opposed the erection of city building
at this time.
Mr.. Howard said the present board
was in better condition financially then
the board with which he was connected,
but he thought we were not yet able
to build city hall. He was in favor
of such building if We could spend
about $4,000 on it, but he neglected
to state why such expenditure was at
all necessary. Naturally Mr.. Howard
advocated spending lot Of city money
on the Leach building and fixing it up
for city habitation. Others We're called
upon to express themselves on the SUBJ
ject, but none availed themselves of the
mayor invitation. A vote being called
for the ordinance was adopted unani-

the board concerning the city trees and
the proper care Of the same. Mr.. All
red stated that the trees of the city
were badly infested by aphis and that
they should be treated just about the
time the leaves begin to appear.
He advised the use of either blacI,
leaf spray or a kerosene emulsion spray,
either of which should prove effective.
He also advised plan of planting to
take the place of the present trees
which will soon have reached the limit
of their usefulness. He thought some
other kind of trees should be planted,
either elm, ash or hard maple. Mr..
Alfred said the government experts on
the subject were ready to give free
advice or assistance to the city upon
request of the city authorities.
Mayor Thorson, on behalf of the city,
thanked Mr.. Alfred for his advice and
suggestions. go

NEW MILITARY
 SERVICE BILL
 IS INTRODUCED
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 23.- The army and general staff universal service bill was sent to the senate military committee today by Secre- tary of War Newton D. Baker with out any comment whatever on the part of the administration officials It is not expected that the bill will pass during the present session of congress, the purpose of introducing it at this time being to gain pub licity so that the members of the next congress can learn the general public opinion regarding the bill be- fore 1t actually comes up to them for passage.
 The bill provides for a force of four million men with a year of in tensive instruction. It states, in making it's estimates of prevailing conditions, that there will be 500,0O0 boys under nineteen years of age available every year, for one year of training. It provides that these boys, after receiving their years training, shall serve four years in the first reserve. After that they go into the second reserve and still later into the unorganiZed reserves. There they will stay, according to the provisions of the bill. until they are forty-five years of age, when they will be discharged from further compul ory military service
 The estimated annual cost for such provisions as the bill contains Is $492 000,000 This amount is con siderably in excess of the $339, ,500,- 900 which is spent annually for the maintenance of the army under the national guard plan.

FILIBUSTERING CAMPAIGN Is ON
 IN THE, SENATE
LAssOClated Preasl

WASHINGTON. D. C. Feb 23 The Republicans in the senate have started filibustering campaign against the administration emergen- cy revenue bill. which provides for the raising of funds to meet the threatened deficit at the end of the fiscal year ending June 30. 1918 They are attacking various provi- sions of the bill and are in the pro cess of introducing amendments to others
 It is generally believed. however that the attack on the revenue bill is not the real purpose of the fill bustering campaign, but that it has to do with opposing the granting of additional power to President Wilson which might result in aggressive aC ton on the part of the United States to protect American rights in the European war zone
 Senator Cummins declares that it is the intention of the senate Re publicans to seek the defeat of the important bills of the administra tion in order to force an extra ses sion of congress Congress would then be in session should emergen cies arise whereby it would be nee r5sary for the President to consult the legislators.
 Besides the revenue bill, which is under debate at present, the army and navy bills are still pending in the senate. If all of them are not passed by the time of adjournment on March an extra session of con- gress will become imperative. This, it is claimed, is what the senate Re publicans are striving for, and the Democrats. to combat them, are con sidering the forcing through of a provision for all night sessions in order to tire out the filibusterers.

FOOD PROBLEM DISCUSSED BY
 THE, CABINET
Associated PresS)

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. 23.-- President Wilson and his cabinet dis cussed at considerable length today the causes and the possible remedies for the prevailing high prices of foodstuffs and food products. Some of the cabinet members expressed the belief that the high prices are being caused by the car shortage on the railroads of the country due in directly to the German policy of con ducting an unrestricted submarine warfare. They said that the subma rine campaign had kept ships from clearing ports, which condition re suited in vast accumulations of freight at eastern seaports, as well as causing a congestion of loaded cars.
 Attorney General Gregory proposed several measures at the cabinet meet ing which may tend to relieve the situation. These measures will prob ably be announced shortly by the department of justice. which is now Investigating conditions in the cities of the east where the rioting has recently occurred. Whether there has been a real shortage of food or whether the high prices are being caused by the dealers is the matter under investigation.
 It is alleged that, owing to the fact that there is q shortage of freight cars, there is no way of transporting foodstuffs and food products from the west to the congested cities of the east. The resulting food shortage is the natural consequence, accord ing to the general contention.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 23,- Now that President Wilson has made official announcement to the effect that he has called a special session of the new senate for March 5, the details of the plan for the inaugura tion are being gradually cleared up. The session will include the usual ceremonies incidental to the inaugu rating of the vice-pTesident, which compose about half of the formalities.
 President Wilson himself will take his new oath of office privately at the White House on Sunday, March f. No announcement has been made as yet as to whether or not the President will participate in the tn- augural ceremonies or in regard to whether or not he will repeat the oath of office in public on the steps in front of the capitol, as is GUS tOmdrN, on MATCH D. NICe-I IeSIutul Marshall will. however, take the oath formally before the senate on Mon day, March 5.
 Despite the fact that Mrs. James Boggs, head of one of the committees of the National Federation of Wo mans Clubs, has issued a statement to the effect that women will not participate in the inaugural cere. monies on account of the antipathy shown the cause of woman suffrage by the administration. Chairman liar per of the inaugural committee, de- clares that representatives of many women's organizations will be in line.
