the professions. All in all, il is a ma.
tional fault, however, to consider IL a
waste Of money to pay properly for the
services Of the educated man and wo-
man. A great many of the school
teachers Of the land are underpaid,
though TO be sure the people generally
are getting ashamed of themselves in
this line and are slowly but surely rails.
ing the pay roll all along the line. Here
in the Pecos Valley il used TO be
thought that $75 "A month was ample
for any teacher. Now We have sew.
eral getting 900 and quite q number
the former maximum, while the in
termediate workers all get IA pretty
fair stipend, though not enough when
the preparation is remembered. Still
we are "A long cry from the real crit
cism of the civil service. which is that
il protects the job not worth having
with iron rigidity and %scrupulous Elk
action, and leaves the bars down for
nh Of the positions that have some
thing in them. Many have thought
that was the direct purpose Of the
founder of the idea but the structure
is hardly fair. Politics had much Ia
10 with IL of course, for the basic
reason for the institution of the evil
service was to build up a perpetual
tenure Of office SO far rs n loyal ma
chine could do it. Evolution has ex.
tended the operations of the service
into many fields which the o%riginators
never intended and for which they are
hardly to blame. Under proper limi.
tations the principle is more or less
correct. As it exists today il is one
of the national farces that bids fan
TO continue long after people might oc
supposed TO have more sense.

fectuated inside the time limit:
/. We demand that IA new charter I've
formulated and that the city shall he
empowered to control its own affairs
aud meet the needs of its own life.
We ask for complete home rule in
municiual matters, and for the initia'
tive, the referendum and the right of
recall under proper restriction.
.. The city shall secure the owner.
ship and management of all public ser.
vice enterprises as far and AS fast rs
the state laws will allow. We demand
that the city be given the power 10
take over aud manage such public in.
dustries az are now IN private hands,
by getting permission to raise the bond
limit aud by issuing bonds secured on
the properties which thus will shortly
more than pay for themselves, We
also want the city to %inauguratr sucl,
new enterprises ~ the citizens by u
majority referendum vote may approve.
=. The city shall establish and
maintain ownership Of land On Jones
Island for the purpose of constructing
municipal docks, wharves, and for
municipal railway terminal, traekape
and belt line.
4. The common council shall take
steps necessary TO make the big cor.
porations pay their rightful share of
municipal taxes, so that the money
necessary To carry out the proposed
measure can be raised. We demand
the fair and equitable taxation of acre
age property within the city limits AMI
also that buildings owned by banks
and trust companies shall be taxed
like the property of other citizens. Tho
attempt of some capitalist politician
to make an issue OF the question OF
taxation is simply hypocritical pre-
tense. There are millions of dollars
worth of property in the city that "s'
capes taxation year after year AMI
nothing has been done about it by Tie
parties in power. A reasonable aut
scientific system of municipal inaacc
will also increase the income from
other sources.
). The city shall erect, maintain
and manage "a public slaughter house
Furthermore, ut least four public mar
kets in the various parts of the ci'
and four municipal storage houses
to enlarge the function of the municI
pality and to lower trust prices rs fan
as that can be done locally.
O.. The city shall establish and main
tain "a public works department which
shall directly perform the necessary
work of the city-its building, plumb
ing, grading, paving, etc, At an eight
hour work day and at a fair unioI
wage. II shall abolish the contract
system as far as possible in all publ,
works and encourage the organization
of labor in every respect,
=. The city shall provide for its un
employed citizens. Besides the i'm
provement Of is streets the city should
push every possible municipal enter
prise aud afford work for ms many or
the unemployed as possible. The cit,
shall operate ii municipal quarry /,
supply crushed stone for our streets

The Preacher aud the Empty Pew,

PEELED to preach to empty pews, lie
was one of the most popular and most
successful ministers in the city. The
same condition prevails IN every church
in the valley, and II IL mol the fault Of
the ministers. 1t is a deplorable fact,
and the churches and the community are
feeling the bad effects of IL. Aside from
our machinery of government, the

During Bonita's four hundred night run at the Broadway Circle Theater, New York city, in the radiantly beau tiful musical review.

Miss Bonita not only set the fashion-she was the fashion Her wardrobe, made especially for Bonita by the famous Parisian, Edel was revelation of the dressmaker's art. All the great portrait artists made special efforts to paint her in these gowns.

arhe Talk of New York;

Next Tuesday, February 8, at the Auditorium, Cohan and Harris will present Victor Moore and big com pany in the George M. Conan musical comedy, "The Talk of New York"
 The Talk of New York" was writ ten for MT. Moore by Mir Cohan and the role of Kid Burns is said to be as wonderfully suited to Mir Moore as the same role was in "Forty-Five Minutes from Broadway"
 In "The Talk of New York" the Kid appears as successful race track plunger with phenomenal luck and, in- cidentally, with phenomenal yocab- ulary of slang. His humorously phil osophical precepts are said to keep audiences in a continued state of laughter.
