Municipal Bakeries.


In the Swiss town of Basel there is
now service of municipal feeding bot
ties for babies, and Glasgow runs golf
links, but Catania, in Sicily, has car
ried socialism just step further by
starting municipal bakeries. These
bakeries make speciality of bread,
and the experiment Of starting them
has turned out 80 we'll that the munic-
ipality Is able to sell the staff of life at
about two-thirds of the price formerly
the standard in the town. It pays ita
bakers higher salaries for shorter
hours than obtain in private establish.
ments and still makes profit.
Catania, with a population of about
100000, undertook this work last Octo-
Der because Of the greediness of the To-
cal bakers. The price of bread had
been outrageously high, and at last the
municipal council, headed by the may
or, ordered that reduction of II per
cent be made. The bakers struck as
one man. And then the municipality
opened bakeries. These shops have
been success. For time the private
bakeries showed fight, but now most of
them have gone to the wall. There is
no mourning for them, however, as it
is estimated that the municipal bake
shops save the public about $1,000 q
day.

MAKES WIFE WORK AS HORSE.
Nebraska MAJ Threatened - with
Lynchins for Hitehtns Her to Har- +
row When Short OF Animals.

Joseph Holdoebler, q native of Aus
tria, was recently bound over to the
district court under $500 bonds for
wife beating at Randolph, Neb. His,
onense was brutal and the people Of
Randolph declare they will lynch him
if the court does not do justice in the
case.
Holdoebler came hero early this year
and with $500 of his wife's money
bought machinery and rented a farm
near by. Mrs. Holdoeblez is slightly
built. but Holdoebler used her for g
horse when he was short Of animals.
A specific instance was referred to in
the trial. when Holdoebler hitched his
wife to a disk harrow one Sunday. He
carried rope, and when she Jagged
behind the horses he logged her with
the rope. She then escaped to a neigh
boris with her six-months-old baby.
1t also developed in the trial that
Holdoebler advertised for another wife
and read the answers to Mrs. Holdoe-
bier to torment her. In the courtroom
Holdoebler crawled about, clfnging to
his wife's knees and begging for
mercy. The wife at last refused to lis
ten to him, and he went to Jail.

Editor De Tuncq of the Murdoch
Voice in this last issue goes after
the blind pig in his town in the follow
ing emphatic manner: -. .
The selling of intoxicants against
the will of the majority of the people
OF village must be stopped.
The owner of the building in which
intoxicants are sold is liable under
the law.
What has been done in other cities
and villages in the state in the matter
of closing blind pigs can also be
done in Murdoch.
Let the law be enforced without fear
or favor.
Close the blind pig? let it be eradi-
Gated from our midst.
1t is neither needed nor wanted.
1t is an eye sore and disgrace to
the community in which it exists.
All citizens who have the best in
-terests of the village at heart should
move in this matter and make it so
warm for the blind pigger that resides
in our midst that another location
would be looked for.
There is no longer room for a
blind pig In this village.
That is the way to talk. If the
Voice can stir the people of Murdoch
to action the days of the blind pig
in their town will soon be numbered;

Republican Grating.

Here are several examples of the
methods by which Uncle Sam provides
sinecures for republican ofice-ho]d-
ers. The revenue collector at Galens,
Illinois, gets $3.50 per annum. In the
last five years his yearly collection
did not exceed 81 so. The average re-
ceipts of the custom house at Abe
marie, N. c., have been $3.50 q year.
The collector of the port receives COM
pensation amounting to 81, 200 q year
and his assistant draws about $500.
Similar conditions prevail in customs
Offices at La Crosse, Wis.,, and other
ports, and yet these stealipgs 60 on
year after year in order that some
pet of the administration may be pro-
vided with snap. All these offices
could be abolished, "for the good Of
the service" We CLEAN the above

Some of the opponents of reforms
that tend to place the government
nearer the people are havinya jubilee
because the referendum was killed by
the suprme court in Oregon lately.
The referendum was not killed because
it was unconstitutional, but because
the prescribed legal forms had not
been exactly followed in it's adoption.
AS the politicians are not very fond
of any laws that deprive them of
some of their power it is very likely
that these ''msitakes'' were Intention
al. This defeat should not cause any
of the advocates of the reform to
falter in their work, but should make
them more watchfnl so that they can
in the future prevent the politicians
from perpetrating any more such
tricks. =. ~1...us,ss..> ~ f.. 49,.
Another thing in the Oregon case
that the opponents of the law point
to with ghoulish glee is the fact that
some corporations attempted to- use
the referendum for evil purposes.
That was to be expected. There
enemies of the people will certainly
use every endeavor to make 3 good
law unpopular. But # the people
will keep vide awake and look out
