Is to be made to have the troubles Of

The demand is to be made on the
Thirty sixth general assembly for a
return to the old triple board system
of handling the institutions and ADAM
donment OF the plan to have co-opera-
ton between them. The claim will be
made that a great mistake was made
when the old system was supplanted
by the new, that there is no need of a
central board to handle the business,
that the old way of each department
running itself in it's own way is the only
proper one for maintaining the proper

1t. will be recalled that during all OF
the last session of the legislature there
was present a persistent lobby hard at
work to secure passage of laws going
into the detail of management OF the
colleges. It was asked that the legis-
lature decide a whole lot Of questions
concerning which the legislature could
know very little. One only of these
bills was put thru, bill requiring that
five full fedged professors be kept on
the payroll for the benefit of depart
ment having only FIVE or six students
to be graduated; and it has been done.
But the effect of the lobbying was to
interfere seriously with the needed
work Of legislation and to obscure otn-
er and more important subjects.

the next legislature it will stand in the
way of much work that should be done

Taxes Too High and Amount Paid

Special to Times Republican
New Hampton. April Thru an
error Of the school officers in district
No. Of Dresden township, the taxes
are much too high in that township
this year. In place OF raising 5000 for
school purposes. they have levied a tax
that will yield $1,000.
This has caused great deal of COM
plant on the part Of the taxpayers. but
the county auditor and county treas
urer are powerless to correct the mis-
take. 1t is doubtful If the board of
supervisors can do anything about the
matter. About the only solution Of the
problem seems to be for the taxpayers
to pay the tax levied, and then the
school officers viii, not ask for any tax
for three or four years to come. In
this way. no one will suffer. and only
will be paying their taxes a little
ahead Of time.

MEDICAL JUDGES
FOR EACH COUNTY

Buffalo, n. Y, March 20.
Judicial and medical circles are
greatly excited over the proposed
appointment of medical judge for
each county in the State and three
judges for each department of the
supreme court and for the court of
appeals. At all trials where medi-
cal evidence is to be given, the med.
ical Judge would be in attendance
and advise the court and instruct
the Jury as to the sanity of the de-
fendant and the correctness of state
ments made by medical witnesses
and the weight to be given such tes-
timony. These medical judges
would be appointed by the appellate
divisions of the supreme court and
would serve for five years Should
the bill pass a new draft amounting
to about 81 100000 year would be
made on the State treasury; but
the promoters of the measure say 1t
will save the State large sums OF
money now spent annually because

The local congregation of the Sew

church buildings to. the Chamber of
Commerce and will rebuild on a
smaller scale, because they expect
the end of the world at any time,
and are making no plans for future

that the millennium was close at
hand, and the sale of the church
property is looked upon locally as a
