There probably is no person In Topeka who would not appreciate a gift of a diamond, because as an ornament it has no superior and under the present conditions from an investment standpoint It has no equal.

A $50 diamond purchased five years ago is worth approximately $100.00 today. and a stone purchased at $100.00 today in all probability can not be purchased under $200.00 five years from now.

Was Given Overwhelming Majority. REORGANIZE CIVIC CLUB To Work for Adoption of the New System.

Friends of Topeka Plan Increasing. Since the special election held Des Moines, Iowa, Thursday, when the people of that city voted to adopt the commission system of municipal governmentfcby a vote of 6,376 to 4,087, a renewed Interest has been taken in the matter of putting the question to a vote in Topeka. It known that the people of Topeka are tired of the old ward system; with its lax- business methods, and they want to try the commission plan. This was made evident last year when the matter was generally discussed preparatory to asking the Legislature to pass the enabling act. The ease with which the plan waf adopted in Des Moines is evidence that it can be adopted in Topeka.

The conditions are similar and the cities are mucl alike. There was no howl In Des Moines about corruption in city government the cry was that the ward system was out of date and that the people did not ge' returns for the money they paid as taxes because of the lack of business system. The fact that last Sunday in all of the churches, or most of them, in De: Moines, sermons were preached with regard to municipal government, shows hov much Interest was taken in the mattei by the right class of people. The Civic League was for it, and the Women's Federation of Clubs was In favor of it, and-so were the newspapers. The peopU who opposed It were ward politicians and some contractors who were very influential.

Governor Cummins was in favor the commission plan. "I think we should take steps to get the matter before the people of Topeka this fall." said Councilman Howe, who is one of the men decidedly in favor of th adoption of the commission plan and whi is in a position to know whether or not it is needed. "I am pleased with the re suit of the election in Des Moines, as 1 shows that the people of the North, as well as the people In Texas, approve of the plan. The issues in Des Moines wen not the same as those In some of the Texas cities, but are similar to the issues which would be brought forwarc here. "I think that a civic club should be organized soon and steps taken to brim the matter before the people so that the: can become acquainted with the com mission plan.

They must be told about it. The club could decide upon what would be the proper method of proceed ing." Mayor Green is also In favor of taking immediate steps to bring the questioi before the people. He thinks there wil1 be no question about the adoption of th commission system In Topeka after the question has been discussed. "We should begin at once to arrange for a campaign this summer and should hold the election this fall." he said. "Th people took a great deal of Interest lithe matter last summer When it wa under discussion and it will take bu little to arouse this interest again.

"I am convinced from my experlenc in the city council and as mayor that the commission system would be of benefit to the city of Topeka. and the longe-I serve the city the more firmly convinced I am that we should adopt it. I is the business way. and the only way to run the affairs of the city as the-should be. We should not allow the matter- to drop now, but should mish it alonjy.

We shonH do as well as did the people in Des Moines." Ex-Mayor Burgundthal is In favor o-taking immediate steps to push the ado-tion of the commission svstem. Wf should keep things prolng from now unt' fall, when th question should be voted unnn." he said. "I am satisfied that I will be adopted bv the voters of Tnpek? it Is so plalnlv the best thlnr 1 do. The olan has worked siicrssfull" whre it has been tried, and It doe not realiv -neel a tr'i'. beeau it simnlv the affairs -of the r.i-v jts the affp'r big corporation should be erducto.

nni rend at anv time take rff tv coat nnd rht can fo dnpHi of the comrnlssion nlan." There will he a meetinsr of those In Because the Income of the city is said to be Insufficient to pay for electric lights and other needed improvements, members of thi- il and business men are talking cf an occupation tax. ar.fi a vehicle tax. Either one or both may le advocated in the council after the levy for the next year has been determined. Mayor Green has favored an occupation tax for some but he has not mentioned the matter in council meeting since he was elected mayor. It is understood that the matter has been talked over by a number of the members of the council and some of them favor either an occupation tax or a vehicle tax.

When Mr. Hergundlnal was mayor he advocated the vehicle tax and still contends that it is the most equitable tax that can be levied. He says that the fund collected from the vehicle tax should be set aside for the street department and this would allow some of the funds now set aside for that department to be used in other deportments where it -is most needed. The theory is that the persons paying a vehicle tux are the ones who use the paved streets and so are the proper persons to pay the cost of keeninp: the streets in repair. I have not thought a great deal about an occupation said Councilman Jordan, I think it would be all right.

It would bring in revenue and that is what the city is looking for right now. I think a reasonable occupation tax would be all right but it would be hard to adjust one so that it would be perfectly fair." Mayor Green said that the matter had been discussed but that nothing definite had been determined upon. "We should 1iave more revenue and we can not get It for general revenue by increasing the levy because the levy is now at the limit." "I think the income from an occupation tax, if levied all." said Councilman Howe, "should be applied to the street lighting fund. If some provision could be made by --the money raised by an occupation tax, or so much thereof as would be necessary, should be set aside for the street lighting, the scheme might be a good one and help the city out of its present financial difficulties." "An occupation tax will meet with opposition if it is to be assessed against both the professional men' and the business men," remarked an attorney. "There are a number of birsiness men who are now paying heavy taxes and they think they are payinsc enough.

Then there are a lot of professional men who are not miking much money and assess one professional man who is making a bare living as much as another professional 9 25c Today for Boys' Madias and Black Sateen' Shirts, collar at tached, 12 to 14 neck. 50c 18c 39c 45c Today for Boys' Straw Hats-Telescope and SaQor styles.

"There are no modern houses to be had close In." said cne well known real estate man. "We have very few bouses of any kind on our lists. This Is a remarkable condition when one considers tha great amount of building that has been done in Topeka during the last year." "Our rental list is not as large as tt was a year ago." said another real estate man.

"it is hard to find any modem houses that are vacant." The only explanation given for this re markable condition, and one which seem very probable, is that there has been a big Increase in Topeka's population during the year that has kept pace with tha number of new houses that havt been built. FREE DISPENSARY IN NEW LOCATION Department of Kansas Medical Col lego Now at 209 Kansas Avenue. The free dispensary of the Kansas Med-leal College, which has been located at 204 Monroe street for the past two years, has been moved to 209 Kansas avenue, upstairs. It will be opened in the new location today, when charity caaes will be given medical cases at this place Instead of at the Monroe street The latter looation will be given up. The entire second floor at 20 Kansas avenue will be occupied by tho dispensary and it has been remodeled to adapt it to its new use.

Two lecture rooms have been partitioned off in ths front part of the building. Behind these is a clinic reception room and opening from, this are three treatment rooms. The other rooms are used for a waan room and a dispensary and compounding room. Beginning next fall, most of the work in the last two years of the medicut college course will be done at the dispensary, and the lecture rooms have been' provided for the accommodation of these classes. Much of the work during tha last half of the course is clinical.

The laboratory work of the junior and senior years will continue to be done at tha Medical College at the corner of Twelfth and Tyler streets, where all the work of the freshman and sophomore years will bs-conducted. as in the past. The new arrangement will be a great convenience for the members ot the Junior and senior classes and for the physicians who lecture to these classes. The students during the past two years, since th dispensary hss bem located outsid of the medical college building have had to take their lecture work at the medical college and then go about twenty blocoks to tne dispensary. The dispensary, weing down town, is more conveniently located for the members of the medical staff.

1 Phone 190 121 West 6th St. Washburn's Fate to Be Decided Soon. Committee Fears Over-confidence. MUCH MUST YET BE DONE Big Meeting at Copeland This Noon. Women Will Work This Afternoon.

Friends of Washburn College who have devoted their time and energies to a financial campaign for that Institution, the last few weeks, so unselfishly, are so licitous lest the people of Topeka become over-confident and fail to make the necessary responses during this week. It is the last week and there is yet much to he done. It is the earnest desire of thosj in charge of the canvass that nothing be left undone to secure the necessary 000. Upon the raising of that sum in To peka depends to a great extent the future of the Institution. Members of the committee reneat that there must be the most hearty co-opera tion on tne part of all of Topeka both in the matter of work and of gift to the college.

If the impression should go out that the fund has been raised or so nearly secured that it will come anyhow, tnat would be a great mistake. The hard est week of the many devoted to this campaign is at hand. This is because the resources of the committee are bo nearly exnausted. livery week or this canvass has helped to reduce the number of people available for pledges. With $14,000 still to raise it is the feeling that the situation requires all possible co-operation on the part of those who have the interest of the fund and of the college at heart.

It is felt that over-confidence now would be a sad mistake. Fourteen thousand dol lars is a large sum of money to raise on top of what has been done. The committee members know of no intended gifts. pledge made up to this time has been reported. It has been the inflexible rule of the committee members to report upon signatures, alone, and no signatures are held except such as have been given to the daily newspapers.

Besides-, the J14.Q00 necessary to make up the $73,000, it must be recalled that a'-lowance must be made for deficits. On subscriptions running two years the de ficit due to failures to redeem subscriptions may be large, owing to removals. deaths, business reverses and the like. Some think that this may amount to as much as 10 per cent. If so, then about $83,000 in pledges should be secured.

This is the more desirable, as the Eastern gifts are to be paid proportionately to the amounts paid on the Topeka subscrip tions at the end of each six months, and eventually at the end of two years. There need be no fear that too much money will be raised. In order that the best results may be accomplished, the general committee has asked the following to meet them at the Copeland' hotel at 12:30 o'clock today: M. L. Zercher, W.

Probably the reason the mayor did not "can" the policemen who canned the dog is because the administration is at t. reseat trying to get rid of both can and dogs, and the act of the police was considered to be in harmony with the present policy. the heel and irtstep 1- man who makes several thousand dollars a year does not seem equitable. "The really fair way to raise money would be to make a vehicle tax. This tax would apply only to people who use the streets and they.

should pay for the wearing out of the streets. There are men who never ride In a carriage, wagon, automobile or on a bicycle who have to pay much more than do persons who are using the streets every (lay. So far as I am concerned I would be willing to pay either if we could get good street lights." City Attorney Drenning said that while he was not an enthusiast he thought the occupation tax would be all right and that he would not complain if a small tax was levied on the attorneys, i doctors, dentists, real estate men and 1 others. "The tax would be legal," he said, "and if the council wants to make it I can see no objection." OBIl'UAfiY. Funeral services over the body of the late Louis M.

DESPITE MANY NEW RENTAL Real estate men say that In spite of the remarkable amount of building that has been done in Topeka during the past year, rental houses are no more plentiful than they were a year or more ago. A drive through the outer parts of Topeka reveals dozens of new houses that have been built during the past year or two and one would naturally suppose that as a result of this Increase in the number of houses, the rental lists of the real estate men would be crowded with tenantless properties. But such is not tne case, ew moaern houses are to be found on the real estate men's lists and not a great number or older properties, which are naturally less desirable.
