other. 1t is the duty of the commit
tee, so far as it may be able, to ascer-
tain and recommend for the informa-
ton of the next Legislature, a rem
edy for this condition.
Similar work has been done in
other States, notably in New York,
Delaware. Ohio and Oregon, and the
results there have been remarkable.
The tendency has been toward the
consolidation Of departments, in one
State more than 81 being condensed
into seven or eight. and a saving of
many hundreds of thousa nds of dol
lars brought about. While it is too
early as yet to predict just what the
recommendations Of the Cole Com
mittee may be for this State, their
work has reached stage which jus
titles the hope that the results they
arrive at will compare favorably with
those secured in other states.
The personnel Of the Committee is
such as to warrant confidence that
it's recommendations will be of con-
siderable value The House Chair
man, Representative Cole. Is an dDle
and experienced attorney, who has
had a splendid opportunity to observe
the conduct Of the States business
from two terms in the Senate and
several in the lower branch. The
other House members are Frank Hol-
ley of North Arson, House chairman
of the appropriations committee, and
a member of the Budget Committee
for 1920 and 1921; and Hodgdon c.
Buzzell Of Belfast, an attorney, who
was floor leader for the Republicans
in the last House, and is now can
didate for the senate.

launched and the work will be
pushed vigorously during the next
few days so as to place the organi-
cation on a solid financial basis and
make it possible to start work on
the new baseball park within a
short time.
The baseball organization has
been completed with the signing CT

city at Whicl time it was the unan-
imous opinion of business men of
the city that if a baseball league
was to be organized in Waterloo,
this city should be a member.
AT the meeting in Cedar Rapids
six cities accepted franchises in the
circuit. Waterloo, Cedar Rapids,
Marshalltown, Dubuque, Ottumwa

drafted along model lines and Pres
ident Sexton Will enforce the rules
to the letter so as to make the or

son it is practically certain that
baseball can be placed on a paying
basis in this circuit. Violation OF
the salary and players limits has
wrecked. many leagues, but with the
strict enforcement of these laws it
is believed baseball can be placed
on a solid financial basis in the six
cities
Owing to Waterloo not having

will cost approximately $4,000 to

Tshed a new western conference

second and third, while Furnas,

was relegated to fourth position
after having set the pace most OF
the distance. Furnas' duties were
to lose Wharton so far that the lat
ter would be unable to sprint on
the final lap, but as it happened the
Moline boys endurance and STAN
ina were such that he had plenty IN
reserve when the crucial moment
in the race arrived.
The Illinois team won the hon
ors of the meet by scoring 44-6I
points. Wisconsin landed in sec
ond position with 1S-1l-21 point,
and Ohio State pulled up third with
s1L points. The Illini presented
an evenly balanced squad, scoring
in every event.
This is Whar;on's second year OF
competition for the Him track
team. Last season he came into
prominence by winning the two
mile event number of times. He
is expected to establish more rec
ords in his favorite event before
the outdoor season ends.
While a student in Moline hlgh
school Wharton was not considered
an unusual runner. He failed to
attract much attention in inter
scholastic circles, but when he
came under the critical eye of
Coach Harry Gill of Illinois it was
not long before his possibilities
came to the front Gill believes
that in another year Wharton will
stand out as one of the greatest
two-milers. not only that confer
ence circles have produced. but in
the country at large. He is already
considered a possibility for the next
