TOT eign corporations declared unconstitu- tional Railroads brought the case to the supreme court. The state of GeoI gia lost in most of its contentious In she attempt to levy on the Georgia Railroad and Banking company prop erty and franchise taxes, despite charter exemptions.
 The importance of state railroad laws decided exceeded any other line of cases. The state of Minnesota won complete victory over the Great Northern Railway company and the Chicago Great Western Railway com pany, which had resisted the states attempt to levy 4 per cent gross earnings tax on them.
 The state of South Carolina likewise won a victory over railroads when the court adopted the view of the supreme court of South Carolina that the law requiring railroads to pay penalty of $50 for failure to adjust within 90 days claims for loss applied only to traffic within the state.

CHILDREN ALWAYS IN PHOTO
Pictures of Suffragettes Would Seem Incomplete Without That Ac-
 compartment.

The photographer slapped down tray full of photographs.
 Look at those pictures he said. 'and see if you can find anything pe- culiar about them"
 The visitor looked but could find nothing especially noteworthy.
 "Suffragettes, every last one Of them, said the photographer. Look again. Nothing peculiar yet?"
 Another and more painstaking scrutiny revealed nothing remarka- ble
 Didn't you notice the children in the pictures?" asked the photogra- pher That's what I wanted you to make a note of Almost every woman in that stack of pictures has been photographed with child. That's a habit the suffragettes have. have photographed lot of these strenuous danes, and I find that they are more likely to be taken with child in their arms than women who don't care a rap about the cause.
 "The severest criticism leveled at the suffragette movement is that 1t de stroys a woman's desire for family life; but these pictures don't show 1t. Maybe the child element is introduced for effect--I don't know. Maybe the children are just borrowed for the oc casion, but, no matter what the mo tive or whose the children, 1t is g mighty forlorn suffragette who gets photographed without kid at her el bow New York Times.

Guthrie, Ok, Feb. 23.-In a message to the legislature his fourteenth, Gov Haskell proposed for consideration an amendment to the state constitution permitting the enactment of recall law. A number of legislators are in favor of a recall applying to all cleo tive state officers. In a number of Oklahoma cities having the commis- sion form of government the recall is included in their charters, but there is doubt about it's validity under the Oklahoma constitution.

WOMEN STUDENTS ARE THE BEST
Boys Who Fail Greatly outnumber the Girls at the Kansas
 University.

Topeka. Feb 24.-The list of fail ures or Hunks" in the college of lib eral arts at the University of Kansas has turned the dean and the heads oi departments into human question marks. The surprising fact is thai among the members of the freshmen class who technically severed their connection with the university by fail. ing in more than one-third of their work, there are five times as many men as women, though the class il made up about equally of men and women. This fact gives rise to the question. Are the women better stu dents than the men? Are the men lazier than the women? Are outside attractions stronger for the men than the women?"
