SAY COUNCIL is
TRYING TO DODGE
Continued From First Page)


payer need really pay his taxes only
once in three years, as the collectors
are allowed three years in which to
settle each years taxes. The striking
of the penalty clause from the ordin-
ance requiring the Street and Sewer
Directors to enforce the street railway
franchise is regarded as rendering the
ordinance wholly ineffective. as no law
can be enforced if It mas no penalty
attached. The real life of the ordin-
ance IS in the penalty clause.
Have No Option.
1T seems to have been forgotten by
the eouncllmen that The law under
which they are REQUIRED to act leaves
them no option in the matter. The
Legislature has placed il in the power
OF the people to say what they desire
to be done in the management of the
city and the Council must. unless it is
determined to defy the popular WILL
pass the, ordinances that will carry
into effect the wishes Of the people.
"The Initiative and Referendum law
is as much q part of the city charter
as any otheR law for the government
Of the city. and the councilman or city
official who n any way interferes with
or hinders the carrying into effect Of
the popular win as expressed under
this law. renders himself liable to
severe penalty. It remains to be seen
whether the Initiative and Referendum
League VIII go TO the extent Of en-
forcing the law into the courts IfI
IL should be compelled to do so, and Il
seems now to be very much in the
temper Of resisting what is regarded IS
q defiance Of the popular win on the
part of the Council and city officials.
il viii go hard with those gentlemen,
not only to square themselves with
the people, but to escape the punish
ment that the law imposes
"On Thursday nisht IL will be in
teresting to see how the members line
up, and particularly now many will
avoid the real issue by remaining
away. One thing is very sure. ana
this is that the Initiative and Referen-
DUN League, with an overwhelming
majority Of the voters of the city back
of it on this advance home rule meas
ure, will not take a back step, but will
insist upon the popular mandate be-
ing respected by all
Members of the Initiative and |
Referendum Lsague express the great |
est regret that they should be forced |
TO these extreme measures. as thus rar |
they have endeavored to maintain the |
most pleasant relations with the city |
officials, and have trusted to the as
surances given them that the ordin-
ances would be passed IN proper form. |
but as il now appears these assur- /
ances are not to be kept, there is con-
siderable feeling on the subject
1T VIII be remembered that during |
the city campaign both Democrats and /
Republicans claimed that they were
entitled to the fullest credit for hav-
ing given the people the initiative and
referendum law. and both attempted to
make capital out of that claim. Now
it remains to be seen how the two
parties in Council viii line up on the
real test Of sincerity Of their profess
sions."

Officials Of the Inland Empire system
say the company will take an active part
this year in the marketing OF the i'm
mense grain crop to be harvested in the
falouse country, says the Spokesman
review OF July %. In Spokane and
whitman counties no less than 80
granarles will be operated tributary to
the Spokane & Inland, according to a
statement made yesterday by ]. H
Lathrop, general freight agent for the
system. These warehouses are being
built,
The Washington Grain & Milling Co.
OF Spokane will operate grain warehouses
at Mount Hope, West Fairfield, Waverly
and Fairbanks. The Waverly Grain Co.
will also have warehouse at Waverly

at Spring Valley junction.
f. j. DOneen Of Oakesdale will operate
warehouses at Oakesdale, Geary and So
kulk, and Duling & Bishop of Garfield
will have warehouses at Crabtree, Gar

At PalOuse the warehouse formerly
owned by Galbraith & Bacon is being
moved to siding which is being built
at the south end Of the Spokane & In

by W. F. Smith. A second warehouse
is also being built north of town by the
Inland tracks near the PotIatch Lumber

tween the Great Northern railway and
the Graves lines will mean much to the
falouse country. 1t will provide ready
access to markets east and west. the
principal coast point being Seattle. By
the new traffic arrangement rates on
grain, vegetables and hay will be the
same as the present rates of the North
ern Pacific.
During the past two years, it is said a
very large amount of freight equipment
has been purchased by the Great North
ern, portion of which is now being de-
livered. This not only includes cars but
heavy locomotives.
The Inland Empire system has ex-
pended nearly $250,00O in freight equip
ment alone this season. This new equip
ment is mostly for local business and ia
being delivered.
The Inland's big electric freight loco
motives on the Palouse line will be aug
mented by eight still larger locomotives
to weigh y tons each and to be 700
horsepower. Delivery of the new engines
begins September |, as it was planned
to have them ready for handling the i'm

This spot was at one time the home OF
old Chief Kamiac and his tribe, and here
his bones lie buried if not desecrated by

Several OF them have been dug into by

carted away, besides skulls and other

Two tOwnsites have been plated. The

them. The railroad company has plated
a townsite about a mile to the east

Fully 600 men are employed in this part
OF the work. Camps are stretched along

This region has many fertile spots,
from an acre to several acres in extent,

small lakes, which, with the fantastic

rock formations, makes it an object OF

II this franchise is granted {. ls
nothing to prevent franchises being given
other companies. The only thing is the
Pacific States I. & I. Co. have all their
connections established, and telephone
service is Of no value without all these
connections. The Home Telephone Co.
has also announced that it will ask for
franchise here, which will probably re
ceive favorable consideration at the
hands of the council.
The Pacific States T. & t. Co. has a
regular payroll in Colfax Of $500 per
month. Outside Of the POtlatch Lum-
ber Go. this is the largest pay roll in the
city. They employ II girl operators, 3
linemen, a manager and clerk and a
messenger boy. They have 500 sub

IT is UP TO THE COUNCIL
Meeting Called for tuesday
Night SlimIy Attended.
Council Tried to Feel the Public
Pulse, but the Pubic Wouldn't
Stand to BE Felt.

The mountain labored and it brought
forth a mouse. The mass meeting an
nounced to take place Tuesday evening
at the court house to pass upon the
telephone franchise question ended by 10
citizens sitting on the front steps until
nearly 8 O'Clock waiting for the crowd to
appear, which did not appear, going to
their several homes somewhat rulfled in
temper. 1t is evident the people do not
take much interest in the matter Either
that or they are willing to let the council
decide the matter as in their judgment
seems best. There was an opinion
prevalent, however, based somewhat on
the meeting held two weeks previous,
that gathering Of citizens would only
end in wide and diverse expressions of
opinion, without being able to reach a
satisfactory conclusion. Be that as it
may citizens did not assemble, although
the time aud place was fully advertised,
and the proposed telephone franchise
ordinance printed in the two local papers
and scattered broadcast in circular form
1t was not ignorance Of the event that
kept people away-it was either design
or apathy.
1t is now up to the council TO take the
matter in hand aDd dispose Of it. No
one doubts their desire to advance the
public veal. The only question involved
ia the length of time a franchise should
be granted The ordinance proposed 0
be passed grants a franchise for Is
years, subject to municipal regulation.
1t also provides for yearly payment of
$3.50 for the use Of this franchise. But
one other city in the northwest-Port-
land-receives anything for such use, it
being paid $1,000 a year. Considering
the SIZE of the two towns and the ser
vice involved Colfax has better bargain
in this regard than Portland OF course,
this means that other towns and cities
will demand bonus as old franchises
expire and new ones are asked for, which
