RURAL ROUTE SALARIES.
Earnest Effort for Increase to Be Made
Before Congress.

Washington, Nov. 2.-lt is already
apparent that strong movement viii
be made before congress at the COM
ing session to secure increased sal
aries for carriers on rural free deliv-
cry routes. Word comes from Min
nesota and other states in the North
west that carriers are dissatisfied
with the present compensation and
they will make strong efforts to have
congress increase ii. The fact that
the carrier IS required to furnish a
horse and wagon cuts deeply into the
$500 a year allowed by the govern
ment and congress will undoubtedly
increase the pay or make an allow
ance for horse hire and equipment
Such an allowance is urged by some
representatives who are interested in
the cause of the carriers
The subject of increased pay for
rural carriers has received some at
tention at the postotfice department
but whether Postmaster General Payne
will discuss ii in his forthcoming an
nual report has not yet been decided
1t may be that he will defer making
any recommendation in this connec-
tion until called upon to do so by the
congressional committees.

PROVINCIALISM IN HIGH PLACES.
Many Much Travelled New Workers
Who Have Never Seen Washington.

Take the people of New York, for
that New Workers are in some re-
spects the most provincial people in
the United States. This is, of course,
slanderous. But the fact is that there
are people in New York who have
travelled beyond seas, who have Wis
tied Paris and Budapest, and Bombay
and Hongkong. and Jerusalem and
Vladivostok who have never been in
Washington in their lives. or course,
it is inconvenient to prove this state
ment, but the fact is that two New
Workers of wealth, education and re-
fnement are visiting in Washington
at this writing who confess that this
is their first visit although they have
travelled in Europe and Asia until they
are tired of globe-trotting. These are
isolated instances.
Recently there came to Washington
a man who had accumulated fortune
Of several millions Of dollars in one OF
the greatest manufacturing industries
of this country His home and the
seat of the industry he founded are in
an interior city but the company has
branches in every large city in the
world. He had Travelled in many lands
but he had not been in Washington
since the civil war until this winter
He had been so busy he had not
thought of the changes that must have
taken place at the capital. He saw
everything with the wondering eyes
of a child The senate interested and
puzzled him greatly; the library OF
congress made him ashamed that he
had believed Europe possessed all the
architecture and art worth having;
the executive departments were run
on a different plan than he had sup
posed. He found that the men he had
believed great were small and the men
he had believed second-raters were
leaders in legislation and administra-
tion.-Walter E. Clark, in Golfers.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1903-04-30

Madison, April 27-Gov La Toilette
sent two vetoes to the assembly. one
on the bill permitting cities of the
third class to issue Bonds for the pur-
chase of school sites and the erection
of school buildings to the amount Of
100000 annually. The governor
calls attention to an omission from
the bill any reference to the law re-
curing bond issues to be submitted to
vote of the people. The second
veto was of the bill relating to courts
taking judicial notice of the public
acts of congress and the statutes Of
other states. Both vetoes were sus-
tanned until today for action. The as
sembly refused to concur in the senate
amendment to the assembly bill pro-
viding a contingent fund of $4,000 for
the prevention of Asiatic cholera,
bubonic plague smallpox and other
contagious diseases. The senate
amendment provided that none of the
money should be available for the pre-
vention of smallpox and other dan
gerous contagious diseases" 1t is
the sense of the assembly that the APP
preparation shall be available for the
stamping out of smallpox. The Stout
compulsory education bill was concur
led in as vas also the bill giving state
aid to country schools of agriculture.
The bill providing additional in
speCtOrs and an assistant chemist for
the dairy and food commissioner was
concurred in. A bill appropriating
$4,000 to David Stephens and others
for stone furnished in the construc-
ton of the historical library was
passed.
