House of Representatives, including
clerks to members of the House,

The Marion B. Rhodes, mentioned
in the certified statement, is my son
and is clerk in my office at basic
salary of $1,000 per year. He is "a
years of age and a graduate of the
Missouri University, and would
probably be drawing higher salary
if he was working for someone else.
Mrs. Rhodes does help me in my Of
flee, but receives no pay for what she
does. The amount Of work to be
done in the office of member of
Congress is so great that no one per-
son can do it all. At times | am COM

that the remedy was in their own
hands.
The home rule plan which the COM
mittee is recommending to the con-
vention. it was pointed out, follows
the modern trend and has the approx
al of those best informed on munich
pal government. Fourteen states
have adopted the general idea of To-
cal self-government for cities and in
no single sinstance has there been
return to the old system. On the
contrary, both the cities and the
states are more than satisfied and
the tendency is for more home rule.
1t is to be borne in mind that there
is no purpose to take any power away
from the state. such as taxation, cleo
tions, public utilities and the general
police power of the state.

it were unfriendly to the public SER
vice commission. Several members
spoke in favor of that body, de-
scribing it as one of the best agencies
established by statute, but theey were
not in favor of making it consti-
tutional body. Another reason was
that the committee report on eXecu-
tive and ministerial departments had
seen fit to name only four depart
ments, leaving eigh others to be nam
ed by the general assembly,and also
because the convention had voted
against proposition that named all
the twelve departments.
With minor changes the report of
the Committee on Elective and Minis
terial Departments has gone through
the convention from the committee of
the whole and will be considered by
the Committee on Fhraseology andAr-
rangement, before coming again be-
fore the convention. The principal fea-
lures as has been reported before are
the provisions for state executive
budget system and limiting of the
departments of state to twelve.
A substitute for the committee re-
port provided that the general as
sembly should create budget system
for the disbursement of state funds,
under which the governor was to sub
NIT an estimate of revenues for the
next biennia | period, together with
itemized, detailed recommendation
as to thefinancial requirements of the
various state institutions and depart
ments Of government. Objection was
made to leaving everything to the gen.
eral assembly, and aafter full con-
sideration the convention declined to
substitute it for the committee re-
port.
The lawyers of the convention have
been dubbed the"57 varieties" 1t was
suggested that if the lawyers would
only vote together the labors of the
convention might soon be con-
cluded, but they sometimes had as
many different opinions as there were
lawyers. However. it was considered
a good thing that they did not
agree without thoroughly discussing
all questions that were presented.
With all their differences it is evident
that they are a unit in wishing to
build constitution that will be a
credit to the state.
Afer more than five months con-
sideration Of Article X of the con-
stitution of 1875 and sixty-nine pro-
posals submitted to it, the Committee
I on Taxation has filed it's report. 1t
is the largest report made to the con-
vention and carries somee of the most
important suggestions for revision of
the constitution, though in the main
the provisions of the old document
have been followed quite closely.

Instructions to Voters

for like office in a group, cross OK mark in
the square to the left of a candidates name,
automatically votes against the candidate whose
name appears within the same horizontal lines
in the column under the circle in which appears
the cross OK mark, unless you indicate another
candidate to be voted against by drawing line
through such candidates name.
All candidates Of the party whose circle is
marked, are counted as voted for excepting
where squares are crossed preceding the names
of the candidates in other columns; If two or
more candidates for the same office are thus
designated, neither are counted.
II the cross OK is not placed in the circle
Immediately below the party name at the head
Of the column, but does appear in the squares
opposite the various candidates names, then
only these names are counted and none other.
A cross OK mark is any line crossing any
other line at any angle within the voting space,
and no ballot is void because a cross OK mark
therein is irregular in form.
Do not defaee or tear ballot in any man
ner, nor erase any printed name Except as

JOURNAL THROWS NEW LIGHT ON
 COOKS DEATH

Sydney, N. s. w, Oct 30-(A. p ---An important manuscript, the orig lnal journal kept by Lieutenant lame But ney, aboard H. B. M. S. Discovery, which was a companion ship to the Resolution, commanded by Captain James Cook on his last voyage around which ended on the Island of Ha- waii, where he met his death, has been purchased by the Mitchell Id- brary of Sydney, the repository of mary valuable papers on Australian history.
 The journal, which never has been published, throws new light upon the circumstances surrounding the death Of Captain Cook. It said that the explorer had gone ashore to invite the king of the island and his sons to discuss the theft of a cutter be- longing to the Discovery He was returning to his boat with King ker rioE co when he was killed, according to the journal.
 'Captain Cook was about to give orders for embarhing when he was pr .voked by the insoIence of man armed with a thick mat and long spike" the journal reads. Captain Cook fired at this man with small shot, which neither penetrated the mat nor frightened the Indian, as was eNpe cted it would do- Another man with an iron spike came near MT. Phillips, who, suspecing his inten- tions, drove him back with the butt end of his musket.
 
 barreled gun, immediately fired with ball. The sergeant said he had shot tn wrong man, whereupon he told the sergeant to shoot the right one. The Indians gave a VOlley of stones and began to close. Captain Cook ordered the marines to fire, The In- dian gave back, but advanced before the marines had time to load. The marines were obliged to take to the vGter. Captain Cook was struck by a Indian and he turned and beat his assailant back with his musket. He received at the same moment a blow on the head and a stab with a spike in the neck, which tumbled him into the water. Unable to swim and stunned by the blow, he turned to- ward the shore and a number of the Indians surrounded him and dragged him on the rocks. where they beat and stabbed him in several places, sana tching the daggers from each oth- e, cut of eagerness to have their share in killing him.

to use. The word gas is obsolete in modern warfare. Modern chemists employ powder. Pulverized drops of corrosives is the new gas This pro- jection of dust irritates the lungs and facilitates the entrance of a multitude of bacteria.
 ''We know well how to attack. but to defend ourselves is another quest tion. We must find means of protec- tion effective against all chemicals. Special rubberized clothing. light comfortable masks, durable for sev- eral days, must be found. Men must be able to eat, sleep and work while wearing them.
 Gas Outlawed.
 At Washington and The Hague a covenant was made stamping gas as inhumane. Germany did not adhere to this convention. There is no doubt but that Germany would stoop to any method for victory. We cannot pre- mean the closing of every chemical product factory in Germany.
 'At the present time our army pos sesses only two sorts of masks. There is the generator and the filter. The generator is serViceable but expensive chemicals in this type are quickly ex- hausted.
 There are two types of filter masks the Tissot and the A. R. S. The Tissot is good, but fragile and cum bersome. The A. R. s. was a good mask in 1917, but is of no service with the new gas.
 Chemical warfare is in its infan- cy- With the evolution of science rapid progress is expected. Without eNaggeration one may say that there is already as much difference between the gas of 1915 and 1922 as between a flintlock musket and a machine gum"

Paris Oct. 30.-''In case of war half of France, including Paris, may be destroyed by gas," warns Le Matin. 'FCh hemical warfare must enter our reign of gas terror" is the judg- ment of Marshal Foch.
 The Matin states that Frances neighbors are actively studying the employment of gas as an offensive weapon. The article is written be- cause of a recent report from the United States relating to the unpre- paredness of France to protect her soldiers from gas.
 "A well-known French professor recently asked to borrow an army gas mask for an experiment. He searched through an entire case of supposedly serviceable masks and did not find one in good condition.
 We must remember that the civi- liam popualtion must be protected as well as the soldiers. Millions of ci- if they are not provided with masks and trained in gas discipline. Each one should be furnished with a ser Viceable mask. But have we the masks?

 Eordon, Oct. 30-A modern school or Arttul Dodgers has grown up in London Scotland Yard is worried ana wondering whether there is some f1ckpockets are fourishing in Lon don, and the police admit that the modern dips are the most re- sourceful that they have ever enccun- tered They are working with great success in the huge elevators that brlng passengers up from the subway stations. Crowded bus-stops are a harvest field for the pickpockets, and even the buses are worked successful ly.
 The baby is even being used as a deEoy. woman enters a bus and is followed by a piclap ocket carrying a child. If the bus is crowded the pfchpocket asks the woman to hold the baby, and while changing the child from his arms to those of his victim he generally manages to open q purse or lift a brooch.
 Aeroplanes flying over London have proven a harvest for the "dips." Tn y point to aeroplanes and make loud eXclamations and when they have a crowd interested, ply their trade.
 Wallet-snatchers have been most successful during the Summer sea son, when tourists have crowded the narrow London streets.
