City TO Carry Case Iigher-At an
informal conference the commission
ers authorized City Attorney G. A
Shallberg to proceed with legal steps
necessary to having the Fifth avenue
widening case heard in the supreme
court of the state. The conference fol-
lowed a meeting at Attorney w. R.
Moore's office, when property owners
favorable to the widening improvement
requested that their counsel petition
the city council for a trial OF the case
| in the highest court in Illinois. The
city commission took no formal action,
but made it clear that it's mempers are
emphatic in their desire TO have the
supreme court hear the case. There
are persistent rumoTs that Attorney
w. a. Meese, for the DIRECTORS to the
widening, will go into the circuit court
here and secure an injunction if the
municipality attempts to carry the
widening case into the supreme court,
basis for the injunction to be a chal-
lenge as TO the legality of the commits
sion form of law and the existing city
government, the attorneys point to be
that the present government in Moline
has no standing in law.

DEMOCRATS LIKELY TO
STARVE TARIFF BOARD

Washington, April 21.-Not only will
there be no tariff legislation looking
to the establishment of a permanent
board along the lines advocated by
the president at this session of con-
gress, but a strong probability exists
that the present tariff bill will be lit
orally starved out.
The house democrats are strongly
set against the tariff board PROPOSE
ton. They ridicule the present board
because of it's slowness and its fail
ure to show results. AS yet, it is
stated, the board has not gathered
complete data regarding a single
schedule, and that if the present dem
ocratic majority in the house were
compelled to wait upon it'for it's data
it would be hopelessly handicapped in
carrying out it's pledges. The belief
prevails that the democrats in the
House will practically abolish the Ia
riff board at this session by declining
to make an appropriation for It's sal,
aries or expenses.
John J. Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn, the
new chairman of the house committee
on appropriations, led the fight against
the tariff bill in the last session and
succeeded in killing it in the last
hours by most skillfully conducted
f1libuster. He is intensely hostile to
the tariff board project, regards the
present board as utterly useless and
will, it is believed, use all his infu-
ence to prevent any appropriation go
ing through the house for it.
AS chairman of the appropriations
committee he can prevent a dollar
from going to the board
Over ON the senate side there are
signs that the insurgent republicans
propose to renew the fight for a ia

by improved weather conditions over

noted rains in South Texas, but these

any kind of farm work, but that two

1. Thou shalt everlastingly keep
at the good work and let nothing
discourage thee.
2. Tack thou a board over those
treacherous holes in bridges, and
thereby saves the bones of both thine
and thy neighbors' valuable horses.
8. Thou shalt trim out all brush
and hedgerows bordering the road
that the sun and the wind of thy
Creator may keep thine highway dry
and that passers-by may not be suffo-
Gated unto death.
4. The noble drag, being they
handiest and most efficient weapon
thou shalt WELD it twice a week at
the very least. Blessed is the man
who useth the drag for his fellow
mans sake.
8. Thou shalt open all drain-ditches
at the side of the road bordering thy
farm, lest the water collect in low
places and form a mire in which thou
or thy neighbor may get stuck,
whereupon the recording angel lis
teneth with great pity to wicked words
and swapping of the whip.
6. Toss thou those aggravating
and damaging stones from the track
of thine highway; for thou grittesl
thy teeth in anger and thinketh wick
ed sayings when thy vehicle striketh
them. And they do knock the
''stuffing" right out of hty buggy anj
