Especial Moline Servlce.1


A foundation will be built under

the heating plant Will be put in or

be made so that part of the build
ing might be used as temporary
quarters for the city clerk, the city
engineer and the police magistrate
of East Moline.
This was decided at a meeting
of the building and grounds com
mittee Of the East Moline city coun-
Gil this morning. Other improve
ments will be made from time to
time as the city is able 10 finance
them, until the building is wholly
adequate to be used as a perman-
ent city hail.
The committee rejected the plans
of WhittsiI & Schulzke, architects,
for remOdeling the building at d
cost of $4,000. believing that it
would be asking too much Of the
taxpayers to carry a bond issue for
that amount.

The Milk Question.

Rock Island, H., Nov. 19--Editor
The Argus: He whom the gods
wish to destroy they first make
mad" A few days ago one of the
so-called big milk dealers of the
city visited the city officials in ses-
sion, unlimited, and undertook to
give them a good calling down on
the subject of pasteurizing milk.
claiming that the officials were
not enforcing the city ordinance rec
quiring pasteurizing.
1t is due to the public 10 know
that there is no such ordinance in
the city, neither is there any state
law, to sustain such an ordinance.
Ninety per cent of the people do
not desire pasteuriZed milk but
they do demand, rightfully, clean.
pure, whole, raw milk. Dealers in
pasteuriZed milk should tell the
public why they pasteurize when
they are not compelled to do so
under the law, when it is claimed
to be an expensive process.
Large milk dealers gather their
milk along thelcountry roads from
various forms, which are found to
be in various conditions and OF diff
ferent ages.
The claim is made that pasteuri-
cation is an expensive process and
therefore should increase the cost
of the product to the public. There
fore, why under existing general
economic conditions should the
people be forced to pay a higher
price for pasteurized milk when
they are able to procure clean
pure, wholesome milk and cream
delivered under the protection Of
an efficient inspection department
at a lesser price?
Why drive from our midst men
with families who are attempting
TO make an honest living. selling an
honest product, produced by hon
est effort? A MILK DEALER

Washington News Bureau.
Rock Island Argus.

Washington. D. c., Nov. 19.-Op-
posing interests in downstate ILL
uois lined up this week for and
against the Lehlbach bill, reclassi-
fying federal employees, which was
under debate in the house during
the week.
A protest against the enactment
OF the bill in its original form was
hled with Illinois congressman by
n. P. Alias, president of District
No. A, International Association
of Machinists, a former employe OF
the Rock Island arsenal.
On behalf of the machinlsts en-
ployed in the government navy
yards and arsenals. Alias recon-
mends that Section s of the bill
be stricken out" He contends that
section s, which provides for a
wage commission OF three members
to be selected by the president, is
not an impartial tribunal for fixing
She wages of government employees.
After pointing out that the en-
ployes do not choose their own
representative on the board" but
that the latter, selected by the
president from among the employees
serves only during the presidents
pleasure, Alias states in his pro-
test:
The decisions of the wage board,
even though they were favorable
TO the employees, are subject to re-
vision and approval by the bureau
of the budget, which has been ere
ated primarily for the purpose of
retrenchment and effecting econo-
mics. Increases in wages would
be in general looked upon with
disfayor by the board"
Graham Opposes Bill.
Representative William !. Gra-
ham of the Rock Island district
announced this week his opposi-
ton to the Lehlbach bill.
Until the soldiers of the late
war are paid a bonus. l am against
any further payments OF a bonus

tive Graham declared The re-
classification bill adds the bonus
permanently as a part of the basic
pay of federal employees"
Endorsements OF the Lehlbach
bill were filed with Representa-
tive William A. Rodenberg, East
St Louis. this week by the Cham
Der of Commerce of East st. Louis,
Francis A. Tiessier, secretary of
the Illinois Retail Merchants asso-
citation. and Richard Nash, John

returned from the Burlington sta
ton the front door was wide open
and the pane of glass in the door
was broken. The theory is that
the glass was broken so that the
door could be unlocked from the
inside.
The Job is considered daring be-
cause of the location of the ware
house. almost in the heart of the
business district, because the burg
lars used the front door and be-
cause of the early hour.

Chances are the men, finding out
how badly they we're fooled, decid-
ed to sink the box in the Missis-

packages to and from the railway
stations.
This was the second time within
