6eld force for spreading the gospel of

field force for spreading the gospel ot permanent government insurance.
 This insurance is not for everyone it is only for the former service men and women of our army, navy and marine corps. Congress wanted them to enjoy certain privileges. of life in surance protection during the war. and it wants them to continue the protec- tion now that peace has come. The terms of government insurance are low, the provisions liberal and attrac- tive, and behind every policy stands the security of the United States.

TAXPAYERS AIM DRIVE AT THE HEALTH DEPT Board of Public Works Also Falls Under Hammer of
 Organization.

The Taxpayers association has come out today with ain attack on the policies of the board of public works the charity board, the board of health and the park comm ission for the man. her in which they have been handling city finances, claiming that. in most cases, there has been a lack of sound business Judgment
 In their attack on the health board the association cites the action of the commission in leaving the. board with out a doctor as superin tendent for two months. The executive commit tee has the following to say concern- ing that mission:
 We haven't had a superintende t physician in two months and when Dr. Moore got through in Novem ber 1918, there wasn't doctor appointed until the next February and Chairman Camp put in a bill to the council for his services as doctor. If Chairman Camp Is good doctor, why we are all right
 For the hog house at the town farm, the charity board is raked over the coals. The committee claims that $500 was appropriated, $500 was spent and the commission now seeks S4OO more. Also. the $2O,0 barn with out livestock is discussed, as is the testing and killing of cattle following state tuberculin tests.
 According to the committee, the city has had a. few stakes driven in Ellis street as a result of $15.O00 ap- propriated for that work. The pur- chase of automatic sprinkling carts is advocated as a money saving meas ure.
 The requests of the park commits sion for $34.500 is not favored be- cause of the amount of money involv- ed. The project is all right the com mittee says, but for the fact that the poor taxpayer must be heavily as sessed for the work

CITY IS UP AGAINST IT
 TO GET NEW ENGINEER
Suitable Successor to w. H. Hall Wouldn't Come At
 Less Than $7,500.

The board of public committee se- lected to secure successor to William IT. Hall. who recently announced his res; gnatjon as city engineer, is not meeting With any great success in se- curing the kind of an official the re- quirc1entG call for. Chairman E. N. Humphrey said today that of the 1o applicants for the place, but two had the practical experience that the local job requires. and both of these candl- dates would not consent to be consld- cred for the place unless the remu- neration was S7,500 a year. The present salary of the engineer is $5.000 He asked for an increase Of $1,000 for the coming year. and then decided to enter in the contra ctin9, business. The salary committee left the salary at it's present figure.
 The entire board feel that the ser vices of MT. Hall at this time are in dispensable for the reason that he has had considera ble to do with the planning of the water main work in Burlington, a big task. which with his resignation becoming effective at this time would have it's effect on this work alone.
 Mir Hum phrey set at ease reports that have been circulated to the ef- feet that on April l he was to sever his connection with various city boards, to devote his entire time to his position general superintendent 2 t the Traut X Hine Manufacturing com- pany During his remarks, AIr.

Meanwhile R. R. Union Of- fcials Gather and Bitterly Assails Its Provisions As Big Step Backwards.
MAY ASK PRESIDENT
 TO VETO MEASURE

Washington, Feb 23.-The confer encesreport on the railroad bill passed Saturday night by the house was called up in the senate today by Sem ator Cummins, chairman of the inter- state commerce committee. who ob- tained unanimous consent for it's inn mediate consideration. Its speedy adoption was predicted. Presentin g the conference report, Senator Cum mins emphasized that the rate guar antee section did not take dollar out of the public treasury
 Cumnlins Defends Bill.
 Tn order to prejudice it among the people it has been termed a guaranty of income,'' he said. This is not true. There is a guaranty in the bill of the stand return and against de- fcits continuing for six months after the railways are returned to their owners; but it's necessity is obvious
 The rate making section is not 9 guaranty. Not a dollar is to be paid from the treasury on account of it's provisions, and no obligation whateve,. on the part of the government is ere ated."
 He said the bill merely directed the interstate commerce commission that in so far as was pra cticable it should make rates that would yield a net op- erating income of , F per cent upon the true value of the railway prop erty.' The income would depend wholly upon location of the roads, the Iowa senator pointed out, assertin g that some roads would earn not more than two per cent.
 Discusses Anti-Strike Section.
 gro call it a guaranty is to be either malicious1y false or stupidly ig- norant," he declared. Discussing the anti-strike section on which tie sen ate conferees yielded. Senator Cum - mins said they yielded simply to su- prene necessity and that they recog- nized that a railroad bill had to be passed by March i or ''chaos would ensue."
 Union Men Opposed.
 President Wilson's proposal for settlement of the railroad wage con- troversy and the compromise rail road bill, pending in the senate were bitterly assailed in the conference here today of the railroad union of ficia1s and grievance committeeman who were called to Washington to discuss the settlement policy laid down by the president
 May Ask Use of Veto.
 Indications were that a strong ele ment perhaps, a ajorlty, of the union leaders, would demand that railroad labor stand together in an appeal to the president to veto the Cummins- -Esch measure because of it's labor provisions. Some regarded it destroying all progress made during the negotiations with Direc- tor Gen. Hines towards a settlement of their demands for higher pay.
