West Gaining Political Power.
Spring field Republican.

We have heard much recently about
the passing of the weight of political
power in the Nation from the north
eastern to the central and valley
states. But the present census is like
ly to disturb somewhat calculations
on this point which were projected
from the population figures of the past
two or three census years. 1t is an
nounced that the present population
of Kansas will entitie the state to one
more Congressman. 1t would if the
ratio of apportionment were to remain
the same as it is now. But it is not
likely to remain the same. 1t will
have to be materially increased If the
House membership is to be kept within
wieldy limits, and that will doubtless
be done. If it is, Kansas will not gain
another Congressman; Iowa would lose
one or two, Missouri probably one,
Indiana one, and so on through the
states of that region. On the other
hand, while the northern New England
states might lose one each, the south
ern New England states would prob
ably gain as many, and New York. New
Jersey and Pennsylvania would prob
ably gain. The relative political power
of the central West would be less than
II has been for 10 or 20 years past,
while that of the Far Western and Pa
cific states would gain materially and
that of the Eastern states would at
least remain the same as against all
the rest of the country. There is like
ly to be prolonged contest over the
coming Congressional apportionment.

Ten Gents a Copy
NOW CITY ELECTRICAL PLANT
1 Gensraiing Plant 10 Be Owned By CITY ls Maw
Being Planned Is An Adjunct 70 The Wafer
And Sewerage Systems Already p|ansd.

Plans are now being formulated by
the members of the city council that
may result in the addition of an electric
generating plant to the water and
sewage systems, already on the tapis.
Through the request of the city council,
j. E. Hall, of Reno, state manager
for the Fairbanks, Morse Company,
came down on Tuesdays train and met
with the council Tuesday evening, at
which time the matter Of installing
generating plant at the government
drop six miles west of town was dis
cussed. The familiarity of the technical
representative with the subject in hand
was SO thorough that the council
entered into the proposition seriously
and its members are now engaged in
the work of devising ways and means
whereby the plant can be installed by
the city, co-incidently with the water
and sewage systems.
The great Importance of the electri-
cal undertaking is shown in part when
1t is known that it is proposed to con-
duct the juice from the drop to this
place and uso it among other things
for power for the pumping Of water,
which is a necessary function in con-
nection with the operation Of . water
system In level country such as this.
Members of the city council accom-
panied Mr.. Hall to the drop yesterday
and tentative plans were laid out for
the installation of the generating plant
and the line Of conduits necessary to
bring the juice to Fallon. The former
will cost, according to Halls figures,
So, 900 in round numbers and the latter
IS, 600. In all S13, 900 will be required
to consummate the project, but a. an
argument in favor of the electric pow
er, it is stated that less expense will be
attached to operating the city water
plant in this manner, as compared to
the use Of gasoline engines and petro-
leum fuel. The engines will quickly wear
out and figured from all precedent con-
stitute q constant source Of annoyance
and expense. for repairs are perpetual
ly necessary. More men are required
to operate a gasoline plant, while the
efficiency is vastly less.
Practically everything about the
plant proposed for installation works

CITY COUNCIL HAS MEETING
And 1ransacis the Usual Routine Of Business
At its Regular Meeting tuesday
Evening.

The city council had a somewhat
heated session Tuesday evening,
characterized very largely by acrimo-
nious debate. The air was clouded
throughout the greater part of the
evening by blue smoke, but when it had
cleared away peace and tranquility
quickly took its place. City Council
man A. w. dollhouse acted as mayor
with Councilmen C. w. Foote and J.
w. Vannoy present. The business of
the evening was of the usual order, ex-
cepting that which had to do with the
policing of the city, which brought
forth the discussion already mentioned.
The claim of the l. H. Kent Company
for $3.50 was cut down by the council
to $53. go.
1t was ordered that w. w. Williams
be permitted to lay pipe line, parallel.
ing the side walk line on Carson street
from Williams avenue to First street,
and that he also be permitted to SET
two posts in the alley in the rear of his
store building.
1t was ordered that c. w. Verplanl
be notified to return the lumber taken
from the culvert on Churchill street,
an act that the council deems un.
authorized and unwarranted.
Councilman j. w. Vannoy was
directed to employ someone to do Ger.
tain work on the south end of Maine
street.

ing: C. M. Hoover, Long & Mussel-
man, Anna c. Sherman, dollhouse &
Schweikert, Smith & Michaelson, Loft
house & Lofthouse.
The resignation of W. F. Kaiser was
read and the council by unanimous vote
decided to refuse to accept the resig-
nation rendered. Mr. Kaiser will con-
tinue as the city's efficient night po-
liceman.
The city marshal's report was re.
ceived and ordered filed. This docu-
ment deals with the requirements Of

er business. Section 1872, Cut
ting's Compilation. There must be
a reason for this, else it would be
open to the special privilege objec-
ton. The reason is not far to
SEEK it rests on the fact that an
other license is exacted for the main
business and that fact that the pre-
sumed great profit per drink is an
absent quantity. But suppose the
main business of the concern comes
under the first-class provided for
by the statute, wherein the average
monthly sales amount to at least
100000, what would happen if on
ly comparatively small number of
sales by the drink were made as a
mere incident of this great bust
ness? 1t is either that the concern
would be compelled, in this instance,
to take out the retail liquor license,
for otherwise a concern of the tenth
class would have just as much
right to the same amount of retail
liquor business as the big concern;
and it would be under more tempta-
| ton to take it up, because even
| though a small matter to the big
concern, it might make up a sub
stantial part of it's monthly sales
of $1,000 of the small concern of
the tenth class. Thus what may be
merely an incident to the business
of the big concern is a great deal
more than that to the small one.
But no line can be drawn among the
ten classes provided by the statute,
because no one can tell where the
business ends and the incident be-
gins.
1T is far easier to treat the sale
of liquor by the glass as a separate
business. A concern of the first
class mentioned above may have
many patrons, and there may be
good reason why it should dispense
liquor to them by the glass for
their comfort and convenience, just
as much reason as in the social
club, and it might be done with as
much privacy and without sugges-
tion of immediate disorder. In 9TH
er words. the dispensing of liquor
by the glass might be even more an
incident to it's main business than
to the main business of a social
club; nevertheless it would pay the
tax.
There is another feature of the
competition phase that deserves a
word. 1t may be argued that some
men use liquor at social clubs who
would not patronize saloon. I'm
less this means mere transfer of
its use from the home to the club,
and no increase of use after the
transfer, it really means that the
club is encouraging the use of
liquor. This may be an argument
against the competition phase, but
1t is surely to some extent an adop-
ton of the police regulation phase,
for every addition to the army of
drinkers or to the amount of
liquor consumed increases the neces-
sity for that regulation.
The conclusion reached, in my
opinion, is that social clubs wherein
liquor is disposed CT by the glass
to members and guests are suffi-
GENTLY engaged in the business of
retailing liquor to require them to
take out retail liquor license

and the dues; the public is well
come, and the only portion barred
is that part so poor that the en-
trance fee and dues are beyond it.
Now all these clubs differ only in
degree. They have their attrac-
lions to which the very poor man
has no access. Are we not getting
around to that question of special
privilege again, for the very poor
man is relegated to the saloon for
his liquor, and it has none of those
attractions that the dues and in
itiation fees provide, for after all,
it must be remembered, taking the
clubs word for it, that the bar Is
no real source of profit. The other
things come from dues and fees.
And this exclusion of the public as
whole, is that not the privilege of
the club? Why if it is enabled to
secure that privilege. shouldn't it
ask for another as an incident to
that and because of it?
And this exclusion of the public
again-what is it for? Many things.
One of them is the more effective
maintenance of order. Some saloons
accomplish the same thing in much
the same way, by catering to an
orderly class, and extending little
encouragement to any other; but
mere orderliness does not relieve it.
of the license tax, or of police SUI
pervision. The public can not de-
egate any of its police power to
the keeper of a saloon, or to any
other man but its properly quail
fed officials. To do so would be
comforting special privilege.
''There is still another phase, al
ready touched upon, but in another
connection, the question of compe-
tition. In given community there
is certain amount of liquor bust
ness and it has its grades. Any
establishment except a saloon SELL
ing liquor at retail withdraws some
trade from the saloons as whole,
and especially from those of the
grade to which that trade ordinar-
lily belongs. Suppose that a saloon,
one saloon in a town, naturally
draws its patronage from a certain
class Of men. A club is formed
that is attractive to that very class
of men; and the saloon loses a very
considerable share of it's former
trade, which because of the peculiar
attractiveness of the club, goes to
the bar of the club. The club bar
thus completes with this saloon, and
yet 1t is argued that conducting
such bar is not a separate bust
ness. What can compete with a
business but another business?
Referring to the revenue phase of
the matter in connection with the
special privilege phase, there is oc-
casion to consider the attitude of
the law. The wholesaler pays his
tax, and as between the whole
saler and the retailer the line
a seems to be sharply drawn. But
there is a middle class. neither one
nor the other, from whom no tax
is exacted for selling liquor by the
quart in connection with some 9TH

which he gets the privilege of run
ming saloon. He feels that it is
the duty of the state to keep down
the form of competition most dan
gerous to him, that of numbers, by
compelling other saloon keepers to
pay the same tax. He thinks there
Is a kind of vested right in him
growing out of a relation to the
state, relation of the states Gre
alton, for which he has paid a fee
on entering into it. One form of
competition he has in measure
overcome, that of the retail price
on the article sold, so the other
becomes the IMPORTANT form. Clubs
being treated by the law as exempt
from the liquor license spring up
about him. He bears a burden that
they do not; yet he has no assur-
ance that their numbers will not
increase to his detriment and ulti-
mately to his undoing.
''As is the ambition of most saloon
keepers, one seeks to make his
place high-class, and succeeds.
Along comes a select club and pos
sibly takes every patron he has;
and the club pays no license. Or
perhaps his place is not quite so
select, but has a good patronage.
Somebody organizes bona fide club
and takes half his business. Right
here steps in an argument concern
ing bars as mere incidents to clubs
and not separate business. Now
about the case just mentioned
where a good share of the business
of saloon goes across the way to
a newly organized social clubs bar
Is it any the less business be-
cause it has changed it's location to
one of greater privacy?
Now another phase of the prob
lem. After all, the argument of the
social club really rests upon it's lin
tied membership and its privacy.
The public is not invited and can
not come in. The saloon welcomes
the public. At first glance this
looks like the turning point of the
whole subject, but will It stand
analysis? A club starts with a
membership of 100 and this is
fixed as the limit. The public is
surely welcomed up to this limit,
but the restrictions as to qualifica-
tons of members may exclude a
goodly portion of the public. How
ever, this club is great success
and some one conceives the idea of
starting another; it has a limit, too,
say 500; it welcomes the public a
little more freely. 1t succeeds and
Is SO good a thing that somebody
who has not gotten into either of
the others starts a third; it has a
limit, also, 1000, and the public
gets a stronger invitation up to the
limit. Then a bright fellow gets
! the notion that a club without any
limit might be a coed thing; bona
hde all right, but the public has a
strong invitation to join, and the
club being so large, the fee for en-
trance is not burdensome and the
dues are mild The only restriction
1t really makes is the entrance fee

j. H.: To retain your charming com.
plexion your tender skin needs bet
ter protection against sunburn, tan
and freckles than face powder. There
is no finer complexion beautifier to be
had than the lotion made by dissolving
four ounces of spurmax in half pint
hot water, adding two teaspoonfuls of
glycerine. While the use of this lotion
cannot be detected when applied to the
face, neck and arms, it transforms an
ordinary complexion into one of girl
ish attractiveness. 1t does not show
or rub off like face powder and holds
against perspiration. Spurmax lotion
will clear up and whiten any sallow
skin and make it youthful and charm
ing. 1t is unequalled for overcoming
that shiny, greasy look which is SO
troublesome to SO many ladies.
Helen: You are taking quite risk
using dry shampoos" for, unless the
powder is brushed out thoroughly, it
will clog up the pores in the scalp and
cause dandruff. You can shampoo thor

prepared shampoos. owing to the alkali
they contain, which tends to kill the
hair, making it dull, faded and streaky,
want you to try shampoo made
from one teaspoonful of canthrox dis
solved in a cup of hot water, and l
know you will be more than pleased
with the results. This shampoo lath-
ers splendidy, cleanses thoroughly and
dries quickly. 1t will stop itching scalp
remove dandruff and leave the hair
bright, soft and fluffy. This shampoo
has given such excellent satisfaction
that it is now being used exclusively
by many hairdressers.
Summer Girl: To remove superfuous
hair from the face or forearms. mix a
little delatone with enough water to
make a paste: cover the skin from
which you wish to remove the hair
with this paste; let it remain two or
three minutes: then wipe out the paste
and wash the skin with warm water.
BE sure that you get the deiatone from
your druggist in the original one-ounce
package. II he hasn't it he can get it
for you from his wholesaler. 1t retails
for one dollar an ounce. and an ounce
is sufficient for your use. The hair
may return after the first application
but it will be thin and very light in
color. Two or three applications Of
delatone will permanently remove the
hair.
