COMMISSION TO
GOVERN STATE
PURPOSE OF BILL

Minneapolis, March 20.-Backed by
Speaker Henry Rines, a bill proposing
a modified commission form of govern
ment for the state of Minnesota was
introduced today in the Minnesota
house. The bill provides for submits
sion to the people of the state of a
constitutional amendment creating a
state executive department to consist
OF a governor, lieutenant governor, au-
oitor and four commissioners, and pro-
v1ding that the governor and the -four
commissioners shall make up the state
commission and have general super
vision of the executive departments Of
the state.
The bill introduced is the joint work
of Speaker Rines, Representative w. !.
Nolan, the Rines door leader, and
Henry Pless. 1t Is said to be the only
bill of it's kind ever submitted to the
legislature, and the authors of the
measure said today they would make a
vigorous fight for its passage,
FoUr-Year Terms.
Under the proposed amendment, the
terms of the governor and lieutenant
governor would be two years, while
those of the four commissioners and
n author would be four years. The
state auditor is made the accounting
and auditing officer ofthe state.
The bill provides that the commits
sion, consisting of the governor and
four commissioners, shall have power
to appoint all officers provided by the
law or constitution and to fill all va
cancies. The executive department
would be divided into four divisions
and a commissioner would head each
division. The naming Of the divisions
is left to the legislature, but it Is pro-
vided in the bill that one of the di-
visions shall have custody of the state
schools and the other lands. The COM
mission would constitute the state in
vestment board.

Details of the commission plan are
left to the Legislature, the proposed
amendment carrying a provision that

ate laws to carry out the general
plan,

Women Spies Still Used

London Chronicle: II believe Won
were entrapped by a woman who is an
agent of some foreign country, and
that o were i~ngeniously entrapped
and fooled" remarked Justice Darling
recently when sentencing Charles Par
rott, the eX-naval man, for four years
penal servitude for selling naval Sc
crets.
To those who are acquainted with
the history of espionage, this state
ment came as no surprise, for nearly
all the most sensational spying cases
of recent years have been engineered
by INSCRIPTIONS women. For when
it comes to triCkery there is no match
for a clever woman, especially if, as Is
often the case, she has natural beau
~ allied to her powers of stealing
condolences.
Only a few years back an important
German fortress had to be entirely re-
built owing to France obtaining ex-
tensive n valuable information re-
gardtng its ornaments and the ge-
ography of the important portion of
German frontier that it guarded. And
this act was rendered necessary ow-

woman whose attractive personality
enabled her to worm these secrets
from important Berlin officials,
whose homes she was implicitly trust4

Recently a charming lady who posed
as a g~overness was sentenced to four
years penal servitude for spying. She
was employed by two European pow
ers, and, by acting asa g~oVerness to
the children of naval officers in Paris
and Berlin, she paved the way to ac-
qualntance with those holding re-

In the right quarters. This she found
an easy task, having in her position of
goVerness, ample means of learning in
what part of the house such docu-
ments We're stored, and it was not n
til a bunch of duplicate keys Of a.
number of admiralty safes were found
in her possession that suspicion fell
upon her.
Everyone remembers the sensation
some years ago when most complete
plans of the interior of the first Brit.
ish Dreadnought were published in a.
German newspaper. About this time
an attractive American lady of Ger
man descent suddenly disappeared
from Londons society circles. where.
by reason of her charming personality
and apparent wealth, she had been
given a hearty welcome.
An inquiry was held on the affair,
and it was suggested that this lady
probably knew a good deal about the
leakage of these important plans, and
probably further proceedings would
have been taken had not the honor
of several officers Of high standing in
naval and society circles been in
yolved.

Seattle for city purposes are now far
less h a ours of Vancouver. To
illustrate: Here We pay % mills on
100 per cent valuation, and in many
cases the assessed valuation is more
than the property itself. I under
stand in Seattle the city levy is Is
mills on As per cent valuation. That
is about one-third of what we are now
paying in Vancouver. If the state of
Washington did not collect taxes from
city realty and had means of sup
porting the state that British Column
ola has. the single tax would then
not be so bad. The Province of
British Columbia made $4,000, 900 on
the sale of city property last year.
You see one-fourth of ali land plated
for tow sites and additions thereto
belongs to the province. Besides this
they have great mineral wealth and
timber, none of which the state of
Washington as a state has. 1t would
be disastrous, in my opinion, for
Seattle to adopt the single tax. The
burden would be too great upon the
land"

probably several hundred rooms, has
but 100 rooms listed on the directory

There are a number of other large

ever, this is at the expense of the
owners of the older buildings.

men in Vancouver and not in n case
did they deny hat the building boom
was at an end and that it had been
overdone.
Mr.. wells of Brown & McCauley,
real estate firm, when told OF the
World building, the Duncan building
and the Vancouver block being but
partially tenanted replied:
Eyes, that is true, we admit we have
somewhat overbuilt and that we have
gone a little too far in u improve
ments; hat we are several years In
advance of the general development Of
the province. We think, however, with
the opening of the Panama canal and
the coming of the Canadian Northern,
the Grand Trunk Pacific and other
railroad extensions, hat our Office
buildings will be fully occupied within
a few years and that Vancouver will
be all right"
When told that the single takers of
Seattle claim Vancouver's building
boom is due to the partial application
of single a in this city, Mr.. Wells
grew somewhat indignant, stating that
single tax had nothing to do with
Vancouver's growth; hat it had moth
ing to do with its collapse, but that
it might work a hardship o. vacant

The First Locomotive Driver.

London Tit-Bits: Strictly speaking.
of course, Stephenson was the first
driver Of a locomotive, but he only
drove the Rocket upon trial trips by
way of experiment. The first official
driver-that is the man who was
regularly employed to take the train
between Liverpool n Manchester on
the first track ever laid down-was a
young man named Edward Entwistle,
who was born at Tyldesley Banks,
near Wigan, in 1916. At the age of
IL Entwistle was made an apprentice
I'm the large machine shops belonging
to the B~ridgewater Trust in Man
chester, his parents having decided
that he should be an engineer.
1t was in these works that the Rock
ct, the first passenger locomotive, was
built under the direction and accord
ing to the plans of its inventor, George
Stephenson, and young Entwistle took
the keenest interest in the progress of
the engine. When the Liverpool &
Manchester railway was finished and
the Rocket completed, Stephenson
looked about for a driver. The fore
man IF the shop was consulted. says
Frank Hird, in Lancashire Stories,
but, after a day or two, reported that.
he had no man he could suggest, bur
that, If he great inventor would take
the young apprentice, Entwistle, he
coIld recommend him highly.
Entwistle vas approached, and glad
ly agreed to assist Stephenson. The
opening of the new railway, which at
tracted the attention of the whole
country, was fixed for Monday, Sept.
is, 1880. On Sunday Stephenson and
young Entwist1e took the Rocket for
a trial trip, running over about one
half Of the track. The following day
both were on the engine which made
that historic Journey from Liverpool
TO Manchester drawing behind it some
of the most distinguished people in the
land, a journey whose triumph was
marred by the tragic accident to MI.
Huskisson. During the return journey
from Manchester the young appren-
tees hand was on the throttle.
When the line was opened for gen
eral trafico Entwistle was given the
sole charge OF the Rocket and for two
years made two round trips every day,
between Liverpool and Manchester,
one in the morning and the other i'm
the afternoon.
Ultimately. however, Entwistle found
the work was too much OF a strain,
and after completing his apprentice
ship emigrated to America, where he
ultimately acquired a farm, ON which
he died at the age OF 81

Charles II. Shields in Letter to Sc
attic Times: A few days ago there
appeared in The Seattle Times an ar
ticle by orion e. Goodwin, in which he
told of the much ,overbuilt condition
of the city Of Vancouver, B. c.. A day
or so later q Seattle party received a
letter from L. D. Taylor, former mayo
of Vancouver, B. c., better known as
Single Tax Taylor. This letter, which
was published in part in a local news
paper, complains Of Mr., Goodwin's
manner in describing conditions as he
saw them in Vancouver.
|. In order to get facts in the case, the
writer went to the city under contro-
versy and found that Mr.. Goodwin's
story Of Vancouver being overbuilt
was substantially correct. Some Of
the details in his story might be con-
Sidered from a conservative point of
view somewhat colored.
The Goodwin story intended to con-
vey to the reader that Vancouver was
much overbuilt. This I found to be
true-that the building boom, which
the single taxer for the last two
years nave claimed was due to the
peculiar method Of gathering taxes in
that city-single tax, reached its zen
it'll. My investigation shows that, in
the rush for gain, too many large Of
five buildings have been constructed;
that these Office buildings are but. par
italy tenanted, among them the
World building, owned by Single Tax
Taylor.
Like Mr.. Goodwin, I found the
World building an elegant structure "a
credit to any city and a credit to the
builder. Though, it is yoiceIess, it
speaks; it tells a tale that Mr.. Taylor
by letter or word cannot refute. 1t
stands as a monument marking the
crest of Vancouver's building boom.
1t is really sad to see those seventeen
stories, the windows blankly staring
out appealingly over the city for asSo-
citation with h busy world.
Mr.. Taylor may be able to explain
why his building is not occupied more
than it is. No doubt he can, but will
that explanation satisfy?
The Duncan building, q magnificent
office structure just across the street
from the World building, is not more
than SO per cent occupied. The Car
ERECTION building, once Vancouver's
pride, is now far from being satfsfac-
torily tenanted. The small building
owners, especially of those buildings
which have stood for several years,
complain of losing their tenants, who
are going to the new inc more mod
ern buildings. We would therefore X
pect these new modern buildings to be
