WILL STATE PAY
TIPSFOR GUARD?
UNCLE SAM STANDS FOR 1T AND
IOWA MAY BE ASKED TO DO
LIKEWISE.

Here bell boy, bring me few
postage stamps and keep the change"
Here carry my luggage to the hotel.
never mind about the change, just buy
a smoke" Porter, wake me up half
an hour before we reach Kokomo and
take smile on me-" Gee but it is
fine business, this thing of having the
state pay the tips and of course you
can get the service If you are not tight
in the matter of tips-but all of this
lis guardsman's dream.
Members Of the Iowa National guard
who are compelled to travel about the
state are contemplating asking the ex-
ecutive council to allow them sufficient
extra money to pay tips to sleeping
car porters, walters, luggage carriers
and bell hops
If they are successful they. will
have launched custom which will be
extended to all state officers who are
compelled to spend their time in the
interests of the statein travelling, such
as pharmacy commissioners, in the
pursuit of vendors, etc.
The agitation comes from the dis
covery by Adjutant General Logan
that the war department for Uncle
Sam officially recognizes tips. The
government allows those travelling for
the war department tip money not to
exceed Is cents for having valise
carried or for getting a pitcher of ice
water from bell hop or for an at.
tentive waiter. A sleeping car porter
is allowed 25 cents according IT,
Uncle Sans standard.
In Iowa these expenses must be
paid out of the travellers private ac-
count, and yet they are expenses that
are oftentimes necessary says Cen
eral Logan. 1T seems unfair to send
man out on state business for which
he usually receives less than if he
stayed at home and attended to his
own business and then compel him to
pay all these side expenditures out Of
his own pocket"
