SANITATION
DISCUSSED,
Clean Up is the
Slogan

Il should not be inferred from the
following article that Williamsburg
is the hot-bed of disease. or that fe-
vers and contagion are or have been
prevalent here. On the other hand
The Gazette can prove that this is
an unusually healthful little city.
The object is to keep il such in the
future. because this is an education
al center. and we must have a town
as nearly free from contagious dis
eases as possible. There is not a
case of typhoid. diphtheria. small
pox or any other contagious disease
in the place or near It. Tub=rculo-
Sis cases arc very few. confined
mostly to the colored population.
The sole object of the discussion
going on IS to create public senh-
ment so strong that the town viii be
put and kept in sanitary condition.
that disease germs viii find nothing
f., to feed on. In other words. vii
liamsburg people propose TO lock
the stable beforethe steed IS stolen. -
and that is all there is 70 the discuss
ions that are going on. The town
wants to 60 on record as having moth
iag to c0nceal and nothing to lie
about as to the healthfulness of the
place. We are sure that the public

in keeping thstown up to the high
standard of healthfulness; and il

A very interesting and instructive
citizens meeting was held at Came
ron Hall Monday night under the au-
spices of the Educational and Civic
Association. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Mr.. T. H. Geddy.
Sr., who made a most excellent
presiding officer.
The chief speaker of the evening
was Prof. J. w Richie. of William
and Mary. an authority on the sub
iect Of sanitation, and whose text
books on the subject are used in the
public schools Of this and other
states. Sanitation was the prin-
cipal theme OF discussion and the in
terest manifested on the subject was
encouraging.
Prof. Richie had prepared lantern
slides showing by maps the location
of typhoid cases here for several
years past. Since 1902 the disease
has been found in certain sections of
the town to greater or less degree.
The infection seems to have been
confined to certain localities, thus
proving that there has been no cpl
demic of typhoid, although in 1907
there were several cases, the high
water mark. Since that year there
has been decrease in the number of
cases.
The speaker asserted that Williams
burg was no worse off than other
small towns, but that the object was
to make its prevalence less and les:
from year to year. All progressive
communities are trying to get nd of
the disease by proper sanitary regu
lstions. Clean up" is the slogan.
Other than polluted water. the COM
mon house fy IS the most dangerous
dissemanator of typhoid and other
infective diseases. Screen your
closets. carry away the refuse from
your stables. and keep your yards
absolutely free from all refuse. es-

FOR BETTER
CONDITIONS.
COunciI'sAIreadv
Acted,

The City Coancil publishes the
following as a reply presumably. 70
citizens who are urging some improv-
co method of keeping the town
clean Il appears that this resolu-
hon should at least help. but what
the people srs really ciamoring for
IS the enforcement of just such an
ordinance, the city providing some
way to get nd Of refuse matter. and
70 require ali TO observe the law.
In other words, one citizen may
keep his premises clean. While his
neighbor would nullify the whols
thing BY not cleaning his. One's
neighbor's Ties are as dangerous 70
health as ones own.
The city council. never having
had any report. o. a meeting 10 hear
the report of the police on their IN
speonon. nothing seems have been
accomplished by the resolution. Il
shows howeves that the council is
alive as TO the needs Of the toSn,
and Il IS reasonable 10 expect them
TO do everything psssinle to turtner
ostter sanitation. The following
resolution was printed Ia this paper

TAFT TO HEAR OF CHILE
FROM PRESIDENT MONT
South American Executive De-
sires Cooperation with U. S.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Presdent Pc
dro Montt of Chile, who is in New York
en- route to Europe, will not neglect the
opportunity when he meets President
Taft tomorrow to have a heart o-heart
talk in regard to the relations of Chile
to the United States. The relations, the
Chilean president declares in an inter
view published today, are ample and
cordial, but they might be closer.
Il want to speak with President
Taft" said President Montt, "of the
immediate future. Five years hence
the United States will open the Panama
canal. Chile and the United States are
good friends, and will, I believe, always
remain so. Chile is a sea country,
whose wealth is in mines and com
merce. When you open the Panama
canal I want to see the United States
engage in commerce with us. | hope
there will be one or two regular steam
ship lines between valparaiso and New
York.
"That is what l wish first to speak of
to Mr.. Taft 1 want also to discuss
Chilean politics with him. | want to
tell him of some of the far-reaching
improvements we have in Chile-our
railroads, for instance. which we owe
to yours-and I should like to confer on

FIGURES SHOW CHICAGO
A CHEAP PLACE TO LIVE

CHICAGO, Aug. Sin support of his
contention that a family can live IN
Chicago at a smaller expense than IN
anv other large city of America, city
Comptroller Wilson has issued many
columns of figures, showing the average
property owner in Chicago gets services
costing more than 300 per cent OF the
annual taxes paid by him.
For his average property owner ne
selected a man owning a $4,000 residence
and having wife and three children
He estimated the real estate tax at
S46.1O and the water tax at $I65,
total of $53!75, adding a possible per-
sonal property tax of $7.37, giving a
total of $6112.
For this, he held, the family would
receive services costing S172.O2, ana II
the county, state and similar services
be included, he estimated the loIdl oeH-
efits at $195.25
In his basis for calculation, Mr.. VIII
son considered the population of the
city at $500 900, and used the assessed
valuation of the property and the total
product from taxation as the basis Tor
fixing the tax rate at S4.6l per $lOo'
upon which he reached the total or TAX
alton in his hypothetical case.
His estimates of the cost OF services
furnished was based on the property
owners share in the various forms or
governmental operation, itemized in
part as follows:
Police protection, $11.SO; fire protec-
ton; $6; health protection, $l.1O; re-
moval Of garbage, $2.S5; cleaning and
repairing streets. etc, 1925; mainten-
ance of house of correction, municipal

GIRL TRAMP is RESCUED
FROM BRUTAL COMPANION
Gave Up Home and Beats Her
Way on Trains

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 5.-Forsak-
ing home and the garb of her own sex
for love of a man, Rose Foster of
Pierce New, was rewarded with treat
ment so brutal that hardened tramps
were moved to pity.
1t was through information to the
police that Miss Foster was found mas
querading as a boy, and Frank Collier,
the man with whom she eloped, living
with tramps in the open.
The girl, who is % years old, says
she became infatuated with Collier
while she was working in a restaurant
at Phoebe. Collier had just finished a
term in Jail for petit larceny. They
wished to be married, but this was pre-
vented by the girls father.
Finally they decided to run away.
The girl clipped her hair, and dis
guised as a boy beat her way to Salt
Lake with Collier, riding sometimes in
box cars and again on the blind bag
gage, or under the cars on the trucks,
When they had taken up their resi-
dence in the hobo camp Collier, it is
alleged, ordered the girl to seek a live
lihood on the streets. Her refusal to
do this caused Collier to mistreat her
so fiagrantly that their fellow campers
notified the police.
The girls father wal take her back
to Phoebe and Collier will be prosecuted
as a vagrant, if no more serious charge
can be pressed.

JURISTS MAY EXAMINE
KANSAS BANK SYSTEM
United State Supreme Court viii
Be Asked to Review
Federal Litigation

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-One of the
first questions on which the supreme
court of the United States will pass af-
ter it convenes in October will be the
application for it to review the litiga-
ton in the federal courts in Kansas
over the constitutionality of the Kan
sas bank depository guaranty law.
John Lee Webster, ex-senator C. 1.
Long and several other lawyers repre-
senting the Abilene National bank and
others, filed the application for a writ
of certiorari in the case.
The United States circuit court or
Kansas, in an opinion handed down by
Judge Pollack, ruled that the law was
unconstitutional as being in violation
of the fourteenth amendment and as
unlawfully discriminating against ma
tional banks and destroying their EN-
cheney. However, the United States
circuit court of appeals for the Eighth
circuit reversed the lower court ana
held the law to be constitutional.
IF our contentious are sound, and we
believe them to be-" counsel for the ma
tional banks say in their brief, the
Kansas bank guaranty law will ope~
rate to despoil national banks of their
deposits by inducing people to believe
that depositors in the state banks are
guaranteed and that deposits in nation
al banks are not and cannot be guar
anteed.
"Such process of spoliation will re-
suit ultimately in the liquidation of ma
tional banks and in increasing the
number of state banks; or, we may
say, the destruction of one and the up
building of the other as has been DEM
onstrated in Oklahoma
IT is claimed that congress will never
authorize the national banks to accept
the provisions of the statute for their
reorganization as state banks, thus
procuring the benefits of the act be,
cause to do so would, for all practical
purposes, deprive the federal govern
ment of all control of such banks and
make such banks subject to the control
of the state of Kansas, or, in other
words, to all intents and purposes make
them state banks,

MEETING
FOR HOLLYWOOD
Candidates Will Make Addresses
in Toberman Hall This
Evening
BUTLER is ON THE PROGRAM
Opponent of EIdridge Favored by
Residents of the Third
District
is ON THE PROGRAM

Sidney A. Butler, candidate of the
Lincoln Roosevelt Republican league
for supervisor in the Third district,
will be the principal speaker at meet
ing to be held this evening at s
o'clocl, in Toberman hall, West Holly
wood boulevard near Cahuenga ave-
nue.. Among the other speakers will
be Charles H. Randall, candidate for
the assembly from the Seventy-fourth
district; Supervisor r. w. Pridham and
State Senator Charles w. Bell of Pasa-
dena.
A vigorous canvass of the entire
Hollywood district is being made in
Mr.. Buffers interest, and there is a
strong determination on the part of the
people of that section that "Tus' -
Eldridge shall not be returned to the
board.
The voters of Hollywood have re-
peatedly issued bonds in large denomi-
nation for the improvement of their
highways, in which they take great
pride. Should the necessity ever have
arisen for the construction of a first
class, modern pavement on the road
leading to Eldridge's property in
"Bungalowland," the people of Holly
wood would have been the first to have
taken steps for the issuance of bonds
for this purpose. The fact that they
did not do so is evidence enough that
they did not believe there was any
necessity for the expenditure.
