WRITE YOUR KICK

The City Of Tacoma is in imminent peril
Of being sandbagged by the Legislature now
in session at Olympia. A bill drafted for
the benefit of the benevolent Boston mil
lionaires who own the Stone 3 Webster cor
poration has passed the senate. It Ii now
pending In the house. It Is known as Sem
ate Bill 800.
And 1t Is deliberately plotted attempt
to lift millions out Of the pockets Of the tax
payers.
Senate Bill 800 turns the hands of the clock
back 20 years. 1t takes away from Tacoma, and
other cities in the state, the power of regulating
their own franchise affairs. Senate Bill 800
would make every existing and future public
utility franchise perpetual It would give over
pany desired them, as gift
And 1T even would prevent the city from in
slsting upon requirements such as compelling
the company to pay its share Of paving ETC. 1T
would strip the city of all regulatory authority.
1t would interfere with competition and encour-
age monopoly.
1t would require cities, as well as private COM
panies, to obtain from the public service COM
mission, in which 0verworked body all power is
vested certificate of necessity before they
could be permitted to embark in any new public
utility enterprise. And the commission, by the
terms of the bill, is prevented from granting
such certificate as long as the existing public
utility is giving reasonable service.
A referendum clause is attached to the bill.
Ii it is concurred in by the house, the people will
have crack at it, The Times believes, however,
that referendum upon such barefaced steal
would entail useless expense.
THE BILL SHOULD BE KILLED AT
OLYMPIA. CITY OFFICIALS FROM ALL
OVER THE STATE HAVE PROTESTED
AGAINST 1T BEFORE LEGISLATIVE CON

Approval of the policy of the Com

their attitude on. the fiscal system exist

governments was given in a resolution
adopted by the Chevy Chase Citizens
Association last night.
Members of the association states the
Commissioners, who are known to be
collecting data on the present fiscal
system, have been criticised in some
quarters for not making known their
intentions as to what recommendations
they will make, IL any, for change
in the relations between the District
and Federal governments. To offset
this alleged criticism the association
went on record favoring the attitude
Of the District heads.
The meeting was held at the Chevy
Chase Public School. 1t was the first
gathering of a civic body in a public
school since the enactment of the law
permitting the use of the public schools

A|DOF CIVIC BODIES
Every Citizen Should Assist in

Case for Committee Probe.

The District of Columbia will have no
difficulty in establishing the merits CT
the half-and-half plan before the joint
Congressional committee that Is to In
vestig8te the fiscal relations between
the National Capital and the Federal
Government, but the facts to be dealt
with are SO numerous, the work so I'M
portant and the time so short that the
aid Of every civic organization and
every citizen should be enlisted in the
preparation of the case.
This WAS the fact which Henry b. i.
Macfarland. in a letter to p. T. Moran,
pI esident of tho Chamber Of Commerce.
which was read last night at meeting
Of the board of directors of the organ
ization, endeavorcd to impress upon the
members.
MIR. Macfarland asserted that he be-
lieved that the presentation OF the facts
being prepared before the impartial
committee that has been selected Will
result in terminating forever the agl-
tation over the fiscal relations between
the Federal Government and its capi'
tai which has proven SO harmful IN
The committee. the writer said. will
have only one question to decide. name

PLANTING THE TREE

When the tree has been placed In
the hole at the proper depth and the
roots spread out carefully, the soil
should be carefully packed about them.
The entire space about the crown
should be closely filed with soil and
the careful planter will use his hands
in doing this work. After the roots
have been properly cared for, the
shovel is used to I'LL in the rest of
the hole. 1t is always well to pour a
bucket Of water into the hole before
1t has been entirely filled, 80 that the
tree may have plenty Of moisture and
also that the soil may be better pack,
ed about the roots. After watering,
the hole should be filed in completely.

charcoal, millet or rape seed may be
added. A commercial chick food may
be substituted IL desired. The above
ration can be fed until the chicks are
two weeks old, when they should be

After the chicks are ten days old
a good growing mash, composed of

may be placed in a hopper and left

may be fed either wet or dry; If wet,
only enough moisture (either milk or
water) should be added to make the
feed crumbly, but in no sense sloppy.
When this growing mash or mixture
is not used a hopper containing bran
should be accessible to the chickens
at all times.
