Mayor Mise Does Not Sign S Year
= -. Lighting Contract
DOES NOT FAVOR LONG TERM
Mayor States Five-Year Contract is
Too Long-Wants Municipal Own
erShip - Gives Figures and
Facts in Support of Stand.

Yesterday afternoon Mayor Wise
vetoed the ordinance passed by the city
council ut their last meeting, providing
for the city to enter into a contract
with the Astoria Electric Company. for
lighting the city for term OF five
years. He gives his reasons for not
signing the measure as follows;
Astoria, Feb. a6, 1906 Gentlemen OF
the Common Council: | herewith re-
turn, without my approval, the orii'
nance entitled An Ordinance AuthoriZ-
ing the Committee on Ways and Means
to Eenter Into a Contract with the
Astoria Electric Company for Lighting
the Streets and other Public Buildings
for the term of five years for the fol
lowing reasons:
"First-It is against public policy to
grant long franchises or contracts, and
thus beliving, | cannot favor contract
for a longer period than two or three
years.
Second am anxious 10 assist in
bringing about city ownership OF a
lighting system as soon as possible.
"Third-Eyen should it be found inn
practicable for the city to purchase or
establish a public Lighting plant at an
early date; there is strong probability
of new company, or companies enter
ing the field, which a five years contract
might prevent.
you gentlemen have, no doubt, act.
ed in good faith in passing the above
entitled ordinance, upon the belief and
the assurance that you would save the
city a considerable sum Thereby. |
also appreciate the reductions made by
the Astoria Electric Company for the
city, but the greatest good to the
greatest number, should be our guiding
rule; if you pass a five years contract,
you make it improbable for competi
tion to come, which means that the
private consumer will get no relief.
"Now, let lis look into this saving
feature, taking the figures from the Zee
ords in the city auditors office There

MINE LABOR BfNfFHS
 BY DIRECT PAYMENTS

New York, Nov. 1S.-The following statement is authorized on behalf of the anthracite coal operators:
 Mine labOrers are benefiting largely from the rule of the Anthracite Strike Commission, requiring that the oper- atOrs make direct payments to contract miners helpers. Formerly, 'the miner was supposed to pay his own laborers. who load the coal cut or blasted by
 him. Under that system the operators
 had no way of knowing the wages
 earned by miners laborers. and were therefore unable to refute the cry of
 starvation wages"
 Now they find that the laborer fre- quently receives for his work. which requires no skill. from $2.50 to $2.75 a day.
 | The contract miners laborers often fared badly under the old system. The miner frequently failed to pay him at all, and as he had no right to look to the company for redress, he was help less. When he was paid. the saloon was generally selected as the pay place in order that the saloon keeper might assist in making change; and it ire i quently happened that both tine miner and laborer spent much of their eran- ings over the bar before they left the saloon.
 These evils have been done away with as a result of the direct payment award. which is now fully in force. All contract miners are required to furn-
 ish prior to each pay day. a statement of the amount due from them to their l laborers. The coal company must de- duct that sum from the aount due the
 contract miner, and pay it directly tc | the laborer.
 By this method the laborer is sure oi | his money. and the necessity of going
 to the saloon is removed. If on pay day | he laboTer claims that the miner has
 understated the amount due him. the
 company holds back the pay of both
 until the discrepancy is adjusted. The company keeps an account of the time
 that the laborer works and is accord ingly able to assist in settling such a dispute.

COFFEE IMPORTERS. Publish a Book About Coffee.

There has been much discussion as to Coffee and Postum lately, so much in fact that some of the coffee import CTS and roasters have taken to type to promote the sale of their wares and check if possible the rapid growth of the use of POstum Food Coffee.

 Here is an admission of the truth, most important to all interested.
 Every physician knows. and every thoughtful person should. know that habitual use of any medicine" of the drug stimulant type of coffee or whis- key quickly causes irritation of the tis- sues and organs stimulated and finally sets up disease in the great majority of cases if persisted in.
