l. t5 What's It For?
PUBLIC OPlNlON

Editor, Dear Sir:
 Permit me to remark to the voters, Patrick Henry said, He knew Of no way to judge the future except by the past" am still in the same noat- The pastmasters in the mayoralty come out with statements that did not n1aterialize. A very good size of a mans ca1ibre is what he says bridge at State St. is the size of the mcnts should be and are of the same importance. He condemns the person al tax collection by appointment of the former Mayor and wants the same and more authority, and that tax col lection certainly could and should De by the regular tax collector, only the Mayors children must have $4,SVo year. Is there any reason to, believe the present ocHial would do other- wise? Se1f-perpetuating boards and mayors who ask for power to continue or discontinue whatever their whir11- sical fancy at the passing moment pIeases them should be recalled.
 There is no person who reads this, and no voter who does not know that a sewer six to eight feet in diameter, run out from the pumping points des- ignated to law water, would forever be each built for the cost of each pumping plant; for each plant would have to be built in duplicate, and ev, ef1 then, these would break down, and the whole business stopped, in which case the most disa strous epidemic of sickness would be the outcome How the DOdSLSQ 1nI0llISenC0 Ol lLO eANO- cates of this scheme can be so fool ed is past my ability to comprehend. As to the cost, the S1,2O0,000 would have to be multiplied by three, making s, ,600, ,OOo; then the yearly cost to run would be anywhere from s1o0,000 up l. is a standing blot of ignorance, stigma of disgrace for any man to call himself an engineer who propos- es, advocates or backs this pumping business. The voters should and think will smash this business and teach the so-called engineers and bloated politicians a deserved lesson.
 It would be good practice to have on exhibition for sufficient time a plan of the proposed poor house, and bids for the erection submitted. If this method were used, a vote could be se- cured for it.
 As to the Seaside Park scheme, there is more park now than the people use. Let the park rest till the people can put a sea-waI straight across from the lighthouse to the low water mark on Fairweather Island. in which case enough territory could be secured to pay for the wall.
 The first and second district tax should certainly be adjusted. By the layout, there appears no way only to make one tax apply to all.
 Hoping this will meet the approval Of the voters and little tax payers.

LET NATION OWN BANKS.

Editor of The Farmer, Sir:
 To one familiar with the inner work ings of the monetary systen1, to even a slight degree, it appears like a great iron wheel that is operated in the packing houses. qt-
 The wheel has a solid face; the force that moves it is- unseen; it is located alongside the chutes where the hogs are driven in; it constantly revolves alongside the hogs that are in the chute, and as it revolves, a clamp or chain on the wheel is made to fasten to~the hind leg of hog after hog, and no matter how large he is, the wheel is larger and stronger, and hoists MT. hog by the leg in spite of anything he can do, and when he is transferred to an overhead rail by the wheel, his throat is cut, and he is sent kicking and squealing to the scalding vat. That puts an end to his career. No matter how large or strong the individual or concern may be in a financial way, if it moves, it must be down the chutes of business habits and customs, and alongside this chute operates the banking and financial system. Put there by law, none can escape it's clutch except by death, like the hog in the chute.
 This can be remedied only through an understanding of the power that moves the. wheel. That power is the law. Should the nation own the banks it would not mean Socialism, but it would mean step in the dlrec- ton of destroying the most cruel of all methods of exploitation knosvn to capitalism.
 Human beings will never be satis- fed until they obtain complete eman- cipation from capitalist rule.

WHY BANKERS REJECT
 ALDRICH CURRENCY PLAN

Detroit, Sept. 13-''The name Ald- rich just now seems to have the same rag would have on a buII' declared Col. F. E. FarnsWorth secretary of the American Bankers Association, in explaining why the association has currency plan. T do not believe there was man in our convention who really was opposed to the plan but the fact that A1drich's naTne was at tached and that two of the parties declared against it naturally infIuenc- ed our members. So now we are for any plan that will reform our curren- cy and remedy existing abuses and not for one specific propoeition.''

Judge Carter: "But these per-
centages of the gross earnings are
taken out before the company di-

You ought to know definitely
what they are for, Mr.. Arnold"

TEMPE STEPS ONE
 0N JANUARY | 1913
Free Delivery as We'll as Parcels Post
 Among New Departures Here.

Tempe in common with many other fortunate communities will inaugurate the parcels post system as an adjacent to the post office service tomorrow. But this is not all that is coming to Tempe as a New Years gift. The new city delivery also goes into effect in the morning. This feature will take the regular mails received in Tempe to the business offices and stores and resi- dences of the city. just as is the case in much larger communities.
 Postoffice Inspector C. F. Button will go over the city delivery district to- morrow in order that everything may be started off with the greatest de gree of efficiency. One peculiarity however exists in the supposed free de- livery service and that is unless pat rons of the office ask for the service it will not be extended. This however does not prove as hard requirement as it seems on the face of 1t. In most of the cities establishing new routes or free delivery the first consideration is to send either a solicitor or carrier around to every house that it is pro- posed to serve by the system and get 
 mail at that place. Then this is listed in the route book of the carrier and he starts out with everything in shape.
 The city council has promised to do it's part and an ordinance has been drawn up requiring streets to be named and street signs put up, IS well as the house to be numbered. The patrons of the free delivery are also expected to facilitate matters by providing some receptacle in which the mail can be placed by the letter carrier. There will be two deliveries each day, except Sunday. The first delivery will be in the forenoon and the second delivery in the bushes district only of the mail that comes in on the Winkleman train and such other mail as may have ac- cumulated for the bushes district be- tween the two trains
 With regard to the parcels post sys- tenn the postmaster announces that in formation and instructions will gladly be given to any who may inquire at the postOffice.
