The Commercial Club recently asked farmers of the county if . there was anything the matter with the city and LONG FIGHT MIGHT ENSUE invited them to make suggestions for bringing the farmers and business men of the city into closer touch. Excerpts from some of the answers are as fol lows: COUNCIL OF 30 OPPOSED 8 tl wc? Tvffi s7 ONCE As Governor's Appointees Hav Xot Been Confirmed and Sir. Hart la Antagonistic, Unfavorable Com mittees Might Be Chosen. OLYMPIA, Wash., May 2. (Special.) A special session of the Washington Legislature looms as a distinct prob ability unless within the next two or three weeks the lower house of Con gress passes the bill providing machin ery for tha direct election of United States Senators. The latest date upon which Governor Lister oould issue writs of election to fill existing vacancies In the Legis lature, preparatory to calling a spe cial session, has been figured at May 15. The time for filing candidacies for 'United States Senatorship opens July 10, and the time that would be re quired for filing vacancies, getting returns and calling the Legislature would leave comparatively little time to be wasted. According to information furnished Governor Lister by Senator Polndex ter, the direct election bill, long ayo passed by the Senate, has been on the House calendar for four successive Wednesdays, but for some reason un known here has not been taken up. Opposition on the part of Southern Democrats, scenting a precedent for National control of state elections that might stir up the neero and states' rights questions, is thought by some to be the reason for the diffidence of the lower house of Congress. Governor Lister has appealed person ally to Speaker Clark in an effort to get action on the bill. An extra session of the Legislature at the present time, it is conceded can. erally, would promise a long-drawn-out political fight. One subject that doubt less would be taken up by the state Senate would be the appointments made by bovernor Lister to all offices. All were recess appointments and ac cordingly have not yet come up for con si Deration. With bad feeling existing between uovernor lister and Lleutenant-Gover nor Hart, on account of Hart's uaurpa tion of appointive power duriner Lis ter's recent absence from the state, an opportunity would be offered Hart to organize tne senate on a basis of fht ing the confirmation of appointments, as he would name committees. The numerous initiative bills that are Deing circulated would afford an- otner excuse for a prolonged session once the Legislature should be called together, which is what the Governor jo attempting to avoid.

A last attempt was made by Doyle and Bolton to submit a new frame work. The majority held to its de termination to submit the form it has prepared, however, and the- protesting members decided to file formal protest with the City Clerk. The body closest to the people under the proposed plan would be the Coun cil of 30 members, chosen by wards. each of the 30 to be paid !50 a month, and his activities to be confined to a large ex.tent to the election of the manager and the "legislative duties. This latter term includes all matters of city policy, such as the anti-dance bill now before the Council; the grant ing of liquor licenses, each of which by state law requires a special ordi nance; the granting of franchises of all sorts and the creation of local lm provement districts. It is believed in actual practice the last named would be the most impor tant duty oi the council. The organ ization of committees would be left to the Council Itself.

McPlke explained tbat there was not enough cash on hand to pay McCreery'a bills and that S16.000 worth of personal property would have to be sold, but he added that from Sep tember 2, 1912, until April 1, 1914.

Three Classen for H taker Institutions SasKMted, Includlns Physlcnl nnd Vocatlonnl Courses. EUGENE, Or.. May 2. (Special.) Physical training and vocational courses for both boys and girls are essential to a hypothetical "standard" high school in Oregon, according to replies to questions sent recently to every high school superintendent or principal in Oregon. A high school inspector is considered a necessity for making possible such a standardization. The "standard" was sought by the State Teachers' Association. which some time ago appointed a committee. Sufficient replies have been received to determine the general opinions held by teachers of the state. These reports will be classified and given to the state educational department. High schools should be divided into three classes, according to the teach ers who have responded. A standard high school should have four years and would rank first class: the school would be second or third class as it had three or two years' work. If a school has more than 30 pupils, it should offer at least three years; if it nas eu pupus. it snouid oner four years" work. No teacher should be obliged to care for more than 30 pupils, according to me oeiiet or tne state teachers. PRESIDENT HELD AUTOCRAT Dr. Wiley Thinks Wilson More Bene flclent Than Predecessors. ASBURT PARK. N. X. April 29. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, one-time chief of the Department of Chemistry at 'Wash ington, made an address before the New Jersey Conference of Charities and Cor rections at its 13th annual session in the Asbury Park Casino. Dr. Wiley spoke on the overlaDDlntr of state and municipal authorities by Federal laws and their effect upon charities and cor rections. He favored general health laws. Dr. Wiley was of opinion that Amer ica was an autocracy. The power of the President in this country, he said, was greater than that possessed by the Czar of Russia. "If you don't believe the President has imperial power," said Dr. Wiley, "go down to Washington and see whether Congress or the President runs things. We have a good autocrat there now, but some of them have not been o good. We have a civil service law, but that doesn't protest anybody to any extent. The law is a fiction.

(This Is a fair tsampl. ) An Investigation into the net cost of Alveolar Teeth will promptly disclose the superiority of the ,ork. The -first cost Is the onlv cost and is lower than that of any other permanent dentistry. And as they generally require no re pairing: or ofher care durinpr lif their maintenance cost is nil. Briefly, the Alveolar method Is this: If you have two or more teeth left In either jaw. we- can supply all that you have lost with teeth as good, solid and sound as the best set of natural teeth ever grown in any human being's mouth, and generally a whole lot more beau tiful than nature's best product, with out resorting to such makeshifts as partial plates and the unsanitarv bridgework. Alveolar Teeth are not only beautiful, but they are comfort able and durable. We guarantee them to last indefinitely, where- the longevity of bridgework is seldom ever longer than five or six years, and generally a good deal less. It is never guaranteed to last by any first-class dentist who in responsible and reliable, because all nrst-ciass aentists win tell you That bridgework at best is doubtful. It is. a painful operation and gives trouble from the time it is put in the mouth until it has to be taken out. In many cases where bridgework is impossible, and all cases where it is possi ble. we can replace your -missing teeth with perfect Alveolar Teeth. The pain inci dent to the work is practically none; the expense is the same as the best bridgework but in satisfaction there Is no comparison between the two. We have samples in our offir to show at all times hundreds of pa tients here In our home city to refer to. Examinations and booklets ou Alveolar dentistry are absolutely free. Remember, that in addition to our specialty. Alveolar dentistry and curing- Pyorrhea (loose teeth, we are ex perts in every branch of dentistry from the simple filling up.
