OMNIBUS BILL
TO Be PASSED
Republican Invites Congress
man to Share in Pork
To Be Distributed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. rs, (Spl)-Invi-
tations to share in the pork to be
distributed by an omnibus bill author
izing new public buildings in various
parts Of the country have been sent
to members Of congress by Representa-
tive John W. Langley, Republican chair
man OF the house committee on public
buildings and grounds. II IS announced
in these Invitations that the committee
has decided to prepare and report such
q blu' at the present session Of con-
gress.
Immediately after the re~convening Of
congress the different subcommittee
VIII hold hearings on all pending bills,
and | desire TO ask hat you will at
your earliest convenience collate the
a with reference to each proposition
you wish at present, and get in touch
with the chairman OF the subcommittee
having your state In charge TO the end
that we may finish the work at an
early date, says Chairman Langley's
letter.
Ehe data" for which Chairman Lang
ley asks is described in another para
graph Of his letter.
In a case the committee will de-
sire to know the population of the city
or town, the postal receipts, the indus
tries centered there. and, in fact, any
thing tending to show the Importance
of the city and the necessity for a gov
eminent building there" says the letter,
Practically every member of the house
received a copy of Chairman. Langley's
letter, which was in printed form. 1t
is believed that the purpose In extending
this invitation to Democrats as well as
to Republicans was to induce the for
mer to support the bill when 1t m
before the house.
Five subcommittee have been select
ed to hear the pleas for the expendi-
ture of public funds for postoffices,
court buildings, warehouses, hospitals
and the like. Each subcommittee has
jurisdiction over a given number Of
states, including the insular possessions,
1t is expected that they will be kept
busy hearing the arguments of~Tepre-
sentatiyes who want a slice Of pork
for their respective districts. AL ready
a large number of bills contemplating
the expenditure Of many millions for
new buildings have been introduced in
the house, and it is likely that Chair
man Langley's benevolent attitude viii
increase the number.
Chairman Langley's plan of
ing the committees intention to pre-
pare and report an omnibus bill and
soliciting reasons why 1t should be
passed is regarded as an improvement
on the old methods of furnishing pork
to congressmen who want to increase
their chances of reelection by obtain
ing appropriations for their districts.
1t is pointed out in Chairman Lang
ley's letter that mo omnibus bill has
been passed for nearly sever years.
which is a period coincident with the
Wilson administration.

cost of mems wearing apparel. ]. A.

who has always been most active in
all thrift work, is of the opinion that
it is a splendid idea and one which
will accomplish noticeable results.
At the same time it will afford the

Switchboard For
New Phones Arrives

The new switchboard for the Cum
berland Telephone and Telegraph Co.
arrived in Bogalusa Monday, having
been shipped by express and by to-
day it is expected to be in the new
phone building and by next Monday
a crew of experts will be installing
the new apparatus, which will cost
several thousand dollars.
It is expected the board win be in
stalled and connected within As days.
The cables for the outside improve
ment Of the system, if they arrive on
time, will require but 80 days to con-
meet and place in condition, which
means that there is every indication
that the new flashlight system will
be ready for service by July /, or
possibly 80 days earlier, depending
upon the time the cables arrive.
Officials of the company state that
the order for the cables was placed
several months ago and they are con-
fident there will be no delay in Sc
curing this part of the new equip
nlent.
When the new system is ready for
operation it will mean that the citi-
zers Of Bogalusa who have been
wanting phones can secure them
within a few days. The present plant
is already greatly overloaded, the
system being for 500 phones, while
there are 700 subscribers being
served at present. The new system
will accommodate 1000 patrons with
out being crowded" and should
serve the demands Of Bogalusa for
several years to come
Officials promise a great improve
ment in the local service shortly after
the new system is installed and they
likewise expect to increase the tele-
phone rates.

Ask That Police
Jury Rescind Action

At meeting of the Police Jury
held a few days ago a resolution was
passed which brought to an end the
dipping Of cattle in this parish. A
special meeting has been called for
tomorrow in the hope that the mem
bers will rescind their action.
The dipping of cattle has cost
Washington parish many thousands
Of dollars and it is, stated that if the
dipping is continued for another year
Washington parish will. be "tick
free" In the event that the action of
the Police Jury is not rescinded, it
means that thousands of dollars of
the publc's money has been thrown
away. It also means that all the
work and Inconvenience to which cat
tie owners have been put is thrown
away, and that until the state and
federal dipping requirements are
met that no cattle can be shipped
outside the parish. In other words
a federal quarantine will be placed
against Washington parish which will
keep all big stock raisers from locat.
ing in the parish and stock in the
parish can only be disposed Of within
the parish boundaries, according t.
information which the Enterprise
has received. ~
The dipping law has never beer
popular, but on the contrary in sew.
eral localities of the parish there has
been considerable opposition to The
law. On several occasions dippine
watts have been dynamited, stock
owners fined and there has been little
cooperation with the officers in en-
forcing the law.
Inasmuch as it has already cos
the taxpayers a large sum of money
and that it would only be necessary
to enforce the law for another yeal
to free the parish from the cattl,
tick, it is believed by those who have
made careful study of the situation
that the members of the Police Jury
who voted to bring the dipping to {
halt have made a grave mistake anc
that when the federal inspector ap
pears before the Police Jury Frida!
and explains the situation they vii
rescind their action.

Houses WILDE Sold
to Employees Only

eff the Great Southern Lumber
Company would offer their houses at
the same price, terms, etc, to the
citizens of Bogalusa that they pro-
pose to do to the employees of the
Great Southern Lumber Company
and the Bogalusa Paper Company,
they would find a crowd in line wait
ing for the first houses which would
compare favorably to the one you
can expect at the Magic City The
alter on next Tuesday night when
the bathing beauties appear" said
a well known resident to the Enter
prise yesterday. There are probably
500 people in Bogalusa who would be
willing to buy one Of these homes, if
they could, on the proposed plan Of
a small payment and per cent q
month. 1t is not a very nice thing
to have your rent raised, to be NOV
ing about, waiting on repairs and
then paying out money which, in the
course Of few years, would make
you the owner Of the home, but as it
is now you have nothing but batch
of receipts. That a majority of the
employees of the two companies win
take advantage of the offer goes
without saying. Where is there a
man who does not want to own his
own home? To know that he can
make repairs, plant flowers, build adj
ditions and improve the property and
know that he is helping himself and,
regardless Of what occurs, that he has
a place he can enjoy and know that
he is giving his wife and children
protection in the event of death, in
stead of helping the landlord" he
continued.
The complete plans and terms on
which the houses will be sold, as well
as the location and description of
the houses, will be ready for an
lnouncement within the next few days
and inquiries at the office of the
Great Southern has proven conclu-
sively that there viii be more en-
ployes wanting to purchase homes
/ than viii be offered
