Instruction to proceed with the col.
lection of license tax equivalent TO 3
per cent of the earnings of the West
ern Street Car Advertising company,
despite the threat of the company to
test the tax in the courts, was given
the city license assessor by the city
commission yesterday. The company
had asked Tor flat rate tax of $500 a
year, the same as is imposed on bill
board advertising companies,
Such rate was imposed i'll previous
years under an informal agreement be-
tween the company and the city coun-
ell, but the commission decided to en-
force the ordinance so long as il is on
the books.
An opinion from the city attorney
that it would not be wise to change
the present restaurant lice ordi-
nance, as suggested by the license as
SCISSOR, was referred to the committee
of the whole. The opinion of the at-
torney that So annual tax should be
collected on all electric clocks was re

cleanup campaign. Inspectors G.
Frank Emery and Frank Jordan are
visiting az the small communities of

hold cleanup days and, according to re-
ports received by DR.. Beatty, these
events have so far been very successful
and much good has been accomplished.
DR.. Beatty says that while the swat

for the beuefit OF Kearns-St. AIMS Or

Of the thea ter unpacked. From the top
gallery 10 the parquet every seat was
taken and many persons were glad to
stand and look on.
More than $50 children took part In
the performance Their shrill little
treble voices and their chubby little legs
warmed the hearts OF the grown-ups TO
much laughter and, mayhap, some few
tears. 1t was a moving and inspiring
spectacle when the tots trooped onto the
stage and lifted their fairy-like voices
In songs as old as the old sod Itself

ca pable hand the concert was given, as
much praise as can be spoken is due.

Order by Telephone.

La discussing hls plan yesterday MI
Taylor said:
II is "A fact. generally recognized,
| think, that much of the high cost
of living is caused by a poor sys-
TEN of buying In the old days the
housewife used to go to marke1
with basket, buy what she wanted
and carry it home herself. NOW sne
orders by telephone bunch OF
onions from the store, has them
delivered to the house, aud when
they arrive thcv cost cents
bunch. whereas they ought only. to
cost a third or fourth of that
amount.
This custom cannot be changed,
although / suppose many persons
will visit the municipal market IN
person to make cheap purchases.
What we propose to organize a
consumers league for is to enable
women TO buy by telephone, from
the market, have the goods de
livered and pay only about per
cent more than the actual cost, in
stead OF % per cent or more: As
would be the case were the produce
handled first by middleman or
two and then by a grocery store.
To do this, the league could
have a purchasing agent. The only
enuiument he would require would
be an office and telephone. De
livery could be made by the pack
age delivery plan. If this plan
was worked out right there would
be only small cost added to each
member and long step toward re-
dueing the cost of living without
eliminating any of the advantages
of the former system would have
been taken. The principal thing
this will depend on is the use of
cash. but if things cost less people
will have more ready cash to
spend.
