BY HERBERT QUICK.

1.-THE mortgage on the Old
Zarm'' has been the basis of a
good deal of literature written
by city people for city consump-
tiOn, about farm life.
"Over the Hills to the Poor
house" is the sequel to the mort
gage foreclosure.
AS a matter of fact, there isn't
much to this. The evrctions after
. foreclosure don't give any meas
ure of the farm-mortgage evil.
This evil lies In the huge an
necessary burden of interest which
the farmers carry.
A farm mortgage on proper
terms, and on the right sort of
farm. may be blessing. But
the American farmer grunts and
sweats under mortgage charges
enormously greater than those of
his European brother.
The European mortgage bears
an average of about four per
cent interest, the American mort
gage nearly eight. Where the
value of land is high, and it's
: quality uniform, so that lenders
feel safe, the rate is much less.
But In Europe, there are asso-
Citations which make loans to
their members, ana send them up
to associations of associations for
. sale. The farmer is liable on the
loan, the association is liable, and
the association of associations
also.

quently get cheaper money than
can the German government.
Several bills have been intro
duced in congress for some such
advancement in the United States.
The administration is pledged to
Il. The bill now in the lime
light has been introduced by Sem
ator Hollis in the senate and Rep
resentative Buckley in the house.
The Hollis-Bulkley bin is II. r.
1647S in the house, and S. 55t2
In the senate. l wish every IN
feIligent person would study this
hin. For no matter what the in
tentions of it's authors may be,
a bill which operates on all the
farm loan capital of the United
States is a national peril IL ft is
a bad bill. On the otner hand,
n Il is a good bill. no one can
estimate the good IL will do in
country and city. The Hollis
BnIkIey bin should be put under
the microscope

local business college TO COPY
Signatures from the city registra-

from Secretary of State 4. n.

commission OF his action, he was
called On the carpet in council

Mayor Atkins.

a matter that had to be rushed
through, and I took the liberty to
hire the girls from a business
college at 80 cents per hour in
stead of going through the red
tape 9f bringing the matter up
before the council. It's an emer-
geucyt matter, and could not be
delayed.
But l was censured by the
evil service board and sued be-
cause l hired a man in my de-
partment in the same manner, .
said Atkins. There isn't any
money to pay these girls"
City Controller Meads came to
the front and declared that the
pay for the girls could come from
the general emergency fund, and
the matter was dropped.
Commissioner Atkins had in
tended 70 show that the civil ser
vice board had permitted the city
clerk 70 hire emergency stenog-

MAN HURT, IS
HELD IN AIR
BY CRANE

William Pickering, a workm
employed on the new Union Pa
cific drawbridge across the city
waterway, had the painful ex-
perience this afternoon of being
held suspended for more than 10
minutes by an electric crane 80
feet above the surface of the
channel. Pickering had fallen
from the dock to a scow and was
severely bruised. There was 10
wa yto remove him from the
seow, except by means of the
crane. When the crane had lifted
the injured man 80 feet the ma
chinery stopped, and he hung In
mfd-air until the machine could
be started again.
Pickering was hurried to the
county hospital. where Il was
found that his injuries were not
of a serious nature. He lives at
40os Thompson ayenus.

FOR RACES

Terrible Teddy" Tetzlaff, win
ner of all honors on the Tacoma
speedway in 1912, and the idol
of Tacoma auto race fans, arriv-
ed from Shasta Springs at 4
O'Clock this morning and was ON
the streets today resuming his
acquaintance among Tacoma race
enthusiasts. He will drive a
powerful Maxwell next week, aud
plans to try out the new course
tomorrow morning in the big car.
Tetzlaff retains the title of
worlds greatest road driver, hav-
ing made the record of 1881 at
Santa Monica in a Fiat. He was
forced out of the big Montamara-
thon race in Tacoma last year be-
cause of a broken engine, but de-
clared today that he would make
even a better record In his Max
we'll than he has ever made be-
fore in Tacoma with the mem
orable Fiat racers.

shot through the head and cannot
live. Bruno was proceeding up
stairs to the miners hall to at
tend the meeting when a bullet
struck him. The deputies appar-
emily fired on any one in sight
who approached the hall.
:. The third wounded man is
Charles Kramer of Los Angeles,
a spectator. The bullet grazed
his stomach. He is not seriously
hurt.

nearby buildings into the hall.
The deputies, 1t is said, feared
that the mob would wreak ven
geance on President Meyer and
Bert Riley. head of the federation
local, who are in the miners
union hall.
At the first sign of firing,
Meyer, Riley and all the other
officials took to flight from a
rear door from the miners union
hall, according to officers. The
union officials have left the city,
according to an unconfirmed re-
port, which says that an automo-
bile was in readiness at a rear
door, in which the officials were
whisked away.
Governor Stewart expected to
ask for federal troops to keep
order as the result of last nights
riots. The situation is outward
ly quiet today but the feeling is
tense. Rumors are current that
further dynamiting is contemplat-
ed. The governor has ordered
the militia to be held in readiness
in case anything should happen.

S ONE Cloud burst

A miniature cloud-burst struck
Tacoma at 1870 O'Clock this after
noon, nearly one inch of rain fall
ing in 10 minutes. Downtown
streets were impossible for half
hour because or the fTooded gut
ters and storm sewers. Drain
pipes from tall buildings were un-
able to stand the pressure, aud
streams of water shot out into the
streets in many places from the
broken pipes. Water spouted
from the overburdened storm sew
ers in several places, and the gut
tiers on Pacific avenue were filled
so completely that water flowed
over the sidewalks.

keeping the crowds back from
the miners union hall. Three
charges of dynamite were explod-
ed in and under the hall, the front
of which was blown out.
The crowds had pressed on the
miners union hall in consequence
of scheduled meeting there, at
which President Meyer, of the
Western Federation OF Miners,
was to outline a peace plan.
Most of the shots we're fired
into the air by the officers. The
shooting of the three men appar-
emily took most of the nerve out
of the crowd and they quickly
backed a distance of two blocks
from each side of the hall.
A hundred deputies with saw
ed-off shotguns we're holding the
hall.
Sheriff Driscoll, shortly after
the firing began and after the
crowd was forced down the
street, appeared at the entrance
of the hall and shouted that he
wanted 500 deputies. No response
was made to the sheriff's appeal.
