Consideration Of public scavenger
service for Ely is now in the hands
OF the sanitary committee of the
city council. Whether Ely Will be
given such service or no is a matter
upon which deliberation will be had
and decision reached at the next reg
ular meeting of the council.
In a statement before the council
tuesday, evening 1t was declared that
as high as $40 a month Is paid by
some residents of the city to have
garbage carted away Mayor Clark
stated that SO far as he knew every
man in Ely who would handle gar
hage at all charged the same price
for the work. Carbon stated there
was no need of citizens standing i'm
position in price as they could
stand pat" and avoid it. He cited
an instance where he recently hired
special team and saved largely on
the cost of moving cement.
Root suggested that the only way
TO do would be to place q price on
the work and then call for bids, Civ
Ing some man the title of official
scavenger and allowing no one to in
terfere with the lowest bidder for
the work. Hall stated that he
thought 1t would be a good idea to
set some place which could be used
as dumping ground for garbage be-
fore this step was taken.
Carbon then stated that the propo-
sition was antenable as the city scay-
enger would be expected to clean up
eyeryone's place and no one could
be compelled to clean their own
places, he averred. because they
could always say that there was a
city scayenger and that they were

regard to the Injunction goes much
further than the present law on the
subject. in that hearing is provided
for. He denies that the platform
sounds retreat from Rooseveltism
and Taftian policies. The statement
says in part:
Mr.. Bryan objects 10 the phrase
in the injunction plank which pro-
claims confidence in the integrity OF
courts. Ii Is true. perhaps, that the
convention which is yet 10 meet at
Denver, rather than that which has
Just adjourned at Chicago, should
express faith in the integrity of
courts: but in view of Democratic
attack in | $50 and the fact that the
same forces which then controlled
that party are once again In supreme
command. il would seem entirely APP
propriate for the Republican party
not only to remove any possible
cause of complaint to the use of the
work of injunction. but to make ii
clear that It would resent again. as
it did in 1896. any attempt to assail
the judiciary.
"All that any one wants is that
the powers Vi ltutIdl touIAS Will re-
spect to use of Injunction shall be
accurately defined by statute. to the
end that all occasions for complaint
in labor cases. which happily have
been rare in the past, shall disappear
altogether in the future.
The Republican plank points to
simple and straightforward way of
achieveing the purpose.
THE anti-injunction plank as it
was finally passed was written by I'M
mediate friends of Secretary Taft on
the subcommittee with his co-opera-
ton, and was approved by him be-
fore It was proposed as substitute
for the original plank on this sub
ject"
