City Development

Some one asks us how we people
here in Monroe City could 90 to
work on general improvement
campaign to develop the town.
1t is not an easy question. For
one thing, there has not been
enough unity in our efforts We
have been working through
churches, lodges. clubs, etc. While
splendid work has been done. there
has been a great deal of scattered
effort. What is needed is universal
co operation in some one plan
Many towns that have carried
on notable Improvement campaigns,
have gone at it in about this way.
First, they hold one or-two big
meetings, to which they ask all
local organizations to elect dele
gates. and to which they invite the
whole town. They appoint a COM
mittee to decide on certain specific
things that are within reach and
most need doing. Frequently they
invite a speaker from some town
that has conducted successful inn
provement campaign, or from some
educational institution or board of
trade. Finally after enthusiasm
has been aroused, they appoint a
committee to put the movement
over and get certain specific things
done
Here is what one town did in
such a campaign: 1t organized a
CO. operative buying and selling as
sociation for farmers. IL built a
community horse shed. 1t adopted
white Wyandottes as the standard
breed of poultry. and Holsteins as
! the standard cattle breed, so that
the town would get a reputation
for certain lines of stock 1t had a
landscape architect plan for the
Identification of TIE central COM
mon. IL revived local dramatics to
keep the young people active and
happy. And it persuaded two
churches TO unite.
Is there not room here in Monroe
City for a comprehensive move
ment for town advance, taking in
all elements and concentrating ell
our energy? The Democrat be-
lieves so. Who will star; it?

Arbor Day

Gov. Gardner issued an ArbOr
Day proclamation, designating. Fri.
day, April 4, as the day to be OBJ
served by the public schools and
citizens generally in planting trees
and shrubbery about the school
yards and in private and public
grounds. The Governor says, in
the proclamation, that it has been
suggested that this year ArbOr Day
be consecrated to an effort to per-
petuate the memory of the soldier
boys who made the supreme sacri-
fee in the war with Germany.
The Governor adds:
We can perpetuate their names
in familiar and frequented places.
1t has been fittingly suggested that
we can do this on Arbor Day by
planting young trees in the yards of
our churches, shoolhouses, homes
and along the highways, naming
each for q manned soldier. This
will sanctify the day and give. it a
new meaning. Such sction will be
"a maniie. ion of a definite and
holy purpose and result in a great
blessing"
The Governor urges more than Or
binary observance of the day this
year by the public schools aud the
people generally.

The Daylight Saving idea has

they have offered q little lower

to later delivery, Some people
claim q very early delivery is neces-
sary in summer to keep the milk.
But in these days of refrieerators it
may not be as necessary as it once

Case for Sherlock

The reported burglary Tuesday

brose Nolen of the Monroe City

and not a little discussion among
the residents of our city. The rob-
berry, as reported by Mr.. Nolen.
happened sometime Monday night
No one was unduly disturbed by the
burglar, or burglars, who entered
through sn open door and proceed,
ed to help themselves to the cash
on hand about $25. A part of
this money, something like $18, was

As We She It

This is q period when big issues
are handled only BY big combina
tions. The biggest problem before
the world today Is the prevention of
war. II cannot be handled by any
nation acting alone. and with great
difficulty if they act separately.
1t needs some form Of a world or.
eanization to settle disputes with
out war. AS the result of the lack
of such force making for peace,
the United States was plunged in
a war costing 100000 lives. If
this COVE rnment had to fight pow.
er like Germany alone, it would
cost many more than that. And
as it was, it cost $200OO.OOO,OOO
in money.
The proposed League Constitution
as it now stands. needs much
a mendment and clarifying. Four
p oints should be safeguarded and
learly established:
The Monroe Doctrine
The right of each nation to con.
troll immigration into its own ter
ritory.
The right Of any nation to with
draw from the League after a
reasonable trial.
The principle that no nation will
be expected to engage in a war ex.
cept of its consent in each individ.
ual case.
With these principles established
a nd minor points clarified, the Unit
ed States would seem to be much
more secure with such a league
than without il.
| Objection is felt by some to en-
terlDe a combination with European
powers on the ground that tn
United States would be ou,number
ed by Eufopesn Interests. But tn
same objection existed to takin
ipsrt in the recent wal. II Europ

ed States it will do so anyway.

Two of the big revenue measures
Of the session. the corporation
franchise tax and the mortgage re
eordine tax. were sent to engross.
ment in the Senate Tuesday, in q
few minutes. The franchise tax on
corporations. was called up by Sena-
tor BOwker. 1t increases this tax
from rs cents to 81 on $1,000 of
capital stock of corporations. both
domestic and foreign. doing business
in the State. It was recommended
by Gov. Gardner in his special mes
sage to the Assembly calling atten.
ton to the fact that new sources of.
revenue must be found to take the
place of the revenue that will be
lost when the dramshops exit from
the economic stage Of the State.
Senator Bowker. in presenting the
bill declared that the dollar tax on
the thousand of capital stock Of
corporations is about the average
tax in the States that impose such
taxatiOn. There was no objection
to the measure and it went over
without comment or amendment,
Senator Harris called up the
mortgage recording tax bill and ex-
planned its provisions. 1t imposes
q total tax of IS cents on the thou
sand dollars of recorded mortgages
for a period of five years. 1T crea.
tes a separate class for taxation
said Harris. and will bring satisfac-
tory results in practical operation. I"
Senator Pickett of Grundy County
was very n.ath opposed to the
measure. 1T is step in the direc
tiop Of the single tax" he deelered,
and sm sgainst it. Under the
terms OF this bill thousand dollar
mortgage will pay tax of 81 SO
for period of five years. Take a
thousand dollars worth of any other
kind of personal property and dur
ing the time the record mortgage is
paying the messly total Of $3.50 in
taxes it will pay total of $75."
Prior to taking up the engross.

ex-senator Cook reconsidered the
confirmation of John A. Lee of JEFF.
ferson City for the office of State
Supervisor of Building and Loan
Associations. This confirmation
was made in open session A par,

Senator Mccullough sought to re
call confiimatiOns of State Superin,
tendent of Insurance A. L. Harty
and E. j. Bean, member of the Pub.
lie Service Commission. They were
confirmed last week ia open session
The fact was discovered that the
HaIty aDG Bean confirmations had
been certified 10 the Governor, and
President CrOssley ruled that they
had therefore passed out of the con-
troll of the Senate. The case was
different with the Lee confirmation
which had not yet been certified tC
the executive Office. At this point
the Senate went into executive ses,
sion and the confirmation of Lee
was sustained. The main point in.
v0lved was the dissatisfaction Oi

over the confirmation of appoint

STORIES ARE CONFLICTING
FORMER KING OF PORTUGAL RE,
- PORTED At LISBON.
New Cabinet Said to Have Been
Formed and Royalist Ministers
Occupy Palaces. :

Madrid, Jan. 23.-Manuel II, former
king Of Portugal, has arrived off Lis
bon aboard ship of unknown nation
atty, according to an unconflrmed re-
port received here.
(This dispatch is not confirmed from
any source. Manuel was last reported
to be in England, where he took up his
exile in 1907
Other dispatches said that Manueps
representatives in Portugal had issued
a manifesto in his behalf, discourage
ing the leaders of the royalist con.
spiracy. These reports said that Lis
bon is quiet and that military police
are guarding the governors palace.
Manuel Declared Proclaimed King.
Premier Barbosa, who became head
OF the government following the recent
assassination of President Paes, has
been arrested in Oporto, where he
went to take action against the con.
spirators, says another story, but was
released after signing an agreement to
adhere to the monarchy.
Contrary advices said that Manuel
had been proclaimed king in Lisbon,
that a new cabinet had been formed
and that the royalist ministers had oc.
cupted the official palaces.
Monarchist forces were reported to
have been completely victorious
throughout the northern provinces.
