A REFORM MOVE
'President Pleased With Plan Of Hewing Conference Next
January for Uniform Legis lation. STATES GOVERNORS
URGED TO BE PRESENT
Chief Executive Will Not Countenance Legislation Which The Supreme Court Likely Knock Out.
Washington, D. C, June 19. Presi
dent Taft Is manifesting a deep interest in the project to hold in Washington, next January a national conference on uniform legislation. He hopes that as many governors ; of states as can leave their capitals will come to Washington for the purpose of conferring with each other and with him I In connection with the adoption of ' model laws for the country. The president has no wish to have i the federal government infringe on J the rights cf states. He holds there )ls a line where , the power and duties
of the one bsgin. and the other ends. His respect for the constitution is Well known, and he has demonstrated it in various ways since he has been in the White house, and particularly by
his decision to secure the cooDeratlon
of the states in the passage of legislative reforms' which win make for Ithe advantage of the people. , Mr. Taft will not countenance any (legislation which stands a chancebf jbeing knocked out by the Supreme court His action in respect to the llncome tax proposition is an excellent example of the attitude he has assumed. Being in this frame of mind, the listened with especial interest sevral days : ago ; to the request of a committee of the civic federation that he approve and participate in a national conference on uniform legislation. . 8tatesAre Slow to Respond. President' Roosevelt and Mr. Taft, :when the latter was secretary of war, 'frequently discussed the : need of uniform legislation, and both were agreed ns to the advisability of enacting laws 'for - the District of Columbia which f should be models for the states. Un- ' der the Roosevelt administration various laws in this J connection were enacted. Up fortunately the states have failed to reswrod wUh the alacrity that wps nnt!ci:iaterl. Local conditions wero roafMislMe. 'or legislation different from. that.'ir."fcrc9ior proposed for the .District rf Hihimbia. It is evident to President Taft that the mere fact that a law is on the statute books cf the district and that the repres3ntatve3 in congress of a certain state voed for it. doe3 not mean tha t the Jegislature'of that state will enact the same measure wihout modification. But if public interest be created in the state through v the visIt of its governor to Washington, the chances are better for the uniform legislation sought. ' The civic federation proposes as subjects for discussion! the regulation of corporations and railroads, -pure food laws, marriage and divorce, child labor. Industrial insurance, and the
conservation of natural , resources. There is no doubt, of course, that effective regulation of state corporations wouM bring about a more satisfactory supervision of these enter
prises engaged In Interstate commerce which to a limited extent Is possessed by the federal : government - through the inquisitorial powers of the' bureau
of corporations and the authority en-
Joyed by the department of justice Must Work Along Federal Lines. The interstate commerce commission has long dreamed of state rail
road commissions working under the same ' general scheme and - bringing
about that uniformity of regulation
which is desirable both in the interest
of the public and the railroads. With reference to pure food, it la realized
by the department of agriculture that
in order that the people may enjoy unadulterated food and drink and drugs It is highly desirable that the states shall have legislation along the lines of federal laws relating to this subject. In the case of the meat inspection law the department of Agriculture confesses that it has limitations, owing to the ease with which meat and animals ; rejected i by federal authorities as unfit for interstate commerce may be sold with the state where federal condemnation has occurred. Almost half of the meat suppl y of the country is not subject to federal inspection and In few states or cities is there an efficient local inspection. Revolting and Insanitary conditions have been found In many local abattoirs and shops, but federal inspectors are powerless to remedy the situation. Moreover, preservatives are frequently found in meats prepared by local butchers. - The health of the people demandn that the states change this situation and enact legislation along the lines of the federal inspection" laws. Powerless in Divorce Evil. Congress has confessed its inability
to deal '' with ; the. marriage and divorce , problem and with child labor. For the, purpose of creating a public
opinion that would lead to action by the states the , census, bureau took a complete census of marriage and divorce in this country." The , report of the bureau showed that one marriage
out of every thirteen was a failure, and that during the Jast twenty years
there had been a steady increase in
the ratio. -
In the interest of the continuance
and progress of the republic it is imperative that there should be effect
ive regulation of marriage and divorce, and President Taft proposes to use all the means at his disposal, which is, unfortunately, meagre, to obtain it. With reference to child labor, the commissioner of labor has been ( gathering a great deal of information supplementary to that which has been published, and it will be useful In a campaign for a uniform state law. With regard to industrial insurance, that, too, is a matter for the states, and for this reason there Is no likelihood that it will receive any consideration from congress. The bureau of forestry is deeply interested' in the proposal to discuss the conservation of natural resources.

Coffee's Wslght on Old Age.
WTr -niinent men realize the In)Jurloi" .'facts of coffee and the ehan?r health that Postum can brine, they are glad to lend their testimony fcr the benefit of others. A superintendent of public schools In one of the southern states says: "My mother, since her early childhood, was an inveterate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complained of 'that 'weak all over feeling and sick stomach. , ''Some time ago I was making an official visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. : ! noticed somewhat peculiar flavour of the coffee, and ;' asked him concerning it He replied that it was Postum. "I was so pleased with it. that after the meal was over. I bought a package to carry "home with me. and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family were so well pleased with it, that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. . T had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's condition, but we noticed that after using Postum tor a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to Its use, and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent; and her, general condition much Improved. This continued until she was as well and hearty as the rest of us. "I know Postum hns benefited my
self ana tne other members of the family, hut not In so marked a degree a In the case of my mother, as she was a victim of Ion standing." Read Tha Road to Wettrttle,- In ( pkgs. There's a Reason." ' Cver read the above letter? A new

Payette county is to try a novel scheme for making assessments by the board of review. The board has asked the city council to have a record of building permits kept. From this rec
ord the board and assessors will be
helped in obtaining a list of additional improvements made during the year.
It often happens a room is added to a
house or other improvements are made and the , while building is repainted. The assessor then does not know any change has been made, unless he chanced to have seen it. The board of review believes a record of the permits would help in such cases. A record of , building : permits has been kept in this city for many years. But the board of review and assessors have not seen fit to try to obtain a line on the additional Improvements by looking over the records. It appears as a good scheme and one quite practical. Buildings may he remodeled and their value increased greatly, but the change escapes the notice of the assessors because of the lack of a striking change In outside appearance.

Some time ago it was charged that
the increased price of commodities
necessary in the home was due to tne fancy price set by the retailers, because of a combination which enabled them to fleece the consumer on all
sides, but subsequent inquiry has established that fact that the retailers.
instead of being combined to boost
prices, are the victims of the manufacturers, too fully protected, and that

GREAT DAY FOR AUTOISTS
The woods for many miles around the city yesterday teemed with Richmond picnickers. The day was ideal for picnics and the woods are in their best condition. The grass and foliage are green and the sun. has been unable to . Injure them, because of the frequent rains. There was practically no dust. The streams are in good condition for fishing and of course the swimming holes are perfect. The automobilists had a day of great delight. Hundreds of machines were speeding about on the highways. The , man with the scary horse had oo place on the roads. Many local machine owners were to be found at Indianapolis, Dayton and Cincinnati. :

since they cured me of kidney trouble;
In 1906. In July that year I gave a statement i for publication endorsing this remedy and at the present time I do not wish to withdraw anything I then eaid. Railroading is very hard on the kidneys and my case was no exception to the rule, as I suffered from kidney complaint for some time. The passages of the kidney secretions were irregular and painful and I often felt dizzy and weak. Being advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a box at A. G. Luken & Co's drug store and their use brought prompt relief. In a short time I was entirely free from the trouble and since then, whenever I have heard anyone complaining of bach ache or disordered kidneys, I have advised him to give Doan's Kidney Pills a triaL" For sale by all dealers.

.The New Phillips. It is quite Interesting to vaudeville
lovers to note that the Phillips has a
bill which the management claims with a guarantee to contain enough action and originality to please all classes. The action speaks first and the originality is running a close second. The Otora Troupe of acrobats, after years of experience, are certainly showing the public that there still is "shreds of joy" in gymnastics as there was when, the turn was first originated. ; Miss Gladys Marion Hill, as the gypsy girl violinist, has an art about her that she alone possesses. And Henning and More lie are takers from the start. The bill is worth the while.

When Bathing Was Rar. In some old English court memoirs of the eighteenth century it Is stated that when George IV. was a baby be was ; bathed . only once - a fortnight. That was thought to be plenty often enough in those days for a child to be reeked- When os of George's little sisters had measles the royal mother gave most careful instructions that the child's linen was not to be changed too soon, as she feared that some careless attendant would dsthe ft in garments y: Insufficiently aired H and J so Vrtvo in the rash." In those days people were mach afraid of clean linen and batatas. It was believed the complete bodily abtvtlooa were weakening, yet prtnee. peer and peasant alike called In at every ailment the

the fierce competition due to higher prices has wrought havoc In the retail trade. Consequently, when Senator Beveridge showed . that the American retailer. Is compelled to pay a great deal more for his cash register than his brother across the sea is compelled to pay, the same sympathy went out to him as went out. to the farmer when it was learned that the harvester trust amply protected, sells Its Chicago-made farm machinery in Australia at a lower, price than Is charged the farmer, who lives within one hundred miles of the factory. :'"K:.'i''-Has Coma to Stay. ; The cash register business has come to stay. ' Few retailers, attempt, nowadays, to get along without one. It Is a fixture that forms an important part in the modern retail store's working machinery.' It guards against the dishonest employe and keeps its own record of sales more accurately than a skilled bookkeeper could keep them. Thousands and thousands of the registers have been sold in the state In the past few years, far in excess of the number of self-binders sold, and the harvest of the cash register trust has swept thousands of dollars from the tills of the merchants, the very tills they were designed to protect. ; Had It Lewersd. Sir Augustus Harris once settled the pitch question In his own offhand fashion.
