MARSHAL MUST
PAY FOR TAXI
Treasury Boss Hoids Up offIielaPs
Expense Account From This
District

WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept 24.-If
United States Marshal Nicholas f.
Reed wants to ride in taxis from the
train to the station in Des Moines
and Ot.umwa hereafter he will have
to dig down into his pocket for the
fare.
The comptroller Of the treasury,
the head watchdog of the govern
ment strong box, has held that in
these days of democratic simplicity
and two billion dollar congresses, a
street car Is good enough for any gov
eminent official
Moreover, the comptroller has de-
cided that Nick" must disgorge the
sum of $3.50. which had been al
lowed him for taxi hire, and which,
the comptrclleT's decision says, rep
resents Twenty-Five items OF 20 cents
each. covering payments made to the
marshal for cost of bus fare in excess
of what it would cost in each instance
for street car fare while travelling on
official business at Des Moines and
ottumwa."
In explanation of the charge, Mar
shall Reed said that while street cars
at Ottumwa run within a block OF the
depot, neither my office nor residence
can be reached without transfer TO

WANT CHANGES
IN THE LAW
Iowa State Federation Of Labor Does
Not Like Terms OF Present
s RiIf

SIOUX CITY, Iowa. Sept. 25.-
Changes in the workmen's compensa
ton law are considered the mos'
important labor legislation desired
by the Iowa State Federation OF La
Dor. J. H. Strict, president OF the
organization, stated to the United
Press today.
"We will seek an increase in the
maximum and minimum amounts &c
be paid under that law, an extension
of the period for medical attendance
to thirty days in place of the pres
emit two weeks period, elimination OF
reduction OF part OF the present two
weeks waiting period before benefits
start and other changes that will in
sure to the workers injured in the
states industries full payments OF
amounts due them
There will also be introduced III
the legislature in behalf of the Iowa
State Federation of Labor three bills
"a model injunction law, bill re
stricting hours of labor on public
works to eight hours, and bill
authorizing cities and towns to CON
struct all street Improvements, side
walks, sewers and other public i'm
proyements on streets and alleys.
These three bills are already pre-
pared. They were placed before can
didates to the legislature and an Ell
fort was made to line up support foI
the measures. AS result, the led
Grafton officials are hopeful of sue
cess. They expect strong opposition
to the eight hour bin and the mode
Injunction act while private con
tractors probably will make a strong
10 third m q
The federation's complete legisla
five program also contains the fol
lowing proposals:
For building inspectors, creating g
department known as state building
inspectors under the supervision OF
the bureau of labor.
For free text books in public
schools.
For employments OF convict labor
to as large extent as possible in the
building of rural roads.
BARRIERS license law.
Plumbers license law, sanitary
measure.
For the employment of shot firers
by mine operators.
Making it mandatory for employ
ers to provide adequate shelter
against the weather for workers IN
mines, mills, factories, on puolic
utilities and elsewhere.
Providing that a life line and hano
rail be provided on swinging scar
fold or stage scaffold.
Placing truant officers under con
troll of the bureau of labor and for
the establishment of a museum OF
safeguards in connection with the
bureau of labor for educational pur
poses in safeguarding dangerous ma
chinery.

Because Of the extent and difference
In elevation, and because of sea, noun

The assistant observer of the weather

mail-all the rest was German propa-
ganda or German manufactures, the lat
ter variousy designated as newspapers"
or samples" Samples" have been
posted In great volume. Dozens of
watches Of considerable value have been
seized-all marked as samples Other
articles of jewelry, cigarette cases, watch
chains, bracelets, earrings, cuff links and
SO on have been found by the hundred,
all called samples" An official explained
it:
These goods, called Samples really
represent the German effort to keep
their markets A merchant in Pernam-
buco, Brazil, for instance, finds that
he can no longer buy his accustomed
German goods. He says. therefore, that
he will go to America. England or else
where. But if his German house of
supply in Pernambuco can furnish him
with few of the articles he requires
and promises him more by the next
post the German can retain his trade.
And that is the reason why the Ger
mans are willing to pay comparatively
enormous transportation charges, just
to keep their hand in and to keep Ger
man goods on the counters of shops
throughout the world. 1t is impossible
for them to furnish the usual great
supply, and doubtless they are happy
to get through only a few things Thus
their buyers do not entirely get away
from them"
The system of it all is easy. A Ger
