GO TO The COUNTRY.
More Prosperity There Than in Cities,
Taft Says.

Cleveland, Jan. 30.-A plea for the
settlement of immigrants in the coun-
try, rather than in the cities was made
by President Taft at the banquet given
by leading Hungarians of Cleveland
that followed the larger functions of
the Tippecanoe club.
The president said that as he looked
about him and saw the type of Ameri
can citizen developed from the foreign
immigrant, he felt that there was no
reason for alarm in the tide of immi
grafton sweeping toward America, SO
long as the proper rules and regula-
lions to keep out the riffraff that no
country wanted were enforced.
But the congestion of the cities
should not be increased by immigrants
when there awaits them in rural dis
tricts greater field for serving the
country they come to make their own.
And said the president, Judging
from the prices we now have to pay for
country produce, I should say that
there would be great deal more
money to be made in the country than
in the cities''
While speaking Mr.. Taft complained
of throat that was like a piece of
raw beef" His voice, however, was
much stronger and clearer than it had
been In the afternoon, when he ad-
dressed Grand Army veterans. In fact
he had surprised those who heard him
then by the clearness and strength with
which he delivered his speech before
the Tippecanoe club so pronounced

City Commissioners Failed to
Raise Emergency Fund.
Law Requires an Amount of
$4,000 for Purpose.
WOULD COVER DEFICIT
Officials Then Would Not Have
Disregarded the Law.
Commission Says Tt Was
Thought Unnecessary.

1t has been discovered at the city
hall that the board of commissioners
violated one more provision in the
commission law when they failed in
making up the budget for 1911 to
raise an emergency fund of $4,000.
If this fund had been raised as the
law requires. there would have been
no deficit on the hands of the com
missioners and the present trouble
would have been avoided
The commission law states specific
ally that an emergency fund shall be
raised in the budget each year. This
fund is for the purpose of taking care
of unforeseen expenses such as result
from an act of God. The smallpox
epidemic. the crematory shortage and
many other special expenses could
have been cared for from the emer-
gency fund.
The emergency fund is created that
the commissioners will not go beyond
the means of their budget distribution.
Each commissioner makes his eStI-
mates for the coming year and it is ms
duty to keep within the bounds of that
expense. If he is a good commissioner
he will do this. If he is a poor COM
missioner the law states that he shall
be thrown out of office 'ipso facto.
The law is made that the taxpayers
The commissioners in making up
their budget for 1911 did not declare an
emergency fund Commissioner Miller.
Tandy, Bone and Mayor Billiard as
sisted in making up this budget Com
missioner Stotts was not in office at
the time
Considered 1t Unnecessary.
AS an excuse Miller. Tandy, Bone and
Billiard say they did not vote an erner-
gency fund because they thought that
it wouldn't be necessary. An emergency
fund is not a necessity 1t is voted to
care for things that are not considered
a necessity-they come as emergencies.
Here is the way the commission law
states it: In the month of July of each
year, or as soon thereafter as practi-
cable, said board of commissioners
shall make a careful estimate of the
probable revenues for the next fiscal
year and appOrtion. the same to the
several departments of the city govern
ment, including a reserve fund of not
to exceed twenty thousand dollars,
to be used only in case of extraOrdi-
nary emergencies, such as act of God
or other sudden disaster. which could
not have been foreseen before their oc-
currence. Any unexpected portion of
such reserve fund created for any year
shall constitute part of such reserve
fund for the next ensuing year.
Lawyers in the city insist that the
city commissioners are legally out Of
office. II is stated by many that ac-
tions taken by the board hereafter are
illegal 1t is stated also that if anyone
in the city wished to enjoin an action
of the commission since the deficit was
made, could make their injunction
stand the courts
According to the law the commission
ers are out of office "ipso facto''-
without action)-and they have no
right to draw their salaries. But 3
long as no one complains it is doubtful
if the commissioners will give up their
endoWmentS from the city.

OF Her own BAKING.
Mrs. Kennedy's Birthday Cake Bears
102 Candles.

Heraldsburg, Calf, Jan. s0.-A
cake of her own baking with 1902
lighted candles, each candle sym boliz-
ing year of her eventful life, held the
place of honor on the table today
when Grandma Electra Kennedy
gave a birthday party in her home
here
Mrs. Kennedy was born at Derby,
Vermont, in 1910. The Mexican war
found her in that republic where her
husband had a cotton mill. In their
flight of 1,40O miles filled with ex-
citing escapes from Mexicans and
Americans, Mrs. Kennedy rode astride
a mule The gold rush of '49 brought
the couple to California. Mrs Ken
nedy was one of the first women to
register when the new suffrage law
carried in this state. She attributed
her long life to simple living.

BUYS COURT TICKET.
Violet Buehler to Know Her Fate
Today.

Chicago, Jan. 30.-Interest in the
hearing of Violet Buehler, the runaway
girl brought back from New York re-
Gently, so appealed to one man that he
purchased a ticket for 81 in order to
gain admission to municipal Judge
Walkers court where the case was
called late yesterday afternoon.
The man, an elderly German, had
been sold the ticket in saloon. He told
the bailif he wanted to take no
chances on being admitted. The bailiff
warned the man, whose name was not
learned, against buying tickets again
for court hearings.
Violet was the only witness at the
hearing, telling principally of her visits
to the room of Charles McLain, a guest
at her foster mothers hotel. A deci-
sion is expected today.

their combined strength to which ever
candidate stood the best chance Of win

a conference, denied these reports We
hemlently and issued a formal state
ment on behalf of their champion.
This was the result of a story printed
IN Chicago announcing that LaFOllette,
believing he had reached the limit of
his strength, was preparing to with
draw and would soon issue a statement
to that effect. The conference was at
tended by known LaFollette adherents.
Unless Clifford Pincnot may be counted
as a Roosevelt man, the former presi-

consider such a proposition.

NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
Hiking CAUCUS DETHRONED.
BY Frederic J. Haskha.
By Frederic J. Haskh1.

The congressional caucus assumed the
function of nominating the party candf-
date for President because that was the
most natural thing to do in initiating the
English example of the control of pollt-
ical parties by the members of that party
in parliament The caucus justified this
assumption, when it began to be chal-
lenged, on the theory. as it was composed
of members of Congress actually resident
In the capital. that it's members were of
necessity better judges of the qualifica-
tions of rival aspirants for the chief mag
istracy than persons not familiar with the
actual workings Of government in Wash
ington possibly could be.
The caucus held, and in so holding was
true to all the traditions of government
from the beginning of history. that ex-
perienced men were required to admins
ter government and that only statesmen
were possessed of statecraft. Thus.
Washington was succeeded by Adams,
who had been Vice President; Adams by
Jefferson. who had been Vice President;
Jefferson by Madison. who had been Sec
retary OF State: Madison by Monroe, who
had been Secretary of State; and In 1924.
when the question of Monroe's successor
came up. the candidates were the Secre-
tary of State, John Quincy Adams of
Treasury, William II. Crawford Of Geor-
gia; the Secretary of War, John c. Cal
houn of South Carolina. and the Speaker
of the House of Representatives, Henry
Clay Of Kentucky. Each of these men
was experienced in statecraft, each of
them had distinguished himself at Wash
ington either in administrative or legisla-
tive work. and each was entitled to con-
sideration by the then unopposed and
completely dominant democratic-repub-
lican party.
But the very reason advanced by the
caucus to justify its claims to select the
standard bear
Claim of Caucus er of the party

Gus did not value experience in statecraft
as much as they valued devotion to the
common people.
The government under the Constitution
had been in operation for forty years.
With the exception of the four years of
the disastrous administration of John
Adams, the President always had been
member of a small clique of Virginia aris-

how democratic some of them may have
been politically. Efforts to democratze
