Among Serbians

Correspondence OF the Associated Press)
LONDON. Aug. GA. s. Ward OF Bos-
ton. secretary OF the American sanitary
commission Ia Serbia. has returned from
that country with the news that the
work OF the American doctors and sani-
tary experts Is proving successful beyond
all expectations.
Mr.. Ward said. THE work of the
American doctors ana sanitary engineers
in Serbia Il directed towards prevention
rather than cure OF the various epldemIcs.
and they are rapidly cleaning up the
towns In order TO prevent a further out
break. The old cisterns are being gradu-
ally destroyed and arteaian wells substi-
tuted.

with petroleum. which kills the vern,in.
When the bathers' clothes are removed
they are placed IN the sterilizing car TO be
thoroughly steamed and dried. As many
as a 1000 men and their clothing are
cleaned In one day BY tho sanitary train.
In some places men are found to DO sur

ONE HOUSE FOR LEGISLATURE

A n AMENDMENT TO our state constitution to
Il provide a single house instead of two houses
in the legislature is proposed by former RepreScn-
tatye Frank Pierce of kitSap county
Pierce'S. plan deserves the greatest considera
ton II involves a fundamental change in our state
government which is capable of saving to the peo
pie countless thousands and millions of dollars in
the long run as well as improving the working ma
chinery of lawmakers.
1t is the main idea of Representative Pierce,
the single house. that we refer TO- rather than to
the details OF his plan Whether this house should
meet once in every four years for $50 days, or
once every two years for 100 days or at some
other stated times, is not so important
1t is important, however to know that 1 IS
members Of the legislature, meeting once every two
years for 90 days, are too many legislators to do
ANY work efficiently in so short period and the
fact that two houses are in session only encumbers
the work more.

plicated basis and YOU do away with 4 lot OF vote

Think before you chorte, brethren
Muny ownership wasn't defeated in Detroit.
All Detroit did was to turn down one particular
plan Of purchasing its street car lines, which means
that another plan will be submitted
And the other plan will no doubt be a whole
lot more favorable to the city and the people than
was the plan the voters rebuffed For the pro-
posal that failed was fought by the more radical
municipal ownership advocates in the same way
as Seattle fought against purchasing the Seattle,
Renton & Southern for an exorbitant price. Sc
attic did not turn down municipal ownership when
it killed the s. r. & s. purchase and neither has

BUSINESS IS GOOD
Inspection TotaIIcd Nearly $25,-
900 in November.

Revenue from the state oil and grain
inspection departments for Novem Der
totalled nearly $4,000, according to
reports filed today with w. E. Davis,
state auditor. There was just one bad
feature in the showing. The oil COM
panies paid 2,4C6.5O of their fees
under protest and the state cannot use
the money until suits pending in the
supreme court are settled.
The report from the state oil inspec-
ton department shows fees for the
month in the amount of S12. 5000. 1t
is one of the largest winter month
reports ever filed by the department.
The statement showed inspection of
55, 400 barrels of oil and 0,10O barrels
of gasoline during the month. Ex-
penses of the department totaled
S1,0S5.33.
From the grain inspection depart
ment fees amounting to $12, APO so
were received. The report shows in
spection of 2,2S5 cars of incoming
and 1878 cars of outgoing grain A
total of 6,S46 cars of grain were weigh
ed by the state department.

HE STARTS A SUIT
w. z. Montgomery, Assistant
Atty General, Brings Action
To Recover luxurious Interest
From Money Lender.
BEGINNING OF A CAMPAIGN
To Clean Up on the ChatteI
Mortgage Business.
Woman Pledges Her Watch to
Obtain Church Money.

The Topeka loan shark crusade
found its way into the courts this aft
ernoon when w. p. Montgomery, as
sistant attorney general, filed suit
against w E. Seguine, Alb Kansas
avenue, to recover S17.S2 collected in
Illegal interest rates from G. F.
Graves, a day laborer. Graves gave a
mortgage on n sewing machine and
stove to cover $12 loan and. accord
ing to his petition, has paid 5000 on
the account.
Since Montgomery announced that
he would start war on the Topeka
loan leeches. he has received many
calls from men and women who have
been victims of the ten-per-cent-a-
month merchants. AS a result of his
evidence. it is probable that a number
of suits will be filed in the next few
days and that an effort will be made
to secure a general cleanup among
Kansas avenue money lenders.
In the suit which Montgomery
filed today. he asserts that the victim
is a day laborer, is unaccustomed to
business methods, is uneducated and
unskilled in arithmetic and the proc
ess of computing interest and was
thus an easy victim of the loan mer
chant Receipts and evidences of
payments produced by Graves shows
that he has paid 5000 in the settle
ment OF the claim. Seguine, accord
ing to a statement by Graves. recently
told his victim that after allowing the
sac 40 credits. there was yet a balance
of $3.50 in settlement of the $12
loan.
Graves lives at 143S Chandler street
He asserts that in securing the $12
loan. he gave ScEuine Il mortgage on
sewing machine and an Oak stove. In
the petition filed by montgomery. re-
covery of $17.S2 from the money
lender is asked.
Another victim vino appeared before
Montgomery today was an East side
woman. She had mOrtgaged her
watch that she might secure 81 with
which to help pay a church debt She
paid ten per cent month on the
loan.
After l got the 81. my husband was
without employment for several
months" the woman told Montgom-
cry. We needed more money. Fin
ally we borrowed up to $25 on the
watch and some other property. We
are still making payments"
Evidence produced by the woman
showed that the man and his wife had
paid SCI the s25 account and were
in debt-accOrding to the loan agents
account-nearly $50. Suit to recover
the excess interest in this case will
probably be filed this week.
