THUNDER STOLEN,
Says T. D. HOvEY
Says He Long Ago Advocated Board
of Commerce Plan of Disposing
Of Garbage.

The Board of Commerce IL simply
stealing my thunder" said Frank d.
Hovey, whose crusade for clean al.
leys In Detroit IL Of recent memory.
with reference to the plan proposed
by the sanitation committee OF the
board for disposing OF the city's gar
bage and refuse.
The committee will advocate the
adoption of the Minneapolis system,
which requires that garbage oe
drained and wrapped In paper, and Il
will also urge the establishment of an
incineration plant. Mr.. Hoyey has
been talking incineration as the only
up-to-date method of disposing or
garbage for several months and the
plan Of wrapping the garbage In pa.
per is already in force In his immedi-
ate neighborhood.
Il am q member of the Board OF
Commerce and will be In sympathy
with anything II may do toward max.
ing cleaner Detroit, but I do not
like the way 1t has gone about this
thing" he said. IF the board had Co
operated with me In my fight for clean
alleys, might have accomplished
much more than / did. AS II Ia, the
alleys are cleaner now than at any
time before In the city's history. II
the Board OF Commerce had devoted
the same energy toward cleaning up
the alleys that II did In its anti-fiy
campaign, II might have accomplished
some tangible results. The way to
get rid OF flies is to deprive them OF
feeding grounds. The town Is just az
full of flies now as II was before the
campaign started. SO, you see, their
efforts went all for naught"
Mr.. Hovey says he had an ordinances
prepared, providing for practically
the same things the sanitation DOM.
mittee Is now advocating. II called
for the collection of the garbage In all
parts OF the city every three days, and
oItener when necessary. and Tor the
collection OF rubbish and ashes every
seven days. II made compulsory the
use of covered receptacles or brick,
cement or galvanized iron, and called
for the Minneapolis system insofar an
the wrapping of garbage was con-
cerned."
"Detroit should take steps immedi-
ately to provide for the incineration
or its carnage Wltnout ""tihe -
expiration OF Its contract with the De
troit Reduction Co.," says Mr.. hovey.
"The company, I understand, mao
broken the contract by failing TO erect
garbage receiving stations. SO the city
is no longer bound by 1t. Anyway,
that system of disposing OF garbage
IL way out OF date. We should nave
at least four incinerating plants, In
as many different parts OF the city
and we should buy the LAND now
while II can be purchased cheapiy
The Board of Commerce committees
has not announced its plans
The subject will be taken up soon
with the ordinance committee OF lne
common council, the public Works
commissioner, the health officer anu
the police commission.

Taft Urges Fair Play
for Business Enterprises

WATERLOO, Ia, Sept. 29.--In his
speech here last evening, on the rela-
ton of the government to the business
of the country, President Taft pleaded
for fair treatment for business enter
prises, and added that for one district
to persist In sectional vindicativeness
against the prosperity of another sec
ton would cause business chaos.
His speech follows:
NV Fellow Citizens: I wish to invite
your attention to the relation OF the
Federal government and the Federal
statutes 90 the business OF this coun-
try its legality and It's prosperity.
There are four most Important points
AT which the policies Of congress and
the Federal executive touch the busi-
ness OF this country In SUCH yital
have the greatest care, Industry, and
application characterize governmental
action in respect TO them. They are,
first in respect OF interstate commerce
and the regulation of railroads and the
rates OF transportation between tho
states: second. In the enforcement OF
the laws forbidding combinations TO
monopolize Interstate trade In indus
trial companies: third. in the amend
ment of tarin legislation al.ecting
chiefly the manufactures of the coun-
try; and, fourth. in the furnishing Tor
the use of the business of the coun-
try n proper banking and currency sys-
TEN which shall automatically give an
elastic currency, expanding and con-
tracing according 10 the business
methods. and Inspiring confidence In
the business community which sha-i
prevent panics.
First. In respect TO the regulation
OF railroads and the prompt remedying
OF unreasonable and unduly discrimin-
ating rates, we have progressed Tar

No Tobacco; No Work.

A strike is on at the county jail
because the county commissioners
have refused to furnish any more
tobacco for the prisoners who have
been working on the rock pile. The
prisoners have been receiving tobac-
co to the value of nearly three cents
a day per man and the bill for Sep
tember reached $14. The prisoners
have been doing good work for the
county and have earned, according
to the pay of other men working be-
side them, during the month of Sep
tember the sum of s727.60. After
taking out the cost Of guards, tobacco
and one meal a day there was still
profit to the county of $587.3O.
