COULDN'T OBTAIN
HORSEHAIR CORNER

CHICAGO, Oct. 3l.-A corner in
white horsehair for the making of i'm
imitation aigrets for womens hats
came to an abrupt and melancholy end
in Chicago because the heavy pur-
chases of white horsehair aroused the
curiosity of dealers The story is
romance of the new tariff law. One
manufacturer who had originality as
well as artistic instinct decided that
he could make a very satisfactory
imitation of an imported aigret by
using white hoTsehair instead cf feath-
ers Of certain birds. The new tariff
law is very drastic for il compels Gus
tom house inspectors to remove and
confiscate the prohibited articles
when worn on the bOnnets of incom-
ing tourists. Delighted with his idea
of substitute for feathers he set out
to procure the material. All went well
for a few days but he was simply hOr-
rified one morning 10 be told that the
price of white hOrsehair had just

The explanation was simple when he
had found it. When he bought the
horsehair the sellers naturally looked
up his commercial standing. They
found that he was a maker OF feath-
er goods. The next question was
What on earth was maker of feath-
er goods doing with White horsehair?"
They soon found out that he was buy

WASHINGTON, Oct 31.-Discus-
sion Of the valuation of the property
of public utilities, especially of rail
roads, took up the time of the dele
gates attending the annual meeting
of the National Association of Rail
road Commissioners here today.
Max Thelan, member of the Cali
fornia Railroad Commission and at
torney for the commission, cited var
ious decisions of the Supreme Court
to show that as yet that court has
not definitely established the basis
on which public utility rates are to
be calculated.
while the court has said that the
fair value" Of the property is to be
used as the basis, it has not clearly
analysed what constitutes a fair val
ue," said Mr.. Thelan. 1t is particu-
larly clear that the court has not yet
given final consideration to the ire
mendously important questions of
the appreciation in the land value and
the return on donated land.
Discusses Relationship.
Mr.. Thelan proposed a reconsider
alton of the whole question.
1.-THE fundamental relationship be-
tween the public and public utilities
is that of principal and agent. Out
of this relationship logically should
grow the proper basis for determin-
ing the rates which public utility
is entitled to charge" he said.
ut seems clear that the public util-
tiles are entitled to a reasonable re-
turn upon such money as they hon
estly and wisely expend for the pub
lie, but that they should not be al

RECEIPTS
MUST Be SHOWN
Farmers Compelled to Pre-
sent Certificate for
Tax Credit.

The mistake of giving receipts for
road work to county land owners was
made this summer and fall by many
road supervisors of the county. The
law provides that receipts for road
work done to cover $40 taxes shall be
filed with the trustees of the town
ship in which the work was done, and
the county treasurer can not give
credit on tax duplicates except on
receipts received from the trustee.
A number of Wayne township tax
payers who did $40 worth of work on
roads have come into the Office of
Treasurer Chamness asking credit on
taxes payable not later than Novem-
Der 8. Mr.. Chamness told the tax
payers to file the receipts with the
township trustee, and that they will
be given credit for the work on the
1914 spring tax duplicate.
A duplicate receipt may be given
by the road supervisor for the work,
but the original must be turned in to
the trustee. The trustee must give
the receipts to the treasurer not later
than December 1.
Unless the receipts held by indi-
viduals are filed with the trustee by
December l, no credit can be given
for the work, according to law.

BARTENDERS IN LABOR
TEMPLE-FIRST VISIT TO

The cooks, walters, mattresses and
bartenders met in joint session last
Monday evening to greet their inter
national president, Edward Flore, of
Buffalo, N. Y. This is Mr.. Flores
first visit 70 Everett, in fact to the
northwest, and he expressed himself
as being very much impressed with
this section of the country. He compli-
mented the Everett locals very highly
for the splendid shape they We're in
and stated that it was little short of
remarkable that the bartenders were
100 per cent organized so soon after
the local option election. Mr.. Flore
in his address touched on many mat
ters pertaining to his organization and
spoke of the labor movement general
Iy He urged upon the members the
necessity Of cooperating with every
other union in the city.
'In view of the continual agitation
going on against the liquor business,
it behooves our people to be up and do
ing" said Mr.. Flore. IF we expect
aid from other trade unionists, we
must so conduct ourselves that the
general public will hold us worthy OF
respect. To a great extent the future
of our livelihood lies in our own hands"
A crowded hall listened to President
Flore and at the conclusion of his ad
dress, refreshments were served and
the membership given an opportunity
to become personally acquainted with
him.
He will return East by way of Spo-
kane and expects to be on the Sound
again in November, attending the A, F.
