slrom The Tribune F3ureaul
Washington. Dec. 1.-THE leaders OF Con-
gress have completed their tentative legis-
lstive programme for the present session.
Although comparatively little business has
been transacted on the floors of the two
houses Of Congress. the last week has been
marked by a series OF conferences among
the leaders at which the entire situation
legislative economic and political-has been
reviewed the views Of the President have
been ascertalned and discussed. the aims
and purposes of the more influential mem
bers of the two houses have been learned.
and to-day the first rough draft Of the leg
islative programme was completed. As in
variably is the case. the plans for the ses-
sion constitute a compromise between the
do-nothing policy Of the extreme conservs-
tives and tie somewhat extravsgant de-
sires Of the radicals. or insurgents.
AS n result of the quiet but firm in
sistenoe OF President Taft. the leaders have
decided to enact a postal savings bank bill.
Senator Aldrich and other members OF the
National Monetary Commission urged that
legislation OF this character should be post
poned until the Monetary Commission had
reported. and should then be made a part
of the comprehensive scheme OF financial
legislation expected to follow that report.
The President. however. rejected that view.
lie pointed ouI that all through the cam
paign he had urged the postal savings bank
the proper means Of attaining the end
sought by Mr.. Bryan and his fellow Demo
Gratis in the hank guarantee scheme. Mr..
Taft told the leaders he felt it incumbent
upon them 10 make good the campaign
pledge, especially as in certain Western
states the Bryan idea was still extremely
popular. and he sdroitly obtained from the
leaders an admission that the creation of
6 postal savings bank AT this session would
in no way interfere with the broader none
tary system 10 be adopted later.

OSKALOOSA CREAMERY
Change In Management And New
Arrangements.

A change has taken place in the
MANAGEMENT of the Oskaloosa cream
cry. George NJ. Evans has succeeded
If. M. Tanner who has accepted a new
position in Hampton. While the two
businesses will not be combined IN
any way, Mr.. Evans has moved the
offices of the creamery to his poultry
and egg house opposite the opera
house, and will conduct both busl-
nesses from the same place. The
cream station that has been maintain
ed at the Evans place will be continu-
ed but will be conducted on somewhat
different lines for the better accomm0-
dation of the customers. One change
in the operating of the station at the
station at the Geo. M. Evans Produce
Co. station, which we think will be
appreciated by oil parties concerned.
is, that instead of patrons having to
wait until cream is tested, tests will
not be made until the evening OF the
day of delivery,and the reports and
checks for the same will be given to
patrons when they make the next
cream delivery. Miss Gertrude Rod
gers has been added to the Office force
and will care for the books of both the
|creamery and egg house.
A. l.. Larson, the expert butter
maker who has been with the cream
er for over year will continue at
the head OF the department and will
be in charge of the plant. This Is
guarantee that the work will be we'd
done and that Quaker Butter will con-
tinue to go out as among the best
brands on the market. The creamery
is now supplying the farmers with an
excellent outlet of their butter fat, and
under the new arrangements will no
doubt serve its customers in as good,
if not better way than it ever has
before.

were guarded 10 their car by sixteen de-
