AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON.
Matters Concerning the Law Makers and Events of Importance at the
 National Capital.
United States Press Association )

(United States Press ASSociation)
 WASHINGTON, D. C., April 2Oth- Congressman Prouty of Iowa, is win ming fame in his first term through an attempt to regulate lobbying. The gentleman from Iowa has simply tax en the position that all persons en- gagged in promoting legislation should be required to register as is provided in the different states. The second feature of his bill restricts the activ- 1ty of employees of the government, including policemen and firemen. These latter classes have organiza- tlons which they support and which have become quite a factor in law making, and it is proposed to clip the wings of these minor oqicers in order that they will not be able to pursue their work by controlling the legisla- ton through high paid attorneys.
 The harvester trust people have seen the hand writing, and are going to succumb to the inevitable by dis solving their organizations under the terms laid down by the Department of Justice. It is claimed that the trust controls 95 per cent of the har- vester machinery business of the country, 75 per cent of the moving business, 50 per cent of the binder twine business, and 30 per cent )f the farm implements, and it is alleg- ed by the government that the trusts has been guilty of unfair practices and unlawful and coercive methods The trust people have decided to be good, and escape the righteous wrath of the indignant people.
 There appear to be an unusually large army of applicants for appoia- tive positions in Washington at the present time, and some dozens of these were hopeful of securing the place of Chief of the new Childrens s Bureau. There is smothered rage in the ranks of these patriots who that the President has appointed Miss Julia c. Lathrop of Chicago. Chival rous Washington thoroughly agrees with the idea of precedence given ladies in affairs like that of the Titan ic, but have little use of such prin- ciples of preference when it comes to giving out first-class government jobs.
 The statue of John Paul Jones, who is described in American history ;,s the first great naval hero, and in British history as pirate, has been unveiled in Washington. Admiral Dewey performed the simple cere- mOny.
 About the most aggravating phase in the Republican situation to friends and foes alike, is the quiet calm that prevails at the White House, where President Taft smiles the same old smile, and apparently beams with the same old time admiration on the en- larged photograph of Theodore Roose- welt, which hangs in his private of flee.
 Indications are that the labor unions long fight for a uniform gov ernment eight-hour day will soon be realized, as the measure which has al- ready passed the House, has been favorably reported to the Senate by Chairman Borah of the Committee on Education and Labor

SCHOOL BOND ISSUE
ELECTION IS ASKED
Board Also Seeks to Purchase
Additional Ground for
Cross School Pupils.

Upon motion of Anderson ant
Register the school board at its regu
lar meeting Monday evening adopted
the resolution which had been in
troduced at the meeting week age
which requests the mayor to call ar
election to vote upon the question
of issuing bonds for the erection o.
high school. The resolution di-
reefs the president and clerk to no.
tify the mayor of the boards action
and request and that it is the desire
of the board that the election be
held on Tuesday April 2. This is
the time of the regular spring cleo
ton and though entirely favoring
the request for the school bond
election, Chapple, Tomlinson and
Davis opposed the call for it on that
date.
Members of the school board
who had questioned a number of
citizens reported however that they
found a sentiment favorable to
holding the bond election on April
2 and thus saving the city the ex-
pense of an extra election. The
resolution which was adopted states
it to be the judgement of the school
board of District No composed of
Chanute and the school territory
attached thereto, that it is necessary
that the district be provided with a
suitable high school building and
grounds. the same not to exceed
the estimated cost of SIS, 900.
The site contemplated is described
as lots one to nil e inclusive In block
9, Alliance addition to Chanute.
This is the tract of ground known
as the Wilder site. According to
the resolution the bonds would bear
not to exceed per cent interest
and would be payable not more
than 20 years from their date, and
should be sold at not less than their
par value.
The board unanimously adopted
a resolution offered by Tomlinson
and Anderson that in the event that
the bond issue carries, a sum not to
exceed $40, 900 be spent in remodel
ing the Pioneer building, putting in
a heating plant, ventilating, light.
ing and making it absolutely modern
for a ward school building.
N. P. Nelson, Topeka architect
was present with drawing of a
school building such as he would
wish to have the board adopt.
The members voted that in case
the bonds carry they would employ
him at a per cent of the contract
price of the building on which they
might decide. Mr.. Nelson would
oversee the construction in person |
and also superintend the remodeling
of Pioneer.
The urgent need of additional
ground at the Cross school was
discussed and action taken toward |
the purchase of the so feet adjoin-
ing the tract on the south. A mo-
ton was offered by Royster and
Anderson that the so feet be pur.
chased if it could now be secured
at not to exceed $1,000. The mo.
ton was adopted and also that of
Tomlinson and Chapple that a
committee of three be appointed TO
for the purchase. Presi'
dent Swank appointed Royster,
Tomlinson and Anderson for this |
purpose. A four room house un-
occupied most of the time is now
on the lot. The foot of the fire
escape on the Cross building is but
six feet from the wire fence separat-
ing the school grounds from the
tract under consideration

ALL RAILROADS
NOW OPTIMISTIC

The railroads are evidently con-
WINGED that a revival of business Is
at hand, for many of them are pre-
pairing for it. Genoa Traffic Man
ager Calkins of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & Puget Sound has just re-
turned from a conference with the
heads of the road in the east and
brings back some very optimistic
views. His company on May l will
install two additional transcontinen-
tai trains between Chicago and Sc
attic. 1t has given orders for 200
fast locomotives, 5000 box cars. 16
standard sleepers, 10 tourists. and
seven lounge observation cars, in
preparation for the rush of business
expected. Railroads are the best
barometers of business; hence, this
activity is taken as a good sign.
