This Is but another demonstration OF
the fact, which all the world recog-

1t is an action of psychology that
the spoken word has more force than
the written word. The drama bites
deeper into the memory and the sub

When the spoken word is accompa-
MED by the sensuous appeal Of action,
by the glitter and CLEAN of lights, and
bulwarked by the presence of an audi
ence, most of whom are known to the
sensitive onlooker, the suggestive
force is increased to the highest
power.

Bryan People Have Absolute Proof Of

It's not words but deeds that prove

The deeds OF Doan's Kidney Pills,
For Bryan kidney sufferers,
Have made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony Of Bryan

Mrs. S. E. Beard, 70 Robertson St.,
Bryan, Texas, says: -Four years ago
| learned Of the merit of Doan's Kid
ney Pills when suffering from kidney
trouble. The disease was inherited l
believe. Doan's Kidney Pills proved
superior to any other remedy / ever
used. A relative also took this prepa-
ration with good results. l procured
Doan's Kidney Pills at Emmel's drug
store and do not hesitate to recon-
mend them"
The above statement was given
May 2S, 1908, and when Mrs. Beard

WOMEN VOTE IN SEATTlE;
SINGLE TAX is AN ISSUE.

Seattle, Wash, March 5.-Almost as
many women as men will vote in to-
days municipal election in Seattle. In
addition to the choice Of mayor, the
voters will pass on the Erickson sin
gle tax amendment to the city charter,
the essentials of which are as follows
/. The Erickson amendment affects
only city taxes, and not county or
state taxes.
2. 1t exempts from city taxes all
improvements on lands; that is, build
ings of all kinds, factories, personal
property, machinery, tools, stocks of
goods. household goods, etc.
g. 1t taxes land values only, wheth-
er there are buildings on the land or
not, and it taxes the franchises Of
public service corporations, such as
the electric, gas and telephone COM
panies.
The total tax rate for state, county,
city and schools is now SO on $500 of
assessment. The portion of this tax
for city purposes is IA mills, or $1.40
on 500 assessed valuation, nearly one
half of the total taxation.
The general effect of the Erickson
amendment, If adopted, will be to take
nearly half of the total tax for all pur-
poses, state, city, county and school,
off personal buildings and personal
property, and this tax will fall on land
and franchises. Thus the burden of
supporting the city government will
be largely shifted from the homes to
business property The taxes on resi-
dence property will be much less, and
on property in the business districts,
whether improved or not, will be much
larger.

Opelousas, La, Aug. 6, 1912.
Hon. q. L. Loeb. Mayor, Ope-
lousas, La
Sir:
Ihave your verbal request of
this date, asking for a written
opinion from me on the t W o
propositions. viz:
l. Can the Board of Alder
men issue certificates of indebt-
edness, pledging future revenues
of the city, in payment of debts
contracted prior TO the issuance
Of such certificates?
q Has the city a legal right
to assume the indebtedness of an
independent chartered organiza-
ton? Or, of individuals 2"
As to the first proposition, I
might almost answer it by quot
ing Section 81 of the City
Charter, which reads as follows:
All expenditures Of money
for any purpose whatever, shall
be in pursuance of a specific APP
preparation made by order, and
in no other manner. Every war
rant drawn on the treasury shall
express on its face to whom IS
sued and for what purpose al
lowed; and the ordinance author
izing its issue shall be cited by
minute book and page, in or upon
it.
Along this line, Section PAS.
of the Revised Statutes of this
State, provides:

eral parishes, and the constituted
authorities Of incorporated towns

badly and is In need OF repairs.
The Electric Light engine is in
first class condition as is the dy-
namo it runs, but the exeter is
in need of some minor repairs.
This engine and dynamo while in
every respect a first class piece
of machinery is too large to use
on the smaller loads.
The air-compressar thatis used
to pump water from the well is
in about as bad a condition as a
piece of machinery can get and
still run. The water pump is in
a worse condition than the air
compressor and is likely to break
down any minute and leave the
City with no water supply until
Iitcan be patched up again. There
is an awful waste of fuel in this
part of the plant and immediate
steps should be taken to install
electrictically driven pump and
compressor.
The outside wiring is in bad
condition. There are only q of
the arc lamps in shape to burn
and most of these need n e
shunt coils and can not give the
proper amount of light until they
get them. The balance of the
arc lamps have been replaced by
tungsten lamps put up in a tenn
porary manner. There is no pro
lection against lightning on the
outside lines but / have arranged
to put up lightning arresters
without further delay.
/ have started TO check up the
light meters and find that most
of them are fast. A great many
meters are going to burn out and
will have to be replaced from
time to time. There are also a
number of customers that have
no meters. There are 327 water
customers this month. Out of
this number there are only 81
that had meters that would reg
lister. The rest either have dead
meters or no meters at all. It
viii cost a great deal of money
to fix these meters and / am GO
ing to try for the present TO fix
the meters on the customers
known to be large users of water
as it is impossible to correct them
all. The total amount of water
registered by the water meters
in service amounted to lob, 875
gallons or about one-quarter of
the total amount of water that
was pumped. There was prob
ably a considerable loss of rev.
enue in this part of the service.
A very large part of the loss
this month has been due to the
fan service which can not be ex-
peeted to pay as the engine is too
large to run with no load and if
the fan service is continued the
loss is bound to continue.
l wish TO also report that the
horse we have been using on our
trouble wagon died last night in
spite of q we could do for him
and seInearrangenlent should be.
made to have him replaced.
