EAST CENTER OPPOSED.
Resolutions Adopted BY the School
f. Meeting Monday.

The following resolutions were al
most unanimously passed by East
Center school district at its annual
March meeting. They only partially
express their disapproval of the pro-
posed changes in the rural school laws.
Whereas, there is now pending be-
fore the Iowa legislature two bills
known as senate file No 81 and house
file No. SO, seeking to radically change
and reorganiZe our present school
laws so as to take all duties and pow
er away from the local community and
place them in the hands OF outside
parties who may be wholly Indifferent
to local interests, therefore be it
Resolved, that we, the patrons and
officers or East Center school district,
do most earnestly request our mem
beers from Mahaska county to work and
vote for the defeat of any and all such
Iiegislation; and be it further
Resolved, that we ask the Oskaloo-
sa Daily Herald to publish same and
send marked copies to our members
in the Iowa legislature.

 Jeremiah Wall of this city heads the conductors of the New Haven sys- tenn, and John L. Rowe of this city is chairman of the trainmen's execu- tive committee
 The accommodation trains consist of from three to five cars except on hol- idays. and it is claimed by the railroad organizations that to handle so many cars is too much work for a single brakeman- Where there are more than three cars there should be two trainmen aboard.
