PLUMBER BY THE SYSTEM

Realty owners are ready to fight FOL
their rights at the ballot box
After a week OF continuous battling
with politicians over the city budget
large real estate interests are convinced
that the great realty congress outlined
by The World is an absolute necessity.
The Battle OF the Budget has been the
most strenuous in the history o. those
yearly conflicts. Politicians demand
500 ooA0o0 for next years expenses.
They declare that slGo Oc0On0 is the
smallest sum that will pay the city's
bills. Yet the increase Of SIG, 900. coo over
the 1905 total represents chiefly increased
salaries. new employees to be chosen
from tho ranks OF ward workers repair
contracts for political favorites, extern

bitant prices for supplies, 1t measures
the years effort OF politicians to seize
more of the taxpayers money.
Politicians Eat Up City.
Taxpayers organizations have Joined
in the Battle of the Budget this year
because they are alarmed at the steady
drain on the city's resources They say
the politicians are eating up the city

In plundering the taxpayers.
They have the votes" said a prom

votes give them the power at the polls.
That power enables them to manipulate

as they please. They have become so
brazen about it that they ask us openly
how we are going TO help ourselves"

GOLDFIfLD QUIET
MINES RESUMIN6
More Men, Says an Operator Here
Yesterday.

George Vickers and 5. r Mason jr..
were in the city yesterday from Cold
field Nevada, TO attend the meeting
ing of the directors of the Little Flor
ence mining company. one of the COM
panies whose operations had been al
most at a standstill on account OF the
strike.
A meeting was held here at which
about 80 per cent of the stock was
represented and the following were
elected directors; Judge o. II. Horton.
Gen. c. H. Aldrich. james Kee-
lyn. Afford Stromberg. d.
c. Cone. of Chicago. and George
Vickers of Goldfeld. Reports were re-
ceived showing that the mine had pro-
duced 100000 during the past year
and paid 100000 to the stockholders,
Notwithstanding that it has been oper-
ated only part of the time.
Mr.. Vickers is one of the most ex-
tensive operators in that section. He
says that things are gradually shaping
up favorable to the operators who have
the strongest and best working organ
ization they have ever had in their
history. He does not think there is
much chance for open hostilities
breaking out in the camp. especially
as long as the troops remain
His own company is now employ
ing about 125 men. In the district out
of about $500 formerly employed 500
are back at work. In this number is
included some outside labor, though
il is not the intention of the operators
! To import any new men If it can be
helped They have many applications
| from men over the country and some
| from Bisbee and other Arizona min
| ing centers. but the operators figure
that most of these men would know

1t was the monthly council meeting
last night and this Incident was the
liveliest one that has taken place for
many moons in the tribune OF the
people. 1t was all about the BARRIERS
ordinance, but just how Jimmie Healy
butted in does not appear for he is
not a barber, nor is he counsel for the
BARRIERS, SO far as could be learned
last night. But he was there all right
and early in the session he secured the
floor. He stated that months ago a
petition TO close all barber shops on
Sunday had been signed by every bar
Der in town but one. an ordinance had
been drawn for that purpose. the coun-
Gil had secured an opinion from the
then acting city attorney saying it had
power to pass it. but it had never done
so. He intimated that the BARRIERS
were all holding their breath and
wanted to close their shops on Sun
day, but the council had failed, to
give them the privilege The matter
passed for the time. but Mr.. Healy
got the floor again and when he made
the remark above mentioned about Mr.
Cisney he was referring to statement
made that there was a difference of
opinion between the BARRIERS and a pro-
test had been filled as we'll as a petit
ton. After Mr.. Heale. had been sue
cessfully seated and an officer kept
his eve and his finger on him to hold
him down, Councilman Marshall arose
to say that he had been told BY owners
Of barber shops just what had been
attributed to Mr.. Cisney and turning
to Mr.. Healey he told him he might
also call him CMarshalD a liar If he
liked.
The council had intended to DELHI
crate a little more. but was brought To
strenuous action by the diplomacy of
Mr.. Healey. who it is believed would
be good man to send to Japan. be-
cause the country would know just
what to expect when he got there and
could declare war at once. The pro-
test was read and Mr. Christv moved
