DEFEAT THIS
AMENDMENT
Charter Provision For
City Printing Should
be Left Unchanged.

"The city council shall annually let
all OF the legal advertising to the low
est bidder, who shall give bonds to the
city in such sum as may be fixed and
approved by the city council, to per
form the conditions of the contract. and
all such legal advertising shall be done
in the paper receiving the contract, such
paper to be daily, semi-weekly or
tri-weekly newspaper printed in the
City of Everett. Such paper receiving
the contract shall be styled and be the
city official newspaper. Section No.
16, of the city charter of the City of
Everett.
We ask our readers to read the above
paragraph carefully because it is one
which YOU will be asked to amend at
the coming city election. You will note
that this section makes it mandatory

The voters are now asked to amend
this section of the charter so that it
may be let to a daily, weekly or semi

BETTER PLAN OF TAXATION
SUGGESTED.

Editor Labor Journal:-l was very
much interested in your editorial con
cerning the injustice which wage work
ers suffer from the present maner OF
making improvements. Allow me to
suggest Il better plan one that is being
adopted in various par countries. and
which when adopted has never ben dis
cardcd.
This plan was unanimously endorsed
by both the Whatcom County Grange
and also by the Washington State
Grange, and has no opposition at all eN-
cept from grafters.
As the plan cannot be understood
without Il clear idea of the difference
between individually made" and com
munity made" values | will first define
those terms: When man makes Il
wagon. or builds a house, or raises a
COW. the result of his labor naturally
belongs to him, individually. When
community" creates value, that value
belong, equally to every member OF
the community. John Smith owns, in
| diyiIuallv. the house he builds; Everett
owns. collectively. the value OF her
| streets: her docks that are built by the
,itv and the community-made value of
! her lands.
/ \ lot on your main street is worth
| $500 To 81 900 foot front for the
ground alone. that is the community
has put $500 to 81 900 per foot front
into every lot in the central portion of
the city.
This community made value of the
lots belongs to the city just "a much
as does the community made value OF
the street in front of such lot. The
owner of the lot franchise has a perfect
moral right to his house or any other
Improvement which he or his money has
nut ON the lot: but the franchise
value Cthe community made value) OF
the lot belongs to the city for precisely
the same reason that the franchise
value (the community made value oi
the street belongs to the city. although
the tracks, cars, etc, may belong to the
stone Webster people,
M intelligent person will deny The
above statements.
The Plan Stated.
Our plan is simply this; Let every
man pay reasonable rent for the com
mlmity made value of the property he
occupies and then when the city pave
street and so adds to the value o.
lots fronting ON ii the occupier o
those lots viii pay rent ON the valu'
added by the improvements made by
the city.
For instance. suppose that Nh
Campbell, editor of the Journal, own
lot on an unimproved street. Th
franchise value of that lot is small
for the city has done little for it.

The event derived some added inter

Finally he referred to the iail sen

of contempt of court for referring to

COMMISSION
CUTS ice

Guthrie, Aug. 31.-The Corporation
Commission has been dealing with the
ice question in several different parts
OF the state and yesterday signed an
order in the case of Ross Upton VS..
the Ada Ice & Fuel Company. This
order reflects the ideas Of the Corpor-
alton Commission and will serve as the
basis of all their orders in the regula-
ton of the furnishing Of ice through
corporations.
The order recites that in the very
nature of things, an ice company has
monopoly of the ice business within
its own territory. The evidence in this
case showed that the Ada Ice Company
sold ice in the business part of the
town at forty cents per hundred deliv-
cred in quantities Of ten pounds and
up where coupon books had been pur.
chased In the residence district they
charged sixty cents per hundred
where coupon books had been pur
chased otherwise they sold it for
eighty cents per hundred. The price
at the plant was fifty cents per hun
dred.
The complaint alleges that there is
an understanding among the ice fac
tories of that part Of the state which
virtually amounts TO trust, The evi-
dence before the commission showed
that parties at Ada had attempted to
buy ice at Sulphur in car load lots.
That the manager of the plant at Sui
phul had refused to sell them ice un-
less requested to do SO by the Ada
Ice Company. That the parties pro-
ceeded to Tishomingo and there made
contract for ice by the cai load at
three dollars per ton. but tha before
The delivery Of the ice the manager
of the Ada Ice Company had gone to
Tishomingo and after consulting with
the manager Of the ice plant at Tisho-
mingo the contract had been cancelled
by the Tishomingo people, who refused
to deliver the Ice

chapter SO, Session Laws 1sO7-1sOS as
giving them ample power 10 regulate
ice plants.
The order OF the commission was
that the Ada Ice plant furnish ice a..
forty cents per hundred in the busi-
ness district Of Ada where coupon
books are purchased, thar all other
parts OF the city be served with ice at
forty cents per hundred where books
are purchased and fifty cents without
books. The commission could not see
where the company would be justified
In selling ice to farmers at ten cents
per hundred higher at the plant than
they retailed it from their wagons,
hence they ordered that forty cents
per hundred be charged at the plant.
The further order was made that the
actual weight of the ice should not
'ary more than seven and one-half per
cent from the weight charged.
