BILL
CHANGES ARE
SPEEDED
Sen. Copeland Aids in Making
Local Measure Conform
To National Legislation

Difficulties surrounding speedy
passage of the Ellenbogen unem.
ployment insurance bill for the
District were being ironed out
today at the office of Senator
Royal S. Copeland CD, New York.
Senator Copeland is chairman of
the subcommittee appointed to
consider the bill as it passed the
House.
For several days Senator King,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, has been rewriting the
bill in collaboration with experts
from the Presidents economic
conference. 1t is understood the
revision will include amendments
suggested by the District Commits
sioners and Washington business
men.
Senator Copeland declared TO-
day he was interested in making
the local bill conform to the
principles of the national security
act, saying:
81 am meeting with experts
today and with Representative
EllenbOgen, to go over the en-
tire matter. / want to find out
what this bill really means and
just how it differs from the
national legislation.
1--WE might works out some
changes at this conference"
It is considered certain that
the / per cent tax from the Dis
trict will be eliminated; that the
pay roll tax will be graduated
over a period of three succeeding
years, and that a local board will
be given control of the fund,
instead of leaving it to the
national administration.

HORN BILL SITS
TOP 0 WORLD

Who was it made that remark
about being a big frog in little
puddle?'
Mr.. Horn Bill-not Bill Horn
who is so common in the East IN
dies that nobody pays any atten-
ton to him, is, judging from his
actions during the past two weeks,
sitting on top of the world.
This, of course, is figuratively
speaking. His favorite perch is a
tree branch.
Ever since he first arrived two
weeks ago, and visitors to the Zoo
started admiring his two TERED
beak and funny neck, he has been
strutting his stuff-and how!
That funny beak and bone beret,
DR.. William M. Mann, Zoo direc-
tor, says, doesn't mean a thing.
AS for his neck feathers, suggest.
ing the need of a haircut, they are
just part Of his beauty.
In fact, Mr.. Horn Bill isn't at
all mysterious. He's just a good
husband and father who builds
his nest in the hollow of a tree
during the mating season and
covers the hole up with mud until
the young ones are Matched.
He works hard providing the
missus and the kids with fresh
meat and fruit. He's gentle, cas-
lily tanned and minds his own bust
ness.
Like some other big guys, his
beak keeps his rivals off automat-
ically.
He lives in swamps and the jun
giles, and as meat and fruit are
easily obtained, he doesn't have
to exert himself much.

ASKED
IN REGULATIONS
At HEARING
Retention of Prevailing Zone
Rates Favored, With Zones
Revised to Aid Drivers

Although favoring retention Of
the 20-30-50-70-cent zone rate now
being used by virtually all local
taxicab drivers, citizen spokesman
asked the Public Utilities Commits.
sion today to change the regula-
tons to give hackers a "better
break"
The third session of the public
hearings to decide a uniform Sys.
tenn of zone rates attracted few
taxicab men, and the hearing was
expected to terminate this after.
noon.
L. A. Carruthers, president of
the Forest Hills Citizens Associa-
ton, pointed out that the taxicab
riding public favors the present
low rate. He protested against
changing the first zone from 20
cents to Is He said:
81 think most people pay rs
cents anyway, but if they had
to pay the additional sum they
wouldn't do it so gracefully"
ASKS FLAT CHARGE
He asked that a flat 20-cent
charge be made for a trip of 10
blocks or a mile regardless of
coming.
Richard Ledger, chairman Of
the Public Utilities Committee, of
the Rhode Island Avenue Citizens
Association, asked that the east
boundary of the first zone be
changed to North Capitol Street,
and that the southern boundary
of this zone be made Constitution
Avenue.
The western boundary Of the
second zone, he stated, should be
changed so that the line of Wis
consin Avenue is continued down
Thirty-seventh Street instead of
following the curve of Wisconsin
Avenue.
This change, he said, would
give Georgetown residents 1alrer
treatment. He protes ed the
charging of more than 10 cents
for a trip within the District
boundaries.
Changes Proposed
To give the hacker better earn.
ings he advocated the establish.
ment of radial lines a mile apart
on the zone maps so that lengthy
trips within one zone will net
the driver more than the 20-cent
fare.
For each radial line crossed
within a zone the driver would
be authorized to charge an add.
tional 10 cents.
Richmond B. Keech, member Of
the Public Utilities Commission,
said the commission will con-

the hearings at night sessions so

Packing Firm Offers
New Plan to Workers

Austin. Minn., March Il. - R -
Faced with shortage Of hog shipments
and other difficulties so acute that
half the employees in hog killing and
cutting departments may be laid off
indefinitely, officials Of the George A.
Horned Co. here have proposed q new
plan to workers.
It proposes the placing Of the more
than 500 employees in these depart
ments on straight weekly wage.
Employees will continue to receive full
wages for the entire period Of the hog
shortage. The Horned company will
keep a record Of the overpayment-
that is. wages paid in excess Of the
actual hours worked.
This over payment will be regarded
as loan" by the company to en-
ployes to be repaid by hours Of work
when conditions improve, so there will
be need for q longer working week. II
conditions do not recover by the third
week of March, 1899. so that overpay-
ment has been paid back to the COM
pany in working hours, the company
will write the remaining balance off
their books.

FREE INSURANCE. TO
Save n. D. $4,000
Hopkins Sees Savings Through
Lowered Premiums Paid
by Institutions

Harold Hopton, state insurance
commissioner, Thursday estimated q
total saving Of more than $4,000 to
institutions under control Of the
state board Of administration would
be effected by provisions Of the new
free insurance" law passed by the
last legislature.
The savings would be obtained
through lowered premiums to be paid
by the institutions through operation
Of the law, he said.
Total amount Of the risks involved
in covering the Is institutions includ-
ing the university, agricultural COL
lege and normal schools, amounts To
s9,557,664. Premiums paid by the
institutions from August l. 1888, ia
August l, 1885, amount to $8l ,598.2l
Under the new system, q total Of
$7,6l0,090 will be carried free by the
state insurance department, at . total
premium rate of $26,72l02 for REIN
surance of the balance Of the risk not
assumed by the department, Hopton
said.
This difference, he claimed, would
result in total saving to the Is insti-
tutions of $54,877.22.
Greatest amount Of premium saw.
ing, Hopton said, would 60 to the
agricultural college at Fargo, where
the net saving would be $7,6N. The
University of North Dakota at Grand
Forks would save $5.456, the state
hospital for insane at Jamestown
STOP. with the state training schoo
at Mandan effecting $6,95l saving
in net premiums.
