George A. Teter today wrote a letter
to the state Journal, protesting against
the ordinance TO prohibit hitchins
teams on the avenue He claims that
the avenue is public highway and
that is thus for the use Of all citizens
His letter follows:
Topeka. kan. Aug. IA.
Z saw in the State Journal Saturday
that Mayor Billiard and the city com
rnissiOners are passing an ordinance To
prohibit teams from being hitched IN
the avenue. I wonder if they think
they think they own the street. They
must remember that Kansas avenue is
a public highway and it is free for all
The city has no right to interfere with
the pubIic's rights on a public highway
except for improvements.
If any one wants TO tie a horse or a
team on public highway ne has not
committed any Offeuse because the
street Is for the benefit of the public.
It is none of the mayors or commits
sioners business If a horse or team is
hitei1ed on the public highway as long
as they don't blockade travel.
They have no right whatever to ar
rest man or fine him for tying a team
On a public highway The ordinance is
nothing but a scheme to give the auto
mobiles full sway over the horses, ami
the machines have no more right there
than teams.

SOCIALISTS HAVE
TROUBLE With LAW

The socialists of Mohave county
have one of the hardest mathematical
problems ever submitted to the people
TO solve. The primary election laws
of the territory. under which the
forthcoming election is to be held, re-
quires that to have the name of any
candidate printed upon the official
ballot Of the party the signatures of at
least 3 per cent and not above 10 per
cent of the voters of that party in at
least One-fourth of the precincts of
the county must first be obtained
Mohave county had twenty-sev vot-
ing precincts at the last general cleo
ton and the socialist candidate for
delegate to congress received fifty
three votes. On this basis candidates
to have their names on the ticket
must not get more than five names
on their petition to comply with the
law, while on the other hand it would
take seven names to cover One-fourth
of the precincts required by the law.
How TO do it and how not to do it is
the burning questien-Mohave County
