There were no appeals or com-
platatB"tocormr beforethtTffiWi
ing. Reports were heard from
the pastor on Leagues, Sunday
Schools, Pastoral Instruction df
the Children,' and on Missions'.
A report was also .road from the
Ladies Home Mission Society.
While an optimistic note was
heard from every quarter, and
much progress was noted along
every lino, and the Ladies Socie
ty was Tcommended very highly
for the character of the work be
ing done by that body, yet it
was announced that the church

possibilities. More personal
work, both by the pastor and
people, was refcomended; and a
nocd of a more decidod loyalty to
the church and its ministry was
riiontiondd. A report was also
heard frdm the board of Trustees
relative to the conditions of the
church and parsonage property

Graft Laws
Aplenty
Joker Laws Abound "in
Proposed Ammend
ments THREE PROPOSITIONS? TO
UNLOAD UPON THE TAX
PAYER This in the period of the year
when the incubator ofr"' now
schemes to unload upon the tax
payer is " orking overtime. At
least three such propositions arc
being got in shape To being be
forethe legislature.
One of these is the Garib free
employment bureau 'and coffee
house combined. It promoter'
estimates it would cat $300U to
set up one in each city and town,
the expense to be shaced by th
municipality, the county and tht
state.
Fifty of these establishment
would cost the taxpayer $150,00C
then whatever employment' was
giv.en would be paid by the em
ployor. Tho $150,000 would not
be expended in employing laboi
-Thd exnondiltire would no&
stop with that sum if these insti
tutions are once established
All such functions in . the name
o'f the state oneo organized grow
and their expense increases from
year to year.
A state ratcatehhlg campaign
has been inaugerated. Rat sur'
veys arc being made. The state
food commissioner is askinir for
legislation to exterminate rats.
That means a state Rat Catcher
or Rat Commissioner.
The third proposition to be
sprung on the legislature is the
oration of the office of County
Advisor an expert to give ad
vice to all county officials about
the duties of their offices.
This is now the duty of the
county attorney rind, the attot
ney General of the state. But
the County Advisor would be
giving advice about office dutiei
and business matters.
The legislaiinis blamed for
many foolish laWiand now bur
den laid upon' the taxpayer, which
really are organized and put ov
er from the outside by those in
terested in the proposed grafts.
