CUT INTEREST
ON BONDS

Commissioner Ray Freeland
yesterday got through his idea for
the cutting of the interest tate on
improvement bonds in the future.
In the passage of the Legislation
for the paving of Commerce stree:
from Nineteenth to Twenty-fifth
Freeland asked that the rate Of
interest be reduced on back pay
ments from to 6 per cent. The
other commissioners agreed and
1t was done. This will probably
be done on all improvem ,nts In
the future. Tacoma improvement
bonds have now become such sta
BILE securities that they are In de-
mand and bond buyers ara grab
hing them at premium.
Freeland thought 1t time to cut
the interest and save the people
the extra money.

Should the fight be stopped and
an appeal taken, attorneys declare
that 1t Is extremely unlikely that
any effort to stage the big battle
would be made, since there would
be an AIDED element of uncertainty
that would make the risk of finan-
cial loss so great that promoters
and principals would not care to
face the risk.

The labor organizations of Ia

the contract for its new building
to a contractor who works his
men ten hours at low pay, sent
the following letter to that body,
politely and in a calm. dignified
manner asking for conference
The Commercial club trustees

receipt of the letter, but refused
to even grant the labor men a
hearing.

Tacoma, May 81, 1910.
To the Honorable the Trustees OF
Tacoma Commercial Club
Greeting:
We, the undersigned represen-
tatives of organized labor in Ia
coma, have learned with surprise
and incredulity that the contracts
for your splendid new building, to
be erected at Eleventh and A
streets, are to be awarded to q
firm that is VIGOROUSLY unfair tC

Several weeks ago your Build
ing Committee assured us they
would gravely consider our earn
est appeal to have your building
constructed by UNION WORK
MEN OF TACOMA, and that they
would take the matter up with
your honorable body and notify
us of what they could do.
We have not heard anything
from the committee yet, but have
been informed by friends who are
members of the club and others
that the contract is about to be
let by the committee to the Hur.
ley-Mason company. We therefore
take the liberty to present the
matter direct to your honorable
body, with the request that you
defer the placing of the contract
until we have had an opportunity
to confer with the building COM
mittee and yourselves; and we
herewith respectfully apply fol-
an engagement for a conference
with your honorable body, togeth-
er with the building committee, sc
that this important and serious
matter may be discussed in detail
and amicably djusted-fairly
squarely and quietly-for the mu-

- Attorneys Busy.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.-
Attorney General U. S. Webb and
his staff spent the greater part OF
the day in preparing legal papers
for the purpose of preventing the
Jeffries-Johnson fight on July 4
and the Northumberland fight
next Saturday. In an interview
granted the United Press, Attor-
ney General Webb said:
''The papers require consider
able preparation and care, and
will not be presented in court be-
fore tomorrow. That will be in
plenty of time to prevent the
lights. l think the courts will
grant the requested restraining
orders.
although I do not apprehend
a refusal by the court, a refusal
would result in the following pro-
cedure: The fight probably would
be held. Just as soon as l be-
came convinced that it was a
lprizefight and not a sparring ex-
hibition, | woold lotge an infor-
nation with the court to that er-
fleet and secure warrants for the
arrest of the principals and pro-
moters. The fight would be stop
lped within a few rounds after I
had come to that decision and
the arrested men would be prose-
cuted promptly"
Rush Work on Arenas.
Despite the threatened action
against the contest, carpenters TO-
day were merrily working away
on the arenas at Eighth and How
ard and Eighth and Market
lstreets. Louis Blot, promoter of
the Observation-Disclosures go, has
only two days to finish his arena
and he ordered the men to rush
the work.
The arena for the Jeffries-John-
ison fight is also being rushed to
completion. The big force that
has been working there were on
hand today and nearly two dozen
men are at work.
May Settle 1t Quickly.
That the big legal battle which
both sides are expecting will de-
ltermine the fate of the Jeffries-
johnson fight may be made unne-
teessary by the outcome of small
or legal battle over the gford-
Kaufman contest is a possibility

day. 80 The governors order to the

ded by Gillett as an after-thought,

SPECIAL TRAINING
A BUSINESS NEED
E. K. IsaaCs Discusses Necessity
of Practical Education for
Earning Money
PROFICIENCY IS REQUIRED
Authority Tells How Ordinary
knowledge Is Built Into
Asset for Success

A superficial knowledge Of the ordin-
nary English branches is one thing. A
money earning proficiency in these
branches is quite another thing. Thou
sands of people are educated" yet do
not know how to earn money because
the education Is not practical.
E. K. Isaacs, president of the Wood
bury Business college, Los Angeles,
and an eminent authority on matters
pertaining to business education, re-
Gently said:
1T is the province of a business
school to develop proficiency in the sub
1ects required in business and in every
day life. 1t is remarkable how little
algebra Is used by business men; nor Is
geometry or trionometry or botany or
chemistry or Latin required to any ap-
preciable extent But bookkeeping,
arithmetic, penmanship, spelling, busi-
ness English, shorthand, typewriting,
commercial paper-these are in con-
stant use. Some Of these subjects the
public school pupils learn in the gram
mar grades. That is, the seventh and
eighth grade pupils acquire an ordinary
knowledge Of the ordinary English
branches. But knowledge and pro-
dciency are not synonymous. The busi-
ness college builds on the knowledge
already acquired by the public school
pupil and develops proficiency there
from. And proficiency is what counts
in the business office. The public
school pupil can add, substract, null
tiply, divide, handle fractions and
decimals, work problems in percentage,
interest and discount. But the bust
ness college graduate becomes an eX-
pert along these lines. He has con-
verted his ordinary non-earning knowl-
elge Of these subjects into money-earn-
ing proficiency That is the mission Of
the business college, to transmute non
producing knowledge into a dollar-pro-
ducing education.
TRAINING YOUNG PEOPLE
"Given a bright, ambitious boy or
girl having a seventh, eighth or ninth
grade public school education, supple
mented by a years training in a first
class business college, and you have
far better product for business pur-
poses than the average four-year pro-
duct of high school or college"
Mr.. Isaacs was asked what rules he
had adopted for the government of his
school, and he said:
First-Strict attention TO business.
Second-Proper department.
1--WE have the students success and
welfare ever in mind-in fact, to such
a degree that our own success is prac-
tieally lost sight Of. But success is an
effect, and is indissolubly connected
with its cause. We know that the stu
dents success is our success, hence
we can afford, in sense, to lose sight
of ourselves. Again, we know positively
