HOUSE SQUABBLES
OYER RPOSTMASTERS
Defeats Proposal to Put Them
Under Civil Service by
Big Vote.

While the House permitted the
clerks pay rider to go to conference
without discussion, there was a big
row over the Senate proposal to put
all postmasters under civil service
This Senate amendment was over
whelmingly rejected by the House
by an Informal vote. When Minority
Leader Mann asked for a roll call 1T
was denied by a vote of 234 to 43,
showing the House strength against
the Senate proposal.
Mr.. Mann favored the Senate
amendment and Majority Leader
Kitchin led opposition to the plan to
put postmasters under civil service :,
which would deny members of Con-
gress a certain amount of patronage.
Mr.. Mann asserted the Democrats
were ready to follow President Will
son, Except when he tries to take .
job away from them"
The House rejected the Senate
amendment requiring that clerks to
House members shall be placed on
the rolls OF the House. At present
the members receive checks for clerk
hire and the clerk is not carried as
q House employe. but as the per-
sonaI employe of the Congressman,
although the Government pays the
bill.
There was much debate about the
dignity Of the House and the pre-
sumption OF the Senate in attempting
to dictate how the House shall pay

Charles Harrison told the meeting
that he could not deliver a speech, as

worked up over the affair that he
might do some one an injustice.
Other speakers who protested against
the whipping said they would try to
be careful and injure no one.
Randolph Robinson, a rendent OF
Cherrydale, bitterly denounced the
whipping. He characterized 1t as "a
step backward to the Stone Age and
a revival of barbarous punishment"

SHOULD SCHOOLS RUN
SIX DAYS A WEEK

Many counties as well as towns are
adopting the plan of holding school
six days in the week this winter in
order to advance the years work q
month so that the pupils can help
more with farm and garden work next
summer. Montrose has just voted
to start this January first, figuring
that there will be just about 20 Sat-
urdays or school month extra gain
ed. Hotchkiss and Delta schools are
agitating the matter and it is quite
the rage east of the range.
There are some points in its favor
even here. OF course, we do not have
a strictly farming community, and
there would be no particular object
of applying it to primary grades, hut
the gardens have to be prepared and
planted in May, there will be short
age of labor next summer to which
this last cannot compare, and alto
gether every wise measure should be
taken to look ahead in order to get
the work done. Each district would
be its own judge. What do our read
ers think of the scheme? Is it worth
while in our mountain region?

Altho Cunnison county exceeded her
quota of Liberty bonds at the drive in

with but S66,900, whereas S79,300
was the minimum. However, some
other county, probably Delta got the
credit of the $4,000 raised at SOM

it out, someone refuses to play fair
