THEY STILL DREAM
Shock of Election Returns Brings f. 4.
Taxpayer Back to
Life.

Life.
April 4, 1928.
Mr.. Editor:-Having little faith,
went to bed early last evening and
was shocked this morning to learn
THAT the members of my family had
actually decided to have a say as to
how their money should be spent.
you already know but wish to inform
you of a little incident you may not
have heard of. The leader of the
present city administration forces
night and being worn out by hard
days work, dropped off to sleep and
was visited by another pipe dream.
He thought he went out mountain
climbing and carelessly drifted off of
Camel Boulevard and was startled to
find himself before "A six-story build
ing on Fourth street. The lower two
stories were rough and unsightly but
the upper four very imposing. He
inquired of the janitor what this was
and was told it was the new city build
ing; that when it was decided to turn
the old light plant into a city hall, it
was found to be cheaper to build four
new floors on top than to remodel the
old cement building. These two lower
floors were used as storage rooms for
the discarded machinery priced too
high to sell. A board stairway led to
the upper floors but small elevator
was located in one corner with a man
in front asleep in a rocking chair. He
asked the cause of this useless ex-
pense, but his guide said, "Why pick
on him, he is not the only useless en-
ployee on the city PAYROLL" Upstairs
the first room was occupied by the
chairman Of the utilities committee
with five experts figuring paper prof
its for the public utilities. The next
room was the police room where he
saw a large reinforced swivel chair
for the chief and several desks, but
no one present. He asked If they
were all on duty, and the guide said,
Yes, the whole force was over in
Bent county spying on a homesteader,
whose neighbors said that man from
Kim had said that friend in Baca
county told him he heard a man in
Prowers county say that he passed the
dugout the other day and thought he
detected an odor of alcohol" He had
just mounted to the next floor and was
approaching what the guide explained
was the community room where he
heard a great hubbub and voices ex-
claiming, "Ahi All" and Tut Tut"
On inquiring the meaning of this
seemingly ladylike riot, he was in
formed that Alderman Myers had just
told parlor story to the perfect ladies
of the Tuesday Evening Club. The
commotion was so great that it dis
turbed his sleep somewhat, and parti-
ally arousing he heard someone read
ing election returns, Maxwell 1874,
Wagner ia" and he cried out, Don't
wake me, let me dream on forever"
1t is such dreams that for several
years have been nightmares for

ELECTORAL LAW PASSED.
italian Senate Votes to Assure
Control by Winning Party.

ROME, November 15.-The senate
has passed the new italian electoral
law. The vote was 165 to II. The
bill was passed at the last session
Of the chamber of deputies.
Premier Mussolini In transmitting
to the senate his report on the elec-
toral law as passed by the chamber
pointed out that under the present
electoral system parliament was di-
vided into too many groups, which
did not permit any government to
remain stable. He said the bill would
assure the stability of government by
allotting to the victorious party at
the polls two-thirds majority in
the chamber. Another advantage
would be that the country as a whole
would decide on the apportioning of
deputies. whereas under the old sys-
tenn representation was by regions.
"The new law" the premier de-
clared. determines with certainty
that the party dominant at the polls
will be intrusted with the goyarn-
ment of the country"

TERRITORIAL RULE
ASKED IN manila
American Chamber Of Com

New Mission Due Here.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MANILA, November 15.-The Amer
lean Chamber of Commerce adopted
resolution calling on Congress to re-
woke the Jones law, the organic act
establishing the Philippines as an or
ganized territory of the united
States.
The resolution asks that congress
proclaim in the act the permanencY
of the Philippines as such an organ
ized territory under the sovereignty
of the United States.
Coincident with the action of the
chamber Of commerce, Manuel Roxas,
former speaker of the insular house
of representatives, accompanied by
corps Of technical advisers. sailed for
the United States on the President
Madison to lay before President Cool
idge and Congress another demand
for independence of the Philippines
and to explain in detail the Filipinos'
side of the controversy with Gov. Gen:
Leonard Wood over the question OF
his authority here.
Mission Coming Here.
Roxas and his advisers are acting
under the auspices of the Philippine
independence commission. which last
year sent mission TO washington
headed by Manuel Quezon and Sergio
Osmena, then president of the senate
and speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives, respectively, to lay re-
quest for independence before Presi-
dent Harding.
Five advisers are accompanying
Roxas. Among them is j. {. De
Neyra. former Philippine resident
commissioner in Washington.
Speaking at a luncheon In his honor
just before departing, Roxas said he
is going to tell the American people
that Filipinos could no, longer sub
nit to the militaristic government
now prevailing In the Philippines"
Cause of Troubles.
Speaking before the senate today.
President Quezon said that the trou-
I. bles among the Moros of Mindanao
are the outcome of an administra-
tion which rules that Fflipinos can
, not bear a larger portion of response
bility in their government than they
now have and that the United States
, will remain here to the last"
President QueZon said: Gov. Gen.
, Wood blames the Christian Filipinos;
he blames the SCHOOLS and he blames
. everything. But an Intelligent world
will blame him in the final outcome,
for in two years he has destroyed
the order that has been successful
]y built up in eight years. If he
! wants to blame us he ought to give
us full responsibility"
