AS TO THE BUDGET

Editor The Times:
The city council Is trying 70
hoodwink the people by juggling
the 1916 budget, in shifting the
burden onto the light and water
department, SO that the light and
water consumers will be COMPEL
ed to take this burden upon them
selves. Or in other words 1t Is
a case of Stealing from Peter
to pay Paul"
1t looks as II that body of men
(servants of the Tacoma people)
would willingly accept a reduc-
ton in their own salaries II theiI
own consciences were clear and
they wished to show they desired
to work for the interests OF the
city-at least for one year-ant
still each one could live very
nicely after the reduction, that II
If they really know the meaning
of economy" and are not greed,
for that almighty dollar, taking
into consideration of winter being
very near and the conditions they
know will exist among some peo-
pie who are met with misfortune
The following salary reductions
could be easily made in the city
hall, among the highest salaried
employees: Mayor, $1,000; (D
commissioners, $4,000; Judge
Stiles, 81, 900; Meads, $500. Abol-
ish the position of assistant city
attorney, $4,000, and reduce 9th
er salaries that are in any way
high, thus saving as shown above
a total of $500 a year and allow
those who really DO THE WORK
their present salaries.
In abolishing the office of rs
sistant city attorney, 1t seems
that Judge Stiles could, IL he
would, handle the legal depart
ment with no difficulty whatever,
or II not secure the services of a
young attorney who can meet the
requirements as city attorney.

You find that it is no camp at
all. There is a rude shelter which
someone has arranged of loose
boulders, and behind it you can
sit on the pumice stone and eat
some of the lunch which the guide
has carried in his knapsack.

just one swig, maybe, of cold tea

SENATOR NEWLANDS TALKS
ABOUT BRYAN AND WAR

That Rryan's resignation does not
come as a surprise to men on the In
side at Washington and reflects a
weakness neither on the part of Mr..
Wilson nor on the former secretary
Of state, is the opinion of Senator
Francis G. Newlands, who arrived
from Washington and expects to
spend the summer at his home in Re-
no. Senator Newlands believes the
time now is ripe for President Wilson
to mediate in the European var and
believes that Germany, as the victor
at the present time, Is the power
from which should come the terms
of peace, says the Reno Evening Ga
cite.
Wilson's policy on the Mexican sit
uation is endorsed by Senator New
lands and has been from the first.
The senator expressed his views on
the Bryan resignation and the war
situation in the following words:
THE resignation of Bryan was to
have been expected. He is, and has
been for years the Apostle of Peace
distinguished above all others for his
devotion to its advancement. His Is a
very simple and direct nature; a
thing with him is either right or
wrong; If in his judgment it is right
he supports it, and If wrong, he OPP
poses 1t. There is no compromise in
his nature. Such a man, guided by
the highest moral standards and pos
sessed of a courage and determine
ton, is untitled for the traditional
diplomacy, often moving in secret
and devious ways, guided by expedi-
ency and interest and characterized
by insincerity and indirection. He
does not believe that the way to dim
inish international murder is to join
in the homicide and, whilst he Is a
man of the highest courage and
would go to the stake for his prin-
ciples, he would not, as the apostle
of peace, insistent upon the substi-
tuition of reason and persuasion for
war as a means of settling interna-
tional contentious, be quick, what
ever the ~provocation might be to the
country which he served, to resort
to savagery for the cure.
Bryan Is one of the most remark
able men in history. He stands with
jefferson, Lincoln, Bright and Glad
stone as the exponent of morality in
politics, of democracy in government

CARSON WOMAN MEETS WITH
PAINFUL ACCIDENT

While walking down Carson street
Mrs. A. Belmont, wife of the farmer
at the Indian school at Carson City,
met with a painful accident. She was
crossing the street in front of the
fountain at the junction of Carson
and King streets accompanied by her
children, and not noticing that the
crossing was several inches above the
street, stepped on the edge and turn
ed her ankle, and had it not been
for a passerby would have fallen and
probably been more seriously injured.

plished in such a way as not to affect
her power of resistance against ex-
fernal aggression. she will lake the
lead in the new movement for the
peaceful adjustment of International
contentious and the reduction of arm
aments which has arrested the at
tention and enlisted the best thought
of the civilized world. Germany Is
the only country that can now state
the terms, for she is at present vic
torious. II she states them gener-
ously and wisely. the public opinion
of the world will force their accept
ance and she will emerge from the
contest as powerful for peace as she
has been for war. If she does not
state these terms, the responsibility
for the continuance of the war Is
hers. There can be but n result,
and that Is. universal deterioration of
race and impoyerishment of condi-
ton, the accumulation of a debt by
edC0 Ol iut WdlifuS ndtiOno, thO v
dens of which will be fruitful of un-
rest and revolution, resulting in the
destruction of existing governments
and dynasties. The restoration OF
peace means gain to all; the c%ontinu-
ance of war means loss to all and
gain to none. 1t involves the destruc-
ton of the. fit and courageous and
the return to elemental savagery.
Present conditions offer to Ger
many the opportunity of powerfully
aiding in crystallizing into concrete
form and action the sentiment COM
mon to all civilized peoples. that in
ternational justice should be admin
istered as is national justice. without
savagery, passion or prejudice and
according to the orderly forms of
law.

of Christianity and the Golden Rule
to International contentious, and of
altruism In human affairs.
I'm saying that it is not my pur-
pose to reflect in any way upon the
wisdom of the presidents course. AS
the chief of the state, leader of a
proud, courageous and determined,
but intensely practical, people, 1t
would be impossible for him to yield
to Mr.. Bryan's altruism, much as he
respects and admires it. I believe
that Mr.. Wilson will play a conspic-
uous part in the restoration of the
worlds peace. Germany has %practic-
ally appealed to him to mediate be-
tween England and Germany with a
view to the mitigation of savagery
in warfare displayed by England In
her attempt to starve, If possible, the
civil population of Germany. and in
the retaliatory action of Germany in
attempting to starve England by the
destruction of her supply ships
through submarines.
1T is clear that whether the war
be ended today or five years hence,
it will be a drawn battle. Germany
! must by this time see the impossible
ity of permanently holding any of
the territory which she has occupied.
Her fight Is now for her own domes-
tic territory and against humiliation,
subsection and partition. The spirit
and courage and effectiveness of her
people in aggression and conquest
will be shown all the more striking
ly in defense. The humiliation and
! conquest of Germany is an impossible
task.
Germany as the present victor has
the opportunity, through the presi-
dent of the United States as media
tor, to declare now the terms upon
which peace can be restored and If
she is only wise enough, after stat
ing her case so as to present the most

TER HAS HIS SALARY
CUT QUITE NOTICEABLf

In case Gov. Boyle has his way
about the "employe' known as sup
erintendent of Nevada buildings at
the San Francisco and San Diego ex-
positions, Zeb Kendall will not be re-
tanned in that position and the place
will not be filled. The governor
said he believed there was no need
of a superintendent Of Nevada build
ings at either exposition and that he
was not in favor of retaining Kendall
or any one else in that position.
Kendall drew $1100 from the state
as payment for services rendered as
superintendent. OF this amount 5000
was paid by the state controller In
accordance with the supreme court
decision on the mandamus proceed
ings against Jake Eggers. This was
for Kendall's salary for the month
of May, 1914.
Kendall's claim was for salary from
April 1, 1914, to May 1,1915 amount
ing IN all 10 @o,ouV. Inc chtiio UNI
was rejected by the board but on
Saturday the board of examiners
went over the claim again and ascer-
tanned just what time Kendall actu-
ally put in as superintendent.
Finally the bill was approved for
the months of April and June 1914,
and for two-thirds of the month OF
May, 1915. The claim for the month
of May, 1914, also vas paid, making
S1100 in all. Kendall put in an ex-
pense account for the month of May,
1915, but this was turned down by
the board.
In approving the claim for part OF
last month Gov. Boyle allowed 1t for
temporary unemployment in May
only"
The governor said that he called
a meeting of the exposition commits
sion last week to take some action
on Kendall's retention, but the board
adjourned without discussing the
matter.
