Kinney has credited to the revenue fond $1,085,113.82 in Interest collected on state funds, according to his monthly report, which has Just been Issued. The report shows that during the first year the amount turned In was $1,000,- 188.12, to which $84,980.70 was added for receipts in January. There is a balance of $41,558,009.71 in the state treasury. The report also shows that there Is In the state treasury $6,410,- 268.87 derived from the gasoline tax, which will remain there until the legislature acts, In accordance with an opinion from Attorney General Oscar R. Carlstrom. In an opinion given to State's Attorns H. E„ Fallen wider, Attorney General Oscar E. Carlstrom advises that If there is not enough money In the county's dog tax fund to pay sheep claims the money available should be prorated.

Representatives, comprising, miners and business and professional men from thirty-four counties In central and southern Illinois, assembled In Springfield a few days ago and formed a state-wide organization to further the "Buy Illinois Coal" campaign. "Buy Illinois Coal" rallies, on a small s<;ale, have been held In many parts of the state In an effort to persuade Illinois consumers to purchase coal mined In the state In preference to that mined In Kentucky and West Virginia fields. The state-wide meeting was called at the suggestion of A.

T. nett, clerk of the United States court, from his brother. Col. Charles Burnett, military attache, at the American embassy, Tokyo, Japan. The Lincoln Centennial association committee which judged the essays was lowl In praise of the contest and English employed by the Japanese In giving their conception of the Emancipator. poor at a church mouse and JMnH have enough money to boy postage stamps back in 1842, Dean Charles Manfred Thompson of the college of commerce. University of Illinois, told members of the Springfield Optimist club a few days ago. "Illinois has a right to be proud of the fact that its public debt of $12,000,- 000 in 1842, and its accrued Interest, was not repudiated but eventually paid In full. The equivalent of that debt In these times would be one and onehalf billion dollars, according to my estimate," Dean Thompson said. . The educator pointed to Thomas Ford as the man responsible for the payment of the debt. "When Ford became governor in 1842 receipts were $70,000 annually; outgo was $180,000 a year; the treasury was empty and nothing was being paid on the public debt Our forefathers were taxed and they practiced all sorts of economies. "Conditions were such that when Ford went to get the state's mall at Springfield post office he had to borrow money to pay the postage, which in Ifeose days was not prepaid." Dean Thompson also described the actlvltlaa of Abraham Lincoln, then a member of the state legislature, In helping to Iralld Illinois. Mors onpoblished iettcc*. « legal opinion and several other documents in the handwriting of Abraham Lincoln have come into the possession of Emmanuel Herts of New York city, collector of Lincolnlana, who made their contents public several days ago. The most Important document is a letter written by Lincoln from Springfield on December 21, 1800, to Andrew G. Curtln, war governor of Pennsylvania. The letter, marked "confidential," follows: "I am obliged by your klndnesa In asking my views In advance of preparing your Inaugural. I think of nothing proper for me to suggest except a word about this secession and this union movement--on that subject, I think, you would do well to express without passion, threat or appearance of boasting, but, nevertheless, with firmness, the l urpose of yourself and yoor state to maintain anion at all hazards." Each motorist during 1927 used au average of 550.9 gallons of gasoline and traveled an average of 7,847 miles, according to figures just announced by the nattonal headquarters of the American Motoriats association, through the Automobile Club of Illinois. The averages are based on a total gasoline consumption in the United States amounting to 11,563,490,000 gallons-- an increase of 12.4 per cent over the gasoline consumption by the motjurists of the country during 1926. Eliminating all reregistration figures, the United States bureau of public roads places the total motor vehicle registration as of Joly 1, 1927 at 90,- 991,883.

Vail, clerk of the Supreme court. Following the court's decision Inquiries began to come in regarding the contents' of the opinlofi and recently formal applications for copies have come from Ohio, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Missouri, and other states. The finding of the court Is final so far as the CM tax in Illinois Is concerned. Fatal automobile accidents took another upward swing In Illinois last year, according to statistics made public a few days ago by Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings rtate health director, who points out that fatalities due to this cause Jumped from 1,647 In 1926 to 1,776 In 1927, an unfavorable difference of 129. This fact makes the automobile more dangerous as a cause of death than the great majority of diseases. Indeed this new record puts the gasoline motor well ap among the •m most Important causes of death ft the state. Counties with assets temporarily overbalanced by liabilities and unable to pay their mothers* aid gratuity, must pay the back installments when they get the money, Attorney General Oscar E. Carlstrom has ruled. While his opinion was In answer to a query from Jasper county where county funds are low, the ruling Is equally applicable to msmy other counties of the state where finances are in bad shape.

C. March 17, 1928. Hon. Frank G. Plain, . Aurora, Illinois. My dear Mr. Plain: The inquiry which has come to me from your offices, relative to the agricultural legislation record of Hon. Frank R. Reid, is cheerfully •lowered. '"••• The Washington offices of the American Farm ButMtr fWfcratfoii, following the conclusion of each session of Congress, issues a roll call on important agricultural measures showing how all members of Congress voted thereon. Congressman Reid's record on such roll calls is excellent. Hs record has been distributed among the farmers who are members of the Farm Bureau in Illinois, through the publications of the Ilianoas Agnelli* tural Association, and are accordingly well known. It is particularly gratifying to note that Congressman Reid has been a staunch supporter of farm relief legislation, as contained in the McNary Haugen bill. Our records show that he has not only voted for that measure in the final roll call upon it, but has voted against all destructive and obstructive amendments. In the present session of Congress, Congressman Reid is dob« invaluable service in drafting effective flood control legislation, upon which matter the American Farm Bureau Federation is very much in accord with what Congressman Reid advocates. In brief, one may say the record of Congressman Reid on agricti* tural affairs is such that his influence here at Washington in future yean will be very beneficial to the nation at large.
