Ak For ''Pork Barrel"
Public Building Commission Expected
To Recommend Ney Plan of
--:z -Conatrl, cfion.

Washington, Jan. TO- Basis for ac-
tion by Congress to rid itself of the
burden of the ''pork barrel and clear
the way for uniform and less costly
construction of public buildings will be
furnished soon in a report from the
Public Building Commission created
by the last Congress to look into the
manner in which the Government erects
its structures.
Among the proposals which the COM
mission has under consideration are the
creation Of department of public
works and the establishment of q new
system of estimating in connection
with public buildings. A public works
department, members of the commits
sion declare. would lead to more uni
form construction and decrease in the
cost OF maintenance of Federal build
ihgs. Some members of the commits
sion are hopeful that eventually Cong
re8s will allow the head of a depart
ment Of public works to map out his
own public building program and to
make no appropriations except those SO
recommended.
The commission is expected to show
that Congress- and the taxpayers alike
are dissatisfied with the present scheme
for the authorization of buildings and
demand leas expensive structures, as
we'll % edifices better suited to transac-
ton OF Government business. Modern
ONCE buildings promise in the future
70 push out the monumental type now
in favor in smaller cities, and the Gov
eminent may cease to build Greek
temples" for postofices and the care
Of parcel post,
2 The commission viii express the hope
that Congress will be less liberal in the
future and cut down It's average OF
$1,000. 900 month for public buildings
to q more reasonable figure. 1t is ex-
pected to point out that in some instan-
Co $4,000 has been provided for q
building in villages of fewer than i, 600
Inhabitants.
Another step to be suggested to Con-
Eress is the abandonment Of the policy
to make use only of corner lots and to
eliminate the 40-feet FIRE limit on all
sides Of public buildings, both of which
requirements are now required by Law.

A BAD RULE

An incident happened in town
Tuesday afternoon that should not
pass unnoticed. We refer to the
refusal of the Southern Pacific to
permit DR.. West to 60 to Deeth on
No. 10. He had received word of
the injury of Horace Lanes boy
and tried to take No. 10 for Deeth
and wes refused because the train
did not stop there. AS a result he
was compelled to telegraph DIR.
Olmstead at Wells to attend the
Young man. This caused q delay Of
two hours in the arrival of a physi-
clan at the.yGung mans home. Dur
ing this time he was bleeding pro-
fusedly and suffering great pain.
While we do not know the rules
of the railroad company MOI the
orders conductors work under, yet
it seems to the ordinary person that
in such cases as this physicians
should be permitted to ride on any
and all trains and that conductors
should have the right to stop their
trains at the physicians destination.
We understand that this matter
will not be permitted to rest and
hope it will result in more liberal
rules of the company in cases of
emergency such as the Lane case.

The center piece, oval in shape,
rises from a foot very similar to
that Of the punch bowl. The shield
of the United States appears at the
ends Of the center-piece flanked by
cornucopias, emblematic of plenty.
Seaweed and wave decorations are
repeated, both at the base and flank
ing the seal Of the state Of Nevada
and the navy seal on the reverse.
