TAX RATE BEFORE
 COUNCIL TONIGHT
1WQ-Platoon Matter May Result
 in Fireworks

Discussion upon the tax rate 10 be the inlcuding or excluding of an amount of money sufficient to make possible the esta blshment Of q two platoon system in the fire department will be the. main topics at the Feb ruary meeting of the common council tonight. Routine matters, such as ac- ton upon the payment of bills and the adoption of ordinances, also will come up.
 The board of finance and taxation will present the estimates of the vari- ous city departments minus the amounts of money found necessary to be taken from those figures. The board will recommend @ 30-mill tax rate for the ensuing year. The mat ter will be thrown open for discussion and an effort made to fix a rate suit able to the governing body. If de- cision is not reached tonight it will be necessary to hold meetings every evening until a rate is decided upon. After a rate is fixed, the next step will be it's reference to a city meeting for adoption.
 Opinions expressed by both mem herss of the council and others outside that body estimate the tax rate nc cessary to carry the city from 13 to 3S mills. The 19-mill rate is fla vored by body of men who advocate incrca sod valuations for factory prop critics. while the 3S-nlil1 rate has been spoken of by some taxpayers who feel I1o he fun-n1otnon system should be adopted even though all increase in taxes will be necessary Members Of the finance board have figured that the adoption of that and other inn proVements would make necessary a rate of 3S mills.
 The council has gone on record favoring the principle of two- platoon system and requested the board of finance and taxation to in clude an item under q separate head to be acted upon as such. The item has not been included, but Council man I.anders has notified the council that he will request the privilege of speaking upon it tonight.
 Bills to be submitted for payment are:

A DOGS LIFE

congressional record the next
morning than to spend the entire
afternoon in the chamber.
On days of Importance, both
chamber and galleries present a
very wide-awake appearance. When
the peace treaty was considered by
the senate not long ago, every chair
was occupied, while the galleries
were packed, and overflowed in
long waiting lines in the corridors.
Although the session did not open
until - o'clnch people came at 2
to obtain seats. and stayed until
adjournment at that evening.
They had nothing to eat or drink
during that time, for to abandon a
chair for a moment was to lose it.
Even in such circumstance the
guards manage to keep spectators
reminded that one can only sit in
the presence of the United States
senate.
1t has been suggested that the
senate and house galleries be en-
larged and tickets sold, when i'm
portant debates are on, at prevail
ing theatre prices. This would be
an important source Of revenue,
and might result in a great i'm
provement in the style and quality
of senatorial debate.
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1920-04-02

down the aisles to tell people about
this unwritten law. Even then, d
hat or powderpuff would occasion
ally sail down and hit some portly
and dignified lawmaker on the
nose. Some of the senators be-
came quite nervous about it. But
now, with an abundance of printed
notices, the danger is minimiZed.
The senate, Mr.. Dufault says, is
much more jealous of its traditions
and of propriety than the house,
and any sign Of disrespect on the
part of visitors is quickly resented.
One of the few times on record
when the senate gallery ever got
away from the doorkeepers was
during the recent discussions Of
the peace treaty. When Senator
Lodge was making his eloquent at
tack on the League of Nations,
certain groups of onlookers burst
again and again into loud applause.
Guards suppressed the offenders
twice, and the third time informed
them that they would have to calm
down or get out. Vice President
Marshall, referring to the incident.
smilingly said that he would not
object to the applause except that
none Of it was for him. At this.
Alice Roosevelt Longvorth, who
was in the gallery, started to clap
and spectators broke into applause
for the fourth time that afternoon.
Later, however, Mr.. Marshall de-
creed absolute silence.
Visiting the senate in action is a
formal rite carefully prearranged
to avoid any disturbances. No one
is allowed on the floor of the cham
| Der except the lawmakers, EN-
ployes. the president and his cabi-
net, members of the house OF rep
resentatives, and dignitaries such
as kings and princes, when espe-
Chilly invited.
The loft space around the senate
chamber is divided into eight gal
Ieries. Visitors who attempt to en-
ter are first catalogued and then
assigned TO their proper section.
Only persons bearing pink or green
cards signed by the secretary of
state are admitted to the diplo-
mats gallery. The senator's gal
lery is reserved for families and
friends Of members and its doors
are also open only to bearers OF
special cards.
The first and second rows of this
section are reserved for use of the
president and vice president re-
spectively. Admission here must
be by order of these executives.
The presidents chairs are rarely
occupied except on days of unus-
ual interest, or when some inno-
cent friend of senator wanders
into the front row, wondering why
! the best seats are left vacant. 1t
is only about two minutes, though,
before Pop" Moore, the veteran
custodian OF the executive chair is
upon him. Pop" as the doorkeeper
all call him, is said to weigh 80
pounds, but at the sight of any I'M
ticketed mortal reposing in the
front row of his gallery, he spirits
down with the agility of a puppy
and urges the intruder in agonized
tones to move to less exalted quar-
tiers.
| The press gallery is just over the
speakers desk. This section is re-
served for the 225 newspaper cor
respondents. Back of it are the
press Offices, QUILTED with type
writer's. desks, telegraph apparatus,
and operators and telephones.
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1920-04-02

Local Washington papers have
their own private phones here, and
the big news associations have pri-
waite telegraph outfits. The press is
accorded special privileges in the
senate. Even in the gallery it may
write, and in fact, stools, desk
space and paper are provided there
Besides the sections rallied off for
special classes there is space for
people in general. There is sec
ton for men, and one primarily for
women, to which men are also ad-
mitted. At first, we are told, the
senate transacted its business be-
hind closed doors. Then, at the
insistence of the public, men were
permitted to be present. but then it
was not thought fitting or neces-
sary to provide a place for the
ladies. Later, however, women in
dicated an interest in the nation S
lawmaking, and the rules had to be
amended to admit them.
The galleries are thickly popu-
lated these days. for spring IS
coming, and that is the open sea-
son for tourists in Washington.
Congress is not so entertaining as
it once was. Members no longer
wear curled and powdered wigs,
take snuff, or draw revolyers on
their adversaries. Neither do they
keep their hats on, as we are told
they did up to 1928.
Instead, on an ordinary day, the
senate is a rather prosy place,
where little boys rush about with
glasses of water and notes. and
senators sit chatting or wander in
and out. while a clerk reads some
thing or a lawmaker defends a
routine measure in long and in
volved sentences. From the slack
attendance and air of inattention
people sometimes get the idea that
senators do not attend to business.
the truth is that they have commit
tee meetings to attend. bills to in
vestigate, correspondence to an
swer, and it is easier to read the
proceedings Of dull day IN the

the reprfmand and laughter vtned

chance came to take vengeance On
them refrained. although careful
to reassert my dignity.
After much argument Coo,a
Singh turned his back at last On
the two and twenty and saluted
Ranjoor Singh with great abase-
ment.
"Sahib." said he, I'VE have no
wish to go one way and you an
other. We be of the regiment"
"Ye have set yourselves up to be
dictators. Ye have used wild words
Ye have tried to seduce the rest.
Ye have my leave to go!" said Ran
joor Singh.
"Nay!" said CODA Singh. I'VE
will not go! We follow the regi-
ment!"
will We follow like dogs that
pick up offal them" he asked. and
Gooja Singh said, NAY. We be no
dogs. but true men! We be faith
full to the salt, sahib." said ne. I'VE
be sorry we offended. We be true
men-true to the salt"
Now, that was the truth. THOR
fault had lain in not believing their
officer at least as faithful as they
and ten times wiser. Every man
in the regiment knew it was truth,
and for all that the rain poured
down in torrents, obscuring vision,
/ could see that the general feel
ing was swinging all one way. If
l had dared, would have touched
Ranjoor Singh's elbow, and have
whispered to him. But l did not
dare. Nor was there need. The
instant he spoke again l knew he
saw clearer than I.
"Ye speak Of the salt" said he.
"Aye!" said Gooja Singh. AYE,
sahib! In the name of God be good
to us! Whom else shall be fol-
low"
AYE, sahib!" said the others
Put US to the test."
The lined-up regiment, that had
been standing rigid. not at atten-
ton, but with muscles tense, now
stood easier, and it might have
been a sigh that passed among
them.
Then. until l release you for
good behavior, you three and twen-
ty shall be ammunition bearers,
said Ranjoor Singh. Give over
your rifles for other men to carry.
Each two men take box of cart
ridges. Swiftly now" said he.

Frederic Haskir's Letter
THE SACRED SENATE.
Especial Correspondents of The Argus)

Washington, D. c., March 31.-lt
the senate chamber contains the
seats of the mighty, the senate gal
leries are certainly the seats of the
motionless.
You can travel pretty generally
around the United States and moi
have your liberties seriously inter
fered with. You may not go wad-
ing in Niagara. Falls OF climb the
outside of the Washington monu-
ment without permit, but aside
from a few restrictions of this sort
you can be your natural self almos,
anywhere.
In the galleries of the senate
however, the American for once
ceases to be the nearest human ap-
proximate to perpetual motion, and
! becomes a rival of the cigar store
Indian.
While listening to a senator
make a speech you may not laugh
eat anything, talk Except in unin-
telligible whispers), use your index
| finger to point out your favorite
celebrity, put anything on the rail
use opera glasses, take snapshots,
read, write, address the senate
whistle, applaud. or wave your
handkerchief. This is only a par
tial list, made up from the writer's
personal observation and expert
ence, Of how far a gallery-ite can
go without being stopped by a
| guard. So far, we have rarely
found anybody who got anywhere.
One young man recently arose to
| make a speech to the senate. He
had just opened his mouth, and put
his hand in his vest. when guard
| leaped down three steps at time
and shut him off. In another sec
ond the young man was out in the
! corridor with four doorkeepers
holding him. He was then per
mitted to make his speech in gen.
tie whisper. 1t turned out that he
thought the ghost of Jefferson had
picked him out to show the world
the way to peace. He had Al
American flag in his breast pocket
to wave at the climax OF his ad-
dress. and he was quite broken
hearted that the guards would not
let him go back and show the SEN
ate how to be peaceful.
The list of gallery shall nots'
has gradually accumulated to its
present size. There is no COM
! plete printed copy in existence
None is needed. Every guard
knows intuitively that the minute
a visitor begins to liven up it is
| time to squelch him.
The present man in charge OF the
galleries, J. B. Dufault. has been in
Office only since last June, but al
ready he has added lot of new
restrictions to a supposedly COM
plete assortment. For instance
guides conducting parties of visit
ors through the capitol used to
trail them down the corridors out
side the senate galleries. Some
times It took 10 minutes for big
party to pass a given point, and
while it clattered by, the people in
side would miss 10 minutes OF
senatorial procedure. Mr.. Dnfauil
achieved perpetual quietude simply
! by having the guides go around an
other way during senate sessions.
Another institution OF Mr.. Dn-
fault's is a series of cards inform
| ing visitors in polite language that
the gallery rails are not coat racks
or elbow rests. 1t used TO keen
