Renew Fioht on Cannon.

Washington, Jan. 27.--That the house
insurgents intend to keep up their fight
was evidenced when Representative
Fowler of New Jersey introduced res
olution that aims to take the control
of the committee on rules away from
the speaker. That committee, under the
present organization. controls legisla-
ton and is dominated by the speaker,
who is chairman of it and names the
members to serve with him.
The insurgents propose that on Feb
Ia the house shall proceed to the elec.
ton of five additional members OF the
committee. four to be republicans and
one a democrat. The resolution pro-
vides that the speaker shall cease to be
a member of the committee, but that
his four present associates. two repub-
licans and two democrats. shall contln-
ue to serve on the committee.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on rules. Speaker Cannon is
not at this time prepared to announce
whether that committee will report II
back to the house or whether he will
attempt to bury it in his graveyard. II
is the purpose of the republican insur-
gents to wait reasonable time to de-
velop the attitude of the speaker and
then if he does not report the resolu-
ton to move that the house discharge
the committee from further considera-
ton of the matter.
If the speaker attempts to prevent
the consideration of such a motion an
appeal will be made directly to the
house and with the assistance of the
democrats the insurgents expect to
have enough votes to pass the resolu-
ton. Its Importance can he appreciated
when it is known that the committee
on rules has the power to control the
proceedings in the house and can shear
the speaker of authority to determine
what measures shall be reported.

DeS tMoines. Jan. 27.-Oil inspectors,
at least deputy oil inspectors for the
state, can't put up an office and tax
the costs up to the state. So the state
executive council has ruled. and, In so
ruling. has turned down II six months
bill at 50 month. filed for official ap-
prevail by Deputy Oil Inspector #. III.

ton. about seventytiv miles from Du-

Being an inspector. Lake believed he
had to have some sort of little office,
where he could be located when in
town and also where he could make his
tests. So he rented room in a board
ing house. boarded off part of II for his
test room and used the other part for
a rest room.
Then he turned In the bin 10 the
state. The secretary of state didn't
look on 1t with favor and put 1t up to
the executive council. The council con
ferred with Chief Oil Inspector NJ. III.
Byers. of Des Moines and Mr. Byers
said it should not be approved Hence
1t wasn't. and it Is up to Deputy Lake
to pay.
Lakes necessity for an office grew
out Of the action of the Standard OIL
Company in issuing an order that no
more inspections OF oil shall be made
within the limits Of any of the COM
pany's plants in Iowa.
This order was the direct result of
the first inspection to be made by Dep
uty Olson, of Des Moincs. after his APP
pointment several months ago. Olson
went down to the standards plant In
Des Ioines and in the course of his
first test got his wires crossed and an
explosion followed. This go scared John
DIS representatives that they wouldn't
allow an Iowa inspector to maxi. a test
even in an abestos and sheet iron room
and the order went forth that no more
inspections should be had in the com
panys plants. Since then the inspect
ors have taken samples of the oil els.

BIG ERRORS SAY MAGAZINES.
Publishers Undertake to Show the Gov

ernment Few Things.
Washington, Jan. 27.-An error Of
$60000,000 is charged by the Associa-
tion of American Magazine Publishers
against the postoffice department in the
latter's figures on the deficit in carry
ing second class mail matter This and
other mistakes are alleged in the de-
partment's figures upon which basis it
is proposed to raise the rate for carry
ing magazines and periodicals thru the
mails.
About twenty five leading magazine
publishers appeared yesterday before
the house committee on postoffices and
post roads.
The answer which attracted principal
attention was the pamphlet circulated,
entitled: '"The Answer of the Maga-
zines."
According to this statement there
was not a deficit in the postal depart
ment of $17,000,000, as the department
alleges, but a surplus of s10,000,000,
when the specific loss on the free rural
delivery is taken into consideration.
