STATE OFFICERS
WILL VISIT HERE
Highway Commission Coming
Sept. z to Meet With
Supervise

Arrangements have been made for
the state highway commission to visit
Rock Island on Monday, Sept. Z.
Though this happens to be Labor day
il was not possible to secure another
date. II is desired to have the mem
bers of the commission appear before
the supervisors. which meet for the
September session on that date, mas
much as the question of the manner OF
expending the funds available this
wear under the TiCe law will be up
for settlement and it will also be de
cided whether the question OF issuing
bonds for road improvement shall be
placed on the ballots for the November
election.
Arrangements are being made by
the Rock Island County Highway I'm
association to hold meet
ing in the evening at which officers
of the organization and members OF
the county board are to have a chance
10 meet with the state officers. II
is probable that there will be a dinner
either at the Moline Commercial club
or the Rock Island club for this pur
pose.

AUTO RACES TO
OPEN The FAIR
Two Days of Sport Will Attract
Many on September
Is and 10.

The curtain will be rung up on the
Illinois state fair on September IS and
10. the opening days, with a two-day
automobile race meet which has al
ready taken on the proportions OF a
worlds championship event.
The first man to sign up for the big
fair meet was Wild Bill Burman, the
worlds speed king, who will bring to
Springfield with him the fast foreig q
Peugeot racing creation, which Goux
drove in the Indianapolis sweepstakes
race on Memorial day.
Burman has not been seen at the
Illinois state fair for the past three
years, but in that time he has lost
none of his daring which made him the
most talked of speed specialist in
America.
Another great driver who is being
negotiated with for his appearance at
the fair is Barney Oldfield.
Because of the two-day meet this
year the state fair races will attract
many more drivers than in former
years. And then the prizes which to-
tailed little over $1,000 last year will
be increased to close to $4,000 this
year.
Another driver that is being sought
for the Illinois fair races is Ralph Null
ford. Ralph has never been seen on
a dirt track in Illinois and his pres
ence will mean more interest in the
Illinois meet than ever before.

HELP TO PEOPLE.
Government Efforts to En-
courage Handling of Pro-
duce Success.

Practicability of the parcel post as
a medium of direct exchange between
city dwellers and producers of the
farms has been taDlished by a test
in ten cities, including Rock Island
the postoffice department announces
Postmasters reports including that of
the Rock Island postmaster, stated the
new system had been welcomed in
nearly all the communities. that it ap-
peared as a factor in reducing the cost
of living and that improvements under
parcels in shipment amounted to less
than One-tenth of one per cent, it was
said. and that was mainly due to in
efficiency in packing.
Tests We're made in Washington. St.
Louis, Boston, Baltimore, Atlanta,
Birmingham. San Francisco, Lynn,
Mass. and La Crosse, Wis, in addi-
ton TO those in Rock Island In the
majority of places postal shipments of
the more perishable articles such as
butter and dressed poultry declined
during the hot weather. Under best
conditions from eight to 20 hours
elapse between dispatch and delivery.
In some instances, it was stated, the
farmers impeded expansion of the
service to some extent by naming
prices which by comparison quotations
in the local markets were considered
too high by city purchasers. In nearly
all cases. however. the postmasters re
ported the plan provided city families
with better grade of farm products.

Difficulty Over Employment of

LETTER is WITHDRAWN
With Solution of Problem Near, Bridge
Works Refuses to Stand by
Propositions Submitted.

Threats to call a strike and declare
unfair the work of non-union men
which is being done on the elevated
tank being built for the city by the
Rock Island Bridge & Iron works were
made at the weekly meeting of the
city commission yesterday afternoon
by representative of the TEi-City Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor. appearing in behalf
of union boilermakers
The delegation. headed by c. w
Pring of Des Moines, vice president OF
the railroad department of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, who is in the
city attempting to assist in reaching
a satisfactory adjustment of the tank
labor difficulty. called on the commits
sion TO discuss the vexing situation.
II was stated that the men had just
come from a conference with the
Bridge & Iron company officials. and
that all efforts TO reach an agreement
had failed. 1t was urged that the COM
pany's statement that enough union
boilermakers to complete the tank
could not be secured in the city was
false and that union men. who were
both residents and taxpayers. could
be obtained.
p. J. Carlson from the Federation
declared: The company had a verbal
understanding with the city that I'M
ion men would be employed on the job,
and | do not think this concern can
afford TO violate even a verbal agrees
ment. The city ought TO order union
men on the work"
Company Ignores Order.
One of the delegation intimated that
the provisions of the resolution adopt
ed by the commission a week ago. or
dering work stopped on the tank, be
cause the spirit of the contract had
been broken by the company. had not
been carried out. on account of negli-

CLOTHES

This is a great age for clothes. Both
men and women still wear them. 1t
is coming now to where men worry
more and more about their clothes
land appearance generally. We learn
THAT the National Association of
Clothing Designers which recently
met at Baltimore set forth certain
|rules to govern mems clothing for the
year 1914, if the men will allow it.
lone of the rules is that there is to e
|no padding. All right so far, there
|are other suggestions however that
|are not SO convincing. For instance
it is suggested that there is to be just
|as little cloth as possible and there
|is to be a clinging effect. Would
that not stun you? Think of the
Fhnging effects ON some men peram-
|bulating along the street in day time.
There is to be quiet colors with a lean
Ping toward sober shades. A little
poetic. In spite of all this, there are

TUE BUGABOO OF GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP

One of the stand-pat Republican
oowspapers of st. Louis has material
ized the ghost of government owner
,b;n Of railroads, telephones and tele-
oranbs. and is greatly disturbed.
# is not improbable that, some time
tbo National Government will control
81 utilities having to do with inter
s+ate commerce. 1t may be in the
noxt generation, possibly this one.
For the present, the stand-patters
NAV dismiss their dread of govern
ment ownership, and the reason is
TAXES.
In 1912 the railroads, telegraph,
and telephone companies paid in taxes
something like $110,000,000-the fig
nres are taken from statistics gather
Cd bv the United States Government.
With the income tax law in effect,
these public service utilities should
nav not less than $125,000,000 a year
in taxes.
Uncle Sam pays no taxes, and so,
under government ownership the in
dyidual States would lose not less
than a million dollars income. 1t is
unlikely that the ghost will become
a reality until some means are devils
ed by which this huge loss to the
States can be offset.-St. Louis Star
