SHALL OUR LITTLE
ONES Be ROBBED
And Deprived of
Educational Advantages
Through the Avaricious Greed
Of Those Who Would Repu-
diate Honest Obligations?

1t is matter of wonder to those
at all conversant with the subject
that either Wallrich or Mallett
should have the effrontery to claim
"A release from legal or moral reli-
ability in the matter of the destruc-
ton by fire of the nearly completed
school building in district No. 3.
Alamosa. The facts are SO definite.
the proofs SO positive, as shown
by legal documents duly signed,
that child would laugh and jeer
at SO brazen an attempt to escape
an obligation.
The Chronicle has made "A full
/ presentation of the facts regarding
the position-the financial and
moral position of both Mr.. Wall
rich and Mr.. Mallett so far as this
question is concerned. 1t has pub
lished the official documents
something no other paper has had
the honesty to do. We have held
them up to public gaze and the
people car. judge as to the truth OF
the statements made.
Despite the publication of copy
of the official bond despite the
statements made by The Chronicle,
fully corroborated by the records,
these men came out in signed
statement in the Courier of last
week in which they declare they
were protected by fire clause
| in the bond. Such statement is
deliberately false. There was no
such clause-not even such a refer
ence-in the bond. 1t was simply
IA guaranty, without ifs or butts.
that these men would protect the
interests of the people in the con-
struction of this school building.
How well they are doing so may be
judged by their present action.
Both Mr.. Wallrich and Mr.. Mallett
know that the exemption clause
referred to appeared only in the
contractors plans and specifica-
tions; they know that
Not one word regarding this
clause was incorporated in the
bond which they signed, pre-
sumably to protect the people.
Probably this was an oversight.
In view of recent developments it
would naturally be expected that
they would have sought to erect
all sorts of legal barriers against
possible financial disaster.
But they made a slip, uninten-
tionally, of course, and entered into
an honest agreement with the
people of school district No. 3.
That agreement they have deliber-
ately and illegally violated and
insist upon violating. 1t is now
up to the people to force these men
to show their position-whether
they will make due reparation OF
insist upon posing as violators of IA
public obligation.
The evident desire to mislead the
people, and thereby protect them
selves from liability, is SO palpable
that none will be deceived Sifted
down to the ground floor, the con-
tention is just this:
1t was deemed necessary to con-
struct school building in district
No. 3, Alamosa. Wallrich and
Mallett signed the bonds guar

Tells Iowa Bankers Of Serious
Mistake in Manner of Ask
ing Legislation
SENATOR ADDRESSES MEETING
Saunders Says No Constituent Has
Right to Dictate, Without Reason,
What He Shall Dol. D. Goodrich,
Of Nicola, Elected President Of the
Iowa Association at Council Bluffs.
Special to Times Republican.


Council Bluffs, May 17.-At the an
nual meeting of the Iowa Bankers
Association, group No. S, in this city,
last evening, Senator c. G.. Saunders,
of Council Bluffs, who had been called
upon to address the meeting, and who
had remained In the meeting after he
had concluded his remarks, took UNI
bragg at some remarks made by dele
gate banker in attendance, and arising
to reply precipitated an acrimonious
discussion not down upon the program.
Before it had proceeded far the chair
man of the meeting exercised his right
OF maintaining order and changed the
subject.
In saunders speech he had UNDER
taken to tell the bankers of the laws
which had been passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature. intended for
their benefit and protection. After he
had concluded his address, Homer A.
Miller. of Des Moines, spoke upon
"the measures which did not pass" and
said 1t was probably because the bank
ers neglected to call the attention of
their representatives to their merits
Two bills were mentioned especially
by Mr.. Miller. The one related to the
publication of reports of state and
savings banks and making reports to
the state auditor and the other was
that providing for the taxation of state
and savings banks upon the same foot
ing as other institutions. He said:
Il presume the failure of the bills
was due to the fact that the word
bank is mighty big one among legis-
lators. When they hear 1t they at once
think of the octopus and go cunning
for it. The best reason for not pass
ing bill seems to be the fact that
the banks want it."
At this point Senator Saunders ex-
hibited a disposition to want to get
into the discussion and arose in the
meeting to have his say.
ANY constituent of mine who writes
me telling me bill is good and ought
right to dictate what l ought to do.
If he tells me why he wants 1t passed,
that will be an entirely different mat

my reason, but the other story of a
request always seems to me to be in the
nature of dictation and think bank
ers or anyone else make serious
blunder when they resort to IT.
There was just momentary lull in
the proceedings with no word of COM
ment. protest or condemnation follow
ing the incident and the convention
proceeded as tho nothing had happen
ed out of the ordinary routine.
The bankers elected officers as fol-
lows:

Over sixty bankers were in attend
ance.
