Architects in other cities, an- swering requests of the Chamber of Commerce to quote on the job of re- checking the auditorium plans ask from s3.5OO to s5,OOo for the work. None has yet stated how long it would take.
 Replies were received from a half dozen architects Thursday. One New York architect named his fee as s5,000 A Detroit architect placed his charge at s3,500. Another New York architect replied that his time was too fully occupied to take on additional work. None of them named the time that he would require, al though that was one of the questions asked.
 Spiker & Lose of Atlanta, consult ing engineers and architects, have written letter saying they would accept the job of rechecking the plans and mentioned the fact that they were consulting architects for D. o.

LIMIT ISSUANCE OF' TAX FREE BONDS |S.
 WELLS PROPOSAL
Enormous Amount of Govern ment Securities on Market Less Desirable Now,
 He Says

Oscar Wells Thursday addressed the Community club at the Tutwiler luncheon on "Tax Exempt Securities" and discussed the question of desir- ability of limiting issuance by the states and feredal government of tax free securities.
 He said the question had two as- economical and that he wished to consider the latter. He said that he favored the limitation of issuance of tax exempt securities on the ground ttat they were economically unsound. The losses to the states and to the federal government by being deprived of the right to tax these securities were at present much greater than the gains that could come by selling tax free securities at attractive rates.
 The practice of issuing tax free securities developed in times when the government had to raise large sums of money quickly, and thought it was necessary to make some spe cial inducement to investors, Mir. Wells stated. When this practice was first inaugurated, such securities were very attractive to investors by reason of their tax exempt provisions and also because of the relative scarcity of such bonds. Today there is upon the market an enormous amount of government bonds that are exempt from taxation and by reason of such large numbers of bonds be- ing available they are, relatively speaking, less desirable than former ly, he declared.
 Reciprocal Agreement
 The speaker stated that in order to restrict the issuance of bonds by gov ernmental agencies it would be neees- sary for the states and for the fed eral government to enter into some reciprocal agreement permitting their taxation under certain circumstances or it would be necessary to amend the federal constitution so as to deny the states and the federal govern ment the right to issue tax free se curities. The effect of the federal constitution might be objectionable to the doctrines of the democratic party on account of the infringement upon the doctrine of states right, MT. Wells said.
 As far as any reciprocal agreement between the states and the federal government Is concerned, the respee- tive governments might provide by legislation that when the states tax the securities of the federal govern n.ent, the federal government would have the right to tax the securities
 ,N-k Wells stated that he believed that if some reciprocal agreement of this sort were put in force it would serve to restrict the large losses the states and the federal government are today sustaining from their inability to tax outstanding tax exempt bonds.
 The talk on tax free securities was made at the special request of club w B. Sadler, Jr., presided.

day in the entire year, the day when
we pause in the mad scramble for
worldly things to honor those heroes
who died that this great nation might
endure, to honor those who risked
and gave their lives for an ideal in
the Spanish American War.
Our comrades of the G. A. R. who
have always conducted Memorial day
observances are no longer able ply
sically to assume this burden so we
gladly take it off of their shoulders
and give to them the place of homer
which they so richly deserve.
DR.. Boone of Caldwell, real ora
tor will deliver the address of the
day and we assure you it will be
worth hearing he is fine speak
err and possesses a keen intellect and
will bring message that will not
be forgotten soon.

.ssembled in Payette will be here. /

lorial day morning The question
