LIFE IN PARIS TODAY.

There are d few touches of life in Paris now. In the Rue du Quatre Septembre is. near the Opera. a very clever workman with pipes. He has several men working with him, and 10 see them turn on the lathe IS a pretty sight. for they finish off meer- schaum pipes and brierrool and all sorts of stems in the front window There k always d group of lockers on from one end of the year to the other. The men are gone-gone to the war. and the patient wife of the owner of the shop Is there with two brlght-eyed boys. teaching them to spell and read. She has four chil- dren, and she cares for them and keeps the shop to the hest of her abl- itv, In speaking of this 10 French woman she replied; An. she has the chance of tiny boys are at the front and may never come back again--or if they do may be muti- lated for life or weakened bv some deathly disease"

Jeff Deane, of Webb City, was taken to Paris yesterday to have his leg amputated. Mir, Deane was injured over ten years ago in a baseball game when he was hit with a ball. We hope the operation will im- prove his condition.
 Mrs. o. E. Jennings. wife of the new Fair Store manager, and mother, Mrs. M. B. Lynn, and sister, Miss Emma Lynn. came up this afternoon from Conway. They are stopping at Bristow's and will soon occupy the Claude Talley cottage on Market Street.
 Thurman Arlington gave a high noon dinner last Sunday at his home on Second Street Those present were: Misses Clyde Jeffers, Ada Lowery, Mabel Gibson. Cumi Felker Liz zie Margaret Hans5erry, Messrs Jim Anderson, Claude Arlington, Harley Cannon. Jesse Jacobs.
 John Werschky, of Webb City now has his new thrashing ma chine up and running. The first job they tackled was for Joe Barses. north of town, about 150 bushels of peanuts. After thrash ing about 15 bushels it was de- cided that the pulley on the thrasher was too small for first class work on peanuts, and a larger one was ordered which arrived today.
 Mack Miller has completed a concrete dipping vat on his farm east of town and dipped his cat tie today. H. F. Cassell is sec ing the jobs well done. As no money is available to put into effect the tick eradication law passed by the last legislature. The dipping of cattle will not become compulsory till next year, but these stock growers believe it will save them money to dip their cattle and put in their vats voluntarily.
 The tenant farmer can never get ahead by eating food bought at the store at credit prices and complaining of the landlord sys- tenn. He can get ahead by put ting in his spare time raising a garden. chickens, pigs and a COW, together with sweet pota- toes, irish potatoes, sorghum. peas, pumpkins, peanuts. pop corn and turnips for winter use. And these can be raised without neglecting his precious cotton patch, if he has the determinar ton to better his condition. EX.

TAXPAYERS LEAGUE AND
THE MINERS

The Taxpayers League are greatly
interested in the future welfare in the
mining interests OF the Sultan Basin.
The people would like TO know why
these honorable gentlemen are so in-
terested in the welfare of the mining
interests in this county at the present
tme2 It is well known fact tha,
the money interests Of Everett have
never given any financial assistance to
the mining interests of this county
But let us discuss the matters that the
league are so seriously considering
First the pollution Of the water The
state of Washington has a statute that
is about as broad as any statute of
any state in the United States that
prevents the pollution of waters that
are used for domestic purposes and
imposes a severe penalty on anyone
who will so pollute water We have
had an interesting case in our own
county within the last year on this
very question, the Monroe Water Com
pany had one of the members of the
Taxpayers League as their attorney
enjoined the town of Sultan and other
towns about Monroe from connecting
the towns with the sewer pipes. We
haven't heard anything about vested
rights in this case and probably will
not, and it cannot be said Of the mem
bers of the Taxpayers League that
they are ignorant and are not aware
of the law and its operations, and it is
a well known fact that very few Of the

(Question Discussed by Attorney r. J.
Faussett)
There never was in the history of
the city of Everett and there will not
likely ever be again an opportunity
when the city can for the taking re-
ceive such fortune and blessing for
all times as it now can by accepting
from the United States, gratis, free of
taxation, an area of rs square miles
of the choicest watershed furnishing
an abundance of pure mountain water
sufficient to supply a city of 175,000
population and at the same time re-
ceive an undeveloped $4,000 horse
be worth many millions to the city.
This great undeveloped water power
is the real niger in the wood pile and
the one that the so-called taxpayers
lead, and the Stone & Webster inter
ests are trying to keep hidden Are
not the Stone & Webster interests at
this very moment doing everything it
can to defeat Everett in securing this
great power and water supply? Has
it not in the past? Is not now every
effort being made to get an extension
of time that has already expired? The
Stone & Webster interests are capi-
talized now at only 62000,000 dollars
and rest assured that the local repre-
sentatives will get all the assistance
that this great corporation can give.
Stone & Webster interests know bet
ter than we do what this great power
means in the near future when all
railroads, and all means of transporta-
tion that can, and all industries will
be run by electric power. The Mil
waukle has already electrified or is
electrifying 400 miles of its road The
time is near at hand when all homes
will be lighted and heated by electric
ity. If the power is once developed
the cost is almost nothing. What will
it mean to this city if it can have an
abundance of cheap power to offer to
any and all who wish it? What effect
will 1t have in building up industries
here? How will it effect the mass OF
laboring people whose welfare is para
mount? But some one will say, "Oh
but the city cannot go into the bust

THE TAXES SCARECROW

In this matter of taxation will YOU
look into it just little? The charge
for Groom house in Everett for
water is $190 per month, while
in Seattle the charge is so or
a difference of $16.S0 per year. Is
not that some taxation? We have
been paying this for the greater por-
tion of the past twenty years. Do YOU
want to do so for the next twenty
years and all time thereafter? Do you
understand why Stone & Webster are
so much interested in your tax mat
ters? | think | do. This city had on
April 1st, 1915, according to the pub
lie service commission report, 5,444
consumers of water Some of these
wise gentlemen say that the most of
the people are renters and that thev
vote for the proposed plan because
it does not cost them anything. say
this is an insult as the laboring man
and every other man who lives in the
WY pay tdA6Ss uOH l care WneIner
he pays it direct or indirect. An Off
Ger of the United States while in this
city said to the writer, Everett is the
finest city that | have ever known for
milking by corporations" This is a
new expression but | agree with him.
Don't you? The city of Everett has
been struggling to get a municipal
water system that would furnish an
abundance of pure water for the city
at reasonable cost. A city council
was elected in which that was the
main issue and it is general history
how this council fooled the people by
telling them that the Sultan Basin
could not be had and that corpora
tion had the first rights and that We

in Seattle instead of here and give Sc
attle the morning service and Everett
has to take whatever it can get. 1t is
stated that the vessels that enter this
port have to take on $4,000 gallons of
water in order to get a &c rate per
1000 gallons while in Seattle they get
a rate of 4c per 1000 gallons. Great
business isn't it, DO YOU see how
these great interests of Everett are
encouraging commerce to come here
and what would happen if we had a
municipal plant that would offer pure
water and an abundance of it at the
same rate that Seattle and other cities
do? When the present system was in
stalled in Everett, l am informed by
one who helped to make the rates. that
saWmills got rate of 10 cents per
thousand gallons ana at the rate some
Of the sawmills in the city paid S125
per month for water or $500 per
year or per cent on $4,000 1t
would be interesting if the Taxpayers
League would furnish the income Of
the present plant from these sources
and as good citizens they ought to do
so if they are so interested in the
welfare of the city.
The Last Chance.
Citizens of Everett this is your last
chance to get this great water source
and power source at any price and
there are two reasons why this is
true; First the last legislature to
the shame and disgrace Of this state.

the city to get a certificate of neces.
sity from the public service commits.
sion before a municipal plant can be
put in and if for any reason this should
fail to be repealed by referendum at
the next election, then the city would
have to get a certificate of necessity
before it could do so Do you appre-
ciate Just what this means? DO YOU
understand what the interests were
working at when they went down at
the legislature last winter. Second.
another reason is if the present cleo
tion fails to get it then the corporation
whose rights expired June 1st. and
who are now pleading for an extension
OF time, and which will be granted it

vote "Yes" on all three propositions
on Aug. "a, 1915. 1t is unnecessary to
state that the water system in the city
of Everett is unfit for domestic pur-
poses so l will pass that by and dis
cuss it from the point of economy. The
present owners say it is a good thing
and | agree with them. Last year the
water plant paid more than $1O6,Ouu,-

The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1915-08-20

are they opposed to buying a water
plant for a million dollars or less and
which is paying per cent on more
than $20O0,O00? The Taxpayers
League says that we are going to
mortgage our homes and that
ruination will follow for the city if it
launches upon such an enterprise Just
think Of such logic win you Tax
payers League please explain why it
is we'll for the taxpayers of this
county to bond the county for Sl.5OO.-
000 for the building of good roads and
mot bond the city for the bringing in
of water supply to this city. Citi-
.zens of Everett remember you will
mot issue bonds to buy the present
water plant only for bringing in the
supply from Sultan Basin. A supply
that costs you nothing. The bonds for
the purchase of the plant Will be
utility bonds paid for by the earnings
of the plant and not by general taxa
ton This city is paying 81 per month
for 235 hydrants so | am informed by
the city officers, and two that they
are paying $6 per month for and in
the event that water is used for other
purposes than fire, an extra charge is
made. Just think there is an average
of about Is hydrants a month used
and there are hydrants so the officers
state, that have never been used since
their installation Remember the city
installs these and maintains them
after they are installed Great bust
ness isn't it? Do you see why Stone
& Webster are so interested? do.
PAYING FOR WHAT?
We are not paying for just what water
we use but we are paying for what
we do not use and paying for water
that is only fit for extinguishing fires
and watering the streets and not for
drinking purposes. l am reliably in
formed that ii costs the railroad com
panies 81 for as much water in Ev-
erett as they pay 35 cents for in Sc
attle. 1t is stated and not disputed
that the Island Transportation Com.
panies cannot make the Everett docks
their bases for the reason that the
water charges are so great Hence
