~EOrLE WILL SUFFER
FROM MEAT BOYCOTT
Falkland. Wash,
Jan. "a, 1910.

S@h' 80 sA"NSs
Editor Times: While some. OF
us less informed out here are sit
ting, wondering what is going to
come next, in the form of decisions
from the learned men who are
holding the scales of justice in our
community. Such decisions as nat
urally will attract the attentions
OF the common people (being that
they are to some extent involved
IN them), have been coming forth
quite freely in the last few days,
and a whole lot more to come
when they are finally ground out
IN the slow moving mills of JUS
tice.
But as we are eagerly scanning
the pages of your valuable paper
for such news. our eyes fall on
something like the following:
People going to boycott the meat
trust" and then goes on to tell
how the people are organizing, and
pledging themselves to refrain
from eating such products as are
handled by the meat trust. What
N this country coming to? How
long will the people blindly sub
init themselves to the foolish idea
of boycotting the necessities of
life, or submit themselves to starv-
alton In order to get Justice. I
would like to ask such people who
are leading such a fight IL they
arc the tools of the same trust
IN question, or. IL they didn't stop
long enough to think what they
are doing or accomplishing by
such an act? What will the re-
suit be? The common people are
the ones that are going to suffer
again. We refuse to buy the meat;
the packer closes his plant; work.
ingmen are told they are not need
ed; they go home wondering what
they are going to tell the land
lord when he comes to collect the
rent. while the packer goes to his
home and lives in luxury until
such time as the working people
get over their foolishness, quit
starving themselves and buy meat
again. probably at higher prices
than when they quit buying.
A few retailers and independent
packers will naturally fail, or bel
forced to sell out. To who? Thel
meat trust, of course. The result
Of the whole thing will be, meat
costing the same, or more, a whole
lot OF men unable to pay their bills
on account OF suspended payl
checks. a few independent pack
ers and retailers bankrupt and
therefore that much more compe-
tition eliminated.
o, you dubsl how long beforel
you are going to wake up and see
that as hong as you let private
rule. You will always
draw the short end of the straw.
Some of you may go to sleep for
. while on the announcement
from Washington that the depart
rnent of justice is going after

porary injunction whereby t

commissioners were enjoined from
taking further steps toward an
nexing the suburban territor.
which recently voted in favor o
coming into our city. The annexa
tion of this territory meant more
to our city at this time than any
other pending matter. Not the
least of the benefits to the city
would have been the increase IL
percentage gain in our population
for the decade. Tacoma will stanC
near the head of the list in per
centage gain-from $1,000 sir
1900 to approximately 100000 In
1910. This alone would advertise
Tacoma just about one million dol
lars worth. But-I4de not wish to
take up space in enumerating the
benefits resulting from annexa-
tions
The purpose of this communica-
tion Is to let your readers know
that as a matter of law our SUI
perior court has absolutely no au-
thority to enjoin annexation pro-
Our government Is divided into
three distinct branches: the execu-
tive, the legislative and the ju-
dicial. These branches are dis
tinct, each performing its sepa-
rate functions. None is supposed
to invade the jurisdiction of the
other.
The annexation of territory to
a municipality is legislative
function in the consummation of
which neither the executive nor
the judicial is authorized to inter-
fere. In this state, the legisla-
ture has delegated its jurisdiction
to change municipal boundaries to
the boards of county commission
ers and to our city councils, which
II has a legal right to do. These
boards have exclusive jurisdiction.
When, therefore, the courts as
sumo to review or in any manner
interfere in proceedings of this
nature, they assume Jurisdiction
which they do not possess.
Again, an injunction proceeding
Is no action In equity. In order
to maintain suit in equity 1t is
necessary for the plaintiff to bring
his action under one of the sub
iects cognizable in equity. There
Is no equitable ground upon which
the suit in question could be
brought. The only rights involved
In annexation proceedings are po-
itical, as distinguished from prop
srty or civil rights.

Many women suffer from head
ache after a day of busy shopping.
To battle the forehead with a
sponge wrung out of water as hot
as can be borne will in many cases
bring relief. Repeat this as often
as the sponge cools. When the
head feels tired 1t is refreshing
to dash some cold water on the
forehead, then to wipe 1t off and
lie down for a time. Closing the
eyes for few moments at odd
times during the day has won
derfully beneficial effect and will
ward off many q headache.

Avoid exposure to winds

somewhat and thus reduce the red
