Trades and Labor Assembly Expresses
Itself on Waterworks Situation.

Topeka's union labor interests are
making business pick up for the mem
hers of the city council who are fight
6ng city ownership of waterworks. In
addition to the resolutions favoring the
purchase of the plant which have been
passed by a number of different I'M
ions, the Trades and Labor assembly
has had a committee appointed to draft
resolutions expressing the condemna-
ton of the union men in general upon
the action of the council in refusing to
buy the plant The resolution is as
follows:
Whereas, We believe it to be to the
best interests of the citizens of -opeka
for the city to own and operate the
city water plant; we believe further
that the plant purchased even at the
contract price of 100000 will ultimately
prove to be paying investment
therefore be it
Resolved, That we call upon our city
the purchase of the waterworks by
complying with the terms of the city's
contract and buy the plant.
Resolved, Further that in view of the
fact that the people have on two sep
arate occasions, by their votes, in
strueted the city administration to
buy the plant. we can see no other hon
orable way in which the council can
principle that the created is not great
er than the creator. Gentlemen of the
council. you are created; the people IN
their sovereign capacity are the crea-
tors. We believe that the will of the
people as expressed by their vote for
the bonds and for the purchase of the
waterworkS should be cryStaliZed into
law by their servants (the councilmen)
whom they have instructed.
Opponents of the purchase of the
water plant can learn a valuable les
son in public economy in the operation
Of public utilities by referring to the
record of Topeka's city electric light
plant which was established in 1887 or
II years ago, and after that length of
time we find the average cost per light
to range from $40 to $50 per annum
as compared with $50 to $3.50 per light
per annum in privately owned light
plants in other cities of similar popu-
latien-
The wage Garner as a tax payer di-
rect or indirect is vitality interested in
this problem of public utilities. We
contend that city ownership means
shorter hours. more equitable wages
and better conditions for the employees,
less taxes for the people and better
service for the public. Organized labor
cannot but consider a public servant
who refuses to obey his plain instruc-
tions from the people as inimical to the
best interests of the people and good
government (Signed)

WHY SERVICE WAS BAD.
Street Railway Now Busy Rebuilding
the Washburn Line.

Under Topeka date line. the Kansas
city Times contains a piece roasting the
Topeka railway for the poor service
which it gave for the Wash burn-K. U.
all right, but it should be taken into
consideration that the railway company
is now at work rebuilding this portion
of the line. Perhaps it will do better
when it gets the new track down.
The part of the story which is really
funny is the suggestion that the game
should be played in Lawrence, where
they have no street cars at all. and
nickel to get from the depot to the foot
ball field, which is just about as far
away from the center of town as is the
Washburn field. Lawrence had chance
there this year, but it could not offer
guarantee of $3.50 to the visiting team,
and SO the game came to Topeka.
The article winds up with shot"
furnishing cabs to take the K. L.
team out to the field. The Washburn
mana cement was not supposed to fur
nish the X Z. team with anything ex-
The *. L. players tried to capture
street car and keep out all other pas
sengers, and when this was not permit
ted by the street car management, the
players got real mad and left the car.
The Times says:
Among the persons from out of town
who witnessed the Kansas Washburn
football game Saturday afternoon an
agitation was started last night to have
all the games between the two schools
in the future played either in Kansas
City or Lawrence.
THE argument advanced by those
who would have all the games played
in Lawrence is the fact that distances
in that town are short and persons who
do not ride in cabs can walk to Nc
Cook field without difficulty. The uni
versity town has had no street railway
facilities since Congressman Bowersock
abandoned the operation of his much
maligned mule car line. Mr.. BoWerSock
was one of those who suffered incon-
venience through delays of the cars here
yesterday. The car in which he start
ed to Washburn field left the rails three
times. He was compelled to alight
twice, and after the second accident he
concluded his journey afoot.
Contrary to the invariable custom in
Kansas City and Lawrence, the local
provided no cabs in which
to take the visiting players to the
grounds. The Kansas men were even
refused a car to themselves, but finally
a carry-all was rented to transport
