Several Important Ordinances We're Passed
Last Evening.

Several Important ordinances were fassed
Last Evening.
City council met last evening with
every member present. An ordinance
was passed taking out of the hands of
the district attorney the matter of pre-
pairing deeds for city property and
placing it in the hands of City Attorney
A. B. Renehan, limiting his charges
therefore to $l.5O where there has been
only one transfer during the past ten
years, and to So. so for those cases where
there has been more than one trans
fer.
A city Jail has been provided on the
Fort Marcy reservation through the
courtesy of Indian Agent N. S. Walpole
who is custodian of the reservation.
The matter of the last levy for city
taxes was discussed. 1t is claimed by
some parties that the levy is illegal be-
cause it exceeds the legal limit of ten
mills. The matter was referred to the
city attorney for investigation. If he
deems the levy illegal, a special meeting
of the city council will be called to
make a new levy in accordance with the
law.
An ordinance relative to the survey
of the city was adopted.
G. M. Dettlebach was given the con-
tract to put up street signs at every cor.
ner. When this is done the houses will
be numbered and an attempt will be
made to secure free mail delivery for the
city.

Arbitration.

Compulsory arbitration seems i'm
practicable in. this country although
one state has recently passed statute
practically providing for it in the case
of strikes on railroads, but 1t is prac-
teal for the law to step in and provide
the machinery for voluntary arbitra-
ton when the parties are both willing
to agree to such a method of settle
ment, and the law can also provide for
attempts at mediation. These provis-
ions have been made by many of the
states, and the following is list of
those legislating to greater or less
extent upon this subject: California,
Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana,
Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, Montana, New Jersey, New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Wis
consin, Wyoming. The majority OF
these acts provide for the formation
of permanent state board of arbi-
tration before which, by mutual con-
sent, disputes and controversies be-
tween employees and employers may be
arbitrated.

REPUBLICANS "KUSS" MACRUM

Let us not get excited about Macrum
or anything Macrum says. The prob
abilities are that he isn't worth It,
1t he were made of the right kind OF
stuff for the diplomatic service he
would have entered his protests to his
own government, and no inducement
whatever could have pulled out Of him
statements like these, calculated, If
they have any effect at all, to en-
barrass his own government in main
tanning it's proper attitude of neutral
ty.-Minneapolis Journal.
You are on the right track, brother.
You must blacken the reputation OF
Macrum or he will blacken the repu-
tation of your corrupt organization.
You say he should have entered the
protests to his own government. He
couldn't do that by mail, for the Brit
ish censor plundered every mail and
read every official letter. He came
thousands of miles to do just what you
say he ought to have done, and when
he reached Washington he was ignored
and insulted by the administration.
Why, talk about the attitude of neu-
trality when Macrum is turned down
because he did't want to do the dirty
work of England and the young Mr..
Hay is promoted because he was will
ing to serve Great Britain and was the
lick-spittle son of toad-eating father.
Macrum is not the first Republican
who has been ostracized for too faith
fully serving his country. Attorney
General Monet was turned down be-
cause he prosecuted the Standard Oil
thieves in Ohio. Our noble president
will punish any man who resists Brit
ish oppression or opposes the interest
of Rockefeller and the rest of the kerr
osene crowd.
