PLAINTIFFS IN SUIT ALLEGE
THEY ARE ILLEGALLY
TAXED AND DEPRIVED OF
BENEFITS WHICH THEY
HAVE PAID FOR,

The action brought against the
city administration by c. Twftchell
and others to prevent further diver
sion of funds paid in by water con-
sumers to other uses is a matter
that directly affects the small home
owner, especially if the contentious
of the compliments are sustained.
In brief the allegations means
that a special tax for general pur-
poses is being levied on water con-
sumers individually in addition to
the levy provided to furnish funds
for other departments Of city gov
eminent.
1t is charged that in the past 8
years total of more than 100000,
nearly $4,000 annually, has been
illegally diverted from the water
fund for general purposes, in direct
violation of the charter rights OF
water consumers to expect use Of
their money for purposes OF the
water department.
This is grave enough in itself. but
it is further charged that had the
water receipts been rightfully ap-
piled the recent bond issue of $780,
900 for water extensions would not
have been necessary. That means
that the policy pursued at the city
hall has saddled an unjustified in
debtedness of nearly half million
dollars on the taxpayers of Spo-
kane.
In addition it is alleged that the
present outstanding water extern
sion warrants aggregating $177,-
255.18 could have been paid and the
prevailing interest charges stopped
had the water funds been expended
as directed by law.
Water rents paid to the city now
amount to 100000 per year and it
is figured by the plaintiffs that an
excess of $125,000 annually is real
lied above all charges and mainten-
ance expense. This margin the city
government is accused of exploiting
for the benefit of other funds, there
by depriving the water consumers
of just dues In economical water
works improvement and decreased
water rates.
The complaint also attacks the
water rate schedule fixed last
March as being excessive, designed
so for the express purpose of Great
Ing a surplus from which to draw

WEATHER MAN
MUST GUESS

Weather Maker Stewart is having
his troubles these days along with
the rest of the folks who do bust
ness with the telegraph companies.
1t may not be generally understood
that the telegraph instrument and
an operator to work 1t are neces-
sary ingredients in scientific wealth
err manufacture. But that's a fact
and when anything breaks the COM
operators strike, the weather man
has to serve strictly homemade
product. BY telegraph the govern
ment keeps tab on meteorological
conditions all over the country and
posts each observer every morning.
With these reports, his instruments
and all the other mysteries of an
up to date weather bureau, he goes
to work and evolves "a hours of
weather-good, bad or Indifferent
for his particular locality. Once in
awhile he slips up somewhere in
the process, but generally the batch
comes out as prescribed.
iDot hoW tIS SathCl OboCtNtt
sits in ignorance of what his col
leagues perched here and there
about the country are doing in the
weather line and to keep up his
reputation is put largely to the old
original expedient of looking at the
sky, shifting the air and making
guess on what is going to happen.
He undertakes 1t with many mis-
givings as the following demonstra-
ton of how Observer Stewart gets
around 1t in Spokane will prove:
Photographic reports have not
been received this morning. Meteor
illogical conditions cannot be de-
fined nor forecast made. But
from present local conditions and a
consideration of conditions in the

cred safe to assume that moderate
ly high pressure is now controlling

LOOKS BAD FOR TACOMA.

At the present rate of deaths and
births in Tacoma that city stands a
show Of becoming depopulated in
side the next 100 years. During
the month Of July there were in
that city 100 births to 81 deaths, So
girls were born to 81 boys, leaving
Z extra girls. OF the deaths AZ were
male to only Is females. showing
that rs girls will be without male
companions according to that scale,
or making total of 80 extra girls.
At this rate year 1t would show
1874 girls to be forever minated. In
a generation it would amount to
1900. At this rate any good math-
ematician can figure out exactly the
day in the dim distant future when
Tacoma will become a memory of
something that has been.

STABBED HIS GRIP
AND STOLE SHOES

Someone cut open Charles Burns
grip at the Ondawa Inn last even
ing and stole a pair of shoes. Burns
had paid for room and went up
stairs to find IT, He became lost
in the devious windings of the stuff
fly halls and settings his grip down,
returned to the office and informed
the clerk that being from Missouri,
he must be shown where he was to
rest his weary head. The clerk
showed him, but for a time there
was trouble because the grip had
been appropriated probably by
someone in a nearby room.
Burns went to the police station
and complained. When he reached
the Inn once more the grip was set

wound was in its side, where some
one had stabbed 1t and extracted

VpscihA IOOExetpo0oooCo TO Inc Rfono
LOGANSPORT, Ind, Aug. 49,
After a forenoon's visit with Judge
Kenesaw Mountain Lands, the man
who dared to strike the deadliest
blow that has ever detonated
against the battlements Of Standard
OIL, am convinced that he not only
firmly believes now in the complete
justice of his act, but that his $780,
100000 fine will be sustained when
the matter is carried to the highest
courts.
Judge Lands Is losing no sleep
over the appeal. He practically told
me in SO many words that there
would be no reversal.
Judge Lands was at ease in a
comfortable willow chair on the
broad veranda of the home of Fred
Lands, his brother, when l called
to see him.
II am glad to see you," he said,
"but before we proceed further l
want to say that l can conceive of
no more imprudent thing than for
me to discuss at this time the Stan
dard Oil case. You know it is the
duty of judge to do his talking
from the bench. AS regards the
general economic problem suggested
by the Standard Oil case, it is pat
ent that cannot talk of that, for
the reason that anything l might
say would be Immediately construed
as specific reference to the matter
that l cannot discuss"
Judge Lands kept his word in
this regard rigidly. But there was
no mistaking his attitude toward
the justice Of his decision or his
belief that his position will ultimate
ly be sustained.
The judge is now supposed to be
taking his summer holiday. He told
me, however, that he would run up
to Chicago from time to time to at

MEN
CONFIDENT

The local situation in the tele-
graphers' strike has not changed
perceptibly today. Outside indica-
tons, or rather lack of outside in
dications show that the strike has
frightened up more than ever, not
withstanding company claims that
have filtered through that it is prac-
tically broken.
The weather bureau was unable
to get any reports today and gov
ernment business carries prece-
dence over all other Press reports
are almost too meager to mention.
The Western Union management
here claims to have s men at work.
including chiefs and Office men, but
the operators claim there are but 8
at work
The Postal has hired no men, the
manager doing all the work there
was, which is not enough to worry
him, as outside connections are cut
off. A similar condition in this re-
spect prevails with the Western
Union.
