about finding place to get tick

to fool themselves by sitting by
and waiting for persons to come in
and buy tickets. So you may de
pend upon it, someone will call on

and it would be fine for you to
have your mind made up 10 go by

ready.
Jasper is known throughout this
section as the town of concrete

ping point of any town of similar
size in the state and is the only
town of its size in Missouri on the
accredited list Of first grade schools.
Last year our Chautauqur was
not the big success it should have
be en-, but this Chautcuqua cannot
be classed with any heretofore seen
here either in size, quality or man
agement. 1t can be made ire
mendous success if everyone gets
behind and pushes-buys and sells
tickets and attends the sessions.
Let the "knockers" make way for
the "boosters!' We should make
this known as a ftst-class Chau.
tauqua town and be proud Of it as
such.
Mayor Hayzlett and Aldermen
Webb, Thomas, Hammond and
Crawford are all enthusiastic Chau.
tauqua boosters and the same can
be said of the ME jorlty of the busi-
ness men
The whole thing of putting on a
Chautauqua, as ever One knows, is
a public spirited work, and for that
reason everyone should DO what
they can to make the work of these
public spirited citizens as easy as
possible.

gaging in both commercial and street
lighting are Seattle, Tacoma and Fort
Wayne. The notable success in these
municipalities can be taken as an Illus
tration OF large number of other
plants throughout the country.
. At Tacoma the city purchases the
current from a water power company
at Ia cents per silowatt and retails
It at minimum rate of 6 cents, max
ing net profit of 40 per cent. The
city now has a generating plant under
construction. Many high grade steam
plants generate current at as low as
/ Ia cents. 1t is estimated that the
plant in Kansas City, Kas., generates
crrreilt at approximately this figure
and the rate established for house use
is 6 cents per kilowatt hour.
"A THREAT AND A 40 PER CENT
/ REDUCTION
4 At Seattle the report of the Super
intendent shows interesting data since
the installation of the municipal plant
in 1912. First when the agitation for
a municipal plant begun and it looked
as if it would be constructed, the pri-
vate company made a reduction Of 40
per cent in their rates, dropping them
TO 2 cents per kilowatt for house use.
When the municipal plant began maxi
ing contracts for residence lighting
in September 1905. the Seattle EIec-
trio Company again lowered its rates,
making a general decrease Of 10 2-3
per cent. In 1911 after the municipal
light and power plant reduced its rates
owing to the good financial showing
made by the plant. the Seattle Elee-
trio Company again lowered its rates,
making another reduction of 10 per
cent. due directly to the municipal
light and power plant The install
lation of the municipal light and pow
ed plant in that city has forced the
company to three reductions in their
rates since 1902. the first Of 40 per
cent, second of 10 2-3 per cent and

current and 4 cents for users of over
sixty kilowatts This makes total
reduction to the. consumers Of 65 per
cent since 1902, If the consumer takes
light Of the municipal plant The aver
age business rate charged by the nlu-
nieipal plant is cents per kilowatt,
The average power rate for factories
is 2 cents and as low as cent for
large users. The municipality has
combined steam and hydro-electric
development, but many Of the cities
with steam installation entirely have
been able to make equally low rates
and this is possible even in the smaller
installations.
"At Riverside, Cal. with popula-
ton of eighteen thousand, the niurli-
cipaiity has steam plant which has
been operated by the city for sixteen
years. A statement of their financial
showing for the year 1911 showed the
total receipts for lighting, $91, ,4Z1.oI !
receipts from power sales, $47. 1880;
total for light and power, less. $z4Z.lO

This is the result of one years oper-

the operation of $5s,oz48o.s The city
now plans extensive improvements
and the installation Of equipment OF a
higher efficiency. extending the lines
TO several suburban districts and the
laying OF conduits in the business part
of the city. all Of which will cost
$43o. 900, and this entire improvement
will be met without voting any addi-
tional bonds against the municipality,
but will be taken care Of out Of the
accumulated profits. The meter light
ling rates are seven cents for house
use and ~ cents for power use"

REJECT COMPROMISE

Chicago-The various Carpenters
unions of this city have concluded
their referendum on the employers
compromise wage scale and have re-
jected same by an almost unanimous
vote. These workers asked for
five cent increase. A compromise
offer of ~ cents, together with other
demands Of the employers, was re-
iected by the unions officials, who
said il was not necessary to submit
them 10 a refendum. A strike fol-
lowed and the employers, backed by
certain newspapers, raised hue and
cry against the officials, who then
stated If the compromise was resub-
nlitted they would present same TO the
membership.
This was done. with the result as
above stated
National Organizer Lalev Of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters is quoted
as saying that if the employers offer
chad been 81 an hour ii would have
been defeated just as unanimously"
One section objected to by the union-
lists provided that. representative of
the employers shall spend Saturday
morning in the Office Of the Carpen-
ters district council. At this time the
council tfansacts its important busi-
ness, and the workers show that under
this clause a private detective would
have to be admitted. Another clause
provided for system Of registration
In the employers Offices which would
net $4,000 a year-a tidy sum, the
workers sav to use against them in
case OF strike.

"A. R. LAWSON
WAS WRONCED
Vigorous Words on Colorado
Situation BY Barry

San Francisco Under the caption.
Real Colorado Justice" Editor lanes
Barry OF the Weekly Star discusses
the Lawson verdict in the following
vigorous manner:
This week a Colorado jury sitting
at Trinidad condemned John r. Law
son to spend the remainder Of his life
at hard labor in the Colorado peniten-
tiary. It was a great Rockefeller VIC
tory, and will brighten the halo of
glory and piety that plays about the
Rockefeller heads, Lawson is a labor
leader and was found guilty OF muir
der in the first degree in connection
with the death of John Nimmo,N a
deputy sheriff who was killed in bat
tie with the strikers in October, 1913.
Not that Lawson actually killed MINI
mo; no, but he was the leader Of the
strikers, Nimmo was killed in one Of
the Ludlow fights, being one OF the
deputies stationed at the Ludlow sec
tion house. Those deputies got into
a fight with a number of strikers, and
during the fight Nimmo was shot
through the leg and bled to death.
Lawson was charged with the killing
OF Nimfo on the theory that he was
in charge of the tent colony and in
command Of the strikers.
THE information upon which Law
son was tried was filed by the attor-
|ney general of Colorado, who con-
veniently forgot or neglected to file
other information against the state
militia for the wholesale murders at
Ludlow. and aginst the Rockefellers
and other mine owners, who were re-
sponsible for the whole business. The
authority Of the state of Colorado was
given to the mine including
the Rockefellers-and they used that
authority ruthlessly and savagely.
IF Lawson spends the remainder of
his life in prison at hard labor, is il
just that John D. Rockefeller and his
aides should be at liberty? And what
answer will the state Of Colorado
fake when II IS charged, as it will
be charged, that laboring man can
not get justice in that state? 1t is
mere mockery to ask workipgmen to
obey the law and to respect the law
and the courts, when juries owned by
| special privilege bring in such verdicts
as the one in the Lawson case.

LABOR UNIONS
WIN LONG FIGHT
Secure Favorable Laws In
State Of Pennsylvania

( Harrisburg. PA workmen's com
pensation act was passed in the clos
ing hours OF the state legislature,
again proving organized labor's claim
that constant agitation will bring sue
cess. For years the trade union
movement has demanded this legisIa-
ton, which has been resisted by the
mining, railroad and other corbora-
lions. The defeat Of these forces was
complete and the bill, together with
supplemental measures, were passed
unanimously by the senate as oppo-
nents realized the folly Of further
opposition and recorded themselves
as friends Of labor" The legisia-r
tion was quickly concurred in by the
house, where it had to be passed upon
the second time because of slight
amendments.
AS an additional notification to cor
poration lobbyists that the peoples
voice was heard, the senate approved
a conference committee report on the
Catlin bill to bring anthracite miners
under the compensation system This
bill was fought BY coal operators, who
insisted that because the state issued
certificates to mine forenen they were
relieved Of any obligation.
The workmen's compensation bills
are seven in number One is the gem
eral measures covering the subject of
worSmen's compensation, one pro-
vides for its administration. one cre-
ates state insurance fund. two relate
to liability and mutual Insurance, one.
exempts domestic servants and agri-
cultural workers and the seventh is
the constitutional amendment permit
ting compulsory compensation law,
as the present proposed law is cleo
tive. The main bill provides that the
act shall apply to all accidents occur
ring within the state, irrespective of
the place where the contract of hiring
was made.
Compensation for total disability
shall not exceed $4,000, to be paid
during the first 500 weeks after the
fourteenth day at rate OF not more
than $50 a week nor less than S. a
week.
| Partial disability payments shall be
on the basis of SO per cent. to run not
longer than 800 weeks. Payments shall
not exceed $40 a week Compensation

dren not residents of the United States
