Amt 1t Just awful. Magglel"
This from MasIe, after recovering
breath. as she made a two-handed
grab for the bunch OF puffy ringlets
pinned to the back OF her couture,
when a solemp-appearing individual
arose from the dinner table and
mumbled something about mo more

ing a two-bIt coin across the snowy
napery.

gle, who now had the center OF the
dining room and plainly showed her
Indignation, adding: me for the
mining camps over in the Occur d..
Alenes II this thing goes through in
sunny old Spokane"
Masle was referring to the action
Of the last legislature OF Washington
In fixing up a new criminal code,
from which the economist had dug
these facts. effective the morning OF
June II:
Section 439.-Every empIoye OF
a public house or public service cor
poration who shall solicit or receive
any gratuity from any guest shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor.
Section 440.--Every person CIV
ing any such gratulty. mentioned in
section 439. shall be guilty OF a mis-
demeanor."
In the glossary OF the new code
misdemeanor is every crime pun
lshable by a hne OF not more than
$3.50. or by imprisonment in a county
jail for not more than 80 days"
There was a quick marshalling OF
forces and much language followed.
Above the din these words were
heard:
80 now they're going to pinch us
for grabbing on the ribbon silver!
What? And get the good ones. too!
I'm on my way"
Probably a test case will be made
before the law is ~ hours old. Spok-
ane people have the habit OF upset
ting enactments when the laws do
not meet with their ideas Of the At
ness Of things. In most instances so
far the supreme court has upheld
their contentious as to what eonsti-
tutes rights and personal privileges.

HARRISON
GOES DRY"
City Council Will Grant No More
Liquor Licenses

HARRISON, April Is. Especial
The town of Harrison went dry"
last night when the city council voted
to grant no more liquor licenses to
the saloons now doing business in the
town or which may apply for a IL
cense in the future.
The action of the council was not
unexpected as the present old board
which took the action last night was
reelected at the last election, and in
order to be reelected 1t was neees
sary for each one of the councilmen
to pledge themselves to the anti-sa-
Icon forces that II elected they would
grant no more liquor licenses.
The other ticket in the field rep
resented the business men, and
though a hard battle was made in its
behalf, 1t went down in defeat before
the organized forces of the anti-sa-
loon people. The action of the coun-
ell does not take effect until May /,
and the saloon men will have until
that time in which to dispose of their
business.

'AXPAYER is
AGAINST BONDS
pes Not Believe Necessity Exists
for 100000 Indebtedness

Editor Press: AS taxpayer, a
patron of the schools and one who is
deeply interested in educational mat
ters, l request space in your valuable
paper to express an opinion in re-
gard to the voting of a high school
building. Do we need a new high
school building at this time? BY
careful inquiry / learn that the num-
Der now belonging in the high school
is1between 1876 and 14O, the number
that in all reason must be provided
for next year. From the eighth
grades in the city the high school
will receive at the outside less than
60 pupils, making not to exceed 200
pupils to be provided for in the high
school. The high school now uses
four assembly rooms, one recitation
room, and one room for the labora-
tory in the Central building. These
assembly rooms have a seating ca
pocity of about 165. The so addi-
tional pupils will require seating ca
pacity of one more room, but grant
them two more rooms, for seating
purposes and one more room for lab
oratory room. These three extra
roms provide for nine teachers in the
high school next year and the seat
ing capacity of 800 pupils easily.
learned today that one of the rooms
in the first story of the high school
building is now used for high school
purposes and three rooms for grade
purposes. Would it not be wise to
use the three grade rooms for high
school purposes and postpone the
erection of a high school building
until the needs of the city are more
definitely understood.
A 100000 building such as pro-
posed might and then again might
not meet the requirements of our flu
ture high school needs, but it is GER
tain that if $4,000 is voted the tax
payers would pay the bonds and in
terest through a portion of the new
building stand unoeccupied as well as
the rooms now occupied by the high
school pupils.
Why not build four room school
house to accommodate the fourth,
fifth and sixth grades now in the
first story of the high school building
at a cost of $4,000. One years in
terest on 100000 is $1,000. This
building could be torn down, though
used but year, and save the district
$4,000. 1t certainly is not the part
of wisdom to crowd the high school
into inadequate quarters or fail to
provide suitable equipment but all
the needs of the high school in the
next year | believe can be met by the
erection of a small building to &C
commodate the fourth. fifth and sixth
grades in the present high school
building and turning their rooms
over to the high school.
