to hear the reports of Senators
Smith, Simmons, Stone and Kern, all
Of whom conferred with the presi-
dent last night.
The ways and means committee
also resumed its deliberations. Chair
man Underwood expected to have
much to guide his committee when
he received the report of the demo-
cratic senators and the revenue com
mittees of both houses and checked
up on just where they stood.
Senator Simmons and Chairman
Underwood both expressed the hope
that tariff bill might be introduced
by the ways and means committee
and be passed in both houses without
material changes. Such bill all
are agreed, must have the approval
Of the president and assurances OF
support from democratic senators
who oppose free sugar.
Though there still is opposition to
free wool, particularly among west
ern senators, it seemed practically as
sured that the ways and means com
mittee would leave wool on the free
list, as agreed to yesterday.
Colonel Sol Dexler, banker Of New
Orleans, told the president today that
the sugar planters Of Louisiana could
not adjust their business in three
years to compete with Cuba and the
rest Of the world in growing sugar,
and said the president must have been
misinformed if he believed it could
be done. Colonel Dexler went away
from the White House with the dis
tinet impression, be said, that unless
the Louisiana people accepted the
compromise the president would urge
nee sugar in any event.

KING DECLARES THAT TERRI
TORY IN QUESTION is NEG.

RATHER Die THAN GIVE UP
DEATH is PREFERABLE TO Ex-
isTENcE UNDER THE PRES
ENT CONDITIONS.

London, April 4.-King Nicholas of
Montenegro is determined to capture
and hold scutari, says dispatch
from Cettinje, which gives the fol
lowing statement from the king:
I assure you that l and my people
mean to keep the land we have re-
taken during lne war. We mean to
take scutari and mean to keep It.
This is the dominating impulse OF the
Montenegrins who know too well
that it is far better to die righting
than to go on living as we are now"
The king pointed out that the pos
session of the fertile land Of the Zeta
valley was a question of life and death
to his country and that mis- people
were prepared to defy the will of Eu-
rope and fight for victory or extermi-
nation.
"Scutari will be my capital in the
future" declared the king in conclu-
sion.

BETTER STAND TOGETHER.

Judge Lee, Of Ames, has in the Reg
lister and Leader an interesting article
in which as an alunlnus and friend
Of the Iowa State College ne takes
position against the proposal of the
state board of education 10 remove
domestic economics from the state col
lege to the state university but at the
same time favors the removal Of en-
cheering from the state university TO
the state college. The judges position
reminds one of the course of the New
England industrialists who fiattered
themselves that with the aid and CO.
operation of President Taft they could
have food and raw materials put on
the free list and at the same time
continue to enjoy the benefits of pro-
lection to manufactures. AS a direct
result Of such self-flattery these same
industrial;stS are just now facing with
much and increasing trepidation the
prospect of the carly enactment of n
tariff that will be destructive of their
industries. The judges article also
suggests that between the friends OF
the state college and those OF the state
university there may be developing
selfish differences such as VIII par
alyze the efforts Of both to save their
respective institutions from the follies
and incompetence of the board and SO
enable the board 20 achieve it's baneful
ends These ends are that whereas
the university already has predoni
nance of girls in its undergraduate de-
partments, they would take from the
university a considerable number OF
its boys and give to it in their place
Il very considerable number of girls
and that. whereas the state college
already has very large preponder-
ance of boys, they would take from the
college what girls it has and give in
their place q considerable accession OF
| boys. The ultimate effect is to de-
stroy coeducation IN both places and &c
make rough house boys school a.

A MANS NEIGHBORs.
shenandoah World.]

Somehow we always admire man
who thinks he has the best neighoors
on earth. Or woman, either. for thas
matter and it's a rather safe and sane
form of admiration. We know one man
in the south end in particular who is
always telling about how nice his
neighbors treat him and his family
and what good citizens they are. ABOUT
the surest thing We can deduct is that
this man is a mighty good fellow to
live around himself Also. we know
fellow in the opposite end OF town
who is always raising a yell about
what a poor class Of people live
around him. and how selfish and up
pish and disagreeable they are. Gen
orally speaking, people have about the
kind of neighbors they deserve. barring
the exceptions that are used to prove
the rule and as horrible examples y
considerable family is likely to be
treated with consideration. and not
have its flower beds scratched I'D by
the neighbnrs chickens. Bat neishbCrs
are human. and given TO divers ways
of getting back when there are pros
poets of revenge.

PAYING THE PIPER m TEXAS.

Whta people will spend for perrna-
nent roads when they once set started
when they once get started and see
with their own eyes what permanent
road is may be gained from the bona
issues in Texas voted by the people
this last summer.
Robertson county voted 100000, FL
Paso county sS9o.oo0, FIT. Bend county
$3.50 Wharton county. 100000, ana
Montgomery county s25o,ooo. In all
Afty bond elections were held and
thirty three were carried by the nee
essary two-thirds majority. In nearly
all Of them a majority was cast for the
bond issues but the Texas law requires
Q two-thirds affirmative vote. In spite
Of this rigid rule a total OF sS,496,2o9
In road bonds were authorized by local
ities in Texas during the past year
alone.
Texas, like many Of the southern
states, provides for the creation Of spe-
cIal assessment road Improvement DIS
tricts and the issue Of county road
bonds. The districts are laid out tu
include the land and the towns which
will be benefited by the roads I'M
proved. The county issues long time
bonds to pay for the work and levies
4 special assessment upon the town
property and farm lands within the
road Improvement district to pay of
the bonds. There is no aid from the
state whatever and yet by two-thirds
vote of the people who pay the taxes
Taxas is putting millions into perma-
ue1lt stone roads every year.

COMPENSATE THE WoRkMEN.

It is the hope of every thoughtful
employer in the state that the present
legislature may formulate reasona bic
workmen's compensation law whereby
the poor fellows who are injured IN
the ordinary hazards Of industry can
be COMPENSATED TO he fullest extent
possible. All European governments
are so far ahead Of us in this matter
that it has become crime against
humanity TO put off any longer the
enactment nj such statute IN Iowa.
However, such law will never work
satisfactorily until it is founded up' Il
the principle of state accident insur-
ance the benefits being guaranteed and
paid by the state and the premiums
collected from industry. If the Rene
fits are to become an obligation OF the
employer direct then the injured per-
son has to carry the new hazard OF
the employers liability to pay in future
years whereas whatever benefit is 10
be paid should be absolutely guaran-
teed to the victim by the state.
Under the present iniguitous system
the employer is compelled 20 insure
his hazard in a casualty company. Ex-
perience has shown that only half OF
the premiums paid by employers are
paid out in benefits. the other half be-
ing consumed in expenses OF operating
the casualty companies and dividends
To their stockholders. OF the half &C
tually paid in benefits ii is safe esu-
mate that the injured workman gets
very little of it if he has employed a
lawyer hence the employer is paying
his premium and the injured workman
n Retting very little benefit from it
Under good compensation law
whereby the state would manage the
insurance fund and guarantee the
benefits employers would gladly stand
even a heavier tax upon their industry
than now. but at no increased tax the
workman would obtain on an avera ge
three times as mitch as he gets wher
injured under the present system. Let
= careful compensation act be passed
by this legislature.
