EAST MOLINE HAS
PLAN TO CARE FOR
ITSIDLE WORKMEN

Mayor G. F. Johnson of East Mo-
line has devised a plan whereby the
unemployment situation is being re-
lieved, at least to a small extent.
Each week the street department
force is changed, giving heads Of
families in the geratest distress an
opportunity to work about one week
in four.
The force of men employed by the
street department is not large The
city is undertaking all sorts of jobs
on the streets and alleys, thus kill
ing the two proverbial birds with
one stone-providing employment
and at the same time improving the
city.
The street department was among
the first in the city to recognize the
seriousness of the employment sit
uation, and began to help solve it by
employing only married men on the
payroll.
Now the mayor feels that the
work should be passed around and
its benefits shared by as many men
as il is possible to accommodate.
With this end in view he has or
dered the street commissioner to
make weekly changes in his work
ing force.
In discussing the problem the
mayor suggested that local firms
and factories adopt a similar course.
1T will mean a loss in efficiency,
he said, but the situation is a ser
ious one. Much distress can be re-
lieved by distributing the work, in
stead of giving it to few and leay-
ing the remaining large majority to
/ be unprovided for"

CONCERT PLEASES
LARGE AUDIENCE

Illinois University band, stop
ping in Rock Island last night en-
route to the Illinois-Iowa game IN
Iowa City today, appeared in Aug
ustana gymnasium in concert under
direction of A. Austin Harding.
Seventy-five boys of the band ap-
peared and the concert program Of
nine numbers was doubled to meet
demand for encores. The program
was made notable by the first pre-
sentation of the new nonsense"
number which has taken "Ain't We
Got Fun?" for its thematic motif
Title of its classic composition is
best description OF the number,
which was warmly applauded.
Edwin e. Newcomb, cornetist,
was soloist of the formal program,
although the interlude, which filled
in the intermission time, served TO
introduce group of varsity mu-
sicians and entertainers. 1t was
at this time the university jazz band
appeared although the comic young
man who welded the baton in this
period denied any responsibility
for the thing"
1t was a happy night, and Him
in the audience Joined Justify in the
Illinois songs group which preceded
the Star Spangled Banner" An
audience which filled the main floor,
except for the few rows in the ex-
IRENE front, felt proud of its uni
versity, proud of the young men
who performed in such a credible
manner and happy in having at
tended a band program of music
which varied from the varsity
chants through marches, popular
airs to Tschaikowsky's Sixth sym
phony and Meyerbeer's "Hugenots. '

SCOTT COMPANY
TRAVELS ON TOUR
IN ALL COMFORT

Those who are familiar with the
excellence of the Scott Opera per-
formances, have often commented
upon the fact that seldom has there
been any need to change the casts
of the operas when once announced,
through the indisposition on the
part of the singers. In fact, during
the three years of the Scott Opera
tours, there has never been a last
minute substitution of operas for
any cause whatever. This is almost
an unheard of precedent for trav-
cling opera company. The Scott
Opera company gives a concert at
the Coliseum Monday night.
The reason that Mr.. Scotti's sing
ers are able to keep in physical con-
dition of fitness, is easily explained
No similar organization has ever
travelled with the comfort that Mr..
Scott provides for his artists. The
entire company travels in a special
train of chartered PuIhnans. Every
one of the artists is provided with a
drawing room. Even the chorus and
| orchestra people are given entire
sections-an upper berth is I'M
known in the Scott special. Mr..
Scott is ever alive to the considera-
ton of his people. Last fall upon
one of the long Sunday jumps
through the west, when the COM
pany had already been IS hours on
the train, he arranged with the rail-
road people to have the special
| stop for an hour at a little noun
! tain hamlet in Montana, in order
that the people might Stretch their
legs" and break the monotony OF
the long trip.
This little town consisted of a
grocery store, postoffice and ice
cream parlor. The entire company
swooped down upon the surprised
natives who are still wondering
what kind of strange aggregation
honored them with a visit. In les.
than ten minutes the ice cream es,
adjustment was cleaned out, aAC
the chorus people who seldom visi
| dining cars had well nigh exhaust
ed the supply of canned goods at the
little grocery.

that he was driving his automobile
at the rate OF IS miles an hour on
Second avenue. He was on his way

was arrested, and Walter Flanagan

Against School Tax.

Rock Island, ILL.,, Oct. 15.-Ed-
itor Argus: Having been a reader
of The Argus for IA years, 1 would
like to express my opinion on the
school tax proposition. AS a work
ing man trying to pay for my home
and as a taxpayer, 1 say we ought
to put off school taxation until
things are more settled. 1 think
we could do more at the present
time trying to solve unemployment.
so we could feed the hungry, like
our sister cities are doing.
1 opposed the Jail bonds and I
do oppose this tax for schools at
this time and 1 am going to the
polls and work to defeat it, like
other workmen are going to do. l
don't like this proposition to come
up now, when we are already taxed
to death. l think we can wait a
year at least 1 am for bigger and
better schools, but l think it is al
together wrong to force taxpayers
to increase their taxes. l am posi-
tive that this tax will not carry this
time. I think if we would vote
bonds to keep people from starving
and get the men back to work, 1t
would be a god-send to humanity.
1t is going to be hard proposition
to get people to Vote bonds because
of the Jail bonds, when SIC, 900 was
voted to build a Jail and then most
of the money was spent in lawsuits.
The county board had no right to
use money voted to build jails to
fight lawsuits. This sideshow has
caused people not to forget future
| tax elections. l hear this discuss
ed among people every day and it
shows how people feel about this
matter.
| | feel that if this tax proposition
was put of a year it would carry,
because things would be back to
normal again and 1 for one would
donate a day as a working man
J and work hard for this tax.
know we need a good school system
| but the burden is too great for the
working men at the present time
| Let everybody get busy and help
relieve this unemployment and gel
men back 20 work like our sister
cities. I will thank you for youl
kindness in printing this.
