In order that the voters may
know both sides OF the charter
proposition. The Press is printing
the arguments of Attorney Fred c.
Robertson, the leader of the oppo-
sition forces. Here is what he says
regarding two features in the pro-
posed charter which he believes to
be against the peoples interests:
TIL commissioners under the pro-
posed charter will have power to
let every contract without competi-
tion and at any price and to the fa-
vored contractors. The entire pol
icy of the city as to franchises and
to every other governmental func-
tion is pI0ced in their hands with
practically no limit to their power.
There would be no other governing
body nor auditing committee. In
their absolute sway, hindered inly
by legislation that they may adopt
and repeal at Will, in a single night
they will have the power to saddle
a staggering burden of indebted
ness against the city and its peo-
pie. from which there will be no
escape. The charter has entirely
removed every safeguard that pro-
tects the people against hasty, i'll
advised, corrupt or extravagant ex-
penditures OF the public funds.

VOTE ' ON
CHARTER IS
TOMORROW

Tomorrow the people will assem-
BILE in their respective voting pre-
cincts over the city to ballot on
the proposed new city charter.
1t Is one Of the most momentous
elections held in the history of the
city, as the adoption or rejection
OF the charter means much to the
city's future.
The new charter at first had but
little opposition, but in the last 10
days the opposition has grown un-
til 1t looks as II the result will be
close. A majority vote only is re-
quired to secure the adoption of
the proposed charter.
Since the phases of the proposed
charter relating to public improve
ments and the power resting In the
proposed commissioner have be-
come known the fight on the char
ter has been vigorous. especially in
the region of the north hill, where
a sewer referendum has been in
progress. The limitations placed
on the power to exercise the refer
endum have also been severely
criticised and combatted, until the
people today know more about the
charter than they did two weeks
ago.
The defeat OF the present char
ter would not kill the movement
for a commission form of govern
ment I'm Spokane, as those who
have urged this system have an.
nonnced their intention to renew
the fight in case the present char
ter is beaten.
The polls will open at a. m.
and close at y. m. The result
will be known before Q o'clock to.

SLEPT
WITH A
DEAD MAN

To wake up shortly after 6
o'clock this morning and find him
self in bed with corpse was the
grewsome experience of. John Lar.
sen, a railroad laborer living at the
North Pole lodging house, on How
ard street near Main avenue.
Larsen had been out among his
friends last evening and went to
bed somewhat under the joyful in
fluence Of the cup that cheers. His
partner, Gustave VIII, was to have
slept with him, and when Larsen
awoke this morning the dead man
in his bed SO closely resembled
VIII that Larsen hesitated not at
all but dashed half dressed to the
police station and excitedly in
formed the police that his partner
had died.
An officer was sent with Larsen
to make an investigation, but as
they were mounting the stairway
the room where John had slept
they were surprised to see the sup
posed dead man step from another
room and confront them.

FIGHT FOR
CHEAPER
GAS RATE

There 10 trouble brewing for the
public service corporations before
the city council.
The other night Councilman John
Gray introduced a resolution for an
investigation Of the right Of the
gas company to. make charge Of
$5 ae meter deposit.
In addition thereto Captain Gray
is Of the opinion that 81 per 1000
is enough to pay for artificial gas,
in line with the fight being con-
Quoted by The Press. Not only
that. but Councilman Gray believes
the telephone company is also rob-
bing the people. He cites the case
Of his own office, where he pays
$3.50 month for a two-party line,
or $54 year. In addition to this
two other men pay $3.50 a month
each. or So to get their names In
the book for the same phone, MAX
ing $50 year the company gets
out Of that two-party line. If the
other phone on that line pays an
other 800 this makes $3.50 a year
the phone company gets out of that
one line, which is going some.
Councilman Charles Mohr is
with Gray in going after both the
phone company and the gas COM
pany.
INVESTIGATE GAS COMBINE
Councilman Andrew Cartwright
announces his intention Of intro
ducing a resolution tonight in the
city council for an investigation as
to the reason why the gas company
has paid no franchise tax for four
years on the Roger Williams fran
ohise, passed in 1904. 1t requires
payment of 2 per cent per an
mum on its gross earnings, yet it
has not paid penny tax on this
franchise for four years, in spite Of
the fact that Mayor Pratt, who
helped to pass that franchise as
member Of the city council, is now
the chief executive of the city.
