An ordinance passed in June, 1901
fixing a tax of so a day on transient
stock stores. such as is tsing operat-
ed by a firm on South Sixth street,
will be enforced, according to City
Attorney T. J. Study. Merchants OF

lately laid aside when attention was
called to the. 1901 ordinance.
Mr. Study stated that unless the
license was promptly paid he would
see that the proprietors Of this store
were arrested. This firm had to pay
a county tax of $50 and also an as
sessment of their goods was taken
yesterday and a tax paid on it. The

TO GET SETTLEMENT.

Absurd excuses for the delay en-

pleted September 1, 1905 but was not
finished until December -. have been
offered by the contractors. Caldwell
4 Drake OF Columbus, Ind, in order to
keep from FORGETTING 81 .6OO for failure
to meet contract requirements. 1t is
probable that to reach an adjustment
the association officials will give up
their contention for the above amount
!. Of forfeiture.
Give Their Reasons.
In he statement to the board, the
contractors allege that they lost a
number Of days by the installation ri
the swimming pool in the natatorium,
that the arrangement of some doors on
/, the second floor also delayed them.
that the city failed to complete con-
struction OF cement sidewalks, curbs
and cutters in time and thus caused
delay of many days. and several other
like excuses. To the association on
ctals, these excuses seem most absurd
but still they can not contradict the
statement OF the contractors as they
have no records OF the time required
to do the work. The contractors
claim that the installation OF the
springing board and like improve
ments were not specified In the con-
tract and that changes were made In
the original plans. therefore they are
not to be held responsible for the de-
lay. Association ofhcials believe that
the contractors stretched the time on
some of the changes listed. They
claim that installation OF the spring
Ing board should not have required
more than q day.

Will the Trusts Control
Air and Water? !

How often have you used that
good old joke about the trusts
controlling everything but the
air we brcathce
You may soon have a chance
to turn this Jest to earnest.
There is a fat young trust
forming just now that proposes
to reach its tentacles into the air
we breathe and draw therefrom
a product which will enable the
monopoly to "levy tribute on
every loaf of bread. every pound
of beef and every manager Of
oats.
We are quoting from their own
prospectus. This interesting
trust is now a part Of the hustling
group which is grabbing our water
powers. With cheap water power
they will produce a fertilizer
which in Germany enables the
farmer to raise 400 bushels of
potatoes to the acre, and in slow
old behind-the-times u. S. A. We
average only IS bushels. Other,
crops are benefited in the same
proportion.
Energy in the soil; energy In
the streams. Those are things
we've got to wakeupand protect;
or else these trust gentlemen
will do just what their prospectus
says they'll do: Levy q tribute
on every thing we use.
