advantage of half a cent a pound
over the importers of Zante currants
and raisins.
1t seems that the house tariff bill
fixed a duty Of two cents a pound on
zante currants and raisins. The sen
ate cut this to one cent, and the con
troyersy went to conference. This is
where the Nevada Greeks were heard.
from Some one told Senator Pitt
man that there was a big Greek vote
in Nevada. The same sort of story
was carried to Senator Salisbury of
New Jersey OF course both Of these
gentlemen. being patriots and states
men, were at once determined to pre-
serve the right of their Greek con
stituents to eat raisins from their own
country. So Senators Pittman and
Salisbury labored tirelessly with the
tariff conferees to keep down the
tariff on the precious Zante raisins.
So after compromise of cent
and half pound had been reached
Representatives Church Of Fresno
and Raker of Modoc started an in
yestigation. They found from the
records of the department of labor,
it is reported, that since 1906, and
until the present time, there have
been but four Greek voters in the
entire state of Nevada. When Mr.
Pittman was comforted with this data
from the records he instantly wayered
in his loyalty to Greece and her
expatriates and proceeded at once to
write a letter to President Wilson
Withdrawing his opposition to the
Zante raisin duty. But it was too
late. as even President Wilson did
not care to instruct the conferees to
alter their report
In this simple way has it come
about that while Senator Pittmar
would not consent for a moment tc
any amendment Of the tariff bill
which would afford partial protection
to the beet-sugar and wool industries
of this state he was unwittingly con
nived so that four Nevada Greeks
have cost the government $4,000 q
year each.-Reno Gazette.

PITTMAN'S GREEK FRIENDS COST
TIE COUNTRY $4,000 EACH

Adyices from Washington convince
us that in our previous estimates of
Senator Pittmans craftsmanship and
patriotism We may have erred. We
are free to admit that our estimate
has been low We failed to recon-
mend him to the people of Nevada
while he was making his campaign
for senatorial honors, and we have
failed until now to find in his record
in congress aught TO change our ear
lier calculations.
During the long-drawn-out discus
sion of the administration tariff bill
Senator Pittman on two distinct occa-
sions declared his lack of considera-
tion for the people comprising one of
the large foreign elements in Ne
vada's population. This attitude as
sumed so fearlessly by the senator
has been accepted by the foreign
born voters OF all nationalities as APP
plying more or less generally to them.
But a reservation must be made, ii
seems. The senator is distinctly par.
tial to the Greeks. Or at least he
was And now the story comes from
Washington to the effect that the
four Greek votes in Nevada have cost
the government 100000 a year in
revenues. BY the same token, Cali
fornia raisin growers have gained an

Umlauf Ordinance Before Coun-
Gil Provides for Careful Dis
posal of Refuse.

From the standpoint OF the Society
for the Betterment Of Housing and
Living Conditions in Richmond. tho
most important measure that Will come
up for consideration at the meeting Of
the Common Council tonight will be
the Umlauf ordinance providing more
stringent regulations for the sorting
and disposal Of garbage. The measure
already has the unanimous approval
of the Council Committee on Ordi-
nances.
recent survey conducted by the
society disclosed the laxity with which
the important matter of disposing of
refuse is treated by Richmond house
holders. II was found, for example
that of i57 households visited and for
which returns We're made concerning
garbage receptacles. 40 had no recep-
tacles for refuse. OF these twenty
seven gave IS the reason for not hay-
ing them that they burn the garbage.
Thirty-four declared that they fed il
10 their chickens ants other animals.
Thirty-one threw the refuse in their
own yards. on nciehboring dumps and
on nearby vacant lots.
The method of disposal as recorded
by the survey indicates in n measure
the reason for refuse Uttered streets
IN many sections of the city. The prac-
ticcs noted In the foregoing, IL is be-
iicVcd' are common among the 10000
other householders of the city
The umlauf ordinance requires eyery
householder to install n properly ap-
proved receptacle to take care of all
refuse and garbage and provides pen
hltlcs Tor throwing refuse and papcr
INTO the streets. 1t has the approval
OIL the street Cleaning Department.

To tho Editor OF The Times Dispatch:

an article to which l ask the privilege
of replying.
Let me correct this statement which
is attributed to me. Mr. Bonifant

were recently voted out" | don't know
whero your reporter got his msinfor-
nation, but ho certainly did not get ii
from me. OF course. those saloons can
not be restored except by vote Of the
people. and that not for two years.
Then YOU say: "It is further charged
that Mr.. Bonifant is not only a liquor
man himself but that his campaign
manager Augustine Royal. of Forest
Hill. was chairman OF the wet forces
III the recent election"
After talking to me. your reporter
evidently called Mr.. Royal. for he
quotes him rs saying. These charges
are entirely false. II is true that I
signed 4 petition not to abolish the
Swansboro saloons but was never
chairman OF any committees MIR.

lar espouSing the cause Of the saloons.
II was an attempt TO answer the ;trgu-
ment of tho 'drys." This circular was
freely circulated. and as far as | have
been able to ascertain. was the only
campaign document in behalf Of the
vets. 1t was regarded, and of
necessity must be regarded. as an Of
fetal utterancc for the vets" Ger
tainly have never heard OF its being

tainly Identifies him pretty closely
with the wet campaign, and he is the
only man that has appeared on that
side signing himself AS chairman"
Let us look at Mr. Bonlfaurs position
on temperance. II Mr.. Bonifant is
dry" then he has been grossly mis-
represented and terribly misunder-
stood Has he ever said he was dry" ?
Articles, signed and otherwise. have
appeared IN the papers saying that Mr..
Bonifant was opposed TO tho enabling
act 1t is generally understood that
the liquor forces are behind him Ger
tainly the temperance people are not
looking to him as ono of their men.
Even Mr.. Royal says that Mr.. Bonifant
stands for local option. Well. that is
where all liquor men are standing in
Virginia to-day, and cannot he taken
as indicating that man Is dry"
Local option really means to make pos
sible a return 10 the conditions that ex
listed prior To the passage OF the Mann
law 50 i: that is the kind OF local
option Mr. Honifant stands for he must

MOORE FAVORS
LOCAL ASSESSMENT.
Saws Board at Richmond Could
Not Fix Values in Vari-
Gus Counties.

Auditor Lee Moore has sent to Tha
Times Dispatch the following state
ment. giving his views on a local tax
board rather than State Board Of
Equalization. He says:
In my opinion. a board OF equaliza :
tion at the seat Of government could
not fairly and justly fix the values OF
real estate and tangible personal prop
crty throughout the State, Such q
board must be dependent in n great
degree on the judgment OF others for
fixing these values. Values OF live
stock vary In the different sections OF
the state. The same is true of real
estate. Adjoining farms vary mate
rally in value.
For many reasons the power to as
scss is TOO far removed from the prop
erty and from the people interested and
vitality concerned. and II appears tho
plan is inpracticable and impossible OF
satisfactory and just operation.
Let every county and city be de-
pendent for its revenue upon the as
sessmcnt of property within its boun-
daries. and I venture TO predict tho
result will be assessments nearer true
and uniform value than ever before
and values assessed in county or
city would not affect the values as
sessed in another county or city"
