There should be a higher tax rate on
assessed valuation Of property so that the
city can make the improvements which its
importance demands" he said. THE pres
ent rate of 81 35 is too little. 1t should be
raised TO $3.50. 1t would have been raised
by the outgoing Council IT, unfortunately,
the members were not candidates for re-
election at the time they met TO fix the
rate. With an increased tax rate the city
can undertake its business efficiently in
spite Of the high cost of materials and labor,
which make higher rate necessary.

Bow Scout Camp.

The boy scouts will go to camp
Tuesday the fourteenth of this month
and remain in camp for ten days re-
turning on the evening of the 23rd or
the morning of the oath. The camp
will be held on the Pilkington place,
about five miles this sfue of Nauvoo.
The camp site is an ideal one. There
is a fine spring on the grounds so the
scouts will have good drinSng wa
ter a fine sandy beach about one hun
dred yards long furnishing sare
place to swim, many shade trees and
heavy woods to roam through ana taf
enough from home and the road to In
SIRE privacy. The scouts are looking
forward to the outing with great an
ticipation and no doubt will enjoy a
pleasant outing.
Scout officials are making big plans
for the camp and intend that it shall
mean more to the boys than purely
recreation. 4 program of scout activi-
ties will be carried out that will keep
the hoys busy all day long, but scout
activities are just the things that

boys like to do the best so it will be
fun. Strict discipline and close SUI
pervision will be maintained through
out the camp.
Swimming and boating will be al
lowed at regular hours and when su-
pervision can be given. This and
some other rules to insure the safety
and the welfare of the campers will
be rigidly enforced and a violation Is
sufficient reason for sending the Of
fender home.
The boys are going to be fortunate
in having such splendid leaders as FL
mer G.. Weisman, Allen Immegart, Ar
thur Lumberg, Bernard Merriam, Ed
ward Walsh Marshall Fulton and
Keith Crown.
The cost of the camp is made just
as low as possible and the only charge
to the boys is for the"food. Registra-
ton should be made to the camp
executive before Saturday. Every
scout is expected to go and must re-
port and give excuse If it is impos-
sible to attend Scout Commissioner

morrow.

Bad Country For KINGS

Poland has not been very kind to its kings
in the past. Henry of Valois, a worthless
man who was elected to the throne by the
diet, fed, after reign of FIVE months, in a
most iudicrous fashion; Michael Wienio-
wiecki, son of famous general, weak and
Insignificant man who was elected king
against his will, "died suddenly one
Augustus was deposed; his successor Stanis-
laus Leszczynski, was compelled tc leave
the country; Ladislaus had to resign and so
had the last king, Stanislaus.
Wnen the time came for Sigismund ii to
take the crown, trouble arose from his mar
rirge. He had secretly espoused, as a
widower, widow of the great house of
Radziwill, and the mobiles required the union
to be annuled because they thought the
country would gain more by foreign alli-
ance. Sigismund carried his point, and his
wife was crowned queen, but she died soon
afterward, not without suspicious of having
been poisoned by her mother-in-law.
