A Legislative Budget system

budget system Of state appro-
prlatlons | deem it advisable to
call attention to the same and
explain some Of the reasons whv
It would seem advisable to adopt
such system, providing the
Legislature is backed up by pub
llc sentiment in favor of such 4
system.
10 those who are not familiar
with legislative procedure so
far as the appropriation of state
money for the maintenance of
state institutions | might say
that such appropriations are
known as general appropria-
tlons, but in fact are appropria-
tlons which by their application
are special and the funds created
thereby can only be used for the
specific institution for which
they are appropriated. For in
stance the appropriation made
tor the state college can in no
part be used for the state uni
versity and if the appropriation
Tor the state college was more
than was necessary for it's main-
talnance the balance would 90 in
to the general fund of the state
although there might be deficit
in the maintainance fund of the
state university, which WOULD
be carried over to the next legis-
lative session and made up by
that body, while if the amount
necessary for the maintenance
of all the institutions could be
embraced in one fund and war
rants drawn on such fund for the
care Of all institutions then there
could be but one deficiency or
one balance at the end of the
fiscal year.
The maintainance of these in
stitutions are all charges upon
the state and shoufM '"be main
tanned from a business point of
view and the amount Of the fund
for such maintainance should be
worked out by some one compe-
tent to work it out prior to open
ing of the session Of the legis-
iature. When | say business
point of view l ought to explain
by asking this question. Suppos-
ing young man took the pre-
caution of laying aside a fund for
his personal clothing during the
year would he set aside a certain.
amount for shoes, another for
shirts, another for hats and caps.
etc. and if his fund for shoes be-
came exhausted and his shoes
were worn out would he go bare
foot for the balance of the year
or get trusted for shoes while he
yet had money to his credit in
the entire fund? No, I think he
would make the fund applicable
to all of his needs and draw upon
the one fund instead of having
a dozen or more funds some Of.
which were exhausted before
the end of the year and others
having balance.
Again, the preparation Of
budget before the opening of the
session by some one in touch
with the needs of the several in
stitutions would eliminate the
presumed necessity of taking
few members Of the legislature
on a junketing expedition, ex-
penses paid, to show them a good
time and get them right on the
appropriation pending for such
institution. The budget having
been prepared in advance would
give the legislative body some
opportunity of studying its
amounts before having to vote
on same. Does the proposition
appeal to you from a business
legislative stand point?

Toxic Government Reported to Have
Dispatched Men to Protect Prop

Tokio.-(Correspondence of The AS
sociated Press. Owing to revolution
ary outbreaks at the city of Tsinau-fu,
China, and its envirOns, the Japanese
government ordered contingent of
railroad guards in Shangtung prov
ince to proceed to that city to restore
order 1t is explained here by officials
that the move does not constitute in
tervention on the part of Japan and
that no troops were sent from the Jap
anese garrison at Tsing-tau.
The japanese action of sending mil
itary railroad guards to Tsinan-fu is
compared by officials to the landing of
American marines at SWatow, China,
some time ago to protect foreign inter-
ests. The Tsinan-fu rioting threatened
to become very serious. MobS took
possession of the city and hurled
bombs at the shops, which were after

Washington, June 2-Business activ-

Mines and oilwells are exceedingly

the board; lumber and building show

AVIATION LION WITH
THE BARNES CIRCUS

Sampson" the aviation lion. is one
of the spectacular numbers presented
by the Al G. Barnes big four-ring
wild animal circus. Sampson is full
grown jungle-bred, man-eating Afri-
can lion. said to be the finest specimen
OF his race in captivity.
The lion and his trainer, Miss Mable
Stark, mount a balloon basket and are
taken to the top of the big tent. Ro-
man candles, sky rockets and colored
fire are placed all around the arena
and sputter and shoot almost under
the nose of the big beast, but so per-
fectly has he been trained to do his
act, he seems totally oblivious to the
close proximity of the fire.
Another wild animal act involving
plenty of action and excitement, is the
wrestling grizzly bear, Big Bill" His
trainer, George Strakosh, is veritable
giant in size, has never been able to
get a decision over Bill.
Due to the fact that the entire en-
tertainment is given by a troupe of
over 800 educated wild and domestic
animals the Barnes circus is widely
different from any other known. This
animal acting troupe consists of near
ly every known species, the whole ag-
gregation working as unit in the pre-
sentation of a thrilling, amazing, in
structive, amusing entertainment. The
Barnes circus is distinctiyely the
show that's different" and ranks as
the original and largest wild animal
show in the world.
The circus will show tomorrow in
Rock Island.

LUMBER MEN AFTER

Chicago June 2.-American lumber
manufacturers, seeking remedy for
stagnation in their industry, must
turn to foreign markets to escape the
results of years of over capltallza-
ton and wasteful methods, DR.. Ed
ward E. Pratt, chief Of the United
States bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce Yesterday told meeting OF
the National Lumber Manufacturers
association.
Many of the bardships which the
lumbermen of today suffer are not OF
their own making" said DF. Pratt.
There seems TO be, however. some
economic law that requires a future
compensation sometimes for an early
urodlgality and wastefulnesa."

BUTTONS WILL Be
SOLD ON STREETS.
Rock Island and Davenport Women's
Societies in Interesting Centen-
nial Competition.
TOMORROW Is THE DATE FIXED
Money Will Be Used in Erecting Court
of Honor Under Which Island
Scenes Are to Be Given.

Officers of the Fort Armstrong Cen
tennial association are very much in
terested in the Button Day" activities
in Davenport and Rock Island tomor-
row when the League of Honor" but
tons will be placed on sale in both
cities after the fashion of tag day"
sale by hordes of women and girls
who will station themselves on the
down town street corners The re-
ceipts will be used to erect the court
OF honor on Rock Island for use dur
ing the celebration to be staged June
1925.
The task of disposing of many thou
sands OF the buttons in this way has
Deen assumed by the Kings Daugh-
ters circles of Davenport and by the
Daughters of Veterans in Rock Island
and great deal of friendly rivalry
over the total sales to be made has
arisen between the two organizations.
VI course the societies will profit to
some extent in the sale of the buttons,
IN this way helping out both their own
hnances and those of the Fort Arm
strong Centennial association.
In explaining the idea yesterday
President l. c. Norwood of the associa
tlon stated that all the funds which
have been subscribed by the business
men and manufacturers of the tri-cities
nave been appropriated for expendi-
ture IN the regular channels, but that
the court of honor or bower under
which the spectacular and historical
scenes will be produced opposite the
grandStand is an added feature and
one that will attract a great deal Of
attention as we'll as add beauty and eff
fort to the various scenes. There are,
however, no funds available for its
construction and the association evolv-
ed the idea of the League of Honor"
buttons by means of which every per
son IN the tri-cities, young and old,
would be permitted to make a small
contribution toward the success of the
celebration.
Cooperation Is Asked.
The two societies which will have
charge of the sale in Davenport and
Rock Island have been greatly en-
Unused over the idea and it is expect
ed that many thousands of the small
buttons will be disposed of tomor-
row. The Rock Island chapter of the
Daughters of Veterans will have a
large percentage of its membership
on the down town streets engaged in
the sale, while the Kings Daughters
in Davenport have stated that there
will be at least so women and girls
at work. Both Mayors McCOnochie of
Rock Island and Berwald of Daven-
port have issued proclamations ask
ing the cooperation of the citizens and
indorsing the project.

Alfalfa. so far as is known. was the
first plant ever cultivated for forage.
1t probably originated in the valleys of
western Asia. From there it was grad
ually introduced into Italy. Spain. Ger
many and England. Alfalfa was first
introduced in the United States about
1920 when some was grown in New
York. Later Washington and jefferson
grew alfalfa on their farms and dur
ing the Spanish invasion it was intro
duced into Mexico, then to Texas and
California Under the care given it by
these farmers it gained foothold and
soon thousands of acres were in alfalfa
