LEGISLATURES THIS YEAR.

The legislatures in only twelve
states are scheduled to meet during
the present year. which means that
only about one-fouth of the states
will see changes in their laws In 1912.
In nine of the states the sessions open
I'm January, that of Mississippi open
ing yesterday. that Of Kentucky open
ing on Monday, while on Tuesday the
sessions begin i'm New York Mary

states with January sessions are New
Jersey Oregon, South Carolina and
Virginia.
ony three states open their legis-
lation at other periods. Louisiana
starting its session in May. Georgia
in June and Vermont in October. Just
why Louisiana and Georgia select hot
weather for their lawmakers is harder
To understand than the reason why
Vermont chooses October, for the
Green Mountain state apparently be-
lieves that lawmaking should take
hack seat until harvesting time is past
In addition TO the twelve states

will meet after the admission of the

six of these states approve the income

GARAGE TAX Is
A POSSIBILITY
Road Commissioner Suggests
Ways to Raise Money.
(From the NEWS Correspondent

(From the NEWS Correspondent
Trenton. Oct. 14:-State Motor
Vehicle Commissioner L1pplncott
made public Saturday afternoon a
letter received by him from Colohel
Edwin A.. Stevens, state road COM
missioner, in which the latter MAKES
several radical suggestions as "
methods for increasing the reVenu
from automobiles in order TO nave
money to repair the stone roads
which under the wear OF the hlsn
power cars are being worn out raster
han the present revenue will per-
nit them to be kept in proper repair.
Colonel Stevens, among other tnlnes
suggests the possibility OF taAlns
garages and sellers OF gasoLne ioi
motor car purposes.
In his letter Colonel Stevens ap-
proves the proposed changes IN the
automobile laws as outlined 10 mn
by Commissioner Lippincott. lie
then says, in part:
"a revenue might be derived by
licensing public garages and other
parties selling gasoline. The danger
of the business makes regulation de-
sirable. The revenue incident is bad
lv needed. l would also suggest a
new schedule of fees. The worst
wear on the roads comes from high
speed cars and heavy trucks. They
should pay more.
81 think l am safe in estimating
the yearly cost of road repairs, out
side of city streets at about S2,0oo,-
900. This is a mere guess. The figures
have never been compiled, and pro
badly could not be on account OF the
methods Of accounting followed by
some communities. The amount
needed to do the work properly IL
probably not less than $2,5OO,0O0
OF this, motor vehicles net THIS year
in licenses about $4,000. l Zee
that, in view OF their destructlveless
they should net at least $1,000,ooo
available for road work. For the
year ending November l, receipts
will be about $470,0O0, and expenses
of your department $4,000. leaving
for roads a net sum of $412,0Oo.
"The receipts for the first SIX
months this year were roughly,
s247,0O0, to which the fifty per cent
increase did not apply. Allowing
s123.OO0 for this increase, we have
a net total Of $4,000, and a gross
total of $4,000. From the figures
of the first four months Of last year
the rate of increase was 14.8 pei
cent. II allowance is made for the
increase in rate during the last five
months, the average rate of increase
would seem to be about 6 per cent
I think it is safe to assume for mex
year an increase Of ten per cent.
which would yield gross, about $3.50,
600, and net, say, 100000. which
falls far short Of the amount need

DEATH
FOR SUBJECT
Interesting Discourse by
Averett Wakefield Yesterday.

~Averett G.. Wakefield, of Brooklyn,
N. Y. addressed an interested audi
ence yesterday afternoon in Odd Fell
lows hall, taking for his subject,
What Is Death? Why Is Death? VIII
Death Ever Cease?" The speaker
was a young man, who has been Il
deep Bible student for a number of
years and always relies on Scripture
testimony to clinch his arguments.
He said in part:
There can be no subject of more
vital interest than the one which we
have chosen for this afternoon. There
Is no n but desires to know of the
condition of his loved ones who have
! gone before, and the earnest desire
| of our hearts is, Shall we ever see
| them again We realize hat many
of them were not saints, and there
fore were not good enough for
heaven, but at the same time, they
were too good for torment. If we
would have our questions answered
with authority, we must so to Gods
Word, recognizing that The wisdom
from above is the noblest science and
the best instruction"
The speaker deplored the fact that
many have ONE to doubt various
portions of the Bible, and averred
that the cause of this is hat they
have supposed them to teach doc
trines which in reality they do not
contain. He then called attention to
the Scripture testimony on the emit
rance of sin into the world, and how
it brought death in Its wake, with
| all it's concomitants of suffering and
| distress.
What Is Death?
"In Psalms Israel's inspired poet
| shows us the nature of death. He
says His hearth goeth forth, he re-
turneth to his earth; in that very day
his thoughts perish Notice that he
| does not say hat he then enters into
either Joy or sorrow, but he ceases
to know anything; his thoughts per-
ish. Let us notice the contrast be-
tween this passage and the account
| of mans creation: The Lord God
| formed man of the dust Of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life. and man became a
living SOUL AS a result of the en-
livening sentiment being-a living
soul. 1t follows then, as the Psalm
list declares, that II these two prime
elements should be separated, hat
| which resulted from their being unit
ed would cease to exist-the being
would cease to have life-would
cease to be a living, sentient being or
soul.

the boy and set about finding him a
job. We had no answer to our tele-

him work. On the last day Tommy
said to me:

Miss Matthews, they don't believe
me, I know, but if they send me back
I'd rather die than face my mother
again. That afternoon I got an ex-
