Dealers liable for tax must make
monthly reports, not later than the

Section Transformed Into Library
That Would Have Gone to Waste
Under Plants of Architest.
One of the big: jobs connected with
the removal of state offices into the
new capitol is thnt of transferring
the 140.000 books in the state library
which is in charge of H. C. Lindsay,
state librarian. As the original plans
were drawn, the only place for the
library was a room lf5 feet long v.'iih
but a twelve foot ctiling. Whatever
books could not be gotten into this
space were to go into the tower.
Mr. Lindsey made a long and de

was able tc trr.nsfer his vision to the.

RELAXING QF RULING

Washington Sees Merit in Vice Presi
dent Dawes' Proposal to Put a
Limit on Long Speeches
Washington, April 6. Vice Presi
dent Dawes' spectacular attack on
one-man marathon talking events in
the senate, and the more recent eighth
hour speech of Senator Copcland of
New York against'-the Isle oi Pines
treaty, has led capital attaches to
dig up noted instances of lengthy
senatorial addresses.
The unofficial record is held by
Senator La Follette of Wisconsin.
Speaking on a currency measure, on
May 29. 190S. he held the tlccr for
eighteen hours and t'.veuty minutes.
A fifteen-hour speech is credited to
Senator Falkner cf WestVirginia, cr.

The elapsed time counted as tbe
measure of a senate epech is not

The strict rule is that in order to
keep the floor a senator must speak
from his desk and remain standing,
but various presiding officers have
countenanced a liberal interpretation
of this and permitted senators to
walk about the chamber cr rest on
the arms of their chairs.
Sfnator Copeland, when he fceM
the Haor for e!ght hours, recently
drank in the course of his ?peech
two glasses cf milk, in which eggs
