WOULD CUT EXPENSE
Governor Davis Wants Offices
Consolidated.

Boise, Jan. 14.-Governor Davis
today introduced blll into the legis-
lature which takes over forty eight
separate departments Of the state
government and places them under
nine heads, thereby saving the state,
1t Is believed, thousands of dollars
and much needless waste of time and
energy.
That there will be some opposition
To its enactment into law seems
certain to observers here. This will
come however from the office holder
who sees his cynosure slipping away,
say the political wiseacres. These
men who now hold office and would
be displaced under the governors
business efficiency plan are for the
most part rather strong politically in
their homes.
What the bill provides:
The supercedance OF forty eight
uepdTImeuUS NY ulne.
The saving of thousands of dollars
expense.
Making the governor directly
answerable to the people for the buSi-
Dess efficiency of his administration.
Provision of a cabinet to advise
with the governor on all important
matters, composed of heads of de-
partments.
Placing of state finances on a sound
business basis.
Direct representation of the people
through advisory boards composed Of
nine members to serve without pay
for five departments.
To receive expert advise and real
public opinion through the personnel
vi the advisory boards, all the
memb bers of which serve for patriotic
reasons.
No addition of functions but a far
more rapid attention TO public
natters.
An elimination Of red tape and
congestion of public affairs.

TO FIX WATER RATES
Problem Is Confronting Rath-
drum Trustees.

The board OF village trustees had
another tussle with the water ordi-
nance Monday evening when that
measure came up for its second
reading. The bone Of contention,
as before, is the fixing of sched-
ule of rates. The present scale
of monthly rentals is not consid-
cred properly adjusted, but it is
pretty we'll agreed that no scale
that the board may fix will be sat-
isfactory to everybody. Water
meters are too expensive and it is
believed they would add TO the
cost Of maintaining the system.
Therefore the board is confronted
with the alternative of doing the
best it can in fixing scale ofratts
and let it go at that. The ordi-
nance comes up for its final read
ing Jan. II.
The present water rates were
fixed by an order of the board
more than ten years ago and were
originally as follows: Residences
to rooms, $r25;, over S rooms,
81. SO; without hydrant (wster car
ried from neighbours hydFant) IS
cents; Offices, SO cents; stores,
81 so; halls, barber shops, hotels,
rooming houses and livery stablts,
81 to S. according to size. A
special rate of 81 per month was
established for ministers, of the
gospel. Later on succeeding
boards of trustees have from time
to time in special instances where
circumstances seemed to Mstify,..
fixed rate ot$1 for houses 'occde'
pied by one person, and 'TedIcsd. !.
rates on hotels, barber shops and
livery stables. y III = - rRias
1t is probable that schedule Of
rates will be established and incor-
porated into the ordinance nov
under consideration and the trus-
tees be empowered to make
refunds and changes in exception
al cases where evidence lis prof.
duced to satisfy them as to the
justness of such refunds or
| changes.
At Mondays meeting the board
heard the village treasurer's report
showing outstanding warrants
amounting to $4,000 and cash on

Fa NOUS Hudson Faster Dies
(Hudson Star Observer)

Dr.. Tanner died the first Of the
week at San Diego, Cal. In the
seventies the Doctor practiced med
icine in Hudson He won undying
fame through his forty days fast in
the early eighties, 1t is believed to
the first purely voluntary fast of
hat length on record. He abstain
ed from all food for the entire
period, and from water during the
first fifteen or twenty days. He
was 81 years of ago at the time Of
his death, and science is unable to
determine how many years of his
life were cut off by his great act Of
self-denial.
While the fast was on DR.. Tanner
furnished almost the sole headliner
for all the dailies of the country.
During his residence in Hudson he
lived in the little house which still
stands opposite the Sixth street
school grounds and the second door
north of Locust street.

HERE IS YOUR CHANCE 70
LEARN ABOUT TRACTORS
Tractor School to Help All Who Are
Interested in Power FaYna-
ing

A tractor school is to be held at
the Auditorium at River Falls on
January 23rd and Oath. A. w.
Lund of River Falls is furnishing a
tractor and other equipment to be
used at this school.
This is a rare opportunity for
tractor owners and all who are in
terested in farm power. You will
get some valuable frst-hand inform
alton on tractors. A tractor is not
a complicated machine but there
are a great many more things to
know about a tractor than some or
>dinary farm machines. If the own
er is to keep the tractor running
properly he should understand it
thoroughly. 1t is very important
that all tractors are kept in good
condition, especially is that true
this year.
If the operator understands his
tractor. he will be able to prevent
many troubles. He will also be
able to get more power from his
fuel and to keep the tractor running
the maximum number of hours.
1t is TO the advantage of the tractor
owner to attend the tractor school
and learn about the underlying
principles of tractor construction
and all the little tricks in tractor
operation and care.
The tractor school TO be held by
the international Harvester Co.
will be thoroughly practical in ev-
cry way. The instructors are men
who have been handling tractors
for number of years and not only
