DEMANDING REPEAL.
 DAYLIGHT SAVING
Threatening to Delay pAssape of HlIl Carrying Needed Appro-
 priations, Republicans
 Force Repeal Rider.

Washington, July 16.-Republican leaders of the house, supported by party leaders in the senate, agreed today to attempt re-passage of the agricultural appropriation bill with its daylight saving repeal rider, de- spite the presidents veto.
 Provisions of the daylight saving law, authorizing the interstate com merce commission to fix standard time zones, however, would not be discarded under the proposal.
 In line with this decision, made by the republican legislative steering committee and after assurances had been obtained that the rules com mlttee would authorize the daylight saving repeal being incorporated in the appropriation bill, Chairman Haughen of the house agriculture committee late today re-introduced the agricultural bill.

Doubt Measure Will Satisfy.

House leaders, although doubting that the re-modeled measure, with the repeal provision, would meet objections of President Wilson, said that many democratic members would join with a majority of the republi- cans in passing the new measure. Chairman Gronna and other members of the senate agriculture committee, they said, had insisted on incorpora- tion of the repeal provision, threaten ing to hold up early passage of the bill without the repeal section
 Although the house agriculture committee had decided not to act on a new bill until Friday, later decis- ion by Chairman Haughen revoked this agreement and the committee was called to meet tomorrow. Con- sideration of the agricultural bill on the floor of the house probably will begin Friday.

Police Sabotage

| The mo fare no ride rule of the munipcal
railway offers no excuse for the police department
TO sabotage on its job
! That's apparently now the plan, to some extent
at least.
/. Let the police make no mistake about the matter.
The public is not going to stand for officers sufing
their work. -.
: And that's what they're doing when they walk
five miles, or even two miles, to their beats, IN order
to show their protest.
: When on official business, the policemen's rides
should be paid for by the police department mat
what the new rule means. 1t does not mean tney
must walk at all times.
If the chief of police or any police captain permits
ridiculous waste of time and the consequent loss OF
.protecton to the various beats by having policemen
walk long distances to and from their beats, they
deserve dismissal There is warrant in the no
fare, no ride" rule for such tactics. 1t is nothing
short of sabotage.
It was never meant that the individual policeman
should pay out of his pockets the fares required
while he is performing official business, such as
poing from the police station to his beat that's q
proper charge to be assumed by the police depart
ment.
We've had enough of this walking strike by the
po]ice. There is no excuse for it. The cher Is
responsible if it should continue.

For crime is breaking Of the law.
War is not the breaking of any human
