TAXES, NOT ELEVATORS.
Labor bureau Is Busy with the
Statistical Work.

Labor Commissioner Powers has started on
a new tack. He is gathering statistics to
show whether or not taxes are equitably dis
tributed on rich and poor. The compilation
of the figures will take some time yet, but
Mr. Powers is much interested, and will pur-
sue the matter to the bottom. Some critl-
csm of the department has been made on the
ground that the accident at the Thurston
building Friday should not have occurred un-
der a proper enforcement of the factory In
spection law. but the labor commissioner does
not heed these at ALI. He declares that they
are the work of political; enemies, ,-whe are
inclined to be eaptious, and who magnify any
tri1ing accident which may cause the loss
perchance of only one or two human lives,
while entirely losing sight Of the Importance
of a work which future generations will reap
large benefits from in the equitable olstrl-
button of the burdens of government in pro-
portion to tie enjoyment which the taxpayer
may share.

WOMAN AT THE BAR.

Not Misdemeaner in the Eyes of
Judge Twohy.
Judge Twohy yesterday again up
held the right of a woman to refresh
herself at the bar by discharging
Christine Brummel, arrested by officer
Greiman on the charge of drunken
ness. The policeman testified that the
woman was taken into custody for
staggering about the street in help
less condition, but the accused de-
clared that she had been arrested
simply because she had visited
saloon. She went into the front en-
trance, she said, and took a drink as
r7en are accustomed to, and as she
claimed she had a perfect right to do.
