she has an electric blower designed

TO SEPARATE
FEDERALAND
STATE TAXES
Bill in Legislature Would Call National
Conference to Settle Question Of
Jurisdiction
BY United Press.

by united Press.
Oklahoma City, Feb. With the
object in view to divorce absolutely
the state and federal systems of taxa.
tion by adopting definite policy in
the segregation of state and federal
revenue, there has come up in the leg
islature joint resolution requesting
uniform action by every state in the
union and by the federal government
to work along similar lines to accom-
plish the purpose.
The resolution, introduced by Sena-
tor Tucker, relates to the establish
ment Of definite lines of division be.
tween the federal and state taxes. It
suggests the calling of a congress Of
states to consider conflicting iurisdic-
tion Of the two governments, and con
flicting jurisdiction among the states.
Establishment of definite line is
sought which would separate taxable
units that equitably and logically be-
long solely to state taxation, below
which sole taxing authority would be
with the state and above which the
federal government would have all tax
ing power.
Such definite line for separation
of taxation, according to the resolu-
tion, would cure much of the trouble
existing because Of conflict in jurisdic-
tion between states; would relieve ten
sion between federal and state govern
ments; would result in economy in |
levying end collecting taxes, and would
relieve growing dissatisfaction on the
part Of the taxpayers resulting from
irritating and expensive duplication of
accounts and reports and double taxa
tion,
The resolution requests the presi-
dent to call a congress, asks all states
in the Union to appoint delegates to
this congress, and asks the governor
to urge other state executives TO do
their best to promote the conference.

BLOOD AS A NERVE TONIC

eff people would only attend to their
blood, instead of worrying themselves
i'll, said an eminent nerve specialist,
I'VE doctors should not see our consult
ingrooms crowded with nervous wrecks.
More people suffer from worry than
from anything else"
The sort Of thing which the specialist
spoke OF is the nervous rundown con-
dition caused by overwork and the
many anxieties Of today. Sufferers
find themselves tired, morose, low
spirited, unable to keep their mind on
anything. Any sudden noise hurts
like blow. They are full of grounds
less fears and cannot sleep at night.
sDoctoring the nerves with poisonous
sedatives is terrible mistake. The
only real nerve tonic is a good supply
of rich blood. Therefore the treatment
for neurasthenia, nervousness, and run
down health is the new rich blood which
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are able to
make. The revived appetite, improved
spirits and new strength which come
after few days use OF the pills will
delight every sufferer.

ALL HOPE
is CUT OFF
Is the Feeling in Germany
Over Note of the
Entente
HOT COMMENT
OF THE PAPERS
Allies Peace Terms Make a
Further Discussion I'm
possible, They Say

Berlin, Jan. l5.--The statement by the
entente allies OF their peace terms in the
reply TO President Wilson's note has APP
parently aroused just wrath in Germany.
The proclamation of Emperor William
to his people and the comment of various
German newspapers indicate belief that
the entente demands cut off hope both of
peace and OF further discussion of terms.
The Berlin Lokalanzeiger commenting
on the entente's reply to President Will
son, says; I'm every German in whose
heart there is a trace of the sense of
honor and dignity a glance at this docu-
ment will destroy the last fragment of a
desire for peace. The entente powers
have now established that this is war
of conquest" The Deutsche Tagezeitung
says that nov, as heretofore, our en-.
emies strive for the realization of de-
mands which would result in the de-
struction of Germany as a great power"
The other Berlin papers generally take
the view that the allies reply means an
end to peace hope. The Taegliehe Runds-
chau says that war by notes is thus
exhausted for the present" The Kruez
Zeitung declares that the entire program
must suffice to convince the keenest pa
cifist that the war will continue "The
German government" asserts the Kruez
Zeitung, will be backed by the entire
German people, the more heartily and
resolutely it wages war"

MASK DROPPED, SAYS KAISER.
"God Will Give Us Full Victory" EN-
peror William SAYS in Proclamation.

Berlin, Jan. l5.--The following proc
lamation by Emperor William to the
German people is officially published in
| Berlin.
"0ur enemies have dropped the mask.
After refusing with scorn and hypocriti-
cal words of love for peace and humanity
our honest peace offer they have now, in
their reply to the United States, gone be-
yond that and admitted their lust for
conquest, the baseness of which is fur
Their enhanced by their calumnious asser.
tions. Their aim is the crushing of Ger
many, the Acknowledgement of the powers
allied with us and the enslavement of the
freedom of Europe and the seas under
the same yoke that Greece, with gnash-
ing of teeth, is now enduring.
But what they could not achieve in 80
months of the bloodiest fighting and I'M
scrupulous economic war they will also
fail to accomplish in the future. Our
glorious victories and our iron strength
of will, with which our fighting people at
the front and at home have borne all
hardships and distress, guarantee that
also in the future our beloved fatherland
has nothing to fear. Burning indigna-
tlon ana holy WRATH Will fedouDie the
strength of every German man and wom-
an, whether it is devoted to fighting, to
work or to suffering. We are ready for
all sacrifices
"The God who planted his glorious
spirit of freedom in the hearts of our
brave peoples will also give us and our
loyal allies success in battle, the full
victory over all the enemy lust for power
and rage for destruction"

BELGIANS ARE PROUD

termination to prevent any advance by
the Germans and the will to push back

Out in the front lines, after a long
tramp over board walks across sodden

respondent saw the Belgian soldiers
keeping their constant vigil clothed in
heavy wooden coverings and oilcloth rain

1t is impossible at any point of the

Plan to Keep Thaw in Penn

petent
MOTHER TO VISIT
SON IN HOSPITAL
Gov. Brumbaugh of Penn
sylvania Is Appealed
to on Extradition

Philadelphia, Jan. l5.--What is looked
upon as the forerunncr of u legal battle
TO prevent the removal of Harry X
Thaw from the jurisdiction of the courts
of Pennsylvania was begun at PhiladeI.
lhia Saturday with letter from Henry
J. Scott OF this city, one of Thaw's at
torneys, to Gov Brumbaugh OF Pennsyl-
wanna, requesting II hearing before requi-
sition papers which have already been
signed by Gov. Whitman at Albany are
finally acted upon.
Mr.. SCOTS communication will not
reach the governor until to-day. Mean
while Barney Flood, a New York detec-
tive, who returned to Albany late Sat
urday after formally identifying Thaw
at st. Mary's hospital, is preparing to
hasten back to Harrisburg with the pa
pers for the extradition of Oliver A.
Bower, indicted with Thaw and now i'm
prisoned in Philadelphia pending his re-
nloyal to New York. 1t is expected that
he will also bring the Thaw papers if
they have been prepared.
Thaw, who attempted suicide Thurs
day by slashing his throat and wrist
with razor while the police were
searching for him on a bench warrant
issued in New York following his indiet-
ment by a New York grand jury, is rap!
idly mending, DR.. Kirby said last night.
He slept most of the day, but when he
awakened he still seemed to be in
daze. DIR. Kirby attributed his condi-
ton to loss of blood Other physicians
at the hospital described him as mot

No members of the Thaw family have
visited Thaw since his confinement at
the hospital, but private detectives Sat

would come to Philadelphia this week
and occupy room at st. Mary's hos
pital, where her son is. Friends of Thaw
said it was probable nothing really will
be done until Thaw sufficiently RECEIVERS

MINIMUM SCHOOL TERMS.
Forty-Four States Have Established
Them BY Law.

Forty.four states have established by
law minimum term of from 60 to lSC
DAYS term of school for each organized
district, according to a bulletin just is
sued by the department of the interior
through its bureau of educa tion. j. G.
Muerman, who compiled the bulletin
points out that four states, Louisiana,
Alabama, Rhode Island and Georgia have
no minimum requirement laws, but that
one of these, Rhode Island, has for over
10 years maintained the longest average
term in the United States. While the
minimum number of days required is al
most invariably much less than the ae-
tual number of days required in the
school term for the state, a majority of
the states still report many schools I'M
able to meet even the low minimum re-
quirements. Within the past three years,
II states-Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Kan
sas, Maine, Nebraska, Nevada, New York
North Carolina, North Dakota, Vermont
and Wyoming have added from 10 to so
days to the legal requirement of a mini
mum school term.
Some of the factors that have operated
in favor of longer school term, aside
from the general awakening of public
sentiment, are the phenomenal growth of
the public high schools, the development
of state financial aid for weak districts,
equalization funds and penalties for not
maintaining minimum term required
by law.
The growth of the public high schools
has tended to lengthen the term in the
elementary schools by setting up stand
ards of admission by certificate or exam
ination which can ordinarily be met by
grade schools with term of at least
eight months.
Lack of provision for adequate funds
is perhaps the greatest hindrance to
longer school term" declares Mr.. Muer-
man. "A majority of the states have
fully realized the necessity for more
state financial assistance and have en-
acted laws giving state aid to weak dis
tricts to enable them to maintain mini
mum school term. wise provision in
most OF these laws makes the levy of a
specified minimum rate of local taxation
necessary and provides for a certain |
specified standard of school before aid be- |
comes available. These laws are, as |
rule, intended to help only those who |
first help themselves. The necessity of |
greater local cooperation and aid is
urged in the 1912 report of the state SUI
perintendent of public instruction for
Georgia. This report calls attention to a
tendency to lean too heavily upon state
aid, aud cites the laws of another state
which require a county levy of not less
than three and not more than seven mills
before state aid can be secured"
In answer to an inquiry from the com
missioner of education, over one-half of
all the state superintendent have ex-
pressed a willingness to cooperate In Sc
curing a uniform 100 days term for all
schools. including rural schools. This
would represent considerable improve
ment over the present average of 1871
lays.
