Kissed across the river bursting Dan
gerously close to men OF troop ii OF
the Third L. S. cavalry, which pa

ness of their assault. deliberately turn
ed their guns at groups OF women
and children who had sought refuge
on the American side of the stream.

A BUSINESS BASIS
LEGISLATURE QUICKLY PASSES
BILL FOR REORGANIZATION
OF ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.
EXPERTS WILL DIRECT WORK
elimination of Extended Conference
for New Method of Handling APP
preparations Seen in Proposal Of
Joint Finance Committee.

Madison. - Quick approval was
given by both houses of the finance
committees plan to reorganize the
states finances. The resolution and
bill, appropriating 81, 500 to employ
experts for the preliminary survey,
went through the senate without de-
lay
1t is understood that the experts
will be brought to Madison within a
few days, and that they will enter
into the work of sizing up the state
finances Immediately.
For several months the governor
and other republican leaders have
been formulating scheme to put
the finances of the state upon an en-
tirely new basis. The finance com
mittee, now joint committee, de-
Cided 10 advise that Wisconsin's fl
nances be put upon true business
level; that the ideas carried out i'm
Greater New York and in Chicago be
followed in cutting down expenses
whore they could be cut down and,
so far as possible, adopt a system UNI
der which every department and
bureau should make report to each
Legislature of its needs for the COM
ing two years.
The resolution introduced sets
forth that, Because the complex
financial problems now before the
legislature are of a nature requiring
the utmost technical knowledge and
expert help, the committee desires TO
set before the legislature a harmoni-
Gus, just and economical formulation
Of finances of the state, so as TO give
clear and concise data"
Then follows bill which sets
forth the purposes Of the work It
appropriates $500 for the task Of
compiling the figures in a manner
that will make clear 10 every legis-
lator and every voter the exact fnan-
cial status Of the state.
The main idea of the committee in
introducing the resolution and bin
is TO make It possible for every citi-
zen to know exactly the truth re-
garding state finances. Then, it is
argued, the people will understand
the needs of the state. These state
ments to be given out under the
plan also will tell exactly how much
money is needed to run the govern
ment, and just how that money will
be used

EXPOSES PLOT TO
RUIN COTTON CROP
Spectators Plan to Infect Fields
With Boil Weevil.
HAVE A MILLION INSECTS
Governor.Elect Smith OF Georgia
Warns Growers Of South OF
Scheme of Two New York
ers to Make Fortune.

Atlanta, Ga. - Goy-Elect Hoke
Smith exposed a plot of New
York cotton spectators to infect the
cotton fields In Georgia and the Caro-
linas with the boil weevil for the pur-
pose of cutting future crops short
and enabling the spectators to win
fortune by going long of the cot
ton market.
The first information came in let
ter to Mr.. Smith from man, whose
name he refuses to give, but in whom
he places entire confidence. At Mr..
Smiths request the writer came here
from New York for a personal visit
with the governor-elect
Convinced by the evidence offered
by this informant, Governor-Elect
Smith has given prompt warning to
the farmers and the planters OF the
south that two plotters have in their
possession at least l000O 900 live boil
weevils, and are waiting their oppor-
tunity to scatter these disastrous In
sects over Georgia and South Caro-
lima.
The exposure has created the live
lest interest throughout Georgia, es-
pecially In view of the fact that no
more than two months ago the ex-
perts OF the country gathered at At
lanta to make plans for combating
this insect. 1t has been travelling to-
ward this state with alarming ra-
pidity, and is now due to reach here
in the natural course Of events in less
than two years time Unless this In
vasion Is blocked. the loss to Georgia
and Carolina will run into many mil
lions a year
After receiving the first letter Gov
ernor- Elect Smith at once commu-
nicated with Commissioner of Agricul-
ture Hudson and State Entomologist
Worsham regarding plans to keep the
boil weevil from the state.
According to the story of Governor
Elect Smiths informant, two men ap
preached him IN New orleans and So
licited his help in carrying out their
scheme, by means of which they
hoped to reap a fortune. Their idea
was to food Georgia and Carolina
with the boil weevil and buy at once
great quantities of October cotton,
selling when the crop shortage sent
prices higher at the expense Of de
vastating the cotton fields of the two
states for years to come.
The author of the letter says he
swore to the two men that he would
Mr.. Smith are OF the opinion that the
widespread publication and exposure
of the scheme, putting the farmers
on notice, will force the plotters to
abandon their intention.

! day was celebrated here more
! deliberately than ever before, anc
the occasion was made more no
table by the presence OF President
Taft as the guest or honor, and OF
many other distinguished citizens
from various parts Of the country.
President Taft and his party ar
rived early in the afternoon, having
been brought in Congressman Mckin-
ley's private car on the interurbah
from Decatur, where they were met
by Representative Israel Dudgeon OF
Morris, chairman Of the joint legisIa-
tive committee in charge Of the pro
gram. AS soon as Mr.. Taft alighted
from the car the parade was formed
with Maj-Gen. Edward c. Young or
Chicago as grand marshal and AdJt-
Gen. f. S. Dickson as his CHIEF OF
staff
The First regiment, from Chicago,
acted as an escort TO the president,
and that regiments band furnished the

TAFT URGES PACT.
Address at Columbus, O., Plea for
Canadian Agreement.

Columbus, O. In an address
at the National Corn exposition here
President Taft declared that reel
procity with Canada will Benefit the
entire United States-the farmer,
manufacturer, railroad company, mid
dleman and the varehouseman.
While his speech was devoted es-
pecially to showing that the farmer
had nothing to fear, but much to gain.
he attempted to prove also that all
the other interests of the country
would be benefited.
I'VE have with pioneer energy
pushed on to the Pacific" the presi-
dent said, land taken up all the good
land. We are spending millions to
reclaim the arid and semiarid lands
of the great western desert. Should
we not by taking down a useless and
unnecessary tariff wall bring within
our agricultural resources the great
plains of the northwest when they can
bring to us what we need, and that
without hurting any Of our own peo.
ple?"
Canada is our neighbor on the
north for 5000 miles Her population
is English Scotch and French. Her
soil is like ours Her traditions are
the same as ours Her language is
ours. Her climate is temperate, like
ours. except that her growing seasons
are shorter and she cannot raise corn
In great quantities. She has free
popular government, with a wage
earning class as intelligent and as
we'll paid as ours. 1t is difficult to see
In what respect her farmers have any
advantage over our own except a vir-
gin soil in the far northwest"
How is the farmer to be hurt"
the president asked. Then he took
up the effect 1t would have on corn
and wheat prices, on the value Of
farm lands In this country and on the
United States milling industry. He
declared that 'in respect to corn the
American farmer is king and will re-
main So reciprocity or no reciproc-
ity." AS to wheat. he said the domes-
tic price is governed by the world
price, and that "the sending Of any
part Of Canada's surplus through our
country instead of through Canada to
be mllled or to be exported without
milling will not perceptibly or mate
rally affect the price of wheat for
our farmers"

Malayan Tree OWellers.

Human tree dwellers are not yet
extinct. A Malayan newspaper de-
scribes an interesting discovery made
in South Canara. The Kudiyas, living
near Managalore include, it appears,
a clan who have become tree dwellers
by necessity. They live in huts amid
palms and other tall trees in order TO
protect themselves against attacks of
elephants and other wild beasts of the
jungle. Their clothing consists of
the bark of certain kinds of jungle
trees and they subsist on yams and
meat. They are dark skinned and
noted for their fine physique, the wom-
en- being even more muscular than
the men, and one of their chief occu,
pations is honey gathering, very dan.
gerous employment. since the bees of
Canara build their honeycombs on
the treetops. often as much as l20
feet high.
