The passing of Booker Taliaferro
Washington evoked more comment
than the death Of any man in America
In recent months. Almost every
paper in the country paid tribute to
his ability. his high character and the
worth Of his life work. In the South,
where this work was largely conferred
and where prejudice against the Negro

tributes were Of particularly i'm.
pressive and sympathetic nature.
Thus, the Atlanta Constitution, in a
leading editorial. pays him the fol-
lowing eloquent tribute: "ln his life

Chase Bills.

Des Moines, April I'D. c.
Chase has succeeded in getting the
senate to pass his bill placing the
burden of proof of contributory neg
ligence on the defendant. This
measure is one that Chase has cham
pioned every year he has been in the
legislature.
The senate sitting committee held
it's first meeting this morning and
out six bills.
The most important was the Chase
bill which provides for reduction in
the maximum tax levies in counties.
When the taxable values were in
creased two years ago, Senator Chase
declares that the officials in many
counties did not reduce the levies to
correspond. He has therefore intro
duced this bill to compel them te
drop the tax levies.
