Motion TO Re-commit Bill Lost In
the House.

The Augusta county boomers yes
terday won their first battle in the
Legislature. 1t was in the House on
a motion to re.commit the bill to the
Judiciary committee. The motion to
re-commit was based on the fact that
the committee had made majority
and minority report. Six members OF
the committeeman signed the former
and four the latter. The motion was
lost by a4yote Of thirty-nine TO thirty
four. The bill was set for the first
thing today as unfinished business.
To date it looks like the Augusta
county people have the best of the
light.

from 1900 to 2000 men and women.
Who are making the educa ton of the
boys and girls of the state their work.
at that time the state was spending a
few hundred thousand dollars a year
for education, and school houses We're
few and far between. Now the state
expenditure amounts TO millions annu-
ally, every few square miles of terri
tory has its school house, and nearly
every township has it's school.

morrow the parent organization Will
be in full blast. Associated organi-
cations which hold meetings are the

PAY OF GUARDsMEN.
Ruling Made That Will Interest the
Boys in Militia.
From Mondays Daily.

IhOuuoy .
A very Important ruling of local in
terest to the National Guardsmen of
Minnesota is connected with the prepare
tion at the war department for the
participation of portions of the organic
ed militia of the various states and ter
ritories in the several encampments,
maneuvers and field instruction of regu-
lar armystroops, has been made by the
acting comptroller of the treasury on the
subject of thHfeper pay and allowance
to such state tf61ps.
" The acting comptroller holds that in
the computing the pay of officers and
enlisted men of the organized militia
for the period passed by them in the
camps, no account can be taken of any
previous service either in the regular
army or volunteer forces of the United
States.
One of the points raised in communi
cation from the secretary of war was as
to whether members of the militia could
lawfully claim increased pay in cases
where they have served continuously in
the regular army for over five years and
sought the benefits allowed in regular
service under the name of 'reenlistment
pay"
The acting comptroller holds that
such service does not give any extra
claim outside of the regular army. The
inquiry by the war department was
made at this time to forestall great
number of small claims for additional
emoluments.

BICYCLE REPAIR BILLS.
Police Officers Feel That They Have
Been UnjustIy Criticised.
From Mondays Daily.


Several business men have complained
to the aldermen about the practice of the
council in paying for repairs to bicycles
used by the policemen in the performance
of their duties. The police are not pleas
ed with the attitude of these business
men. They say that they furnish the
wheels at their own expense in order to
be able to answer calls more quickly,
and that if they are willing to go to this
expense the city should at least pay for
any repairs that may be needed. The re-
pair bills do not exceed 81 year for
each wheel.
1t is fact that the police are much
more efficient when they use bicycles,
as they can get over the ground much
more quickly that way than by walk
ing. At night they can go along the
streets almost unobserved on bicycles
and can cover several times as much ter
ritory as they could if they walked.
They are not paid as much as the men
who work on the streets, yet are requir
ed to dress we'll. If they are willing to
furnish their own conveyances in order
to do better work for the city and keep
down the necessity for additional pa
trolmen, the citizens ought to have no
kick coming. The laborer should be
'worthy of his hire" but should not be
expected to do his work for starvation
wages. The city is fortunate that it can
get along with so small police force,
and if it can continue to do so by paying
the little bicycle repair bills it will be
good business policy to continue to pay
them.
The fines collected from law violators
who would have escaped but for the fact
that the police had bicycles to chase
them with have more than paid the
repair bills.
