The Autocrat of the Budget.

In his address at St. Louis, attempt
ing to answer the resolutions adopted
by the State Conference of Demo-
Gratis, held on the nth of April, Gov
ernor Hyde declared that the budget
commissioner, created by the budget
bill, was merely advisory" in the
matter Of making estimates. although
he declared the same officer to be
supervisory in his relation to state
purchases and to the sale of surplus
products. The Governor argued that
the powers given the budget COM
missioner amount to nothing more
than the powers now vested in the
State tax commission.
OF course, if the Governor were
correct i'll this statement then there
is neither rhyme nor reason in the
budget bill. If the State tax COM
mission is now called upon to do the
things that the budget commissioner
might do, there is no need for this
new department, which is to cost at
least five times as much as the tax
commission. Obviously, this is true,
but this is not all of the story, as
the Governor must know. The
budget bill creates a commissioner,
who not only has the power to
supervise the preparation of depart
mental estimates, and to offer au-
thoritative advice to the legislature
upon appropriations, but, through his
bureau of purchases, this commits
sioner has supervisory control of all
supplies of every kind and character
by and for the State" This provision
is so broad, and the powers. conferred
by the bills general terms are so ex
tensive. that the budget commission
er becomes the most puissant officia
in the State.
In the first place, he makes up til
estimates for. appropriations for tn

REPUBLICANS VOTE DOWN
FARMERS FREE LIST

The Republican Congress has oon'
much blowing OF horns and pouno'
ing of cymbals over their anti
dumping tariff bill, which they hav'
claimed was for the protection OF th'
American farmers, but when at thf
passage of the measure in the Senate
some days ago they had an oppor.
tun;tv to relieve the farmer OF one OF
the greatest burdens under which he
has to struggle, the high cost OF
farm machinery, tools, fertilizers ana
tw;nes. they turned their backs
souarely upon the farmer and every
Republican Senator present voted III
favor of the manufacturer e. anu
against the farmers.
When the anti dumping, or emer-
eency tariff bill came up tor passage
in the Senate, Senator HARRISON d
Democrat. introduced an amendment
the purpose OF which was to piace
nnon the free list the farmers tools,
machinery, and other articles when
he is colnpett1 d 10 buy m order to
carry on his farming.
Here is Senator Harrisons amend
ment:

Should Republican politicians and
party leaders endeavor to evade the
referendum on their pet projects, 40
enacted by the last legislature, by re-
pealing and passing the measures
again at special session, with suff;-
cient slight changes to call them new
laws, it will be prima facie evidence
that they are afraid Of the verdict of

good laws and If the Governor and
his political aids are not afraid of
their reception by the people, they

SECRET STUFF
is DISHED OUT
TOAUCIE CREW
Coach Swedberg Believed To Have
Something Up Sleeve for
st. Ambrose.
BY KENNETH CONREY.

Football practice at Augustana
college was held behind closed
doors yesterday afternoon, and just
what Swedberg outlined in prep
aration for the coming game Sat
urday with the st. Ambrose eleven
is known only by himself and the
players. 1t can be said that every
phase of the game from signal
practice to scrimmage will be gone
over in the two remaining days
Art will probably send the second
string men against his regular
crew in scrimmage this afternoon.
Tomorrow a light practice will be
held Swedberg will go over the
new plays and formations which
have been worked out during the
course of the week, and probably
will spend some time on the run
ming interference. From the little
information which can be squeezed
from authorities at Augustana, the
team has shown a decided improve
ment IN this department of the
game. Much time has also been
given to perfecting the sky attack.
This method of attack will more
than likely be used to good advan-
tage by the Lutherans Saturday.
Just what the new plays consist of
Is not known, but reports are TO the
effect that the team has them down
TO perfection and should get AWAY
from the start if they work as well
in the game Saturday as they have
in practice.
II We'slt means anything, and it
IS generally conceded that the
heavier team has a great advantage
over Its opponents. Augustana will
nave an edge in this over the
Saints. The Lutherans' line is
about ten pounds heavier to the
man than that of the Ambrose ag-
gregation, and the backfield is con-
siderably heavier. The manner in
which the Augustana line has been
charging in practice gives assurance
that there will be some large OPP
enings for Swedberg's backfield
men
Although outweighed, the st.
Ambrose team is fast and shifty,
and promises to make things live
ly for the Augustana crew. Coach
Brlndley has also been putting in
some hard ticks this week, and isl
confident that his men can slip
a victory over the Swedes. Two,
Moliners will be in the ST. Ambrose
lineup. Frank DeClerk, we'll known
to tri-city football fans, will be one
of the halfbacks used. Frank has
gained a wide reputation as one of
the fastest men that has been seen
IN any tr1-clty contest, and will be
one OF Brindley's chief ground
gamers. He played halfback for

for the annual classic with Molina

Hearts are beating Just a little
faster, not only those of the pIav.

in anticipation of a bitter hattla
with the ancient rivals. This is
the time when studies suffer for,
the girls and boys cannot rest ees-
lily until the question of superior
ity is settled.
On the result of this contest
hinges the success or failure of tba
season for both schools. Aside
from winning state or district
championship, no victory can be 50
sweet to either school as that which
will be determined at Browning
field.
Moline has gone through an IN
defeated schedule thus far. while
the Islanders have fallen once.

both appear evenly matched. but
those who have seen Moline are
inclined to give the Swedes a slight
edge. This is TO the liking Of the
Island city aggregation, for exper-
fences OF the past have proven it
is best to enter the game on the
short end of the odds.
Since the Moline contest has an
peared on the horizon a new spirit
has seemed to grip the Rock Is
land boys. SlipshOd methods OF
training for the earlier games has
given way to serious preparation.
The youngsters vie with one an
other to be first in uniform and at
the field each afternoon. Scrim-
mage and Hmbering up exercises
are INDUCED in until supper time.
The present week has produced
more pep than at any time during
the season. Snap and pep charac-
terize every move of the players
and all seem anxious to do the
things that will react to their ben
eft, for this one big game at least.
Excellent care is shown the play

every night after practice and pre-
caution taken against charley
horses and kindred ailments A
few of the members are still both

whole the condition of the squad
could hardly be better.
One of the biggest crowds in the
history OF the inter-city struggle
is anticipated. for the enthusiasm

RUTH'S SHARE

World Series Coin.

Chicago, Nov. 3.-"Babe" Ruth's

warned they were violating base
ball rules, remain unpaid, it was
learned today
Distribution of the players
shares of the championship purse
is decided by the commissioner.
Judge Lands. When Judge Lands
learned of Ruth's exhibition tour in
defiance of orders it is said, he sent
word to the owners of the Yankee
team of his intention to hold up
the offenders shares and this re-
port, it is said, might have caused
Ruth to abandon his tour.
Ruth, Meusel and Piercy, each
have a claim for $3,263. Twenty
five members of the Yankee team
come in for full shares, and claims
have been paid with the exception
of these three men.
Judge Lands delay in making a
decision in the Ruth case may be
due to the fact that he holds this
weapon over the players heads, it
has been stated. Those inclined
to speculate declared that the judge
figures it a good plan to let the
players think over the offense until
they realize their mistake. Then.
they declare, he will either punish
them by holding their pay, or will
issue statement denouncing the
rule involved and give the men

Lake Forest, Ill, Nov. 3.-An-

college and Lake Forest academy
will be held Saturday, when the
college meets Beloit and the acad-
envy meets Shattuck.
This year it happened that the
schedules o fthe two schools were so
arranged that their important holna
games fell on the same day. They
decided then to have their Celebra-
titons together.
In addition the inauguration cere-
monies of President Herbert n.

and Saturday, the homecoming on
Saturday marking their culmina-
ton.
The college game will be played
at l O'Clock, the academy game
at 3.
Last year Beloit beat Lake For

ing Coach Glaze the last week, but
most of the men are again eligible.
Lake Forest Academy has not met
Shattuck since 1908, when it got a
beating. Eight members of the old
1908 academy team expect to be on
the sidelines Saturday. The acad-
envy team is in good shape. Thus
far this season it has not been
forced to show its full strength this
soon, but Shattuck will doubtless
be its strongest opponent this year
