tn ousands of agate lines of reports of proceedings, financial or otherwise, but through such expert investiga- tions of conditions as are made by such an independent body as the finance commission provided for in the Boston charter; expert control, mainly through publicity, or technical operations such as handling the pub lie service industries. whether under public or. private ownership, muni- cipal accounting, etc., as now exer- cised through certain state commis- sioners; better methods of selecting competent men for expert technical services in the lines mentioned. prob ably to be developed through the de mands of such state commissions for better service and the adoption of better salaries; more secure tenure of office of such employees. undoubt- edly a consequence of the adoption of the preceding suggestions and of the short ballot, whereby tho execu- tive and legislative officer of officers are elected and all administrative officers are appointed under reason able civil service regulations. Again the independent civil service conl- mission provided in the Boston char ter, is worthy of study. It exercises minimum of authority overtthe ap- pointing officers at the same time that 1t comes very near always pro- viding competent persons from which they may select their employees.
 ''Each city has quite as good gov ernment as its citizens deserve. All that the best charter can do is to make 1t as easy as possible for tho people to assume control when tn ey so desire, and as difficult as possible for the forces opposed to good gov ernmens to cover their tracks and shift the responsibility for their acts In almost any community publicity Is almost the only necessity. This requirement. was omitted from the Indianapolis charter and most of the complaints made of it's municipal ofti- cials would have had no ground fl those officials had known in advance that all there acts and the cOnse- quences therof would be recorded and the records thrown open for all to see"

LONG INVOLVED IN
 INDIAN CONTRACTS Former Senator From Kansas
 Gives Testimony TEN PER CENT RAKE-OFF kansnn Tells Investigating Committee That He Had m Agreement
 With McMurray on the
 Contracts
TEN PER CENT RAKE-oFI

Washington, January T.-Former Senator Chester I. Long of Kansas told the special investigation committee of the House this afternoon that he had arranged with John F. McMurray. the Oklahoma Indian land lawyer, where by he was to receive in addition to his expense 10 per cent of the amount MT. McMurray received as his fee in the Choctaw and Chickasaw land cases. MT. Long said his connection with the land cases was contingent upon the approval or recognition by the govern ment of the contract between McMur ray and the Indians. He had repre- sented MT. McMurray, he said, in two hearings before the Attorney General and Secretary of the Interior.
 MT. McMurray had contracts with the two tribes, covering claims for seg regate1 coal and asphalt lands, and individual contracts with the mem bers of the two tribes, covering all their claims and including the sc- called "leased land district
 In behalf of Mr. McMurray Senator Long said that he submitted all these contracts to the Attorney General and Secretary of the Interior with the pro posal that the federal officials deter mine what would be a proper per centage as fee to McMurray.
 Former Senator Long was asked if he had prepared and handed to Sem ator Gallinger of New Hampshire an amendment to be inserted in confer ence in the general deficiency bill at the last session in place of the amend ment that Senator Gore had added to the bill MT. Long admitted that he had, but he said the form in which the amendment finally came from the conference committee was not the form in which he had prepared it. The amendment in question concerned the so-called McMurray contracts, sup posed to involve the fees of about s3,O00,O00 for McMurray in case the Indian rights to the lands are fully established
 The amendment as it was finally re- ported to the Senate by the conference committee provided that the President "shall' approve the contracts made by the individual Indians. Form CT Senator Long testified that as he had given 1t to Senator Gallinger 1t provided that the. President may" approve them
 Under the authority of the word shall" the question at once was raised whether Congress had not virtually or dered the President to approve these contracts instead of leaving it to his discretion. Because of this construc- tion the amendment was recalled and the provision taken out of tho deficiency bill.

Erort to Maintain auorun

Washington, January Lone hund- red and sixty -four absentees in the House of Representatives today brought Representative Dwight of New York, the republican whip, to his feet when a point of no quorum, soon after Speaker Cannon's gavel had fallen, at noon. This action was taken by Mr. Dwight to accentuate the necessity for a full attendance of members during the remainder of the present shcrt terms. Only 48 legislative days remain and MT. Dwight declared today that he would continue daily to make the point of no quorum to insure the ar- tendance of members of the House
 Today's call showed only 225 mem bers present. This was a quorum but 1t was not the full attendance the re- publican leaders are anxious to main tain at this time.
 Mir. Dwight, explaining his position, said the republican leaders had as- sured President Taft that they would do all in their power to assist him in putting through a substantial legisla- tive programme at this session.

What about those trees; are they
AL pruned mp In shapsi IL 90 that's
coed. but II not, let's be at Il quick,
for 1t is getting late. but batter late
than not all.
realize many hate to yet at IL, on
account Of not knowing Just how II
should be done. Like most every
thing else there is right aud q WI nnG
wsy to trim tree. Perhaps q Few
suggestions would he a help.
First. the tools to use. A saw is
the principle tool for an apple tree.
q regular pruning saw 10 much better.
An AK is seldom needed unless you
intend to cut a tree down. It 10 a
poor tool TO prupo with because IL
leaves rough and jagged wound to
heal over. A pair of hand primers
or pair of pruning ehears be found
very convenient, especially nround
peach trees and bushes. Shorp tools
not only make the work easier but
quicker and more pleasant.
One of the first things we must un
derstapd IL the nature OF the tree we
are going to prune. Apples grow on
wood that is ut least two years old.
so the thing to get Is a steady gro " tb.
As limhe get too large aud out OF
balance, they should be cut out, not
topped, or you will get growth of
water shoots that are OF little value.
The center of tree should be ket,
open to let the sunlight IN TO all the
parts.
With the peach tree 1t is quite diff
ferent. Peaches grow best on new
waod, so the more new wood we car
get the more desirable will be ou
crop. We can top the peach ire,
without getting young forest of wa
ter shoots. Our ideal should be I,
get tree we'll balanced who's
branches are we'll spread out, leavinI
an open center. We can treat othe
trees according to their natures.
A good cleaning up would NJ
doubt be Of benefit, especially If "
