CHANGE AT LAUNDRIES.

On account of the large and in
creasing business of the laund-
ries of the city, they have adopted
the plan of collecting for each
bundle as it is delivered. Where
it is desired or more convenient
the laundries issue coupon books
in sizes S1.O0, $500 and S.. 90 up
on which they give discount Of
5 per cent.
The laundries deal with prac-
tically all the people of the city,
and it is impossible to run the
business save on a cash basis.
The large and successful lauu-
dries throughout the country all
do this.
With the above system all the
objections are met and the adj
vantages are numerous. The
time and energy expended in
sending man back aftcr the
the money alter tile bundle has
been delivered eau be placed OH
the inside where it will serve to
letter advantage.
The laundries desire to give
every consideration iii the matter
and have adopted the plau Of
calling Il second time with the
bundle when there is 70 one at
the house to receive it the first
time, thus eliminating absolutely
all charges on looks, watch re-
Suits in decreasing the Office
force, and enabling the iundries
to give lie liberal discount of 50
per cent on the coupon hooks.

INJUSTICE DONE
JUDGE HOGAN

At the council meeting Tuesday
night Mayor Edmundson demanded
that the city police court cases be
turned over to Justice High forthwith
until permanent arrangements
could be made. Asked for his rea
son, he spoke as follows;
Because when Judge High had it
before he turned over slOo or 5000
a month to the city. and since then
the city has been getting nothing. We
might as well have that money as
some one else"
In another column of the Review
this morning will be found a detailed
statement of the police court bust
ness, taken from the official records.
This statement covers eleven months
under Judge Hogan, from April p,
1909. 20 May 81. 1910. The eleven
months under Judge Burdick, from
June. 1893. to May. 1909. The four
months under Judge High. from Jan
uary, 1909 to April %. 1903.
The figures show that Judge Hogan
turned into the city treasury in cash
81 .32sS0 and a total of 17ef hours
work by the chain gang at 30 cents an
hour, making a total of s1,ee96O or
an average of s154 a month.
Under Judge Burdick the total
turned into the city treasury in eley-
en- months was 1895. or an average
OF $50 a month.
Under Judge High the total turned
into the city treasury was $3.50, or
average of s145O per month.
Where did Mayor Edmundson get
his information that Judge High had
turned in $3.50 to $500 a month" and
that under Hogan the city has been
getting nothing" Could a misstate
ment more gross, in the face of the
records. possibly be made? The Re
view does not believe the mayOl
knew he was misstatins the situation
Mr.. Edmundson doubtless believed h
was speaking the facts. But this in
cident, coming so early in the admin
istration of the new mayor nigh
well serve to open his eyes to tn
fact that some of his informants an
advisors in the party are too insanel
partisan to be relied upon. Probabl
the mayor win not be caught agar

Ample apologies are due Judge H,

been investigating what has become
known as the BalIinger Pinchot CON
troversy may be SIR. Ballinger stands
today as convicted in the public
mind as being unfit to sit in the
cabinet Of President Taft. This con

press OF the country and is in agree
ment with public sentiment. the
following from the Los Angles Min

public sentiment regarding this
matter.
In spite of the fact that the
special pleading and briefs in the
