All of tho trees wero planted at tho per sonal expense of householdorri. Tho roformors hud n city ordinance passed by tho City Council forbidding tho planting of treos without a porralt which tho citizen would havo to go to tho City Hall and pay for. Tho treo ownor is also prohibited by this ordi nance from trimming or spraying his treos without paying for a City Hall permit. Honco In tho nanio of graft and roform, city trees nro dying off. A dofunct dally nowapapor that was do voted to dolly reforms and that died of overwork In this direction was re sponsible for this outrageous ordl nanco on account of Its Influence with feoblo minded nhlormon. OF THE TEETH An Alderman Proposes a Fitting Symbol for the Department of Public Service, A well known nldermnn suggosts that a double sot of teeth, similar to somo Hnlstcd street dentist dgns bu adopted nn a symbol for tho Chicago Department of Public Service Tho alderman does not day whothor the teeth nro to bo used on puhllo utilities or on tho public It self. NATIONAL SCHOOL OF MULTIGRAPHING A BUSINESS NECESSITY Tho National School of Multlgraph Ing, at 1103 Lytton Building, is of great value to tho business commu nity. Tho service that it glvos savos hundreds of thousands of dollars to firms and Individuals who use multi graphing In tholr business. And tho number who use multlgraphlng is con stantly on tho Increase. adv. diaries 13 Tlmroth, tho popular prosidont of tho Tlmroth Trucking Co. would mako a good County Commis sioner. Ills nomination would mean his election, Measure May Be Disposed of This Week by Con-Con. ABOLISH NONPARTISAN PLAN Proposition Recommended by the Suf. frage , Committee Would Affect Chicago Sharp Difference of Opinion on Pensions. Springfield. Tho need or n short ballot mis niie of the iirguinents most friMiut'iitly uved for culling the consti tutional convention, ltni that subject has nut recently been talked much. A MilTriigL section likely to ho voted on this week will lengthen the Imltot by reducing the number of elections to one 11 cnr. That will be hold on 11 holiday In Xo ember imminll.v, mid "elections Mmll not be held on any other day" unles the constitution Is changed or congress decrees othcrwl.se. If this Hiicceeils, iM'ohnbly certain delegates will argue later that tho need for it short ballot has been reduced materially, If not eliminated. Dele gatts nlreiidy lime hinted that the chief complaint now Is against the number of elections mid consequent cost rather than the number of names on thu ballot. There will be four elections downstate this month and seven within the llrst half of this year. The ngeucy which collects Informa tion for the conxentluii has reported that the "dllllcullle.s nnd objections arising fiotn the large blanket ballot In Illinois are more serious In Chicago mid Cook county than In other parts of Illinois, on account of the greater complexllj of local government and tho larger number of elective olllecs In the uictropnlliun communlt.x. Itut even In other pails of the slate the problem of Intelligent wiling at the November elections Is puzzling to the ablest voter. Outside of Chicago Ihe illlllcultles caused by the number of separate local elections are greater than In Chicago." The plan recommended by the snf frage coininltlee will abolish the non partisan election scheme In Chicago for ahlermeii and all primaries, accoid Ing lo constitutional experts. vThe legislative reference bureau has told the convent Ion that there are "twleo as many vtnle and local oilleluls to be elected ill Chicago urn! Cook county as In other counties." adding that, "omitting Judges and local "Ul cers elected nt other times, the voters throughout Illinois are called upon nt the quadrennial November election to wdo for about twenty stale anil local olllcers and. In addition, 2i presidential electors, u total of about llfty. The ballot at these elections regularly has tho nniuc!) of 100 to IfiO candidates for state nnd local olllce.s and. when can dhlates for presidential electors are added, from 'J00 to H.'-O names. A tjplcnl ballot for a dnwnsinto district In 11)10 contained tho names of '-'1 candidates for -ID olllecs." On what action the constitutional convention shnll lake on pensions there Is n sharp difference of opinion In tho legislative committee. One side, most of whom are Interested In politics, de sires a simple authorization of pen sions; tho other side, most of whom nto Interested In business, want 11 man datory plan that will compel a solxent pension system. Three subcommittee reports havo been prepared, but none of them has been accepted. Tho employees want tho constitution to recognize it contraetural relation ship botwenn tho employee and his stato or city regarding pensions. There are moro than 77,000 employees. There Is an estimated deficiency of $70,000,000 In tho pension funds of tho stnte ut present; the raising of that will largely fall on the taxpayers. Other subcommittees of tho legisla tive committee have prepared reports, which appear more acceptnblo to tho entire membership. One of these will ll- the salary of a legislator for the next session after tho adoption of the now coiislltutlon at S.'l.fiOO a year. This Is heaping coals of lire on tho legisla ture, which decided that constitution milkers wero only worth $2,000 each. Another subcommittee will recom mend Unit niiu'iidlug Inws by referenco be prohibited, and still another sub committee will recommend that state lawh become elTeellvo 00 days after Html adjournment of the legislature Instead of 011 duly 1, arter the acts nro passed as at present. In the closing session of 11 two-dnys convention held at Illoomlngton of thn Illinois .Society of Gideons, composed of commercial trawlers who are church members, a resolution wns adopted petitioning the constitutional convention to Include a clause making reading of tho Ullilo obligatory In the schools of Illinois. Hold Act Unwarranted The supreme couit holds that the Flfty-llrst Illinois general assembly wus' "unwarranted" In tanking an ni proprlutlon of $10,000 for the Imcstl gatlon of Zlon City, thus reversing n former decision In which It was hold that the leglslatuio was acting within Its rights In making the appropriation. Tho appropriation wn attacked In a bill filed In the Saiigauiou circuit court by W. K. Greenlleld of Chicago Tho court held that such an Invest Iga tlon h Judicial ami cannot proporH In conducted by an iis-embl committee. Albert J. Hopkins, who made one of the best United States senators Illinois ovor had, would make a great governor. Cbarles H. Lamson is one of Chi cago's greatest paving exports. Lawrenco P.
