Sec. 7 Of the franchise ordinance pro-
Vides that beginning ten years after
the passage of the franchise Ordi-
nance, which would be 1909, the COM
pany had to pay the city a percentage
of its gross receipts from the opera
ton of its plant.
This would be 8 per cent from 1909
to 1919, 5 per cent from 1919 to 1924
and Z per cent from 1924 to 1929,
when the franchise expires.
By buying only the TELEPHONE
PROPERTY Of the tunnel company,
the Bell concern, or Chicago Tele-
phone Co., would get out of paying
any percentage at all on the gross re
ceipts of the automatic telephone
business. And the tunnel company

wouldn't be getting any telephone
receipts.
If the city would investigate, it
might find out that already that for
fixture clause has been violated; for
it provides not only for forfeiture if
the tunnel company sells out, but if
it shall center into any agreement
with any existing telephone company,
or any Of its successors or assigns,
doing business in the city of Chicago,
which agreement would tend to make
competition imperative"
There is evidently some agreement
between the two companies now

ARE
WITHDRAWN
And Fight for MayOraIty HOnOrS
at Rockford Will Go
MerriIy On.

Mayor w. +. Penn, of Rockford, last
Tuesday filed protest with Clerk Gill
berg of the Deputy State Supervisors of
Elections against the petition of Justice
f. E. Jackson, of Rockford, candidate
against Penn for the Mayoralty at Rock
ford.
The protest alleged that Jackson s pc
tition was faulty, in that it did not con
tain the required number of signatures
and was not filed within the sixty-day
limit fixed by law, He also maintained
that Jackson was not eligible to hold the
office, since he is now serving as Justice
of the Peace of Dublin township.
Mayor Penn sort of comedies Jackson's
election in the latter statement, and we
presume the justice had better resign, so
may not lose the Office on an alleged
technica1ity.
Attorney Jackson's petition was filed
with Clerk Gilberg on September and
contained more than the required twen-
ty-fve signatures of qualified electors.
Mayor Penn yesterday afternoon with
drew his objections, and Jackson will
stay in the race.

THE GRIM REAPER

The remains of Wm. Betz, aged 25
years, who was killed at Nampa, Idaho,
August 30, arrived here Sunday morning
and were taken to the home of his aunt.
Mrs. Lige Miller, TouVelle street.
Funeral services were held by Rev
Koenig, of the Evangelical church, at
the Miller home Tuesday morning, after
which the remains were taken to Fl.
Recovery for burial.
Young Betz was fireman on the Ida
no Northern railroad, and was killed in
a freight wreck on Sunday, August 80,
together with the engineer of the loco
motive and brakeman.
The Nampa News in speaking Of the
accident, says:
THE death of Vim. Betz was doubly
sad for the fact that he was to be married
in few days to Miss Susan Myers, of
Portland. The young lady was notified
of the accident and is expected to arrive
in Nampa this evening. A brother of
Betz who resides at Portland was also
notified and he will arrive this evening
to take charge of the body which will be
shipped back to the old home in Celina,
Ohio, for burial. Since employed by
the Short Line the deceased made his
home at Glenns Ferry. He was about
rs years of age.
The dead body of Betz which is at the
Robinson undertaking parlor, shows
that he was horribly mangled. The
head and shoulders were badly mutilat-
ed The left side of his face and his
neck, arms, legs and back were broken,

DEMOCRATS ON
THE JOB
One Good Bunch Succeeds AnOth-
er In the Conduct Of COun-
ty's Fiscal Affairs.

Next Monday will see the newly
elected County COMMISSIONER Messrs.
Evers, Behrns and Brunswick-in charge
of the business affairs of the county.
The change in the Board Of Commits
sioners Is scheduled for midnight next
Sunday but it is hardly probable that
the three members-elect will be on haud
at that time 10 take over the keys their
predecessors, Messrs. Kiser Heiby and
Dillhoh, stand ready TO relinquish.
The new boara is regarded as a strong
one, well thought of by their neighbors
who know them for their worth, practi-
cal and successful farmers and very con-
scientious men. Each OF the three mem
bers-Bernard Evers, OF Marion town
ship; Henry Behrens, of Dublin, and
eX-Inhrmary Director Andrew Bruns-
wick, Of Granville-are big taxpayers
OF the county, progressive in their lean
ings toward public improvements, but
will consider the interests of all the peo-
pie of the county as they would their
own. We believe they will meet the
most sanguine anticipations of their
friends in the work before them.
The retiring board-Isaac y. Kiser, of
this city; Fred Heiby, of Recovery town
ship, and Frank DillhoH, of Marion
merits the appreciation Of the people of
the county for the work performed dur
ing their incumbency. Few people real
ize the volume of work that comes be-
fore the board each year and the con-
fiicting interests that must be straighten-
ed out and passed upon, task that de-
mands clear thinking and ripe judgment.
1t is a trying job, and the retiring Off
cials no doubt feel a sense of relief that
the end is in sight, even though they
take pride in the consciousness that
they have performed their public service
with an eye only to the public welfare,
without fear or favor.
Messrs. Kiser and Heiby are no longer
boys, but both are comfortably fixed in
this worlds goods and will probably cut
out the more strenuous and active work
that has characterized their lives. Mr..
Dillhoff is in the prime of life, with
family after Roosevelt's heart and has
some hustling yet before him. The Dem
ocrat wishes them all success and pleas
IRE in all their future undertakings and
may they live long and enjoy their we'll
earned laurels. The people of the coun-
y will not wish them less.

CURRENCY MEASURE RE
PORTED TO NATION
AL HOUSE

Washington, Sept. 1O.-The cur,
rency bill is before the house. 1t was
reported by Chairman Glass, who
presented report signed by all the
Democratic members of the house
banking and currency committee, in
which it was claimed that the funda-
mental features of the bill are: The
creation of joint mechanism for the
extension of credit to banks which
possess sound assets and which de-
sire to liquidate them to meet legiti-
mate industrial, commercial and agri-
cultural demands; the ultimate retire
ment of the present bond-secured cur
rency with the substitution therefor
Of more flexible medium of ex-
change and provision for the exteu
sion of American banking facilities
for foreign countries.
Coincident with the presentation OF
this report, report was presented on
behalf of the Republican members of
the committee, condemning three of
the leading features of the bill. The
minority members claimed that the
powers conferred by the bill upon the
federal reserve board were too great
Ind there was extreme danger that
the board would be used for corrupt
partisan purposes.
The majority report called attention
to the existing stringency and short
nge of capital fixed and floating, and
the need for legislation which will fa-
cilitate commercial loans by banks.
The inadequacy of the Aldrich-Vree-
land act, now in force, but which has
been imperative insofar as it's note
issue provision is concerned, is
summed up by Mr.. Glass in the state
ment that lit is a weak makeshift,
soon 10 expire"

Long Struggle Ends When Meas

Now Goes to Conference.

LaFoIlette and Poindexter Vote With
the Democrats, While the Two Lou
lsiana Senators Fail to Stand by the
Caucus PIedse-B,il Provides For
Free Wool, Free Heats and Free
Sugar.
Washington, Sept. 1O.-By a vote of
A to 81, the senate passed the Under
wood-Simmons tariff bill, which car
ries all the features for which the
president has contended-free meats,
free wool, free sugar and reduced du-
ties on the necessaries of life. The
measure now goes to conference be.
tween the two houses, and 10 days, it
is expected, win see final action on
this important measure, which al.
ready has dragged itself along for five
months.
The vote in the senate was big with
political possibilities. Two Republi-
cans, LaFollette of Wisconsin and
Poindexter of Washington, voted for
the Democratic bill. Only two Demo-
Gratis, Thornton and Ransdell of Lou.
isiana, failed to stand by the caucus
pledge. They voted with most of the
Republicans against the measure.
Many Republicans contended that
by this action LaFollette had removed
himself from the Republican party
and had forfeited any chance he may
have had for nomination for the presi.
dency. Nobody was certain what La.
Follette's plans are. Some Republi- |
cans believed his action meant that |
he is preparing to lead an indepen. |
dent fight of his own, while others !
were confident that he was getting |
ready to jump into the Democratic |
fold. His isolation was still further
emphasized by break between him
and Senator Cummins, one of the Re.
publican progressives.
The Democratic leaders obtained a
larger majority for the bill than they
had expected. This was due not only
to the votes of LaFollette and Poin.

NOT
BUYERS Of COAL
Or Distributors for the Township,
Which Falls to Lot Of the
Board of Education.

A blunder crept into a question pro-
pounded in these columns last week
when we asked II Township Clerk Win
ter had recently filed his coal bin from
coal purchased by the Township Trus-
tees. We stand corrected
The Trustees have nothing to do with
the purchase Of coal, which is entirely
in the hands of Township Board Of Edu-
cation.
Curious enough, many township tax
payers want to know something of this
much talked of coal deal and several
others in which they are vitally inter
ested, in which Township Clerk Winter
figures, and through The Democrats
error quite naturally went after Trus-
tees Lincoln and Smith as participants
or involved by carelessness in their
trust, We are glad to place them right
before their constituents, as we would
any person wrongfully accused, directly
or indirectly, or cast under suspicious by
misunderstood actions or motives.
Last fall the Township Board of Edu-
cation purchased a car load of coal for
the schools of the township. This year
they done the same. In both instances
the coal bin of Clerk Winter was filled
up, and as we get it, several wagons
were weighed off on the Model Milling
Co. scales and disposed of in this city.
Now, is it a fact that the Township
Board of Education, through Mr.. Win
ter, the clerk of the board, sold several
parties in this city enough coal to supply |
them through the winter, from the coal
purchased at the expense of the tax
payers of the township, and which
should have found its way into the
district school coal bins?
