Would Tax Unimproved Land.

New York, May I3.-The problem
of the high cost of living can be
solved by increasing the cultivation
of the tillable land of the country
through the taxation of unitnproved
land, and untaxing improvements and
other products of labor, according to
brief filed with the Federal Trade
Commission by the Committee on the
High Cost Of Living, and made public
here today.
The brief urges the commission to
recommend that some such action be
taken by the State legislatures.
The general committee of the Or
ganization includes Frederick G.
Howe, Commissioner of Immigration
of New York, and J. J. Pasporiza,
Mayor of Houston, Tex.

ROOSEVELT MAY GO
Lower House Reverses Former Ac-
ton and Now Wants Colonel to
Go to France.

Washington, May I2.-Coincident
with the signing this afternoon by
President Wilson of the army appro-
priation bill carrying 27o,ooo.ooo the
lower house of congress took action
which, it is confidently asserted, will
result in the immediate dispatch OF
Col. Theodore Roosevelt to Europe
at the head of division of approxi-
mately 100000 fighting men.
The house absolutely reversed its
stand announced yesterday, sending
the army draft bill dack to conference
with definite instructions to the house
conferees to restore the provisions
permitting the Roosevelt division to
be officially approved.
This action was taken, it was de-
clared, as result of heavy pressure
brought to bear on house leaders by
members of the senate. At the same
time, it was expected to cause fur.
ore in the ranks of the army general
staff, which is violently opposed to
giving Mr.. Roosevelt any army COM
mand at all.
Representative Gardner Of Massa-
chusetts and Representative Anthony
of Kansas were the champions of
Roosevelt on the floor of. the house.
The only thing remaining to lend
full official sanction to the former
presidents project is to put the ques-
ton tip to President Wilson and Sec
retaty Baker. What action they will
take is entirely debateable. inasmuch
as neither has made known his views
on the subject

Army Ration Costs s Cents More
Daily.

Washington, May I2.-The Army
is feeling the pinch of the high cost
of living. The Soldiers rations for a
day which few months ago cost
the government 26 cents, now cost
fraction under 81 cents, with further
advances in prospect.
The 26-cent figure prevailed last
fall, hence the increase for an army
of 100000 men now represents near
ly $II,ooo,ooo a year.

poses to maintain its usual food

Service Station Popular.

The Boy Scouts Service Station is
proving very popular thing to But
Her people. for any time they need

brings a Scout or two at, once to
stnilingly perform the service at a
reasonable charge. They now have
their own phoae in their headquarters
land can receive calls direct. Their
phone number is 3Is. This number IS
significant to the Scouts. The 3
stands for the three points in the
Scout oath; the I for one days ser
vice each week, and the S for the min
utcs elapsed from the time the call
is in till Scout is there. This Ser
vice Station has been in force two
Saturdays and the popularity of it
has gone beyond all expectations.
The first days receipts were $I.45.
and the second a little over $2.oo.
This money is placed in the Scout
treasury to pay for phone rent and
to supply the Troop with any needed
equipment. When they cleaned out
the vault adjoining the Ladies' Rest
Room to be used as headquarters,
about two tons of old papers and
books that were worthless for any
thing except junk were taken out.
Upon petition of the Scout Master,
and after careful consideration, the
County Court made an order author
izing the Scouts to sell this junk and
after paying for some repairs to the
shelving in the vault retain the bal
ance The net proceeds to go to the.
Scouts will be about $500, making
total in the treasury of about SIS.
$500 Of this amount will be sent in
to National Headquarters of Boy
Scouts of America for registration
fees. They will expend the balance
for camp equipment.
The boys have put business
standard on their service station by
using Boy Scout Efficiency Cards."
These cards show the date the call is
tdktH, tHC name Vi lHc OSOuts Va
Scouts, detailed on the service; the
nature of the service rendered; and
the employer fills in the time en-
ployed; the amount paid for the SER
vice; and whether. or not the service
was satisfactory. There is place
for remarks" on the bottom of these
cards. so that the employer can make
any suggestions or criticisms. This
system will keep record of the boys
that do the work, and also put them
in closer touch with the people in a
business way.
Plans for Boy Scout picture to be
shown at the Opera House in about
two weeks are being arranged. The
proceeds of this show will be given
the Scouts, and they will have full
charge, selling and taking tickets and
ushering This will be good eppor-
tunity for everyone to help them, and
as the organization is good move
ment for better boys, which means a
better town, you should boost them
all you can.
