IS CALLED
OVER AMENDMENTS
The Object Is To Prepare
Arguments FaVOring Char
ter Amendments

Mayor Walter 4. Keyes has called a
meeting this evening at the Commercial
club Of a committee appointed 10 pre-
pare arguments to accompany the pro
posed charter amendments to be sub
mitted to the voters of the city at the
election to be held July 8.
The three proposed amendments are
to be submitted to voters by action OF
the council, and the general opinion Of
the leading citizens of the city is that
the election to be held July 9 is Of vi
tai importance to the general prosperi-
ty of the city.
The proposed amendments are being
submitted to the voters primarily be-
cause the city lost the two cases in the
supreme court wherein certain tax pay
ers on South Commercial and South
High street avoided their assessments
on account of technicality in the ad-
vertising.
To give the city authority to re-as-
sess and to correct the technical errors
made in the advertising, the common
council proposed three amendments to
the city charter, which are to be passed
on at the coming election.
The first amendment gives the city
the right TO re-assess, where property
owners are refusing to pay their street
assessments, through a technical error
in advertising. The second amendment
to the city charter to be passed ON by
the voters provides for more effective
system for collecting street improve
mcnt liens. The third measure proposed
gives the majority Of property owners
a right to decide as to whether there
shall be street improvement, instead
OF the present law wherein a two thirds
majority is necessary.
committee of about 30 to prepare
will be appointed by Mayor

FIELD FOR AMERICAN LUMBER
United States Supplied Little of I'M
ports into Mediterranean Dis
trict Before War.

ROumnnia and Austria Hungary are
the principal competitors American
lumbermen will find in the lumber
markets of the Mediterranean district
and the near East when the war is
over, according to a report on the sub
ject Just published by Uncle Sans
bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce. 1t is business that the Rou-
manians and Austrians have handled
successfully and almost exclusively
for many years.
The annual value of the lumber i'm
ports into these regions before the war
is placed at $132, ,292, 900, of which the
United States supplied $12,652, 900
worth, most of which, however, went
to comparatively well-known markets
in Spain, France and Italy. American
lumber is seldom met with in Turkey,
Tunis, Serbia, Persia, Greece, Egypt,
Bulgaria and Algeria.
The bureaus report Is devoted prin-
cipally to descriptions of each of these
markets, giving the source of lumber
supplies, the demand and the charac-
ter Of lumber desired and, where DOS
sible, the prices obtained before the
war.

Our Thriftless Nation.

Self-denial Is Il fundamental virtue,
especially for all who have their own
way to make in the world; happiness
for the great majority Of people de-
pends on the wholesome restraint Of
desires rather thar on their gratifica-
ton, because, when unchecked, those
desires are forever stretching out be-
yOnd present reach. 1t seems strange
that, especially in our country, people
shrink from saying, II can't afford It,"
when economy means safety and con-
tentment, whereas false pride brings
dagger and unhappiness. Fear of be
ing thought poor or Stingy has brought
misery, and often crime, into many
household. The average wages, sal
aries and incomes are higher in this
country than in any other, yet our
savings banks do not make credit
able showing Fourteen countries
greatly outrank ours in the proportion
of savings accounts to population. In
thrift, as indicated by the savings
banks, we stand at the bottom of the
list of the principal nations.--Judge
Harmon in Youths Companion.
