THOSE DEPOSITS
Water Commissioner Doesn't
Know About Refund.
High Rates Not Lowered, but in
Cases Made Higher.

Commissioner Frank L. Newland
hasn't refunded any deposits yet. In
fact, 1870 has been received in deposits
since the first of the month. Also, a
postcard has been sent to city water
patrons notifying them that water will
be cut off in 20 days if an account is
not paid, and that a fee of 81 will
be charged before the water will be
turned on again. People are Directing,
objecting strenuously. Terms made
harder instead of easier-no sign of a
lowering in rates. In fact, the State
Journal has knowledge of specific COM
plants where the rates have been dou-
bled the past month.
I. D. Humphreys. a Topeka lawyer,
has written the water department a
curt letter of complaint. Mr.. Humph-
reys doesn't object to paying his bill
in person in accordance with the new
rule outlined in the first paragraph of
the postcard. But he considers the
20-day arrangement mo- only the su-
preme essence of nerve but an insult
to the intelligence of the water users"
Under corporate ownership, the
minimum water charge Z month was
20 cents. Under municipal ownership
1T is 40 cents observes Mr.. Humph-
reys. yea, verify, how the poor tax
payer is humbugged.''
Mr.. Newland based his whole cam
paign on refund of deposits and lower
ing of WAGER rates. Taxpayers aren't
demanding excessive speed; home
wasn't built in a day; but they want

Washington, April 26.-Bab BIOLOGY.
a new science, as the subject and all
the millions of mothers in the United
States as pupils, is the program of
Uncle Sans newest school, the chill
dren's bureau. according to Miss Julia
Lathrop, the schoolmistress of this
latest addition to the government de-
partments.
In her first authorized interview
since her appointment, Miss Lathrop
today told all about the plans and
achievements of the bureau.
For the benefit of the humble moth
er of the tenement and the beJeweled
mother of the palatial mansion, the
bureaus investigators are searching
through the cities finding out all about
the conditions under which babies are
born and reared-or buried-and
everywhere. Miss Lathrop said, moth
ers are eager to help the cause and
spread the doctrines of modern baby
craft
The results of these studies will be
given to the mothers of the country,
SO that all of them-from the man
sion to the hovel-can real and I'M
derstand the lesson they irnpart.
To See Why Children Are Weak.
This bureau has been formed to
serve the needs of the 291 million
children in America" Miss Lathrop
said 'It is trying to find out why
children flourish, why they are weak
and puny, why they die. 1t used to be
a cheerful medical theory that it was a
good thing weakly children died in
infancy; that it meant only the strong
and well grew up.
THAT theory has been exploded. To-
day medical authorities say the death
of these babies handicaps their
brothers and sisters, and that there is
no surer indication of the health rate
of a nation than the death rate of
babies less than one year old.
THE first step in this work. has
been an inquiry begun to determine in
FAINT mortality. The bureau is secur-
ing data in a series of industrial towns
as to the fate of the children born with
in the period of a year. 1t is finding
out just how those children have Jared
whether they are healthy, dead or
weak and ailing.
No medical data. are sought. The So
cial and economic condition of the par
ents; their lives, industrially and hy-
chemically, before and since marriage,
the protection the city is giving the
baby in the way of clean streets milk
inspection, disposition of sewage and
food shop regulation are the things we
want to know.
THE composite reports. to be pub
lished in a series of monographs such
as bulletins on milk, plant and animal
industry will be a series of pictures
of infant life as We have found it. We
will tell how children have passed the
first year of their lives-why some have
died and others lived
Briefly, these infant mortality bulle-
tins and all that follow will be an eff
fort to. disseminate and popularize
scientific knowledge in a manner that
will be understood and possessed by
every mother in all stations of life"

10 90 L.
When are you going to refund the
deposits?" Mr.. Newland was asked.
Cant say he responded.
This SUMNER
Cant say"
Before the first of the year?"
Don't know"
Following is the letter in which Mr..
Humphreys voices his opinion of the
situation:
THE City Waterworks Office.
Il am in receipt of your postal card
relative to the new method of collecting
water bills. 1 have no objection to
that change.
Now in regard to the second para
graph on your postal card relating to
cutting off water in 20 days if accounts
are not paid and the charging a fee of
81 to turn ON the water again. Don't
you think a suggestion of that kind
is not only the supreme essence of gall
but an insult to the intelligence of the
water users, each of whom has been
held up for 81 per service to protect
the water department against loss, be-
fore they could get water at all? If
this is to be the practice, I now and
at once demand the immediate return
of the 81 that I have been sandbagged
out of: 81 at 513 Kansas avenue and 81
at 1906 Harrison street. There can be
no further excuse for the city holding
this money of the citizens. 1 under
stood Newland before the election to
have pledged the voters that these 81
deposits would be returned and it would
appear to the disinterested observer
that these deposits should be returned
of your postal was circulated. Has
Newland also handed US a gold brick?
Very truly yours,
