neither part nor purpose in any scheme

longs to him; I'VE have no sympathy
with any plan that finds its basic pur-
pose in the destruction Of government
or the organized forms OF law and or

rulers to preside over the destinies OF
a free born American people.
The very assumption of power or
autocracy established by those who
have superseded former governments

whatever changes of this kind have

There was also some sellirE on. the

offset by purchases on the part of

OFFICIALS ARE
TO CUT BUDGET
City Men Find Too Much Money
Appropriated to Meet the
Needs of the City.

Before next Monday evening at
the Moline city council meeting
nearly 100000 must be saved from
the budget for the current year.
This must be done to meet the es-
timated revenues of the city.
Moline aldermen worked on the
budgets andNappropriation until IL
last night. They have not as yet
completed their work and a spe :
cial meeting will have to be called
before next Monday to settle the
final report.
The appropriation ordinance. it
is believed, must be passed next
Monday. Before that time the
chairmen of the council commit
tees must agree on budgets which
will not, as total, exceed the es-
timated revenues of the city.
That must be done or else the
