WON'T SPRINKLE
CAR TRACK

Patrons of the street railway
are asking what has become of the
Pratt ordinance which requires the
railways to sprinkle their tracks.
On the largest portion of the Hill
yard line the Washington Water
Power company has not put a drop
OF water this year and the ordi-
nance that promised to be a great
relief to the public has become,
through the negligence or incom-
petence Of the street committee, a
dead letter.
The street commissioner Is ap-
parently afraid to enforce the or
dinance for the same reason that
Chief of Police Waller did not dare
refuse the Washington Water Pow
er company a lot Of special police
for the appointment of which there
was no other excuse other than
the purpose of melting the strik-
ing linemen to commit some overt
act and bring themselves into dis
repute with the general public.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-08-22

Advocates of the initiative and
referendum laws say this is a view
of the ordinance which they had
never taken but declare that they
cannot give up principle which
means so much to all the people
because 1t may not meet the ap-
prevail of those interests which at
times seek special favors. The
aim claimed by the referendum
people is to make this a govern
ment ruled by the majority and
not by the few.
1t is argued by the referendum
supporters that invariably the in
terests seeking a monopoly such
as the Washington Water Power
company and concerns of like
character occupy the same polti-
cal bed as Dutch" Jake, Harry
Bare and Jack Wilmot. Both
should, so the advocates of the ref
erendum argue, be made amend
able to the law.

WAR DEPARTMENT
AFTER YOUNG
WOMAN

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The
war department Is going after a
young woman who acts as notary
public in Cohoes, N. Y. Recently
the army officer who is on duty at
Albany as recruiting officer was Or
dered to take a deposition of a
witness in the case of an alleged
deserter on trial at Fort Jay. I'm
der the regulations the officer
could have administered the oath
himself and saved the government
all expenses. He did not remem-
Der this, apparently. The incident
would have been of little import
ance, because the legal rate of
payment for a notary in New York
is only II cents. In the case of the
young woman at Cohoes, the
charge was $3.50 and it Is to this
excessive rate that the war depart
ment is disposed to take form al
exception. Correspondence will be
entered into with the Cohoes no.
tary, with a view Of adjusting the
charge to something nearer what
is understood to be the legal rate
in the state. In the meantime an
other effort will be made by the
military authorities to get army Of
ficers to realize that they have the
right, under certain conditions, to
administer Oaths.

FUM|GATES ALL

to free it of the germs of some
contagious disease Bunker always
