Tacoma Is being bumped hard
by the local banks on the interes'
paid on deposits.
The banks pay the county treas
urer Q per cent interest on county
funds deposited, and must furnish
surety bond for security. This
bond costs them additional money.
They pay the city only 1 IL per
cent and may put up improvement
bonds or most any old bonds for
security. \
As the city now has about ST.
10000 in surplus funds the diff
ference in the interest amounts to
several thousand dollars a year.
There has not been time in the
last year when the city had less
than half a million dollars on de-
post, and the extra half per cent
would pay he salaries of several
city employees.
Councilman Giblett has been
stirred up by the facts in the case
and today he had resolution pre-
pared to present to the council
Wednesday night ordering that
hereafter no money shall be do
posted nor contracts entered into
with any banks to take city money
for less than 2 per cent interest.

To the Editor: / have read in
the Times that there is little or
no chance of Halley's comet doing
any damage to the earth or its In
habitants. You have told us that
scientists were unanimous, prac-
tically, in declaring that the comet
will have no harmful effect upon
us.
Now, why make 1t so clear that
the comets coming does not pre-
sage the end of the world?
Don't you know that there are
lots of old, time-hardened sinners
out In this neck of the woods,
who never would get down upon
their knees and beg the AL
mighty's forgiveness, until the ap-
proach of Halley's comet was her
aided as a possible coming of tn,

States is controlled by trust"
having six forecast centers, Wash
ington, D. c., Chicago, New Or
deans, Denver, San Francisco and
Portland. Ore.
The United States weather bu-
reau Is best known through the
medium of it's daily forecasts and
weather maps. These forecasts are
based upon simultaneous observa-
lions of local weather conditions
taken daily at a. m. and s p. M,
18th meridian time, at about 200
regular observing stations scatter
ed throughout the United States
and West Indies, and upon similar
reports received daily from various
points in other parts of the weste-
ern hemisphere.
The stations are in charge of
trained observers, and are equip
ped with mercurial barometers,
thermometers, wind vanes, rain
and snow gauges, thermometers,
sunshine recorders, Paragraphs,
thermographs and other devices
which make continuous automatic
records of weather conditions and
changes.
Twice daily observations as to
temperature, pressure, precipita-
tion, direction of wind, state of
weather, current wind velocity,
maximum or minimum tempera-
ture, since last observation, and
the kind and amount of clouds are
taken at each station and tele-
graphed to Washington, where
they are interpreted and charted
by experts, trained to forecast
conditions that may be expected to
prevail during the following "a or
SO hours.
The barometers from which
temperature is taken are so sit
uater that they are protected
from both the wind and sun. The
government has recently stationed
in some of the larger cities
self-recording machines called
"knosks." These are not SO re-
liable, as they are more exposed
to the elements.
Weathermen know that when
the wind sets in from points south

falls steadily, storm is approach

There is something brewing in
a political get-together line. The
Sherman antitrust law menace rs
arousing the leaders of the indus
trial and agricultural forces. The
mulcting of the United Hatters for
$222,000, and the filing of suits
against many other organizations
in the industrial field, are finding
an echo in the arrest of numerous
tobacco farmers in Kentucky, who
have pooled their labor power in
their products and intend to hold
them for better prices. The Ken
lucky tobacco raisers form a
branch of the farmers unions,
which number something like 81
100000 members.
Now it is proposed that d con-
ference representing the farmers,
the railway brotherhoods, the A.
F. of L., and various independent
bodies, comprising a total of g.
100000 members, meet at St
Louis the first week in May to
consider joint political action
Whether this meeting will result
in the formation of an independ-
ent political party is problem.

A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God, in His wisdom, has recalled
The boon His love has given;
And. though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in heaven.
Through all pains, at times she would
smile
A smile of heavenly birth,
And when the angels called her home.
She smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure.
Earth the lonely casket keeps;
And sunbeams love to linger
Where our darling Willie Belle sleeps.
