Commercial Clubs.
Good Roads Committee of Bates
County Federation of Commercial
Clubs met at the court house, August
7, 1914, at 400 p. m.
Meeting called to order by Frank
Mabbott, secretary. J. A. Flammang
appointed secretary.
Members present were: Frank
Mabbott, Rich Hill; DR.. H. M. Cannon,
Butler; w. A. McBurney, Amsterdam;
Fred Barton, Amoret; q. l.. Brayton,
Worland; j. A. Flammang, Butler.
Each member related plans his
club was using for betterment of
roads in the vicinity, of his town.
Plans for Good Roads Days dis
cussed and the following resolutions
were adopted:
Whereas, The Governor of this
State by proclamation has set apart
two days, viz: 18th and 10Th of Aug
ust, as Missouri Good Roads Days,
and has asked that every able-bodied
citizen refrain in SO far as possible
from following his usual occupation
and labor on the public highways of
the State.
Resolved, That this committee
heartily endorse the action of the
Governor in this action and urge
every citizen of Bates County to fol-
low his request, and further,
Resolved, That it is the opinion of
this committee that it is the intention
of the Governor to have particular
attention paidto the through thorough
fares and State highways, in ever
county, therefore, the committee es-
pecially ask that those living on or
near the county seat or to county
seat highways in their county do all
in their power to the benefit of these
highways, ana further.
Resolved. That if the dry weather
continues, grading of dirt roads will
be impractical, therefore, we ask that
the labor on the highways be expend-
ed in cutting weeds and brush, put
ting in or repairing bridges and cul-
vert, fixing the earth approaches to
bridges, blasting rock in the road,
making bitches at rocky places, ETC.,
etc. There are great number of
places where each of the above good
road works can be done in each towns
ship, and nothing would be of more
help to the convenience of the travel
ing public, and the appearance of the /.
road, and further
Resolved, That the Commercial
Clubs act with the Township Boards
and Road Overseers of the several
townships and each help the other in
this work and pull together for better
roads in Bates County.

New York.-The National For
eign Trades council held a special
meeting here to take measures to re-
heve congestion of foreign commerce
due to the European war James A.

ly all elements interested in foreign

with commercial and Industrial organi-
cations. Its object is to cooperate
with every effective agency for the

READY TO TRANSFER POWER
PRESIDENT car6ajai to Turn Over Mex
lean Government Affairs to
General Oregon.

Mexico City, Aug. 1.-THE transfer
OF the federal power in Mexico from
provisional President Carbajal to the
Const1tutiona1fsts will be made peace
Iully within the next sixty hours, it is
believed here. Provisional President
CarbaJal, it is said, will issue a procla-
nation to the inha bitants of the fed
eral capital giving details of the gov
ernment's plan, for the transfer
The plan includes the transfer of
power from Francisco CarbajaI to
Eduardo Iturbide, governor of the fed
eral district Carbajal will go to Vera
Cruz and Governor Iturbide will turn
over the government to General Obre-
son, now in lula with $4,000 men.
A two hours cabinet council was
held, and, while nothing regarding the
discussion was made public, it is be-
heVed details of the transfer of gov
eminent was the chief theme
Both houses of congress met in the
afternoon. In the lower house the
speaker addressed the members. He
said it had come to his notice unof-
nc1alfy that President Carbajal had de-
c1ded to abandon his post and trans
fer power temporarily to the governor
OF the federal district, who would hold
the post of executive until the Consti-
tutlonal1st army was able to enter the
capital. The speaker said in his opin-
ion congress should dissolve, and he
called for motion to that effect.
Several deputies objected to this pro-
cedure, maintaining that the President
should appear personally before con-
gress, declare his intention and resign.
The ensuing debate brought about a
compromise in which it was decided
to appoint committee to call on the
President and learn his intentions.

leaders have concluded that additional
revenue legislation eventually will be
needed to fill the gap in the govern

on imports cut off by the European
WET Representatives Underwood of

with Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo when the latter returns to Wash

The ways and means committee,
which has charge of all revenue legis-
latfon, already has called upon the

statement of the condition of the treas

1t was estimated that legislation
would be framed which would con-
template war tax of approximate
~ $100,0O0.0 0e. While no definite
plans have been determined, it is ex-

shape of a stamp impost on malt and
