DUT BY CONGRESS
Old Question of What Policy Will
Be Pursued to Come Up With
Military Appropriation Bill.
FRIENDS TO MAKE FIGHT
Those Favoring State Militia Sys
tem Contend Showing Made in
War Justifies Continuance.
Washington. Jan. 4. (WASHIXOTON
BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) The old
question of what policy should, be pur
sued with respect to the national guard,
and. whether state forces should again
be aided and. built up on the lines of
the old national guard awaits decision
-gong with other matters of military
policy.
J The military appropriation bill to be
passed early In the new year has not
sJcen definite form, and it is not ex
pected that It will decide as to the
(rational guard. Before passing- on that
question except in a temporary way,
congress will want to know what is to
happen as to the strength of the perma
nent regular army, and the question of
universal or limited military training.
'V Friends of the national guard organlr
cations promise to make a fight for the
old state system when the time comes.
,They assert that It was justified by the
record made In war by the national
'guard, which responded promptly and
! furnished several hundred thousand
i troops, either fully or partly drilled,
whose training was so far advanced as
to make them available much quicker
, than an army could have been formed
Without the militia system.
The records of the war department
show that 18 divisions were furnished
'from the national guard. 15 of them
rfscnea France, ana several, in the Hois-
A a.. Tl..l 1 1 . X 1 -.1
showed themselves' equal to the best
.German troops!
"The militia bureau reports that the
actual number of officers and men of
-the guard drafted into federal service
was slightly over 12,106 officers and
187,223 men.

School Promotion
Standard for City
Under Discussion
A uniform standard of promotion
throughout the city schools was dis
cussed at a meeting of principals Sa
urday morning in the courthouse.
"There Is entirely too much variation
In the number of pupils promoted in
the different schools," said Acting Super
intendent D. A. Grout, "and It Is our
aim to set a standard range of per
centage.". At present the average number of stu
dents receiving "excellent" is about 18
per cent, and those ."unsatisfactory" is
about 10 per cent, but the percentages
reported from ome of the schools range
tis high as 33. The principals hope to
arrive at a suitable standard by which
to judge their gradings and if their
schools are at !wlde variance with this
accepted - standard, to ascertain the
reason.

AMERICANIZATION OF

A. L Veazie tp Deliver Lectures
on Meaning of Americanism
Each Week.
Americanization work among the for
eigners was started at Jefferson high
and Alblna Homestead schools Thurs
day night, under the direction of A. Ij.
Veazte, attorney, who will talk each
Wednesday night hereafter at both
schools oil the meaning of Americanism
and thV duties of air American citizen.
Mr. Veazie's lectures on the history
of the war which have been Instituted
at Jefferson high are becoming quite
popular, and Mr. Veazie expects shortly
to hold a public assembly at the school
for the residents of the neighborhood.
Mr. Veazie goes from room to room,
giving his lecture to all the different
classes as they are engaged In other
work.
The interest displayed among the stu
dents at Jefferson high night school Is
remarkable, asserts Principal A. M.
Gray. Although the attendance has
fallen off somewhat because of influ
enza and vacatlqns, those who remained
are doing splendid work.
Another reason for a somewhat small
er attendance than last year is evi
denced in the fact that no courses are
given in domestic science, millinery, ma
chine shop and Spanish, and many per
sons who would have attended were dis
appointed in -not getting these courses.
.Now -that vacations are over, Mr. Gray
expects a larger number of pupils.
Night schools are also maintained at
Lincoln. High School of Commerce and
tho Girls' Polytechnic.

HUMAN SAYS RELIEF
NECESSARY AT ONCE
Supervision, Asserts Chairman of
County Commission; Is Essen
tial to Get Full Value.
; "One of the first duties of the county
commission for 1919 is the reorganiza
tion of the relief bureau," said Rufus
C. Holman, chairman of the county com
mission, Saturday.
"We are appropriating more than $20,
000 a year of taxpayers money for the
relief of need, and we are doing It
without providing adequate supervision
or care to see that tie money is effici
ently spent,, and in such a manner as
to help rather than pauperize the needy.
"When I recently made a motion for
the discharge of Henry Griffin as, clerk
of the board of relief on the charge
of inefficiency I was taken somewhat
to task because of my reference to the
unguided purchase of chickens, dainties
and milk at 42 cents for two quarts. It
was made to appear that I desired tou
deny to the needy essential food, and
that I was carping over small details. ,
"I am doing no such thing. I believe,
on the contrary, that every dollar ap
propriated by the county should be spent
in such a way as to bring the greatest
measure of good to its beneficiaries and
the maximum of return from the view
point of the taxpayers.
"Henry Griffin is not competent to
handle the work properly. He was a
bartender before he became clerk of the
board of relief. I am unwilling to be
represented by him In the spending of
$20,000 of the taxpayers' money.. , '
"I believe it is the duty of the county
commission, acting as the county hoard
of relief, to sell to It that service, inquiry
and supervision are exercised in the
county's relief work. Only reorganiza
tion can accomplish the desired end."

CLEVER WQJIK LANDS MAN
Indicted Real Estate Operator Caught
by Portland Man.
Out of the frying pan Into the fire
was the experience of D. A. Hatfield,
an indicted real estate operator, in at
tempting to escape arrest by Deputy
Sheriff Schlrmer who was present at a
hearing in Sacramento, Cal., before Gov
ernor Stephens in which the question
of Hatfield's extradition .was being dis
cussed. Hatfield was present, but 'at
liberty under $2000 bonds. When, as
thfr hearing progressed, Hatfield noted
It was progressing unfavorably he,, as
the officer tells. It. "put on his lid and
pussy-footed out of the room." At the
conclusion of the hearing Schirmer ob
tained l;a state warrant authorizing him
to arrest the man anywhere in the state
and started hot haste for Oakland where
he was informed Hatfield would likely
go. The train had traveled south pf
Sacramento eight or ten miles when "k
stopped at a small station and Hatfield
boarded It with a ticket to a station a
few miles from Oakland where, he In
tended getting off to elude pursuit. He
sat right down beside the officer who
displayed his warrant and placed Hat
field under arrest.
Arriving in Oakland, the deputy was
obliged to dodge ,a habeas corpus writ
sued out ""by Hatfield's attorneys. This
he did by making a quick move to
Berkeley whence he departed with his
prisoner for Portland.
The crime for which Hatfield was
extradited was the alleged signing of a
deed to property which he had previous
ly deeded lo another party. A later
indictment charges blm with -giving a
bill of sale to the Zimmerman, Wells
Hardware company for a donkey en
gine which he did not own.
Hatfield is held at the county Jail in
default of $5000 ball.

Washington, Jan. 4. (1. X. S.)
"Who's who and what's what in far
away Alaskan politics" continued to oc
cupy the attention of the house today
while urgent legislation. Including the
rivers and harbors bill, the Dent army
contract bill and other legislation, re
mained sidetracked.
Charles Augustas Sulzer. (Democrat
and former resident of New. Jersey)
whose election as congressional delegate
from Alaska on November 7. 1916 more
than two years ago has been bitterly
contested by the Republican opponent,
James Wlckersham, ever since, renewed
his plea that he be not unseated as
recommended by the house elections
committee. No. 1.
Despite the recommendation of the
committee, Sulzer was given "unlimited
time" in which to address the house at
the suggestion of Representative Wil
son of Louisiana, its chairman.
Sulzer, with a huge map of Alaska,
as an appropriate background, started to
speak at Friday s session of the' house,
which started with the Alaskan case.
When the house adjourned Friday night,
Sulzer was still providing the few yawn
ing members who remained with an elo
quent description of the Indian vote. of
the territory he would represent at
Washington.
When the house reconvened today Sul
zer started to talk again. He signi
fied his attention of "doing considerable
more talking.'.' Representative Mann,
Republican teader, desired to know "for
how much longer?" Sulzer assured him
that he "really could not tell."
Sulzer for more than two years now
has fought to prevent himself from be
ing: unseated inthe house. His contest
ed term would expire with the present
congress on March 4. next, in the event
of the house refusing to follow the
recommendations of the Wilson com
mittee. ' i.
