'OLDBILL WILL
QUIT TURNER'S
W. /. Dohr-, Caretaker Of Moline
Hall for Last "a Years, VIII
Resign Sept. 1.

Moline Turner hall will never be
the same after Aug 81, for Bill
Dohrn, who has been custodian of
the building for q years, resigns
on that date.
Mr.. Dohrn was known by every
one who had ever been in the Turn
er hall and was on hand at each
meeting. Bill took up his duties as
caretaker on May 80, 1894. Moline's
business section was then along
Third avenue and the Turner's
headquarters were In small Ger
man school house on Fifteen street
and Sixth avenue.
In 1897 the present Turner Hall
was erected and was one of the
finest buildings in the city. Mr..
Dohrn moved into the new build
ing along with the society and had
been there since.
Bill Dohrn is also well known
among the baseball fans of Moline
for he has served as custodian of
the bail grounds ever since Moline
secured a franchise in the Three
l league. He has been taking tick
cts at the main gate at Browning
field for the last two years.
The retiring caretaker states that
he has no definite plans for the i'm
mediate future but will take a few
weeks of rest before taking up an
other work. Henry T. Claussen,
who has been financial secretary for
the Turner's for the last Is years,
will take up Mr.. Dohrn's duties.

GASOLINE Men
AREPEACEFUL

Moline motorists are not benefit
ed by the price war that is being
carried on in Rock Island.
The price of ordinary gasoline in
Moline is 20 cents a gallon at all
filling stations. The Penn and Mo
line Oil stations also offer a high
er grade at 23.6 cents a gallon, and
the Moline Oil has also high test
gasoline that can be bought for
26.6 cents.
The Sinclair and Standard sta
tions offer only one grade, both
companies charging 20 cents.
A new filing station is being
erected by the Standard Oil com
pany at Fifth avenue and Thirty
sixth street. 1t will probably be
ready for business about Sept 1.

Futile Methods of Government
Ho,c Certain Cities Defeat the
Very Ends They Chiefly Seek

Down in Lincoln, where they have a cit
commission form OF govcrnment the same 4
Omaha's, with the difference that they have ais
a home rule charter, they have much the sam
problems that are presented here. The follow
ing taken from the State Journal is TAI
presentation OF the general case, and so is a
able argument for the city manager system o
running municipal business affairs:
The sixteen candidates at today's primaries
for the ten places on the election ballot arc
on which to base specific exceptions to this
statement.
Yet one has been hearing on every hand
that voters find difficulty to select a full list
OF tve candidates out OF the field OF material
presented. Does this deny the general good
siders what is being asked OF them.
>. Each mar TO be chosen is 10 I'LL two entirely
distinct. unrelated positions. We are to elect
man to superintend the streets and to make
laws governing public utilities. We are TO
Slose Slose man to manage the police and make
laws on zonlng Another man will be city
treasurer. with the further duty of participat-
inso. in making laws governing automobile
traffic
II we had to choose superintendent of
streets alone, we could pick from the list a
man who would answer very well. But VIC
must find man who is not only practiced in
street superintendent, but who has also the
broad general vision needed in city legislator
We can find man who has just the backbone
tor the police department, but does ne know
enough about city affairs in general to make
an intelligent legislator? On the other hand,
one may hnd among the candidates men who
meet his ideas as to what city councilmen
should be, but who are no more fitted for the
work OF any OF the administrative departments
than college professor for pavement con-
tractor.
There lies the difficulty. As matter OF fact,
it is very rare for the qualities needed in a law
maker to be combined i'll one and the same per-
son with the qualities needed in practical man
agement OF city department. 1t is rdicu-
lous demand we make upon our officials. 1t
is an absurd demand we make on ourselves
when we try to find FIVE such combinations.
We set for ourselves the Job of finding an Of
fcial machine which shall be equally efficient
as touring car and as truck. There is no
such animal.
Separate the two functions and the thing
is easy. This is particularly so under the
modern way OF eecting the councilman and
leaving him to selectthe specially trained man
for the administrative Job
We shall do the best we can at al imposs-
Bile task today and in the final election later
on. The results will be. as they have been in
the past. better than we have right to expect
from so absurd system. But the battling
character of the task before the voter today is
evidence that before another election comes
our city politics should be reorganized in keep
ing with common sense

Program for the Farmer.

While the committee of seventeen is busv in
Chicago. working out detailed plans for the CO.
operative marketing of farm products, the adj
ministraton at Washington ha. full program
OF legislation designed to aid the agricultural in
dustry. The Fordney bill has already been dis
cussed very extensively, and it will come ND
very early for consideration, and will probably
be passed without extensive modification OF the
form in which it was vetoedby President Wilson.
Other subjects for probable legislation embrace
the cooperative marketing plan, packer control.
Standardization of weights and measures. rep1,
lation of dealings in foodstufs and extension of
the land bank activities.
Aebraskas interest in this program is dircst,
and 1t is therefore noteworthy that Nebrask la
man IS IN position to direct the course of This
legislation to considerable degree, Senator Nor
ris being the new chairman OF the senate COM
mittee on agriculture. This place is almost as
important under the existing condition as is that
OF the finance or foreign relations committees
because of the nature OF the legislation that will
be controlled by it.
Nebraska, therefore, will not only have much
influence in the house by reason of the assign
mcnt OF the members from this state to i'm
portant committees, but is TO have great weight
in the senate as we'll Much Of the really para
mount, legislation OF the next congress will B.

"Slanderins" Senate File No. IS.

When the senate passed resolution author
zing committee to make investigation and re-
port on alleged Misrepresentation OF Senate eie
No o5. it opened way to possible mine OF IN
formation The Bee is unaware OF the character
of the oifense said to have been committed other
than that the charge is made that certain Omaha
business men and the state chambers OF COM
merce have been writing letters with reference to
the measure. While the committee is inqulring
into the nature and extent OF the attack on its
work. it might also look UP certain other points
that surely will be OF value.
Casual reading OF the measure, and close
study OF some OF its provisions leads inevitably
to the conclusion that it is designed to shift the
burden OF taxation in some respects. In looking
after the so-callcd "intangbles" certain dehn-
tions have been evolved and rules laid down that
on their face appear TO be unfair. 1t is not de-
sirablc that moneys or credits OF any kind should
be permitted to escape their proportionate share
OF taxation, and il is equally undesirable that any
discrimination be made between them. Senate
File No. 65 apparently docs both. 1t is de-
signed primarily to bring into the open certain
property that has heretofore been lost sight OF
when the assessor goes around, but whether in
effect OF disturbing the general balance between
taxable assets is another question.
Certain business concerns feel they are to be
unduly pressed under the proposed law, while
others. equally liable, are to be permitted to
get off very lightly. 1t is this feeling that has
brought on the campaign against the measure.
Especially do the building and loan associations
anticipate that they will suffer under the opera
tons OF the law if it is passed. and certain COM
mereial and industrial organizations are similarly
apprehensive. These read in the bill provisions
that appear the surface to work hardship
against them while alongside and sometimes N
the same clause are ether provisions that tend
to tighten the imposition other institutions that
should share alike in the general contribution.
Nothing could be more natural than that the
persons who feel themselves about TO be sub
against any such action on part OF the legisla-
turc Ii in doing SO, they have. oyerstepped the
bounds OF propricty, it is simply duty the
senate owes itself to insist that the matter be
cleared up.
However ii the legislators have an idea that
they are going to pass a revenue measure that
will meet approval OF all. they will have to
extensively modify Senate File No. IS. 1t may
bring To the surface assets hitherto concealed,
but it is quite certain 10 prove source OF
immense confusion and perhaps serious trouble
in its enforcement At all events. the public is
entitled to know exactly what 1T contains and
this seems to be what its critics have tried to
point out
