Change Are Certain
There Is a general feeling In both the
House and Senate that amendments will
be made to the charter bills which will
niter them considerably. Much opposi
tion has developed toward csrtain sec
tions of the bill.
Some of the leaders of the Penrose
faction In Philadelphia are opposing
some of the provisions of the bill be
cause It puts too much additional
power In the hands of the Mayor. The
original purpose, of the charter revision
ists, they contend, was to shear the
Mayor of some of the present power
of Ills office.
It Is 'generally pre dieted that the pro
vision of the bill which would make
the city solicitor appointive by tho
Mayor and that putting the tax receiv
er's department undr the city treasurer
would bo eliminated
Senator Dalt admits that the measure
"must be maele more practical.", If It Is
to get nnywhere. Senator Dal, how-
ever, let It be known that he Is going
to be on the Jon nigni ana nay wnen
the hill gets started.
The Vnre forces plan to knock out
the smaller Council measure drafted by
the charter revisionists and put In a
clause which will provide for a larger
body than tho proposed twenty-one mem
bers' chamber. They also w III oppose '
.the plan to take city contract work from
the private contractors.
Senator Vare, in his Interview, asked i
the newspapre correspondents to read
the bill to him. section by section. He
made his comments a sthe reading con
tinued. All Sections lllscussed
He discussed all sections of the hill,
with the exception of those dealing
with the reconstruction of the
Civil
Service Commission, dual omceholdfng,
removing city employes not Included In
the pollco and (Ire bureaus from poll
tics, and the removal of the distinc

ernments. '

Senator, when the nucstlonf of con-

the street-cleaning business Is that most
large cities. Including New Yotfc, are
doing their own street cleyinlnR, and thev
do It very largely for tho puipose of
controlling -voters to keep otllclals in

SHOE
W. II. Kelley, a lumber salesman, of
Omaha, found Xcolin Soles so tough
and durable that one pair of oles
served on a second pair of upper
after the first pair of uppers had worn
out in ten months of hard walking.
And he ays, "Those same soles will
stand another ten months of constant
daily wear."
tThis is unusual service even for
N'eolin Soles but Mr. Kclley's experi
ence should indicate to you a method
of cutting down those rising shoe bills
you have to meet. Simply make sure
Ihe new shoes you buy are Neolin
soled and have worn shoes repaired
with these soles which are scientifically
made to be comfortable, waterproof
and exceedingly long-wearing. They
