Lieutenant Governor Frame, Presid'
ing Officer of the Senate.

ING OIlCSr OF the SENATE
within the limit he will have done
what no other man has done, and
what the cynics say cannot be done.
Hanna's battle cry has been a "bust.
ness administration" If he ends up
with a credit on the right side Of the
ledger, with money saved in the ad.
ministration of the various offices both
within and without the state capitol
he will have some political ammuni-
tion that the McCumber trenches will
feel.
= X i.
Writing the Bond-John Steen of
Rugby, state treasurer elect, was one
of the first of the new officials to ar
rive at the capitol. Some think he has
opened his career inauspiciously by
getting at loggerheads with the state
auditing board owe the question OF
writing his bond for 100000 as treas
urer. The board has always managed
this matter and as the state pays out
$4,000 as the premium it contends
that it should have some say as to the
placing of it. Bids we're asked for it,
but owing to a gentleman's agreement
all bids were alike and the pie was
divided between fourteen companies.
Then came Mr.. Steen, who said he
had already awarded the whole pie to
! one agent and one company North
Dakota one, by the way-and he re-
fused to hear the state auditing board.
The board suggested that a company
having a capital Of $780, 900 was
hardly in good shape to write a bond
of 100000. However, MI. steen is
taking himself very seriously in the
matter and his stand is backed by
some, who rejoice in this early evil
dence of what they claim has not been
evident in the state capitol for some
time-backbone.
!. j. j.
Another Issue-There will be a ON.
certed movement to wipe out the tax
commission and replace it with a one
man tax commissioner. The expense
Of the commission, composed of three
members, is assigned as the reaso
and its passing is entirely in the in.
forests of economy. We believe this.
The tax commission has already un-
covered too much untaxed property in
the state and 1t would be economy for
the tax dodgers to have it removed.
OF late it has been making the rail-
roads uneasy by showing that the
rate Of taxation on farm lands and
personal property has grown steadily
for the past ten years and that rail-
road taxes have remained about sta
tionary. For this and other activities
It is doomed. It is the common talk
that Andrew Miller, whose term as at
torney general has just expired, will
be appointed to the commission and
should the one-man idea win, Packard,
insurgent, and Wallace, Democrat, will
be eliminated and Miller will reign
alone.
No New CapitoI-stories of a move.
ment for a new capitol are premature.
The present building is good enough
for its purposes for years yet. But
that is no reaso why the laws gov
erning fire prevention should be ig-
nored by the one building in the state
where the laws are made. In all the
building there it not q FIRE escape!
Many other things about the building
are contrary to law. The expenditure
Of Q few hundred dollars would 70.
move these dangerous conditions and
make the statehouss safe.

separate peace with the Teutons
 rie points cut. according to the dis.
 D@tcnes, that his forces are small in number and that they are no,
 we'll enough equipped to withstand the onslaught of the trained Aus
 ID Germans.
 Four divisions of Bulgarians are stated. iu Paris dispatches, to be gathering ill the vicinity of Doran -I extreme southern Serbia near the
 u g..rian border. It is believed
 that this force is being placed in position to act in conjunction with a force of Austro-Germans which
 for several days past has been
 forming In front of the allied lines.
 and an offensive movement on a
 large scale is therefore shortly ex pected
 It is understood that at a meet ng of the allied war council today, Field Marshal French advocated the withdrawal of allied troops from the Balkans and the abandonment of
 the Saloniki expedition. His sug- geStion, however was opposed by General Joffre, who stated that such action would constitute a desertion
 of the Serbs. In the meantime the allied troops now In Greece and
 southern Serbia are preparing to resist the threatened attack of the Austro-German and Bulgarian forces
 the Anglo-French forces are with, drawing to Greece. Their retreat
 was followed by the immediate oc-
 cupation of Rcsna by the Bulgarian forces. The Serbs have been pre-
 vented from effecting any kind of a juncture with the allies. Another offensive movement on the part of the allies has beet started in ;he Dardanelles, accord ing to Berlin reports. Berlin also asserts tha, the Germans have re captured 800 yards of trenches ta-
 ken from them durng the allied offensive in Septembe, in the Cham
 paign district.

Thursday

Herr von Bethmann-Hollweg. chan cellor of the German empire, made his opening speech before the reichstag today. Discussing the So- cialist interpolation in the matter of peace the chancellor took the stand that Germany will not be ready for peace until such time as the Allies are willing to make peace on Germany's terms. He said that the German arms have been victorious everywhere and that, while Germany is prepared to consider peace pro posals if they are such as will not endanger the dignity of the empire she is not anxious to advance peace terms. All Germany is greatly 10 Berlin dispatches.
 Dispatches from Bucharest state that large force of Russians is now concentrated in Bessarabia wait ing for the word to advance into the Balkan conflict However, ac, cod ling to dispatches, it is believed that the attitude of Russia in send ing the troops. which are massed along the Roumanian frontier, is to persuade Roumania to enter the war on the side of the allies, as King Ferdinand has plainly stipu- lated that Roumania will adhere to her policy of absolute neutrality unless she can be shown that the allies have big chance of success.
 Several battles of importance have been fought in Persia recently, ac- cording to London dispatches. The Russians are now advancing in the northern part of that country
 London dispatches also state that the Anglo-French forces in the Bal 'lans have all been withdrawn south of the Greek border The Bul garian force with which they were recently engaged is stated to be steadily pursuing them, being within a few miles of the boundary.
 A Rome dispatch states that the Italian war office has agreed upon the dispatch of 50,000 fresh troops to the Balkans and that their trans portation will commence at once.
