Americans Arrested.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-American
claims which are to form the subject
OF consultation between Sir Edward
Morris. the Newfoundland premier,
and officials OF the Washington gov
ernment generally relate to the al
legged Illegal arrest by the Newfound-
land authorities OF American fishing
smacks charged with infraction OF the
island law touching the taking OF bait
within restricted areas and the en-
ployment OF islanders on the fisheries
The Canadian claims are believed
to he based upon denial OF the right
OF free entry of Canadian fish into
American ports and other questions
connected Herewith.
1t is understood also that the pre-
mier will endeavor to effect some ar
rangement for the admission into the
United States OF canned and pre-
served fish, which would result in a
great enlargement OF the existing
Newfoundland canning trade.

unanimous decision yesterday morn
ing. 1t Is virtually the same ordi-
nance as contemplated at previous
meetings, with the exception or
change in the amount Of license fee
and alteration Of route In one minor
instance.
The license fee is $5 per annum for
each seat In every jitney. The drivers
seat Is not covered by the tax, SO
what Is commonly known as the fiVe-
passenger car will be taxed $50 per
annum. The jitneys may map out
routes in any portion Of the city, pro-
Ndlng they do not traverse any street
upon which there is a street car
track. This excerpts Main north OF
Sixth, and Third between Nogales and
Elwood. The exception was made
so as to give the automobiles access
to the Third street yiaduct,
During the meeting yesterday the

crowded condition OF the corner OF

PLAY BALL.!

Friends of the two great schools of
the state which are threatening to be-
come involved in a fight over appro-
priations should endeavor to quiet the
belligerents. Neither of the schools can
afford to renew hostilities in an open
fashion and bring about division and
enmity in the educational circles of the
state.
1t was hopefully expected that the
creation of an educational board would
end unseemly struggles for appropria-
tons before the legislature. eliminate
open lobbying. and leave the schools
busy with the business Of training
training youth educationally and in
football formations.
Where is that official umpire, the
education board? Why not decision
and return to their places OF the
jangling teams and renewal of the
game? Play ball.

"rmE SIOUX CITY PLAN"

Sioux City has planned system Of
street and road improvement that If
carried out will not only put that city
in direct communication over good
roads with its surrounding country but
distinguish it as a progressive town
from end to end Of the country. The
plan is outlined thus by the Journal:
Good hard roads are to be built under
the plan just authorized by the. legisla-
ture at the request of Sioux City, and
which may be rightfully described as
the Sioux City plan." They will con-
meet the city paving district with the
city limits, and it is planned to in
clude all the main highways in the
system The concrete paving is to be
restricted to sixteen feet or less in the
center Of the highway, as in the case
of practically all permanent rural road
construction. In the main the i'm
proved roads viii traverse districts
comprising moderate priced suburban
lots and small acreage tracts. Half the
cost LIS to be betrayed by the city as
whole, and the other half distributed
among the benefited property owners,
assessments not being confined to
abutting property owners.
The Journal finds taxpayers "ap-
parently generally delighted at the OPP
portunity" to improve access to Sioux
City markets. The process shows upon
estimates made that 1t Is far less
burdensome than is realized by most
people who have not thoroughly in
vestigated the subject. The journal
asserts that II the automobile tax now
collected were applied to building per-
manent roads "a little cooperation be-
! tween the county and property own

KANSAS "coMEs BACK"

Governor Capper OF kansas has con-
sidered it necessary to reply to and
expose some statements made by
literature circulated by the wholesale
liquor dealers association. body that
devotes much time and expense to re-
asserting the untruths of conditions in
saloons and communities where the
saloon is barred. The liquor dealers
literature is the same old stuff that
men used 10 indulge in twenty-fv
years ago before they knew better,
rumor and misleading report as to the
saloonless state and town. Some OF it
rumor and most of it is plain untruth.
Kansas as a prohibition state is a
thorn in the side of the booze distribu-
tors. So Kansas bore the attack this
time. In his extended reply the gov
ernor riddles the alleged statistics
which the liquor dealers proffer into
a mass of twisted and lying figures.
Then he quotes some witnesses.
Seven hundred editors and newspa-
per men OF Kansas at their state con-
vention indorse the prohibitory laws of
the state.
Every political party in the state in
dorses prohibition.
The president Of the aKnsas retail
ers says that prohibition pays the re-
taller and the business interests.
OF 172 bankers but six were opposed
to prohibition. The other 1ss in
dorsed it.
The president of the Kansas COM
mercial clubs says it has added value
to every acre of Kansas.
The supreme court is on record to
the effect that the prohibitory law is as
well enforced as any other criminal
law; that it distinctly promotes social
welfare, reduces economic waste to a
minimum, and is for the benefit Of
politics.
The senate Of Kansas passed reso-
luton referring to the charges pre-
ferred against the prohibitory law by
the liquor interests which asserts by
the unanimous vote Of the body that:
The reverse of these statements is
true; that the state Of Kansas is
cleaner, better more advanced in men
tai culture, and stronger in moral fiber
and conviction; that her homes are
happier and more comfortable, her
children better educated than ever be-
fore in her history; that crime is less
prevalent and poverty less general;
and that all this is due largely to the
fact that the saloon Is such an outlaw
that none Of her school children have
ever seen a saloon, and are unac-
auainted with the appearance OF q
saloonkeeper.''
Governor capper went to more
trouble than necessary. Those who
pay any attention to assertions made
by liquor dealers associations are few
and those who quote them know gen
orally that the assertions are untrue.
Still it was worth while If merely t
bring the reputable witnesses before
the public of other states and give the
people Of those states opportunity t.
make the comparison

srs would make the financial problem

err would make the financial problem
ridiculously easy"
One criticism common among the
farmers who drag roads is that "the
worst roads begin at the city limits go
ing into town" There ia truth in it
also. Somehow the average city fails
or refuses to keep the principal high
ways thru its outskirts in decent shape
at the cost of labor or permanent i'm
provement.
1t is hard to see Just why the owner
should be considered immune from the
cost of street and highway improve
ment. He sits tight with his property,
opposes improvements that cost money
and waits for an unearned increment
to pay him big profit that he never
earned. He assumes an exemption he
doesn't deserve. He fights sidewalks,
refuses to keep them clean after actual
necessity backed by the clamor OF

and dandelions. raises often fine crop
of weeds on the lots and makes an eye

to look like the dwelling place Of
humanity. And in time when progress
has gone around and climbed over him
a decade or so he sells the lots or the
acreage at a huge profit on values
created by others against his opposi-
ton.
Why shouldn't the town ask the va
cant lots, the suburban resident and
the acreage tracts to pay part of the
cost Of connecting up the main high
ways? The average resident upon out
lying lots is entirely willing to pave
in this day OF cheap and permanent
pavement. Why should the Spectator
be given such extreme consideration by
legislatures and city councils?
