through the six year period will
amount to $4,000. By adopting the
bonding plan they can have perma-
nently graded and drained roads
within three years time without a
dollar of additional taxes and can
maintain them. They have found
that the cost of interest on the mon
ey is very small when compared to
the cost of maintaining temporary
roads by temporary repairs until
such a time as money can be secured
out of annual leyies to enable the
Board of Supervisors to make per
manent improvements.

MEASURE PROVIDES
ARMY OF $4,000
Bill viii Be Reported to the 'ouse
'9' This Week. '
REGULAR FORCE OF $4,000
Can Be Increased by the President in
Time Of National Emergency
Strength of Guard Fixed at
425, 900 Men.

Washington, May 15.-The conferees
on the army reorganization bill agreed
on all their points of difference, and
the bill will be reported to the house
this week.
The bill provides a force of $4,000
men at war strength, including regu'
lars, National Guard, Philippine
scouts, signal corps, medical corps
quartermaster corps and unassigned
enlisted men.
The maximum fighting strength OF
the regular army alone, excluding the
auxiliaries, would be $4,000 men and
this could be increased by order OF
the president an additional 20 per cent
or 43,750 men in time of national
emergency.
Senator Chamberlain Of Oregon,
chairman of the senate committee on
military affairs, who has been work
ing on the bill for nearly a year, Is
gratitied at the outcome.
Expect Acceptance of Bill.
1t is not doubted that both houses
will accept the conference report and
the way will then be clear for the
army appropriation bill that will make
the reorganization effective.
The measure agreed to provides that
the increases shall come in five yearly
increments, about the limit possible
under voluntary enlistments.
The present law provides a mani
mum for the army which is rarely at
tanned, and no minimum. The confer
ence agreement fixes a minimum OF
100000 fighting regulars, below which
it will be the duty of the war depart
ment to see that the army never falls
This may be increased to a peace
maximum of $4,000. Besides this in
peace there will be 5,733 Philippine
scouts, 6,409 of the quartermaster
corps, 1920 of the medical corps, 1881
of the signal corps and $3.50 unas
signed enlisted men, total of FOG, 1863
men in peace.
War Strength $4,000.
The important senate organization
plan is retained, so that this force may
be increased without action by con
gress to about 254,000.
The enlistment term is fixed al
seven years, three to be served with
the colors and four in the reserve
with further provision that men with
rating of excellent may be trans
ferred to the reserves at the end Of
one year
The strength of the National Guard
is fixed at 425, 900 men. with the house
provision for federaliZing this force.
Though the volunteer army of the
senate bill is eliminated in concession
to the house, provision is made in sub
stitution to extend greatly the scope
of the Plattsburgh' citizens training
camp provision so as to put war train
ing within reach of comparatively pool
men.
1t is provided that the government
while not paying salaries to men II
training under this system, will pay
all necessary expenses, such as trans
portation, uniforms, subsistence anC
medical attention. 1t Is expected thai
training camps will be organized al
over the country under this provision
The conference report also provides
for government nitrate manufacturing
plants to cost not exceeding 100000,
900, and for vocational education il
the regular army

The idea of restricting the feder
al participation in highway construc
tion to a system of main interstate
trunklines to be located by an ex
pert survey is now supported by the
Representatives of many states and
many congressional districts. The
opinion is growing that in this way
such federal funds as are devoted to
good roads construction will be spent
toward a definite object, the highest
economic results will be realized and
the government will be saved from
condemnation by the public on the
ground that it is pork" legislation.

much more drastic prohibition. The
question involved was as to privileges
given for the benefit of the tourist
visitors of which the CITY has many.
It is true that some women, but by
no means a majority, voted in favor
of the more liberal law which car

in Ellis county, Texas, a meeting
was held and a vote taken to decide
how patrons of the rural mail service
stood on the question of substitution
of, rural motor service for the old
horse and buggy system. Out of l..
$50 votes, 1873 favored the horse We
hicle and II favored retention Of the
new motor service. This vote taken
in Postmaster General BurIesOn's own
state gives a pretty clear idea of the
unpopularity of his new plans rela-
tive to rural mail service.

1t is a well-knOWn fact that the :
mayor would like to have Lampert
associated with the Thompson-Lun-

pert have been pals for years. And
Lampert has a laundering to monkey
with politics. So insiders believe
there may be some chance of them
getting together.
Persons close to the Thompson.
administration figure it would be a.
good stunt to get Lampert in the
mayors cabinet. The bankers
money, his close association with the
other money powers of Chicago and
his strong pull with the trust press
would do a lot to boost Big Bill in
the eyes Of the plutes and the Big
Business politicians who spend their
money on candidates who look like
winners.
Lampert is close to the packing in
