"Cure Intemperance by Drinking.

Mr.. Fletcher makes another startling

relation, moreover, to the influence of
diet in crime. He says:
whisky can be taken in seemingly
harmless form and in such a manner
as to cure the craving for drinking in
excess, thus promoting temperance"

property Owner" drops his little
mite in the mint by calling attention
to the fact that no value has been
placed upon the reservoir on "Jenny's
Hill, and insists that this would be
needed as a reserve supply in case a
break should occur in the pipes leading
to the springs, and that it would not
be common sense not to keep ii for that
purpose. He seems to forget, if he ever
knew, that the proposed plant includes
q reservoir to hold five million gallons
for emergency purposes, by the side of
which the "Jenny'S Hip basin would
look like tin cup, Talking about
emergency water, it is fact that John
son City is now at the mercy of one
pumping engine. If it should break
down the town would be waterless I'M
Ill it could be repaired,

The Watauga Water Company an
nounces many reasons why Johnson
City should not vote bonds for water
works, one of the foolish ones being
that the town should not 60 so heavily
in debt, and in the same breath almost
is asking for the privilege of creating
the same debt, collecting the same rev.
enue the city could collect to pay it
and take the surplus as a rake off. Do
you know, my fellOw-citizen, what the
surplus would be? 1t would be fully
10000 year now and grow at the
rate of $1,000 year, according to their
own figures. Why should they not
want such sinecure? And why
should the city not have it? These
bonds will help us pay johnson City
out of debt and relieve us of the very
burdens the paid writer of the compa-
ny is trying to brighten you with.

The legal representative of the Wa
tauga Water Company gives better
reasons why the city should own the
water plant than any that have here
tofore been advanced. He shows by
figures from the company's books that
it is a great revenue producer, and
states that certainly the income will
never be less, under present conditions;
it is sure to increase rapidly when the
proposed connection is made to Indian
creek" He admits we must go to
Indian creek for water, and yet wants
the city to pay $245,O0O or 100000 for
plant that must be abandoned by
their own admissions. Another reason
he says makes the plant so frightfully
valuable is that bountiful supply of
water can be had within twelve miles.
Must we pay the Watauga Water Co.
for the blessings bestowed upon us by
the maker of the universe? Certainly
not, until it can show it is an authoriz-
ed agent or holds riparian rights.

A paid writer for the water company

A paid writer for the water company
says Johnson City should 60 slow
about saddling debt of 1915, 600 upon
the town, and so we are. We are 60
ing so slow that we are not going to
saddle the debt on the town at all. The
present water company owes bonded
debt equal to its entire value Is that
saddled upon the town? Certainly
not, and neither will be the amount
johnson City will expend in building
new system. The water rents will
not only take care of the interest and
create sinking fund to liquidate the
debt at any period desired, either in
ten, fifteen, twenty or thirty years, but
will also provide handsome profit
that can be used to make needed inn
provements, such as city hall, new
schools, build streets, sidewalks, etc,
or the rates can be materially reduced
and the money kept in your pockets.
Let no man make you believe the
present board of aldermen, or any that
may be elected in future, will misap-
propriate penny of this fund. The
man who insists upon this proposition
only puts himself under cloud. You
are stakeholder and a director in a
municipal plant and can help dictate
It's policy and say what shall be done
with the immense revenue it produces.
Are you going to throw away the mon
ey? Certainly not, and neither is your
neighbor in whom you place sufficient
eshdcneG to elect TO office He could
not do so if he was ever so much in
clined to, because the fund is too care
fully safeguarded by law. The man
who tells you otherwise does not be-
lieve word he utters. Think of this
absurdity! When your aldermen are
to handle 100000 to build a water
system to make Johnson City rich,
they are oorruptionists, but when
these same aldermen grant a franchise
to the beneficiaries of these paid Sian
derers to make them rich, they are
honorable and upright men. Could
any proposition be more absurd ? II
these slanderers would be willing Il
secure franchise from this board arr
they not estopped, in common sense
from attempting TO discredit their owr
witnesses, as it were? AS a matter O
fact, how could the aldermen best sc
care their constituents, by giving away
the million dollars or more this plan
will earn in thirty years, or by keeping
it from the benefit of the city, and pay
ing you a dividend in public improve
ments upon your stock, represented b.
the value of your real and persona
property? Every dollar paid from
this fund saves that much from you
other taxes. Will you keep the none.
or give it away?
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1909-09-09

Occasionally you hear person say
he is in favor of city ownership of the
water plant if the money will be spent
right This is one of the most unfair,
uncharitable, unwarraRted and absurd
reasons that could be advanced, and
the very lack of confidence thus ex-
pressed in his fellow-citizens whom he
has helped elect to Office renders his
opposition groundless.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1909-09-09

DIR, Carr in his effort to make it ap-
pear that Johnson City pays larger
tax rate than any town within radius
of 200 miles gives the rate of many 9th
er cities. Presuming that he is correct
in his figures, what does it prove? He
cites Roanoke and gives the rate at
I.25. The Johnson City rate is $2.l5.
To be fair, let's compare the towns,
Roanoke is three times as large as
Johnson City and its assessed valuation
is more than fourteen times as much.
In other words, Roanoke is assessed at
S2l, 900, 900 in round numbers, divide
this by three and reduce it to Johnson
City's size and you have an assessed
valuation Of over S7,OOO,OOO
Suppose Johnson City had an equal
assessment and wanted to raise the
paltry $4,000 now paid as taxes on
real and personal property the rate, in
stead of being $2,15, would be only 45
cents. This would be fair statement,
and would show that Roanoke is pay
ing about three times as much as John
son City upon an equal valuation,
This is a sample of the misleading
statements made by the advocates Of
the water company. They will not be
fair, and yet they complain that the
Water Company has not been and will
not be treated fairly.

Many cities staE right with muni-
cipal water plants and all the Others
are getting right as fast as franchises
expire. Do you suppose that so per
cent of the cities are making mistake
~ so doing? Did you ever hear of a
town selling its plant and going back
to the franchise system? None ever
did or ever will.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1909-09-09

All the public Improvements needed
in Johnson City can be paid for out of
the surplus revenue of the water plant
If owned by the city and still reduce
water rents and pay all fixed charges
and operating expenses.

contracting parties in deliberately
employing different stipulations
with respect to Cuba and Porto Ri
co neither expressed nor intended d
to express the same idea. This
difference is so clearly and fully expla
ined in the memorandum of
the American commissioners Of the
14th Of October that it seems to be
idle to enlarge upon it.
The American commits toner's ha-
We never based their position
as to Spoin's REIMBURSEMENT of all
claim Of sovereignty overCuba upon
the English text Of the Protocol
as distinguished form the French
text, as the Spanish memorandum
suggests. On the contrary, in their
ber, the American commissioners dis
tinctly decalared that the words
used with reference to Cuba in the
French text were precisely the sa
me in meaning as those used in the
English text.
In their memorandum of the l4th
of October, the American commits
sioners applied to their position
as to SPANS REIMBURSEMENT Of all
claim of sovereignty over Cuba
imple test. If Spain, they said
had. in reply to the demands Of the
United States, declared that
relinquished her sovereignty over
Cuba, but did not reiinquish it
the United States, no one could have
imagined that the demand Of the
United States would not have been
satisfied. The Spanish memoran-
dunn intimates that everybody
would have thought SO except the
United States, anddeclares that
there is no one either in Europe or in
America who believes that the Uni
ted States would have been content
with SPANS withdrawing from
the island would have abstain
form all Intervention therein, leavin
the inhabitantents to cnontinue to
fight among themselves. 1t is OBJ
vious, however, that Spain's relin-
quishment Of sovereignty over Cuba
J and the subsequent intervention of
, the United States for the purpose
of establishing order there are di-
fferent matters.
Whatever the United States
