to be one Of the longest in recent
times. This is the first time in 10
years that the administration has
been completely republican. In 1911

NEW BUILDINGS.
Prescott and Jones Erect Garage, Two
Residences Under Construction,
Homes Being Improved.


Residences Under Construction,
Homes Being Improved.
The only new place of business that
has been erected in Princeton this
spring is the Prescott & Jones garage
on the Scenic highway, about three
blocks north of the west branch bridge.
The garage is "a feet by 36 feet and
is to be completed with stucco finish.
Although the building is not yet COM
pleted, Mcssrs Prescott and Jones are
ready to handle the repair work.
About May l filling station will be
installed. When the filling station
has been put in, the street in front of
it tiled and the stucco finish put on
the building, the new garage will be
distinct addition to the north Sec
ton of town. Princeton has . num-
Der Of garages but they all ought to do
a good business considering the num-
bers of cars in the. village and the
surrounding country and the tourists
who will pass through here during the
motoring season.
Eric Elsner, who lives just a block
north Of the new garage, is remodeling
his home. This bungalow is also to
have a stucco finish: 1t has splen-
did location right opposite the village
park.
George Newton is making many i'm
proyements to his furniture store. He
has raised and placed wood ceiling
in the back rooms and will lay a new
floor. He insends razing the shed in
his. back lot and utilizing the lumber
for other purposes. -
A new residence block south OF
the Catholic church is being erected
by Henry Olson. This promises to be
one of the attractive homes in that
portion of the town. It is six-room
house and is to be finished with a
veneer of white pressed brick. Mr.
Olson is equipping his new home with
modern plumbing and, being first
class electrician, he has done all the
wiring himself.
Another residence is being built by
G. A. Barrett on the lot between his
old home and the Northwestern hos
.pital. Mr.. Barrett has plans for al
! attractive stucco bungalow.
A few other homes are being i'm
proved by the addition of a porch o.
little repair work and, best of all
nearly every resident of the village i:
cleaning up his premises. Some build
ings would be considerably improved
with little paint and paint is mucl
cheaper than it was last year. Their
this is an early spring and everyone
should take time to SOW some flower
seeds. A few flowers and shrubs ado
much to the appearance of any hom'
and furnish enjoyment to the entire
public.

Lury, Commissioner of Education j.
M. Mcconnell, and Miss Clara F.
Baldwin, director of the libraries.
Considering the educational bills,
the house defeated proposed general
lewiston of county superintendent
salaries on the basis of the number of
schools. The vote wars 55 to So.
The house appropriations commit
tee cut to $4,000 the fund for the i'm
migration department.. The state blue
book will also be cut to half its pres
ent size next year in order to ccono-
mize.
A clause providing that if the courts
find any part Of the state highways
bill unconstitutional the entire meas
ure she'll not be invalidated was
adopted by the senate and house con-
ference committee on the bridge Sec
ton of the measure. It also adopted
provision that state highways may
extend to the middle of interstate
bridges.
Amended in so many places that 1t
looked at the finish like mere patch
work of the original, the state aid bill
prepared by the state department OF
education and recommended out by
the committee on education, which had
worked over it all winter, the bill
amending the laws granting state aid
to schools finally was passed by the
house. The amendments offered and
adopted would save the state more
than 100000 year, according to
the estimates made by their sponsors.
State aid is to be secured from the
income of the endowment fund, from
the proceeds of the 1-mill tax which
makes up the current school fund, and
the school aid fund, which will consist
of whatever amount may be appro-
priated by the state legislature.
The house on Tuesday passed the
senate bill legalizing preprimary con-
ventions to indorse candidates Tor
state and congressional Offices and to
adopt party platforms. The vote on
the bill was SO to so. An amendment
striking out the congressional conven-
tons asked for by the members from
ninth district was defeated. Amend
ments offered by Charles Warner, who
led the fight for the bill, were adopt
ed. One amendment strikes out the
section providing for recovering OF
convention in event of a special cleo
ton to fill vacancy Another amend,
ment strikes out a provision that
names of candidates Endorsed by the
party convention should appear first
on all ballots.
Voters of the state will have an op'
portunity to ballot on constitutional
amendment providing an occupatlona
tax on iron and other ore production
at the next general election. The SEN
ate yesterday adopted, 40 to IL, the
bill already passed by the house. A
bitter fight was carried on by Senators
F. A. Carley and Ole Sageng to have
the word "occupational" stricken. This
was lost by tie vote, 81 to 81. Thu
senate adopted an amendment tina
did not specify the percentage Of tai
to be levied.
The elections bill providing for pre-
primary conventions to indorsc candi
, dates for state and congressional OF
!, fees was passed yesterday by the sen
, ate, including amendments adopted o.
2 Tuesday by the house, and was read
E for the governors signature.

SIGNS OF BUSINESS
IMPROVEMENT SEEN
Domestic Lines Have Turned
Corner, Says Surrey.

Two outstanding indications that do
nestle business has turned the corner
are cheaper money. with its concomitant
easier credit. and the more or less wide
spread industrial revival, says the
Guarcnty S7n-vey, put out by the Guar
anty Trust Company OF New York. Dis
cussing that improvement. It says in
part:
"a building boom is sweeping the
country. There is decided betterrnent
in the textile trades and the shoe and
leather industries report progress. Our
surplus copper Is gradually being mar
keted at prices that tend upward.
There is increased output of iron and
steel and the railroads are coming back
into the market. Business failures are
less numerous. Unemployment gener-
ally Is decreasing and savings are in
creasing.
Through the gradual liquidation and
utilization of accumulated stocks OF
commodities the way has been prepared
in number of industries for all In
creased volume OF production for cur
rent consumption. The check to the
downward course OF general prices IN
this country and abroad has lessened
the incentive TO defer contemplated pur-
chases. and this condition supplements
the depletion of holdover stocks in Gre
ating an enlarged demand for current
production"

ent public school training in his ma

in a sailing vessel to the United States
by neighbors, who were making the
trip. the youth joining his brother
Henry, who had preceded him about
six years at st. Louis.

throng which wended its hazardous
and wearisome way across the broad
burning plains. His experiences dur

him, and eliminated in his capture,
with another teamster by the famous
bandit Jewel who detained them for
three days and then released them
and sent them on to their destination
with two scouts. Arriving in the
Golden state, Mr. Gilmore found,
with others, that all was not so bright
as it had been painted. but he i'm
mediately settled down to mining. at
which he was principally engaged
during the following twelve years with
some degree of success. During this
time he was in both California and
Idaho, and in the latter state served

grievously. 1t may very well be that
the citizen who now smokes his nickel
cigar (for which he pays ten cents,
OF course) could afford to pay eleven
cents and still get some satisfaction
out of the smoking, but the smoker
is pretty well taxed already. After
all. he is merely a citizen who "re-
lakes" with his tobacco instead OF
nut sundaes or midnight suppers.
According to his way Of thinking, his
ration OF the weed is practically a
necessity. If he is a. poorly paid
working man he gets jNst as much
pleasure cut of his pipe On curve-cut
or quid of scrap as he would IL he
had million dollars and imported
corktie cigarettes bearing his private
monogram, yet the millionaire can't
consume any more tobacco, for all he
is able to pay more taxes without heel-
ing the pinch. AS for taxing movi,>s
if there is anything that is taXeA'
heavier than the tobacco trade it
must be the movies. The feeling
seems to be that the people are hav-
ing too much pleasure and the tax
rod must be laid on to chasten them
into a more somber mood. or course
if it could be shown that these in
dustries have been escaping their just
share of taxation the shoe would be
on the other foot. But 1t is believed
that investigation would show that
they are bearing their full part of
the burden--if not more. The evil
dence is both convincing and cumula-
tive, so far as the tobacco user and
the movie are concerned. And they
are the people who will have to pay
the tax in the end.

Tennessee. who brought with them
the institutions, romance and chivalry
of the old South. her later population
came largely from the North and
East, bringing with them the virtues
and sterling qualities of that great
region. HFrom this commingling of
the descendants of Cavalier and Puri-
tan there was developed a people
possessed of the virtues of both
strains; yet free from the narrowness
and prejudice which haG characterize
ed each blood. Thus was developed
the Missourian. the typical American.
PH'4i.l Tribute to Pershing
"From Missouri have flowed the
tides of immigration which largely
peopled and gave character to the
state of the great Southwest and Pa
cific coast. AS Virginia is the mother
of the South, so is Missouri the moth
er of the West.
"As Doniphan. the Missourian. in
the war with Me xico, struck the i'm.
portant blow, so Pershing, the Mis-
sourian, in the world war struck the
blow that shattered the German
forces and saved the allies from de-
struction."
Senator Reed paid tribute to early
Missouri statesmen and particularly
to Thomas II. Benton. whom he de-
1 scribed as a man who sacrificed his
career rather than indorse doctrines
dangerous to mis- country.
There were giants in those days"
he said. but among them lowered
Thomas III. Benton, the intellectual
colossus of Missouri. In persuasive
eloquence he equaled Clay: in seath-
ing satire. Calhoun; in profound log
ic, Daniel Webster; in sweep OF vision
he surpassed al, great men Of his
time. He alone saw and prophesied
the incompatible greatness OF the
| West. Discovering in advance of
other men the fateful consequences
of doctrines popular in his day, he re-
fused with unfaltering heart to sacri-
flee patriotism upon the altar OF per-
sonal ambition. He went to defeat
but who would not prefer the glory
of defeat in his country's defense to
victory purchased by sacrificed pa
triotism or sullied honor"
No Frcalxish laws
II Missouri, her senior senator de-
clared. has refused to worship al
the shrine of strange gods. Wild. ex-
perimental and freakish laws have
neither blighted her progress nor de-
filed her escutcheon; Missouri has re.
mained true to the highest ideals OF
representative government.
During the world war Missouri
responded CALAMITY to every demand
of the government, but she remained
. singularly free from the, hysteria anC
