RESOLUTION AIMED At Of
FnCERs WHO FATTEN
ON PUBLIC

Councilman vonderlehr IL still an
uncompromising foe OF the fee sys-
tenn. He let that be known last night
at the meeting of the Council Conn
mittee on Ordinance, Charter and Re-
form when II developed that It was
too late 70 try to get his resolution on
the subject through the Legislature.
This fact was pointed out by Mr..
Pollock. who also doubted whether II
was within the province of the city to
regulate the pay Of officers that draw
part Of their salary from the city and
part from the State.
Mr.. vonderlehr said he had been
assured that his resolution could be
tackled on tV some other measure OF
similar import, even though the date
for introducing bills at the present
session Of the General Assembly was
passed. But he decided not to press
the matter when 1t was pointed out
further that both councilmanic bodies
would yet have to act on the resolu.
ton after the committee had finished
with 1t. and that would necessarily tie
1t up for some time longer. The GEN
eral Assembly Is scheduled to adjourn
on March 10.
Still Determined.
When he realized that he was up
against a hopeless proposition. Mr..
Vonderlehr announced that he propos-
ed to continue his fight on the tat
fee officers. and II he was in Council
two years hence he would certainly
be heard from again.
Hts resolution. introduced several
months ago. merely asks that the city
petition the Legislature to give It per-
mission to place all fee officers in

basis, U Council sees fit to do SO.
The committee adopted the street
obstruction ordinance as il was rec
commended by the subcommittee. 1t
also adopted the ordinance requiring
secondhand dealers to make u report
to the police OF all goods purchased.
Two clauses In the ORIGINAL parer
were stricken out. One stipulated
that the report should be written In
English. The other required that per-
init be procured from the chief OF
poffce.
Send Paper Back.
/. The ordinance relative to merging
the onices OF CITY Chemist and city
b4ctertOlogist was sent back to the
subcommittee so that it miEht be as
certained II It would De practicable to
abolish the Office OF chemist rather
than that OF bacteriolog;st. as recon-
mended by the subcommittee. The
subcommittee was directed to confer
with the Water Committee. Discus
sion OF this matter consumed more
than an hour Of the Ordinance Com
mittee.a time.
The committee placed Its stamp Of
approval upon, the ton
OF the water committee that the salary
of the following employees Of the Water
Department be fixed as follows:
Five inspectors and meter readers
at $50 per month each: foremen of
pump houses, So per day: pipe-laying
force at $2.75 per day.

mitee recommending that the contract
for new fish market on Seventeenth

She was clad In the dark blue costume

her address with an occasional touch
OF humor that IL delightful.
The most important question be-
fore mankind. she declared. Is the
elevation OF man. and that was the
great object and aim OF the Saliva
ton Army. The work OF the army

lines-preaching In the street. preach
ing In the hall and bringing sinners

We are a great big boat, she said.

.SCHEDULEK WILL Be MAIN ISSUE
IN COMING NATIONAL CAMPAIGN

/ lection and the political future of tht
republican party and its candidates
would depend upon whether the coun
try is willing to forego immediate re
! vision in order to maintain the pro
tectiye principle.
Democratic members of the ways
and means committee will frame q
bill on a tariff for revenue basis
The lines are sharply drawn between
the two factions in this respect The
republican insurgents of the house
have no representation in the ways
and means committee, so the two
bills that are considered in that com
mittee will be protected bill and a
revenue bill.
OF course, it is not to be denied
that politics will play a big hand in
the tariff revision in both houses.
The democrats, intent upon tariff re-
vision and honest in their purpose,
will also be seeking every opportunitY
to put the president in the hole and
to convince the country that the re-
publican larty is still "standpat' re-
gardless of the exhaustive report of
the tariff board, which justifes demo
cratic claims that the rates of sched'
ule X are outrageously high.
Republican insurgents, who are not
all friendly toward the president, viii
not hesitate to vote with the demo
Gratis in order to embarrass the pl es-
ident, in the event ii is shown that
the administration does not propose TO
have a sweeping reduction of the tar
iff.
Representative Underwood tho dem
ocratic floor leader and the ways and
means committee, says that the cen.
ocrats are willing to go to the coun
try on the issue of protection and that
if the president vetoes additional
tariff bills because they are lacking
in protection the majority party
blieves the voters will decline to ac-
cept the excuse made.
Leaders in both houses predict a
long session, with tariff legislation
uppermOst. This legislation must ori-
ginate in the house The present
plan is that the house will first pass
bills reducing the steel, sugar anu
chemical schedules. Meanwhile the
ways and means committee will be at
work on the wool bill. The cotton
bill will follow as soon as the tariff
board makes its report on the cotton
industry.
democrats are unwilling TO accept
the figures of the tariff board until
they have been checked by experts
of the ways and means committee and
this will take time. The republican
regulars are willing to take these fig
ures and Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Hill are
now at work on a wool bill to be
known as a protective bill.
The fight will be on in earnest with
in the next few days. It's echoes viii
still reyerbrate when the voters
march to the polls next November.
