Income-Tax Amendment Will Add 86 Collectors to the Service, at sn Estimated Cost of
 $1,2oO,000 Annually.

Washington, June 30.-Wielding the ax again on the tariff revision bill for the benefit of the household, the sen- ate Democratic caucus determined to put cotton sewing thread on the free list.
 This action followed a spirited de- bate and was carried by one vote over committee, who defended the 15 per cent duty, which was carried in the bill as it passed the house, and which the senate majority on the finance committee did not allow.
 Those who championed this favor to the housewife argued that the reve- nue to be derived from sewing thread was inconsequential and that to be consistent in attempting to lower the cost of living the senate should not quibble.
 Looking up the estimates they found that the estimated revenue to be derived was about s225, ,000 year.
 This, they figured, was small amount to worry about, and on the free list cotton thread went, while committee members objected strenu- ously.
 May Reopen Debate.
 Following the action there were re- ports current that members of the committee would insist upon reopen ing the matter later, when a larger number of senators will be present.
 All the amendments to the cotton schedule suggested by the committee except one were adopted, including the increases on yarns. and the oppo- sition was less than had been antici- pated, since the committee on sched-

ROAD FUNDS ARE WASTED
Cost 10 Increased by Failure to Keep
Improved Highways In
Good Repair.

Washington, Aug. 23.-The office Of
public roads of the Department OF
Agriculture is making strong effort
to focus the mind of the country on
the fact that maintenance and effec.
tive repair are of equal Importance
with the actual improvement of bad
roads.
Investment of money in new roads
does not become real economy until
provision is made for keeping these
new roads in condition after they are
built. If sew road was built and
then allowed to fall into disrepair
much Of the original investment is
simply wasted.

TO ESTABLISH
 GAME PRESERVES.

Little Rock, April 19.-That the Government is soon to become active in the protection of wild life in Arkansas is demonstrated by the withholding of a large area of land in Mississippi coun- ty, in what is known as the Sunk Land district. The plats for a considerable portion of this area have been filed with the Con- missioner of Lands, but on the plate it is shown that the Govern ment is to reserve a considerable portion for the protection of heron. Heron preserves are now established in several States, through the activity of wealthy patron. and if the Government maintains the one in Mississippi county, it will be the first fos- tured by Uncle Sam in the Unit ed States.

About $13O,OOO has been paid in so far, and only S10,000 today re- mains in the General Revenue fund. The most of the money has been drawn out by persons who have been holding for many months warrants drawn for the erection of buildings at the agri- cultural schools. About S75, GOO went in this manner, and consid- erable more went to settle def ciences at other state institutions. Most of the outstanding war rants are in the hands of banks and they were the first to get in on the cash.

CAMP ASA MORGAN
 DEMANDS l.CENT RATE

At a meeting of Camp Asa Morgan, No. 1895 held today at the Court House in Prescott, the following resolution was offered and unanimously adopted, viz
 Whereas all railroads east of the Mississippi River have grant. ed a one cent rate to the Confed. crate Veterans Reunion to be held at Chattanooga Tenn. on May P, 28 and 29, 1913, and the railroads west of the Mississippi River have not,
 Therefore be it resolved by Camp Asa Morgan that we re- fuse to attend said Reunion and urge all visitors to do likewise. unless the roads west grant the same rate.
 Q. 5. Jones, Commander
 J. A. Bailey, Adj.
 Not only this camp, but a great many in Texas are protesting against the rate on the railroads west of the Mississippi. If the one cent rate is not granted by all railroads leading to Chatta- nooga there will be thousands who will not attend the reunion.
 This is the first time in a num- Der of years that the railroads have not granted the one cent rate for the round trip to the re- union and every effort is being made by Chattanooga to secure this reduction for the gathering there in May.
