can come to the American people is
some permanent plan whereby the con

For a long time the high cost of
living has been discussed by the rich
and poor alike. Many theories have
been advanced, and many plans sug
gested, but no practical steps taken.

was time to do something. On Sept

potatoes, which, according to the mar

fact that the crop appeared to be about
as large as usual.

Only Small Issues Possible Under
Law Until After 1926, Says
TOTAL OF 1928, 900 OUT,
RUNNING 14sTO 10 YEARS
Exception Made in Favor of Wa
ter Supply or Sewer Service,
Which Lets Out Proposed
$500, 900 Sewer Issue

The city of North Yakima cannot
issue bonds, except for sewer service
or water supply purposes. to Che
extent of more than about 100000
more than the present outstanding
bonds, until after the year 1926, and
to prevent recurrence of such a
condition, which may yet seriously
hamper the city's public improve
ments, the present commission has
adopted the fixed policy of providing
for an option to buy in any bonds
to be sold.
The revelation of this condition has
come to the commissioners through
their reorganization of the city de-
partments, and particularly the finan-
cial affairs, under the supervision OF
Commissioner of Finance Wilbur
,Crocker.
Only a rapid increase of valuation
of property or direct tax levies will
make possible improvements which
the city may. need within the Ia years
before the first of the outstanding
bond issues become due.
Bonded Nearly to Limit
The law provides that the city may
issue bonds only to the extent of )
per cent of the assessed valuation of
property, except for purposes of water
supply and sewer service. Five per
cent of the present valuation is about
$4,000
The present bond issues outstanding
total $32S,000 which cannot be re-
called until due, and running from
IA to 10 years yet, and one issue of
refunding bonds, 100000, sold by the
present commission, on which the city
has the option of purchase at any
time.
Interest must be paid by the city
on the 1925, 600 at the rate of 4 " and
5 per cent until they are due. 1t is
impossible to recall them without the
consent of the purchasers, which is
practically out of the question. as
bond purchasers with an assured re-
turn on an investment have consist
emily refused To part with their Sc
curities until due.
Does Not Affect Sewer Bonds

BALTIMORE y July. IA weary,
bedraggleds s and peeyish aggregation
7 of. delegates TO the, national demo-
( cratic convention drifted into the
convention hall tonight with a long
sdreary night in prospect. The con-
troversies of the, past week have put
the delegates out of hunor and the
crowd was irritable and excitable.
The tensity of the situation was
shown in the. semi-riot on the floor
Of the convention this afternoon
when Bryan found himself in the
midst of half score OF fist fights.
The tenseness of the situation led
many leaders to believe that the
nomination would occur before the
others contended it impossible for an
agreement on any candidate now be-
fore the convention NY
Another futile attempt to reach an
agreement occurred tonight between
Chairman Mack, Leader Murphy and
others while they We're at dinner to-
gether. The failure of conferees to
arrive delayed the calling of the night
session nearly half an hour. After a
prayer Chairman James ordered the
thirty fifth ballot. The rumored
break in Illinois did not come, but
the break in the Michigan delegation
came according to schedule. All but
three of the thirty votes were cast
for Wilson. This gave Wilson fifteen
additional votes. Clark lost fourteen
and Underwood remained unchanged.
On the thirty-seventh Clark lost TIVE.
Wilson remained unchanged and I'm
derwood gained two.
On the thirty-eighth ballot Clark
lost z ", Wilson gained and UNDER
wood gained ~. ~
AS the night wore on and no re-
suit the delegates became more if
ritable and Kisses and half-hearted
cheers greeted the few successive can
didates This spirit resulted in row
which the police were obliged to in
terfere and eject those involved in
nuarrels In the thirty-ninth Colo
RADIO broke, Wilson getting one Of
the twelve votes of that state, Iowa
gave Wilson two more Clark votes
which started a Wilson demonstra-
ton. The tired delegation did not
respond enthusiastically and aided by
the police the uproar was soon quiet
ed. Wisconsin gave Wilson another
Clark vote which put Wilson above
the 500 mark. Underwood's vote
was unchanged
Clark Gains a Few
On the fortieth vote Clark regained
one Iowa vote but gained one in
Ohio, leaving as the only net change
In ballot a gain of one for Clark and
loss OF one for Harmon. The forty
first ballot showed less than two for
Wilson and a gain of two for Clark.
Attempts to adjourn had been made
after the fortieth and forty-first ball
lots and during the progress OF the
forty-second great disorder prevailed
