WATER Rentals ARE
NOW BEING REVISED
WHERE PAYMENTS ARE TOO
MUCH SLICED. NOT ENOUGH
ADDED no.

An individual with smiling counte-
nance and beaming eyes walked into
the Office Of the Water works depart
ment at the city hall. chief Clerk
Ellis looked up from his task sur
prlsIngly. Such a sight was uncom-
mon to Ellis, for when they usually
visit the water works office it is to pay
water rent and as rule the visitors
are not in any too good humor.
Whats the matter with the water
works. asked the stranger by way Of
Introduction, Ellis glanced at him
again, this time somewhat pitylngly.
After an he mused, this fellow
must be the same old kicker"
Nothing that | know of" the office
yOu?"
We'll, it's this way replied the
visitor I'm "A user Of the city water.
have Just received a notification that
my water rent has been cut down.
Something is evidently wrong"
The somber face of the water works
man frightened,
wy uNtl ollt Nv StlNl tHt process
is perfectly all right We have found
that you have been paying above the
usual rates for your water There
fore we corrected our mistake"
This is one of the actual scenes that
have transpired at the water works
office during the past few days It
all comes about through the three
month inspection of every water SER
vice in the city, which has Just been
completed. This inspection was made
for the purpose of ascertalning just
how many consumers We're getting
what they paid for and Just how many
more were receiving more water than
they paid for, or were paying for
more water than they received.
AS result of the inspection the
water works revenues will be consid-
erably increased, for in scores of cases
1t has been found that many consum-
ers have added more stock to their
premises since they were given their
rate. or have otherwise changed
things so as 20 he using more water
than they formerly did. In these cases

THIRTY million
BANK DEPOS|T0RS
BANKS OWE FIVE TIMES AS MUCH
MONEY AS THERE Is
IN COUNTRY.
PLAN MONETARY REFORM
Nom Partisan Business Mems Leagues
Formed In Half the States
of the Union.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6,-The cam
paign of education" for the reform of
the countrys panic breeding banking
system is the biggest non-partisan ma
ticnal movement ever undertaken. The
business mems organization, the Ma
tional Citizens league, proposes TO
preach the gospel of sound banking
until there is unanimous demand
from the wage earners and wage pay
ers of the country for reform.
The sound money campGlgn. fifteen
years ago, was bitter partisan strus
gle; the sound banking campaign will
be non-partsan. The leading demo-
cratic members of the congress, es-
pecially the southern leaders, are as
keen as President Taft to keep bank
ing reform out of politics. The big
men in Washington on both sides of
the political fence insist that the only
kind of a banking and currency bill
that congress will agree upon will be
one that will safeguard the proposed
cooperative banking association
against both politics and Wall street,
Hundreds Of thousands OF manu-
facturers. merchants, farmers, bank
ers and wage earners will be enrolled
in the league, which Is now making
an appeal for small subscriptions
throughout the country John V. !
Farwell. the Chicago merchant, at the
head of the league. announces that
organizations have been perfected in
twonty six states.
The campaign of education will
reach every bank depositor and every
wage Garner In the country, because
bank deposiiors and wage earners are
the people who suffer most severely
from the panics caused by bad
banking system. The banks of the !
country now have on their books 30,- |
100000 individual deposits. The last
returns from the government show |
that the banks owe their 1000. 900 |
depositors the enormous sum OF sie,-
boO.000.OoO. which Is nearly five |
times as much money as there is
actual money in the whole country.

NEAR BEER HOPES
GO BY THE BOARD
RULES
ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES
AGAINST SALE OF ANY MALT
LIQUOR.

Especial To The Richmond NtrCinian.l
RALEIGH. \. &, July S1.-The ques-
ton is coming Up to the attorney
general from various sections of the
state AS TO the status of malt in the
light ~ the near beer prohibition act
and sections Of the revenue act. there
being demands made un county and
city authorities that licenses to sell
malt liquors at an annual license tax
II $40 be granted in spite Of the pro-
visions Of he near beer act that pro-
hiblS. the sale Of liquors With any
alcohol in H.
The demands are being made on the
ground that section 81 Of the revenue
acl provides a license tax of $40 for
selling malt" Attorney general
Beckett rules that this provision of
the revenue act ia in no way in CON
aiet with the near~beer prohibition
act and that It applies only to the snle
OF the dry malt product~-the malt from
harley or other grain that has been
stepped in water and dried la kiln.
this being the strict definition OF malt
given In the dictionaries
The attorney general holds that the
license tax has no reference whatever
to any sales of malt liquors. II has
been feared by many that tho appar
ent conflict would afford loop hole
for evasion Of the act prohibiting near
beer and similar drinks.

FORESEES OUTCOME
OF RECIPROCITY

OTTAWA, July 3l.--A strong argu-
ment was placed In the hands of the
advocates of reciprocity to-day when
Clifford Sifton, formerly minister of
the interior and member of parlia-
ment from Brandon, Manitoba, for
the past fifteen years, announced his
resignation. He is an opponent of re-
ciprocity and there is ample ground
for the liberals claim that he fore
sees the outcome of the reciprocity
controversy.
The same motive is believed by the
liberals to lie behind the announce
ment of Henri Bourassa, leader of
the nationalist party in Quebec, that
he will not be a candidate for re-
election.
The campaign promises to be one
of the most bitter Canada has ever
seen. Reciprocity Will be the main
issue, but there VIII be incidental con-
tests of extreme heat. The opposing
parties will bring all the alleged
scandals available before the electors.
this being especially true in the fight
to be made against the government.
Another fortnight Will see the cam
paign well under way.
IL is not probable that parliament

members to meet on October IL. The
