Growing with the passing years, Labor
day has become one of the institutions of
the country. Only a few years old, it is
now generally recognized in every town of
any considerable size. 1t may be added
that the day is the institution of organized
labor, which has done so much to improve
the general conditions of labor. Fewer
pensation, the better conditions of work.
shops and factories and the general better
ment of the wage-earner are very largely
the results of organization. For the most
part. among the higher employments, the
strike and lockout have given place to
arbitration or conference. Some labor or
CARNATIONS in lines of employment in which
the cost of production depends largely up
on the cost of labor have arrived at a sys-
tematic basis for wages, the price of. labor
rising with the price of the goods and de
Ginning with their fall. In recent years
better leadership has strengthened or
ganized labor. Often the leader, as is now

seeker and political manipulation than the
sincere friend of labor. In some organiza-
tons such men are barred from active par
ticipation in their affairs.
The past year has been one of the best
for labor in this vicinity that can be re-
membered. Employment has been steady
and full. and wages have been above the
average The steady worker can maintain
his family in comfort and better his condi-
ton in such years as 1895, 1899 and 1900. The
electric railway and the lessened hours OF
labor have made 1t possible for the wage.
Garner 10 have a comfortable home in the
suburbs. which was impossible years ago
Unless he is unfortunate he can own a
home. which was an impossibilty before
the trolley line made the suburb miles
away accessible.

who march in the procession and their

After all that has. been said in recent
years about the purity and abundance of
the city water supply as obtained from
wells. it is an unpleasant surprise to learn
that the present means of supply will not
meet the growing demand much longer
and that the company expects before long
To draw water from the canal The water
now furnished is better than the average
of cities, perhaps equal to the best and
the company should spare no effort or ex-
pense to keep it up. 1t announces that
when IL becomes necessary to draw on the
canal the water will be made perfectly pure
by sand altering. This optimistic assurance
will hardly satisfy those who know that
the canal supply is drawn from White
river, which is greatly contaminated by
surface drainage and factory refuse dis
charges. If a few wells are adequate to
the present supply, which is unquestiona-
bly, pure, the public would like to know
why additional wells will not furnish an
adequate supply for the future. The COM
munity will not take kindly to canal water,
even though il be filtered

that reason will have much TO do with the
attendance, it is not sufficient to prevent
attendance of itself. because that rate has
obtained but few years. The location

BLUNDERER OR TRICKSTER-
WHICH.

year ago, with estimates for the various
branches of the city service aggregating
sl,13l, $50, Mayor Taggart insisted that a
levy of 50 cents was sufficient. At the time
the Journal showed that there was no
known arithmetic by which such result
could be figured out and it was announced
that Controller Johnson was of the same
opinion. This year. with estimates calling
for an appropriation of sl1Ss.2S5. or only
s57 ,OS5 more than a year ago, the mayor
will recommend levy of 72l2 or % cents on
each 800, or IA cents more than year ago.
AS the taxables in the city are 1923, III, 495,
and the amount to be raised by taxation
! is about sS73,2S5. levy of II cents-2 cents
going to the police and fremens pension
fund-will be scant, because the levy yields
only $S7S,S20, and an amount considerably
less than sS73, 2S5 will be collected within
really the 57-cent levy ends, the treasury
will need at least s25O.OOO to pay out. The
probability is that it viii be nearer $500 600.
This means that with levy of Il cents
Tor current and fixed expenses, temporary
loans must be resorted to a year hence.
The estimates of the different depart
ments are cut to the lowest figure. The
park department has Jared very badly.
The worst lands i'm the vicinity of the city
having been purchased for Riverside Park
by the mayor at almost twice their cash
value he shrinks from the large expendi-
ture necessary to make them other than
worthless. Furthermore. these estimates
contain appropriation to pay off the
temporary loans which the mayor is getting
10 pay the shortage occasioned by his So
cent levy. What does he propose TO do
with the $4,000 or 100000 of temporary
leans? Will he make them practically
permanent loans by continuing to borrow of
the banks on six months paper year after
year?
The recommendation of Il or 73-cent
levy against 59-cent levy last year is
confession on the part of Mayor Taggart
that he is either a blunderer at figures or a
trickster who attempted to deceive the
people year ago The Journal will not
undertake to say under which classification
the mayor will choose to be put, but his
confession makes him one or the other.
