Mayor Lew" Shank, of Indianap-
oils who was in New York last
week, investigating the high cost of
living problem, is convinced that
the metropolis is almost hopelessly
in the grip of the middleman.

conditions here" declared the may
or, after studying the egg question
along the waterfront for an hour
or two," but here's a question that
ought to get the housewife thinking.
If a baker, buying direct. can get
eggs for Is cents a dozen, how
many middelmen must be taken
care of to make the same grade of
eggs cost the housewife A cents

ABOUT change in things here is a
scheme for having the price the
producer gets marked on every
sack. With potatoes, for instance.
the sack would carry tag showing
that the farmer got SO cents BUSH

"Ihe consumer probably would be
asked to pay 81 or more. He
woul d soon get to keeping track OF
such matters and then the thing
would work itself out.

fruit Trees Not Exempt from lakes

That fruit trees are private prop
erty and are not exempt from taxa
ton. holds the state tax commission
in letter addressed to the assessor
of Chelan county. In 1908 the leg
islature set aside as exempt from
taxation all fruit trees except nurs-
ery stock and forest trees artifcially
grown. The decisions OF the SUI
nreme couri subsequent to the pass
ace of this law have held the legis-
lature unable to exempt any proper

tax commission rules this proceed

future. In the past the rule has

The above statement and list of
signatures, secured in a brief can
vass yesterday, shows pretty clearly
the sentiment of property owners
on the proposed bond issue. A
great many more names might have
been secured had there been time:
It is gratifying to note the sigma
lures of number of well knpwn
citizens about whose attitude 10 the
matter there seems to have been
considerable Misrepresentation.
With reference to the matter of
prospective revenue from the pro-
posed water system, Mayor Capron
Epermits the Islander to quote him as
follows: "There is ample revenue
practically assured to pay all the in
terest Oh the proposed bond issue
and leave some surplus, without
counting upon the growth Of the

a sinking fund for the redemption
of the bonds. It is my firm belief
that the water system will pay for
itself without the levy of any direct
tax unless it should be deemed ad-
visable after few years to retire
the bonds before maturity and thus
save the interest charge. At least
$500 per year can be depended u; on

more can be counted upon from con-
sumers in the business part OF town

month each, and the revenue from
the residence portions of the town
from house owners who will want

Concerning the water question O.
H. Culver says: 1T is the most i'm
portant civic matter, in its bearing
upon the growth of the town and
the health and we'll being of the
people, that has ever come before the
voters of the municipality. or is ev-
er likel to cone before them. An
abundant water supply is the towns
greatest need. Trout lake admit
tedly affords the only source of an
adequate gravity system. 1t is a
meandered ;ake and the right of the
of the town to appropriate the water
FOR it's use is questionable. The
shore lands are of little value and if
a dam raises the level Of the lake
above the meander line. the own
ers of the few acres that might be
submerged could recover only actual
damages. which would be insignifi-
cant. AS they are nonresident
people of very large means. repre-
sented here by man who formerly
owned the land himself and who
has keen appreciation of the needs
of this community and has more
than once evinced a cheerful readi
ness to aid worthy projects in its in
terest, it is to be hoped that they
will readily concede all that can
consistently be asked Of them, viz,
the right to construct storage
dam and to lay the pipe line across
their land without asking any
damages" / have heard it said
that we have no assurance that If
we get the water we will get any

Even if that were true. which |

seems to me that there is little hope
of new industries without water,
which is one of the chief essentials
in milling. canning and kindred pro-
jects. Without it there is little pros
pect of lumber mill or electric
lights; with it we would speedily
have both. Without it we can have
no sewerage system. the lack Of

menace to the health of the COM
munity. Without it we are with

from which within the past year
have amounted to approximately one
half Of the proposed bond issue. |

lieve it will do far more than any
other possible improvement to stim-
ulate the growth Of the town. add
