IT WAS CERTAINLY A
SWEEPING SALARY RAISE
AT YESTERDAY'SSESSION

As the result of "you tickle
me and 1 tickle you" policy, the
city council yesterday made the
most sweeping salary raise ever
known at the city hall. Commits
sioners Mills and Lawson led the
onslaught on the city treasury.
When the rest saw how they were
going they all jumped in and
before they got through the sal
aries of nearly 800 city employees
had been raised anywhere from
So to 500 a month.
Controller Meads had not
thought of asking for any raise
in his department, but when he
saw the way things were going
he leaped into the arena and got
a raise for all his 500 clerks to
$95, had his brother-in-law Great
ed deputy and raised from 500
to $125, and raised his lady
stenographer from SIS to 500.
Commissioner Freeland had not
thought of raising his men, but
he too caught the inspiration,
put all his 800 clerks to $95, and
then after the meeting started
out to get raises for the balance.
Commissioner Lawson went
right through his office and
raised practically everybody from
SIS to $25. Mills did the same in
both police and fire departments.
The mayor had his municipal
dock employees raised, as they
were the lowest paid employees in
the city.
Commissioner Woods raised
the engineering department scale
all along the line, excepting the
chief, and got a raise for Chief
Clerk Metzger from $3.50 to $175.

HORSE EPIDEMIC
In WASHINGTON

DR.. r. A. Button, veterinarian
of Tacoma, says the disease caus-
ed by forage mold, which took
100000 worth of horses from
Kansas farmers causing them a
loss of $4,000, 000 because of in
ability to harvest crops, is also
in this state. The mold on She
plants is due to lack of sunlight.
1t causes a spinal meningitis in
the horse and unless given radi-
cal treatment within "a hours
after it starts there is little hope
of saving the animal.
Only about so per cent of
those treated from the start can
be saved anyway.

After exhausting the city pay
roll, Mills insisted on lacking $25
to the salary of Dudley Eshel-
man, secretary of civil service,
and loyal democrat.
Then the council capped the
climax by raising the salary of
City Attorney Stiles from $500
to $500 a month.
After he thought it over
awhile, Mayor Seymour conclud-
ed it was bad days work, and
spells disaster for the administra-
ton. From present indications,
it will mean about $4,000 added
to the already swollen roll,
which reached the figures of
$S1,043 in November.
