Idaho Figures In Appropriation Bill

Idaho Figures In Appropriation Bill
Washington. D. c.. Feb. 1.-THE
good roads appropriation bill calling
for an appropriation of $25, 000, 900
has passed the House Of Representa-
tives. As the bill is now drawn the
distribution of the appropriation car
ried by the bill will be made upon
the basis OF the population and num-
Der of miles of star routes in each
state.
1t is estimated that Idaho's share
of this will be only about $4,000.
Representative Mondell Of Wyoming
| introduced an amendment in the
House calling for the additional item
of area taken in connection with popu-
lation and star routes in making the
division of the money, providing for
the distribution to be made by the
several states appropriating an amount
Of money to be spent along with the
amount of money given by the Fed
eral Government according to the
ratio that the cultivated land in each
state bears to the total area of
land in the state. The administra-
ton steam roller in the House, how
ever, refused to consider the Mon.
dell amendment, and the fight will
now be carried into the Senate by
the Wyoming senators aided by Sena
tor Brady of Idaho and other western
senators. If their efforts are sue
cessful, Idaho will come in for he1
fair share, which will amount to near
ly half million dollars.
In addition to this Senator Brady
has pushed his Thirty Thousand Dol
lar appropriation bill for the compile
ton of the Boise Yellowstone Roat
from Ashton to Yellowstone. The bill
is now up for consideration before the
Committee on Agriculture in the Sen
ate, of which Senator Brady is ;
member
State Land Commissioner Georg'
A. Day and Secretary Dietrich of thu
Upper Snake River Valley Goot
Roads Association, are in Washington
They have appeared before the DE
partment of Agriculture and the In
terror Department with Senator Brad
and Representative Addison T. Smith
and will go before the committees t.
which road legislation has been re
} ferred in an endeavor to secure
larger appropriation of money TO
roads in Idaho.
J The western states have been give
J additional representation in the Ser
ate on the Public Buildings an
| Grounds Committee in the appoint
} ment OF Senator Brady of Idaho a
member of that committee. 1t
reasonable to expect that Idaho an
the western states will now be give
better consideration in the passage G
legislation providing for additional pu
! lie buildings in the west.

Walter johnson and Clean Living

Walter johnson and Clean Living
Some days ago. Representative Bur-
ton L. French delivered an address
in the Y. M. C. A. Lecture Hall to
High School boys of Washington on
the general subject Of Clean Living"
MIR. French so we'll knew the habits
of the famous base ball pitcher, Wal
ter Johnson, that he wrote him a
letter prior to the address asking for
statement from him Of his personal
habits to use in connection with the
address to the young men.
The youngsters did not know that
a word from Walter johnson was COM
ing, but from the effect the letter
had upon the audience it was clearly
apparent that the High School boys
of Washington, D. c., at least, re
gard Walter Johnson as rather. a

Time.
IS ON A UNIQUE BASIS

= u 4 y
In order to promote the keokuk
.pirtt. a plan is to be tried in which
every Thursday noon. get-together
luncheons will be held at the Hotel
Iowa. The first of these will be CIV
en- this week It is hoped to bring
about better amalgamaticn Of the
Keokuk spirit among the men who
will attend the lunches. prelim-
mary luncheon was held at the Hotel
Iowa last week, and the plan was
preached there. 1t was decided to
give it try-out
The plan is good one, and Will in
sure big gathering Of Keokuk men
as the weeks go on. Each man who
Is present on one Thursday is urged
to bring another man the following
week. In this endless chain fashion,
the attendance cannot help but grow.
There will be no invitations because
everybody is expected to come on his
own motion, and because he wants to
be part OF the boosting spirit OF the
city. To have an invitation list
would be to spoil the idea Of the get
together luncheons. They will be In
FORMAL ana Will De dttcAOCu ~ e1AS'SS
who wish to become part OF the
boosters Of the city.
The talk at the luncheons will be
about what is being done, and what
is to be done for the good OF the
city. Free discussion along this line
it is believed viii be a great aid to
the solution of some Of the problems
OF the city. Men viii hear what
Others have to say. and can in this
manner form some idea Of what each
one can do, himself.
The plan is intended to be entirely
disconnected from the Keokuk Indus
trial association, or any other organ
ization, and to be entirely q peoples
movement for everybody who wants
| to get into the good spirit of the COM
munity. While the regular so cent
luncheon will be served. the men who
are part OF the get-together luncheon
will be seated in group. in the din
ing room where they can talk togeth-
| er
Some OF the men who have the
good OF the city at heart believe that
this is the best way to get the Young
men of the city together. and this
luncheon plan is primarily to get
many of these younger Keokuk boost
ers into the swing OF things.
