County Auditor Allen has been un-
able to appoint deputy ssaler for
Marion county. for the reason that II
is up TO the county commissioners to
purchase the necessary standards. The
matter will be brought to their at
tention at an early date and some
action taken looking To the Immediate
appointment of deputy sealer OF
weights and measures.
Quite number Of grocers have been
calling on Auditor Allen for the pur-
pose Of learning just what the law
contemplates. what Il specifies must
be sold by weight and how much OF
certain articles will constitute a peck,
bushe or other unit Of measure. Gran =
berries seem to be one of the most
troublesome of the articles, and the
grocers want to know whether they
are TO be sold by weight or number
and " by weight, how many pounds
will make a quart or other measure.
Mr.. Allen said he would stand q
search and the grocers will probably
have to figure It out for themselves.
At any rate, the county auditor has
decided that he will appoint a deputy
sealer OF weights and measures Just

Gil has offered the private interests

Mr.. benson Is traveller for a

THE rights of the tramway COM
pany to the streets of Melbourne do
not expire for four years." Mr.. Den
son continued, but the city Is so
keen to take over the property, which
falls automatically. into the hands OF
the city in four years, that 1t is will
ing to pay over the $2,000,00O right

plans TO do away with the cable SER

four cents, but the shorter distance
one travels the less one has TO pay.

'LOR|MER DECISION
IS LUR|D RECORD
Senator LaFallette Says Honor Of
Nation Is at Stake and Plesds for
Another Investigation.

WASHINGTON. May 26.-Declar-
Ing that the honor OF the nation il at
stake and pleading for an inquiry by
nve new senator's who have not yet
recorded their sentiments in the case,
Senator LaFollette concluded his
speech on the Lorimer case In the
senate today.
In asserting that new evidence COM
PEELED the senate to make a second
Investigation into the charges that
Lorimer was elected to the senate
from Illinois by bribery, LaFollette
said In part. -
1T Is a deeply significant fact that
for seventy years after this govern
ment was established, the United
States senate had never been humili-
ated by call to investigate charge
OF corruption In the election Of one OF
Its members.
Since that time, eleven senators
have been summoned to the bar of
the senate to defend the charge of
bribery. In recent years allegations
OF fraud and corruption In connection
with the election of United States
senators have been rife In scores of
legislatures where the direct evidence
has failed to warrant formal charges.
The decision In the Lorimer case
makes an unfortunate precedent. In
some respects II stands alone lurid
page In the history of lowered sena-
torial standards.
Blind indeed the men who will
not see the certain and inevitable re-
suit.
The abolition Of caucuses and con-
ventions and the nomination of all
candidates by direct vote, the election
OF United States senators by direct
vote, the nomination OF presidential
candidates by direct vote, the initi-
alive, the referendum and the recall
all these are but the logical outcome

Wealth OF State.

Wcdttn on otdtC.
LANSING, Mich, May 26s--James
Finlay, OF New York city, the mining
expert selected to re-appraise the min
eral wealth OF the. state, arrived in
Lansing this morning for conference
with the state tax commission and to
outline plans for the work which will
be taken up as soon as he completes
his organization.
Mr.. Finlay said this morning that II
would require several assistant engi-
neers and a corps Of clerks to conduct
the clerical work. Whether or not
the headquarters will be at Lansing
has not been decided.
Unless he changes his present
plans work of re-appraising the iron,
copper. salt and coal mines will begin
soon, while the gypsum, cement and
stone quarries will be taken up at the
same time.
Mr.. Finlay says he realizes the
enormity Of the undertaking but says
that 1t Is his intention to make fair
and impartial appraisal, and with
competent assistants claims that his
report will be ready for the state
board of equalization before the third
Monday OF August.

OAK AND HICKORY
WILL SOON Be GONE
Turned Goods Plants Must Go Out
of Business Within 10 Years, Says
F. A. Curtis, Chicago Expert.

Walnut. ash and poplar are now
practically exhausted. commercially,
and hickory and oak will be within 10
years." said II. A. Curtis, of Chicago,
chairman of the National Hickory as
ISOLATION, to The Times, in the Hotel
Pcntchartrain. Friday morning. Mr..
Curtis came here as delegate to the
convention of the Bent Rim Manu-
facturers' club. He says he has made
close study of the lumber situation
in the United States and Canada,
along with government representa-
tives. and that he knows whereof he
speaks.
Hickory and oak are getting scare
er every year." Mr.. Curtis continued.
land IL simply means that the manu-
facturers Of turned goods must make
the best Of the next 10 years. After
that they will have to go out OF bust
ness, because of the absence of hick-
CRY and oak At the present rate OF
consumption, these two classes OF
wood cannot last more than a decade,
and oak may not even last that long,
because of the fact that II Is used
mere extensively than hickory.
ory is, want to tell you that 1t sd
venced $40 per thousand feet in price
last year. In the last three years IL
has gone up 20 per cent on the stump
age basis, and Is due for another big
increase during the next year. At
the present time, there Is no hickory
in Michigan or Canada; all the nick
DRY used around here comes from the
south.
1T takes from 20 to 100 years TO
produce a hickory tree of commercial
size, that is, big enough to be cut
down and converted into lumber. and
the slow growth OF the tree Is partly
responsible for the present scarcity OF
the wood. Government investigation
has shown that hickory tree can
not possibly be grown to full size In
much less than century, even under
the most favorable circumstances"
The Bent Rim Manufacturers club,
which held its meetings in the Hotel

officers: President, F. b. Anderson.

New Lighting System Will Permit

Within a week, the central police

penters have been busy remodeling
the upper floor of the police head
quarters, the purpose being to enlarge

The bureau will be under the gen.
erai supervision of Charles Carmody,
chief OF the bureau of Identification.
and he will have the assistance OF
Fred Quackenbush, the city photo
grapher. Carmody has been In charge
OF the bureau for several years and

Of the betrayal OF public trust by pub
lie officials.
There has grown up a scorn and
contempt for the plain citizen. IL has
become common to refer 10 the peo-
pie as mob and the peoples rule as
the rule OF the mob
This is the peoples government:
They VIII not permit organized privi-
lege TO destroy Its vital principle.
They know that the initiative and
referendum will place In the hands OF
the people the power TO protect them
selves against the mistakes OF indif-
ference OF their representatives.
The recall will enable the people
to dismiss from public service a rep
resentative whenever he shall cease
to serve the public interest. Then
no jackpot politician can hold his of.
fee In defiance OF the will OF a con
stituency whose commission he has
dishonored.
Wherever representative govern
ment fails IL fails because represent
alive proves incompetent or false to
his trust.
"The initiative, referendum and re-
call will insure real representative
government. and will prove SO effec-
tive as check that II will rarely be
found necessary TO invoke the powers
conferred against unworthy represent
atives in any enlightened and pro-
gressive commonwealth.
La Toilette concluded with an argu-
ment for the adoption of his resolu-
ton and presenting many precedents
to show that the naming of com
mittee In resolution was not new
departure. He said that as the com
mittee on privileges and elections had
already tried the second. second de-
cision from II, whatever the nature.
