Outside of the election of three members
of the Roard of Education and a treasurer
of the district, but two propositions will
be submitted to the voters nt the school
election. One proposition Is to levy a tax
of $25,000 for the Improvement of and erec
tion of an addition to the Avenue B school
and the other to soil the old Clark sehiol
property. The threatened mandamus pro
ceedings to compel the Board of Education
to submit a proposition to levy a tax of
JKi.OOO for the purpose of building a four
ronm school In the loallty between -Thirteenth
and Twentieth street failed to ma
torlallie nnd today the only two proposi
tions decided on by the" board will be pul
Ushcd In accordance with the law.
The Clark school property, which the
board seeks permission to sell, consists of
half an acre and Is located on Bennett
avenue. 'The schoolhouse Is a one-room
brick building which cost originally about
$T.no and which Is now In bad state of re
pair. The school was closed about a year
ago and the children of that neighborhood
are conveyed to and from the Pierce street
school In a carryall, at the expense of the
district, this being found cheaper than to
keep the Clark school open.

WEEK'S PROGRAM IN CONGRESS
Xaval and Army BUI t'p In the Senate
moot Case Scheduled for
Tuesday.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. It Is expected
that both the nnval and army appropria
tion bills will be reported to the senate
during the present week, and It Is Intended
to take them up for consideration as soon
as palble, regurdless of all other leglslai
tlon. and henceforth to give the supply
bills right-of-way to the exclusion of oil
other matters. The army appropriation
bill has been under consideration by a sub;
committee of the military committee for
some time and will be taken up early In the
week. The prospect, however. Is 'that the
naval bill will be the first to secure con
sideration by the senate.
Both measures will meet opposition and
probably will be debated at length. The
bill authorizing the erection of a Jolpt
building for the use of the State depart
ment, the Department of Justice and the
Department of Commeice will be called up
on Monday by Mr. Fairbanks. It Is tder
stood that Mr. Gorman will seek to secure
various amendments to the measure.
Tuesday will be devoted to the bill reg
ulating the shipment of government sup
plies, and In accordance with, the agree
ment reached yesterday a vote will be
taken on that before adjournment that
day.
It Is not expected that the confirmation
of Oeneral Wood will be .considered during
the week, owing to the absence of Senators
Foraker and Blackburn, both of the com
mittee on mllltry affairs and both Inter
ested in the case, though on opposite sides.
It Is the general expectation that the case
w ill receive sttentlon next week. f
At the request of Mr. Beverldge next
Thursday has been set aside for considera
tion of legislation In the interest of Alaska
There are several bills pertaining to that
territory on the calendar. Mr. Beverldge,
however, will not press these bills If there
are appropriation bills ready.
The committee on privileges and elections
will begin Its Investigation Into the Smoot
case on Tuesday, and It-Is also expected
that tho special committee appointed to In
quire into the charges against Senator
Dietrich will proceed with Its work during
the week.
Tho Drxt week In March finds the house
with a very small proportion of the big
supply measures waiting its action. The
naval was the eighth of the general ap
propriation bills that have been disposed
of at this session- The remaining supply
bills will be given precedence over other
measures, as It la the desire of the leaders
to call up all the regular business of the
house as early as possible.
The DliftrUt of Columbia appropriation
bill will be taken up next and then will
follow the Indian appropriation bill. The
time allotted for general debate on these
bills will give ample opportunity for politi
cal discussions.
With these two bills out of the way the
postofflce appropriation bill will be placed
before the house, the consideration of
which will consume some time. In the
meantime the appropriations committee
wi: perfect the sundry civil bill, now In
an advanced state of preparedness for this
time of the' session In order that It may
be taken up at the earliest practicable mo
ment. '

IOWA GUARDS TO GET MORE
Certainty of Vaierial Ohanro in tha Method
' of Malc'cg- Appropriation.
FAVOR PERMANENT CAMP GROUND
Captains nnd Members of the Cor
pontes Express Their Views In
Regard to the Camp
Question.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Feb. 28 - (Special.) The
prospect Is that there will be mnter'al
change In the mdnner of making the ap
propriations for the Iowa National Ouard
by thv present legislature and that the
sums allowed will be Increased. The pres
ent nnnual allowance of the stnte for the
pay cf the men and for all expenses of the
encampments and armories Is ".) a year.
A pending, bill provides for fTS.OOO a year,
or so much of the same as may be neces
sary, and for a definite allowance for the
guardsmen while at encampments. There
was a dehWt ln guard funds last year
which has been . made good by a special
110.000 appropriation already made. This
grew out nf the fact that there was no ap
propriation made to pay armory rent and
drill pay for the men, nnd this was raised
a few years ago. There was also trouble
because the men of the gtiard Insisted on
douhlo pay this year for encampment duty
on account of the provisions of the Dick
bill, under which they were able to get pay
from the I'nlted States ss well ys from the
state. The legislature will change this, so
that they will receive but one pay here
after. The state of Iowa receives a credit
of IT.yiO a year from the I'nlted States for
equipment, but this will all be needed for
new uniforms the next few yeurs. It Is the
Intention of tho ndjutant general to, fully
equip the Iowa guardsmen with three full
suits of uniforms and all the latest weapons
and camp equipage. When this is done the
Iowa guard will rival anything In the country-
Question of Permanent Camp,
In the matter of the. state of 'Iowa ac
quiring permanent camp grounds for the
guard encampments, while this has been
recommended many times and It Is under
stood that the legislative committee of the
guard association Is working to that end,
yet the opinion of the men lo greatly
divided n the subject. Captain William 8.
Hart of Waukon, deeply Interested In the
guard from the fact that ho has long been
identified with It. Iw chairman of the house
committee on military affairs. The subject
of permanent camp grounds was early pre
sented to him, and he has- taken the pains
to secure expressions of opinion' from, the
members of the guard throughout the state
as a basis for some'leglelatlve action. His
correspondence reveals that the men of the
guard are not so much In favor of a per
manent tf-amp aa are tho officers, though not
all ofnears desire H. He sought to obtain
an expression from the men, but the an
swers to his letters sent to company com
manders shows that In only a few cases
did they really get at the views of the men.
A great many of those who desire a per
manent camp ground want It located at or
near the ITnlted States army post and rISo
range south of Des Moines. For Instance,
Captain Parker of Sao City declares:
What tho Iowa National Guard needs and
wants Is a permanent, camp ground near
the regular army post,- where we can re
ceive the benefit of coming in contact with
soldiers and not be sent oflj each year to'
some town to have a Fourth of July picnic.
I believe a permanent camp in Dea Moines
would be the thing."
. .
Nenr an Army I'ost.
Captain Gray Warren of Ida Grove favors
a permanent camp and that "we think the
Idea fit establishing the same adjoining the
I'nlted States army post at Des Moines to
be a fine one, owing to the advantage it
would give the giThrd In the use of the tar
get range at the post and the advantage of
being close to a 1'nlted States post:"
Captain Whipple of Vinton called his men
together and thirty-one being . present all
but three voted for the project, and per
sonally he "would much prefer that the
location be at Dea Moines."
Captain Caughlln of Ottumwa (avors the
permanent camp, nnd "the general oplntnn
of the men In my command is a preference
to locate It nt some river point or larger
city, buj for the general good of the guard
I think It Is far better to he farther away
from such places in order that men may do
their military duty without being entram
roeled with other attractions."
Commanders Favor the Plan.
Captain Cotton of Waterloo' and his men
favor the permanent camp; and- so also
Captain Moore and his men, of Oskaloosa:
and Captain Van Order of Council Bluffs
and the men with whom he has talked; and
Captain Rankin of Muson City; Captain
Harvey, of Washington; Captain Clifton,
of Grlnnell; Captain Daliell. of Newton;
Captain Frisble, of Sheldon; Captain G1U
bridle of Algona, and Captain Lucas of
FairQeld.
Captain Howell, of Iowa City would lo
cate a permanent camp "as near the center
of the stats as possible." 1
Captain Holoteln, of Burlington would
have "not less than 1H0 acres of land, cen
trally located, If possible within the near
Vicinity of Fort Des Moines, where the
state troops, both officers and men, can
be afforded tin opportunity to see how
things are conducted In the regular army."
Various Opinions Ksnrraseri.
Captain Chaiitland, of Fort Podge, favors
the permanent camp ground, 'eap cully
when we can secure It near a regular army
post."
Captain MeCrlllls, of Hampton, thinks
that Cedar Rapids Is a good location for
a permanent camp ground but "Des Moines
has more In its favor than any other city
of the state."
Captain Stanley, of Corning, favors It and
"that the location .of the same at Dea
Moines near the fort would be advUable."
Captain Nichols, of Sioux City, favo'is
the camp ground, "ray men and mysetf beg
leave to state that in our opinion Ct-dar
Rapids would be a nvre desirable place,
providing the state could tecure about 150
acres Including the state rifle range."
Captala Williams, of Osceola, finds a-.-nti-mant
about equally divided among hU men,
but personally he favors the grounds.
Captain Wright, of Centerville, opposes
the idea, because of the greater necessity
for a state arsenal, and "you have all out
of doors in Iowa to camp on and in a pinch
can go to Kansas."
Captain Gooch. of Sioux City, reports that
out of forty-seven mm, only two voted
in faror of the permanent camp grounh,
and he says that the guard "aa It is
equipped now are able to take care of
themselves anywhere, and this Is as it
should bo aa near to the regular army as
possible."
Captain Castle, of Shenandoah, favors a
permanent ramp ground and It should be'
"If possible near a government post, where
troops are stationed. "
Captain Thrift. -of Dubuque, is In favor
of a permanent ground and In favor of
not fixing the plaua but leaving It Uj cuia-

Iowa C'onarrrssloaal Flaht.
The republican congressional primaries In
Polk county, which county control the
Seventh congressional district, are sched
uled fur Monday, the last day of the 1
month; and predictions are freely made
that there will be bloodshed or at least
noses broken on that day. The Interest
has become Intense and there has been

accusations and counter accusations of In

was a big Hull meeting and last night a
big Prouty meeting snd both were ad

years. He has a perfect machine and he
ha the county committee, which named
the election Judge with htm, so that he
virtually controls the election. Captain
Hull Is making the campaign largely on the
