DEMOCRATIC FUR
LIKELY TO FLY

The meeting of the Young Mems
Democratic club, called for last
night, was postponed until Satur-
day night, February 20, at the as
sembly room of the chamber of
commerce. At this time election
of officers will take place, and E.
o. Conner, whom the club tried to
bring out for mayor, will lay down
the burdens of the presidency of
the club and may have something
to say on his attitude on the may
orally fight. Bruce Blake is being
groomed as the logical successor
of Conner.
At this meeting an effort will be
made to secure the endorsement
of the nohpartisan election bill,
likewise few other issues of live
import, such as local option and
the Des Moines plan Of municipal
government. In the event that
these questions are sprung there

the natives which would put on
end to the present unbearable con-
ditions.
The message of Governor Smith
is accepted as evidence that this
promise is to be speedily fulfilled,
and the caustice reference to the
native provincial police is taken as
the forerunner of an announce
ment that American authority is to
be restored in the provinces.
There is general rejoicing among
the white residents and a feeling
of optisism has displaced the de-
spair which threatened to depopu-
late the islands of their white pop
ulation
In industrial circles, it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the present
congress will grant free trade to
the islands, which desideratum, to-
gether with the curtailment of the
present absurd liberties of the ma
tives, will speedily bring an era of
tremendous development to the
long suffering islands.

GRAY COMES TO
AGENTS. RESCUE

Councilman John Gray has come
to the aid of the employment
agents by introducing an or
dinance in the council which cuts
in half the license fee of the
agents operating in the city. The
ordinance describes at length just
what constitutes an employment
agent and then sets out how their
offices are to be conducted, but the
real purpose of the measure is
found in about two sentences in
which the fee is cut in two, max
ing it 500 year or a fraction of
a year, instead Of 5000, as at pres
ent.
The ordinance also provides for
a bond of $1,000 to be put up by
each agent. 1t is expected the or
dinance will be holly contested, as
there are q Offices in the city and
several of them are a source of
continual trouble to the police.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-02-10

the native officials displayed espe-
cial pleasure in arresting American
citizens and throwing them into
loatnsOme jails, on the most
flimsy preteXt. All appeals to Man
lila were apparently ignored and
hundreds of white residents de-
serted their holdings and left the
islands. Practically all develop
ment work came to an end and a
period of industrial depression
threatened every enterprise inaug-
urated by Americans and Europ-
cans in the islands.
1t was at this critical time that
the Mckinley policy of assimila-
ton" reached it's elimination in
the granting to the Filipinos of an
autonomous government Though
then secretary of war, Taft made
trans-Pacific trip and opened the
first Philippine assembly in person.

citation of this unparalleled liberty

ways, that is, it decided that when
ever the net earnings of the rail
ways exceeded per cent on the
capital invested, concessions
should be made in fares and
freights.
In 1900 first class passage for
so miles cost 10 shillings pence !;
today, 6 shillings 4 pence. Second
class passage for the same dis
lance has been reduced from Z
shilling to 4 shillings 3 pence.
There is workers weekly
shilling ticket available for dis
tances from to 10 miles, and is
sued between suburban stations
and cities. This ticket confers on
the worker the privilege of trav-
cling second class between his
home and his work up to 10 miles
for pence.
Comparing the rates ruling to-
day with those in operation in
1900, a passenger travelling a dis
lance of $50 miles can make the
return journey for Z shillings 5
pence less than he paid in 1900 to
make a single journey, and he can
today obtain a ticket for a journey
of 756 miles for the same fare that
was paid in 1900 for ticket for $50
miles, and II he pays the single
fare ruling in 1900 for 426 miles
(the distance separating Auckland
from wellington, he would today
be able to journey 1856 miles. II

1900 for a 426 miles journey, he
would be able today to obtain two
return tickets from Auckland to
Wellington.

EAT WEIGHT
IN POTATOES
Especial to The Press)


OLYMPIA, Feb. 10.-Convicts
in the state penitentiary at Walla
Walla are expected to eat their
own weight in potatoes in the next
six months.
Superintendent Reed has asked
the state board of control to pur-
chase for the penitentiary 100000
pounds of potatoes for the six
months beginning April l.
Every six months the state board
of control buys on competitive bids
food and clothing, hardware and
electric supplies and all the other
articles needed for the institution,
and the superintendent are now
sending in their acquisitions.
With about 1000 convicts in pris-
on this spud requisition means 200
pounds per convict.
This Is more than the combined
weight of the prisoners, for most
of the criminals are as undevel-

COUNCIL SWATS
SANITATION
AGAIN

The city council turned
Otto Bittrick over its knees,
as usual, last evening when
the energetic city meat in
spector asked for com.
mission to investigate the
feasibility of a municipal
slaughter house.
Without taking up the
question at any length the
council decided that If such
a plan was to be consider
ed the initiative should be
taken by Bittrick's supe-
riors, the board of health.
Bittrick, as sanitary in
spector, has been making
intelligent and consistent
efforts to protect the public
against use of polluted food.
He worked up a model bak-
cry regulation ordinance
which was chIoroformed in
council. His campaign for
city slaughter house is
move to centralize the meat
killing business in order to
place 1t under strict city in
spection.
BY utilizing instead of op-
posing Bittrick's willing
ness to work the city coun-
Gil could install an inspec-
ton system that would
make Spokane a model in
that respect. This cannot
be accomplished, however,
without tramping on toes
of councilmen's political
friends. Hence Bittrick's
activity becomes pernicious.

GOVERNMENT 0WNERSH|P'S
TRIUMPH IN NEW ZEALAND
Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
AUCKLAND, Feb. 10.-New
Zealand has practically the lowest
telegraph rates in the world.
Letter postage to English-speak-
ing countries is one-sixth of what
1t was in 1890.
In the same period railway rates
have been cut in two.
These are some of the good re-
suits of New Zealand's government
ownership of these public utilities
Other good results are in the
great extension and improvement
of all these departments
Eloquent figures are given in a
public speech by Sir Joseph Ward.
prime minister, summarizing the
progress made in public service
under government ownership in
the last II years.
1t is to the efficiency and cheap
ness of the government telephone
and telegraph service that he at
tributes very largely the reduction
in postage and railway rates-not
through competition, but through
increased communication and bust
ness.
Telephone rents in 1891 were on
a sliding scale The first year a
rental of $4S had to be charged, as
against $24 now.
In telegraph business New Yea
land with total white population
of less than 100000 holds the
twelfth position among the coun-
tries of the world. More telegraph
business is done than in such popu-
lous countries as Holland Switzer-
land, Denmark, Spain, Egypt, Swe-
den, Turkey, Portugal and Norway.
The proportion of kilograms to
population in New Zealand is by
far the highest in the world In
1891 under two million kilograms
were handled Last year the num-
Der was over seven millions.
TO enable this enormously in
creased business to be undertaken,
the mileage of telegraph wires
which was, in 1891, 1882. has
been increased to 29,343. There
have been opened 1901 telegraph
and telephone Offices and 81 tele-
phone exchanges. In the period
under notice the number of tele-
phone exchange subscribers has in
creased from 1852 to 23,861.
The development of the post and
telegraph reads like a romance.
The postoffice speaks glibly in fig
ures that are hard TO grasp. In
1881 seventy-five million articles
were dealt with; last year the
number was one hundred and
forty-two million.
Besides the enormous reduction

EnaIish Hunting Dress.

When out hunting everybody should

There is nothing the farmers dislike
so much as this habit, for they never

towns or who they are gallOping over
their land and over their fences.
There is but one proper aud legiti-
mate fox hunting dress for gentlemen,
and that is red and black coat, white
breeches, top boots and a high hat and
certainly thirty years ago nobody
would have dared to come out dressed
otherwise. Where the hounds belong
