OHIO LEADS

Minnesota is the latest state to re-
model its government after the pro-
gressive measures in the Ohio stat
utes The Buckeye state is in the lime
light. All of the states are watching
the progress being made here. Other
commonwealths in addition to Mime
sofa have sent experts here to study
our system of government, for the pur-
pose of adopting such measures as may
be applicable to the conditions in their
states. Charles p Craig of Duluth,
Mimi, chairman of the organization
committee of Minnesota, has come to
Ohio at the request of Governor .Eber-
hart of that state to Investigate our
laws,
After study of them he made the
statement that Ohio is In tho fore
front of progressive states. He is Civ
ing special attention TO the new nd
ministl atiye measures of Governor
Cox He says that the Ohio laws are
IN advance of those in Wisconsin aud
other states which have been looked
upon as leaders in modern government
al improvements. Craig is especially
pleased with the agricultural and in.
dustrial commissions and the public
abilities commission. The committee
of which he is chairman will report
Legislative recommendations TO Gov
Eberhart this winter. and the latter
will call upon the Minnesota legialat
ure for n complete reorganization oil

Representative Lewis has introduced
in the house n bill providing for the
taking over of the wires by Uncle Sam.
In Introducing the bill Mr.. Lewis said
In part:
Investigation discoses that our tele-
graphic rates are the highest among TWEEN
ty countries, running from % cents to 81,
while in other countries they average
about IL cents. or cent word. The re-
suit is that we rank ninth as telegraph
users. with one and one-tenth kilograms
person to our credit per annum, while
In New Zealand, with the twelve cent rate
and our price and wage levels, the use of
the telegraph reaches as high as eight
kilograms person.
The telegraph service is n relatively de-
clining institution and II would be un-
wise to postali2e II alone as n single serv-
ice. For ten years In England the num-
Der of kilograms has been actually sta
tionary.
Our toll and long distance telephone
rates compare with those of other coun-
tries even less favorably than do our tee-
graph rates. The average interurban re-
ceipt In Germany is but cents; here II
averages 20 cents. The long distance rates
here are made on a scale of mills a
mile for a three minute conversation as
| against an average charge of about mills
mile received by tho railways for trans
/ porting a ton of freight
We are one of three countries where the
charge of a local call exceeds the letter
postage rate.
The subscribers rates In American
cities, compared with continental cities,
are about three times as high; for ex-
ample, New York, where 5.4O0 calls, about
fifteen a day, under measured service
tariff cost more than the four unlimited
yearly rates OF London. Paris. Berlin and
Stockholm together.

The various branches Of the associ
alton will discuss such subjects as
astronomy, botany, entomology, philo
sophy, psychology and education at
daily joint meetings with the afIili
ated societies interested in those
branches of science.
Most of the subjects to be consider
ed by the Association for the Advance
ment of Science are technical. Some
of the addresses, however, will receive
general attention. In the latter class
will be addresses on Development OF
Our Foreign Trade" "The Health OF

Colonel ceorgas Likely to Become
Surgeon General of Army.
Washington, Dec. 29.-With the
death of Brigadier General George
II. Torney, the president is confront
ed with the necessity OF appointing a
new surgeon general of the army. 1t
is not now expected, however that
any selection will be made until after
the presidents return from Pass
Christian.
The outlook is that there will be
but two candidates in the field One
of these will probably be Colonel
William G. Georgas, senior colonel o.
the medical corps and the sanitary
officer of the Panama canal. The
other Is Lieutenant Colonel Jefferson
r. Kean, who until recently was sta.
toned at the war department, where
he does large part of the burden OF
executive work of the medical corps.
1t is thought likely that Colonel Geor.
gas will be given the place If he de-
sires II.

A GOOD PLAN

Tax assessors will probably adopt
the plan of calling township meetings
Of property owners to discuss the work
of making up the duplicate. This
plan has been suggested by the Cover
nor and has been approved by the
state commission. While the dis
trict tax assessors have final authority
in making assessments, the property
owners conferences will be merely ad-
visory to them. This plan will result
in taking property owners into the con.
fidence of tax officials and giving pub
iicity to value fixed.
The man whose property had been
placed on at its true value could be re-
lied upon to expose those who had
been favored with lower valuations.
In a few townships of the state
these meetings were held at the last
quadrennlal appraisement of real es-
tate and are said to have given much
valuable information to appraisers.

FAvORS FEDERAL
CONTROL OF WIRES
Representative Lewis Argues
For His New Bill
MANY SUPPORT THE PLAN.

Terms of Contracts With Government
Would Make Purchase Simple Mat
ter and Companies Could Easily Be
Forced to Sell-Success Of Parcel
Post Considered Factor.
Washington.-Advocacy of govern
ment ownership of all telegraph and
telephone lines; the introduction of a
bill providing for such purchases by
Uncle Sam; the action of the Bell Tel
ephone system and Western Union Tel
egraph companies In voluntarily dis
solving what the attorney general of
the United States termed trust, and
the tremendous success of the parcel
post system during the first year of
its history have directed more atten-
ton toward the purchase of the wires
than anything else in the history Of
the country.
The measure has both supporters and
opponents. President Wilson's decla-
ration that he has never said one way
bill or not was interesting. For years
the question has been agitated off and
on, here and there, but no concrete ac-
ton has ever before been taken.
The purchase of the wires by the
government would be simple matter,
provided, of course, the many millions
necessary to buy the stock could be
obtained. There is an old provision
in the original franchises granted by
the government that if the congress
wishes at any time to buy the compa-
MES the directors will be forced to sell.
These are the terms of the contracts
with the government under which the
| companies are now operating. The
price to be paid shall be determined
by board consisting of three men,

S0UTHERNERS ANNOYED Z
Declare They Have Not Tried to
Dominate Congressional Action.


Dominate Congressional Action.
Washington, Dec 20. Southern
members of congress expressed an
noyance when shown the interview
given out by Representative Metz of
New York, in which he said he was
tired OF being merely "a rubber
stamp" for southern congressman
and would resign at the end of his
present term. They denied that
southern members dominated the
house and its committees to a degree
greater than is the natural result Of
the long service of the southerners.
Representative Byrnes Of Tennes'
see, a member Of the appropriations
committee, pointed out that the chair
manship of this committee, which
ranks next to the ways and means
committee in Importance, is held by
New York member, Representative
Fitzgerald Of Brooklyn. He admitted
that list Of committee chairman
ships shows greater number OF
southern men than eastern or west
ern, but this fact, he said, was due
to the long service of the southerners
who now hold chairmanships.

Gulfport, Miss, Dec. 29.-President
Wilson surprised the congregation of
the First Presbyterian church Of
Gulfport by dropping in for the morn
ing service just moment before the
little melodeon struck up the volun-
tary. When the president and party,
which included only the president
and Mrs. Wilson and Dr. Cary T.
Grayson, arrived, there was scant
score and half of worshipers as
sembled in the tiny edifice. But
there ere many telephones in the i'm
mediate neighborhood, and before
the second psalm had been reached
every seat was filled and there were
more persons en- route.
There was. however, a tragedy in
the affair. Down in the little hamlet
of Pass Christian, nine miles away,
there was another place of worship

sermon to the regular members Of
his flock and to one pew In which
every seat was empty.
At the door was moving picture

that he would be able to get good

Mcdowell, the young minister who
was disappointed because the presi-
dent chose Gulfport instead of Pass
Christian, contented himself with
saying: "Thy will be done"
The moving picture man said "Oh,
hell, it's tough to make a man get
ready to take a film that would be q
