what appears will prove one of the
strongest state organizations of clerks
in the country. The work of organiza-
ton has been quite task, and has
been under the personal supervision of
Mr.. j. b. Walsh, of Keokuk, and Mr..
c. n. Tenny, of Sioux City, the state
sociation will be to help the younger
men in the service, clerks who
are employed on salaries of
5000 or $500, and yet are doing the
same amount of work as higher
priced clerks, who are on maximum
salaries. The Legislative committee is
the important one selected, and 1T VIII
work with a similar committee OF the
national association for the classitica-
ton bin now pending before congress,
the important features of which are an
eight hour day for clerks and classi-
fication of salaries, based on the merit
system. Examinations of clerks are to
be conducted once year, and If they
are not competent. or able to perform
the work others in the same office are
more capable of doing, they will be
compelled to stand aside and allow 9th
ers to advance, even tho they may be
superior in point of service.
The clerks think that they should be
entitled to as much recognition from
the postal department al Washington
as the carriers, who are prohibited
from working but eight hours a day.
The carrier may quit his route when
his eight hours are up, whether or not
he has completed his work, while the
clerk must remain until he is thru. The
clerks insist that while naturally they
are trying to better their own condi-
ton, they are at the same time work.

telegram from the IRIS Wash
irgton correspondent to the L. H. late
last night stated that the conference
report on public buildings had passed
the senate placing Marshalltown's
appropriation back to SS5,00o as
provided in the original house bill and
late this afternoon wire from Con-
gresham Cousins gives the glad news
that this same conference report passed
the house today. The omnibus bill has
now only to be signed by the president
when $4,000 will be ready for the erec-
ton of federal building in Marshall-
town.
Without the many favors to trade
that the speaker of the house has and
without even membership on the pub
lie buildings committee, where he can
take a "whack" at the other fellows
bill in the protection of his own, Con-
gresham Cousins has done good work
to get what he has for Marshalltown.
The long established rule in congress is
that towns of less than $4,000 inhabi-
tants should receive not more than $780,
600 for public buildings. Senator Fair
banks, chairman of the senate commit
tee on public buildings, had several APP
preparations for towns in his state of
Indiana, which were down in the $4,000
class, and he insisted that Iowa should
be reduced accordingly, but Cousins,
Henderson, Conner and the Iowa boys
made strong fight in conference COM
mittee and won. The s15O,OO0 for Wa
terloo is considered simply as court
esy to the speaker of the house. Uncle
Sam must pay the bill. Boone gets It's
100000 thru Conner and Atlantic was
reduced from $4,000 to $4,000.

REJECTS LIBRARY BIDS
Board OF Trustees Having Much
the Same Experience as the
School Board.
Plans 10 Be Modified and New
Bids to Be Received in
Two Weeks.

The board of trustees Of the Mar
ishalltown public library met Wednes-
day evening to open the bids of the
contractors for the erection of the new
Carnegie library building, and met with
much the same difficulty as did the
school board when it attempted to
award the contract for the Third ward
school building. The bids were too
high and the contracts could not be
awarded because the entire expense of
building, heating plant and furnishings
could not be brought within the appro-
priation of 100000.
Four general bids were received for
the building, and dozen other bids
were placed for the heating and plumb
ing, for the stacks and other perma-
rent fixtures. The trustees expected to
be able to secure n bid for the bare
building in the neighborhood of $4,000,
leaving sufficient surplus for the
heating plant, etc. The four general
bids, however, ranged from s27,65O to
S35.T1T, that of Contractor Atkinson, of
this city, being the lowest. The bids
were as follows:
J. f. Atkinson. Marshalltown. S27650
C. F. Reimer Marshalltown. -. 2S300
W. j. Vitterell, Webster city,. 2S,5S9
Charles f. Carson, Chicago..... 35,71T
Mr.. Stiles, representing the firm of
Patton & Miller, the architects who
drew the plans, was present at the
meeting The board could do nothing
but reject the bids, and will proceed at
cnce to secure notifications in the
plans and will readvertise for new bids
under the notifications. The bids will
be received in two weeks, at which time
it is hoped the contract can be awarded
at figure that will leave a surplus in
the Carnegie donation sufficient to pay
for the heating, plumbing, stacks and
furnishings.
The contractors insist that the ainbi-
tons of the architects to build monu-
ments rather than buildings that are
neat but adequate is largely RESPONSE
BE for the high figures. The board in
s.sts that building very similar to that
to be erected here has been built in
Sheboygan, Wis. at a cost of $4,000.
aside from the furnishings. That city,
however, is nearer the lumber centers.
The modified plans viii not mar the
beauty or decrease the dimensions of
the building.
