RAISE OFFICIAL SALARIES.
Party Leaders In House Agree to Dls-
euss the Question.

Washington, Dec. l4,-The house is
seemingly inclined to raise the salaries
OF the members rs we'll as those OF the
vice president, speaker, senator's and
cabinet officers. Before rosuming con-
sideation OF the legislative, judicial
and executive appropriation bill yester-
day, Littauer, Of New York, endeav.
ored to have u resolution adopted pro.
viding for taking up the question in the
committee Of the whole, but Under
wood, OF Alabama, objected to its con.
sideration in committee. He said,
however, he would make no objection
to its discussion in the house after the
bill was reported by the committee Of
the whole.
He added that he was opposed to the
increase, but said he would not block
the way Of serious consideration. His
suggestion formed the basis of an agree
ment that, when the bill shall be re-
ported, the question OF general ad-
vance in salaries will be taken up
and voted upon as an amendment be-
fore the legislative bill is finally acted
upon.
The resolution increases the salaries
Of senator's and representatives to $7,-
500 and makes other increases in OFF,
cial salaries. The resolution also fixes
the salaries of the vice president and
speaker at $4,000 and Of cabinet otli-
Gers ut $4,000.

SHOULD BUILD OWN wARsHlPs
Admiral Capps Says Government Has
Proved Ability,

Washington, Dec. A. The ability
of the government navy yard to turn
out warships equal in all respects to
those built under contract, in the opin,
ion Of Rear Admiral Capps, of the bu-
reau OF construction Of the Navy, in his
annual report, has been fully demon
strated. He urges that at least one
yard on the Pacific coast and one on
the Atlantic coast, when practicable,
should be given u reasonable proper
tion of new construction work in order
that such yards may always be available
for any work the government may de-
sire to undertake therein.
Admiral Capps admits that 1t costs
less to build warship by contract by
reason OF the shorter hours OF labor,
paid holidays, vacations, etc, granted
to navy yard employees, but he believes
nevertheless that the government should
be always prepared to turn out its own
ships in times of emergeny. The lack
of suitable docking facilities at Norfolk
and Mare Island is commented upon as
being especially embarrassing to the
bureau, as no battleships of any class
can be docked at either Of those yards.

been decided where or when the inves-
tigation of the Hill lines will take

however. that his company had any
intention of making such a move
According to Mr.. Moorehesd bis

meet in this city Saturday, May
18th, under the auspices of the
National Good Roads Association,
with Headquarters in Saint Louis,
Missouri, the city and county off
cials. the Commercial OFganiza-
rions and Business Men will be one
of the most important Conventions
ever assembled far any purpose in
this city and county.
1t will be important to every
home of the city as the condition
and bstterment of the streets, walks,
curbing. sewerage and park condi.
lions all their lives. The Conven-
ton will enlighten every farmer
and tax payer as to the best and
cheapest methods improving the
Public Roads. The common Earth
Roads are the base and primitive
structures upon which all street
paving and macadam construction
must depend.
The National Good Roads Asso-
citation salI powerful in advocating
up to date methods of CO. cooperation
in Road Construction.
Since the organization of the
government the farmers of all the
states and territories have furnished
the taxes to build and maintain the
roads. This method is an unjust
and unwarranted burden. The
Road belongs to every body. Every
man and woman who walks or rides
over the Road has an interest lin
it's improvement. A Good Road
is an asset to the merchant, the
banker. the manufacturer, the Rail-
road, the school and the church
just as it is to the farmer who
grows the products to feed and
clothe the world OF the lumberman
who converts the Forest into lum.
Der for the home and the ship.
Everybody should join in max
ing the Convention a signal suc-
cess. The farmers have direct
interest and should bring their
wivep. sons and daughters.
Special invitation is cordially ex-
tended to all ladies. We are in
formed that hundreds of ladies at
tend these meetings. In a very
large number of the American cities
the women are organizing Civic
Clubs.
These Clubs include in their
membership the Farmers wives
and daughters who join in advooa-
ting Civic and Rural improvement
Don't forget the date. The Con-
vention is free to all. Come and
bring your neighbors and all join
