RADICAL anti1railroad legislation proposed by
IL Senator Brookhart of Iowa is intended to be
the prelude to a government ownership campaign

The Brookhart bill would repeal the transporta.

the railroads Of the United States from 10 to II
billion dollars, or 7 billions less than value estab-

Presidents Born in Winter

Did you ever stop to think that
most OF our Presidents were born in
winter? The most suspicious time of
year for the birthdays of Presidents
is between October 4 and April 2S.
Only three Presidents out of the total
Of twenty-eight have been born out
side that cool weather period. and
two of those. John Quincy Adams
and Benjamin Harrison. descended
from Presidential families.
II YOU were born in May or June
and get to be President, you'll be
doing something no one else ever
managed to do. Taft was tho only
man not of n Presidential family who
ever celebrated his birthday in May,
June. July, August or September. He
was born on September Is. The only
two real summer Presidents were
Benjamin Harrison, with a birthday
on August 20. and John Quincy
Adams, who was a July IL baby.
Console yourself if o have a sum

Of the great poets have been born in
May than in any other month and
that great painters and explorers,

KLUX NOTE
is RECEIVED
Charles Wright Is Jailed For
Carrying Revolver

Charles Wright, local colorcd man,
received a Ku Klux Klan note, which
led him into much trouble.
Wright who lives at 507 18th street
found note replete with mispelled
words and in scrawling hand on
front door night before last. 1t
bristled with warnings of TX. X. K"
and told him to leave town. 1t de-
clared that the parties were tired
of the "goings on" in the Wright
house.
Charles Immediately reported the
matter to the police, who investigat-
ed and who concluded from the very
nature of the note that it wasn't
written by desperate characters.
Charles put up a note in front of his
house in return, inviting whoever
wrote the note to meet him like a
man and the loser take the conse-
quences. No one appeared.
Last night Charles was armed with
big revolver as protection he said.
He was arrested on a charge of
carrying concealed weapons, taken
before Justice Of the Peace Anton
Beer and sent to Jail in default of a
$500 bond while awaiting prelimin-
ary hearing.
Police expect to have the names
of the writers Of the note today, and
action probably will follow.

REDUCE AUTO
ALLOWANCE
State Auditing Board Says
Its Cheaper to Travel Now

The state auditing board has re-
duced the maximum allowance for
automobile hire by state officials
and employees while travelling in that
manner from Is to 10 cents a mile,
according to notice. transmitted
by State Auditor D. G. Poindexter
to department heads. The notice
reads: tsj
"Please be advised that on and
after January I, 1924, the state aud
iting board will not allow claims for
automobile mileage which are in ex-
cess Of ten cents per mile. This ap-
plies to all privately owned cars
which are used by state officials
and employees on the states business.
This action was taken after a care
full investigation of the rates allow
ed by adjoining states and by private
business concerns. With the pres
ent low prices of both cars and gas
oline, the board feels that this
amount will cover all costs of oper-
alton and leave safe margin for
depreciation"
The action was taken after Auditor
Poindexter made an investigation
and recommended the decrease to the
board.

increase in the price pf gasoline
effective tomorrow was announced
today by the Standard Oil Com

The increase Us announced was

is "a differential Of 2 cents gallon
between the tank wagon price and
the service station charge through
out the 10 cents served by the
Standard Oil Company Of Indiana.
Recent increases i'm the price OF
crude oil were responsible for the
Standards decision to advance the
price Of gasoline, it was under

At the time OF price slashing

cutting gasoline prices deeply at
state oil depots. the Standard Oil
Company OF Indiana made equiva-

DELEGATES TO
FILE MAR. 1
Plenty of Time for Pres
idential Delegates to Get
Into Action

Candidates for positions of dele
gates to the Republican and Demo-
cratic National Conventions will have
until March to file petitions to get
their names on the ballot in the
primary of March 18, 1924, under the
laws governing the election. The
Republican delegation will be boost
ed to 13 next year, under the new
apportionment, while the Democrat
ic delegation will remain at 10. Five
hundred signers are necessary to
petitions to get the names on the
ballot.
Candidates for president need not
file petitions themselves. Five hum
dred persons may enter the name
of any candidate for the party dele
gate support in this state, and dele
gates elected are bound by the pri-
mary result.
In addition, in the March 18 pri-,
mary, national committeeman of the
Republican and Democratic parties
will be selected. Presumably there
will be no committeeman elected by
the Nonpartisan League, for while
it is held by some to have attained
party status it is not now affiliated

Washington, Dec. 2s.-The cost of
living was one-ffth less in Septem-
Der this year than it was in June.
1920, when the highest point of liv-
ing costs since 1913 was reached. A
decrease of 20. s per cent in the total
cost Of living in the United States
as determined by consolidation Of
the figures for 32>specified cities, is

Th cost of living, however, was
almost three-quarters more than
the 1913 average, September cost
showing 72.1 per cent increase
over the prewar average. In Septem-
ber year ago, costs were 66.3 per
cent above the 1918 average, and at
their lowest point since December,
1917, but December last year, showed
an increase. There was a slight de-
crease according to March, 1923, fig-l
ures, but since that time, living
costs have been rising slightly.

1t was rumored recently that the

since it is maintained by specific

failed.

The receipt Of a telegram from the

ing on receipt of reports that the
balloon had been floating helplessly
over the Sahara desert.
The Rome advices convinced the
officials there could be no possible
doubt as to the identity Of the body
picked up as Lieut. Grenadan had an
Identification on his wrist.
Italian fishermen hauling in thei,
nets at the end Of theire days task
last evening brought the body to the
surface.
The fact that no vestigc of wreck
age or other bodies of the airship's
crew were found caused the ministr,
Of marine to refrain from abandon
