Mr. Paul Sayidge, superintendent Of city water
wants us to understand that our municipal power
plant the Nisqually river is not capable of doing
what it was built for
That we've either got to go out of the power bust
ness entirely or dig up few million dollars for
other plant
And that we simply cannot guarantee continuity
Of service to our consumers.
But who is Savidge?
Paul Savidge up to a short time ago was a surveyor
and draughtsman He became assistant project en-
gineer of the gravity water system, and when that
job was finished, Commissioner Drake created the
position of "water superintendent in order to give
him job.
Savidge may be good water superintendent, but
his record seemingly does not include any experience
in power plant administration.
As for continuity of service-has there ever been
since the Nisquay plant started operation Except
last summer when an electric storm burned out some
transformers) time when we did not have steady
continuous service?
As for an auxiliary system, haven't local mills and

Not Public's Business

Women voters may not be required to tell their age
IN Chicago.
There's no good reason why they should be re-
quired to tell their age at the polls anywhere. All
that the law need know about woman is that she is
Of voting age, or over, isn't it2

official to look in the eyes, or teeth, and de-

tHibbing is the terrible example Ci

Municipal extravaganza has run riot
for years. until the limit has been
reached. The mining companies re
fuse to be MIXED any longer by locs,
politicians who are casting about fc-
new ways to spend public funds.
This iron range town has a popula
ton Of 5000. There are A police
men on the local force. The fire de
partment cost sH,305 last year. Com
bined cost Of police and fire protec
ton is nearly 100000.
Village debts now aggregate $500,
go and the AK rate for 1916 was s21l

all Minnesota cities is only s5.&.
Hibbing is equipped with g munich

stand, baby incubator, detention hos
pital: in addition to 30 saloons. various
brotaels and gambling dens.
The tax payers have their hands
tied because Of the 1870 voters more

DO 1T NOW!

Now is the time to pick seed corn.
Every farmer who has a field in
which corn has reached the dent stage
or a. more advanced stage, should PICK
his seed ccrn for next year now,
Those who have no corn mature
enough to pick for seed should secure
permission to pick some neighbor's
field at a fixed price per bushel.
Corn, having been picked for seed,
should be stored Immediately, SO as
to avoid danger of freezing. In stor-
ing, the corn should be hung up where
1t will get thorough ventilation. Cold
weather will be less likely to hurt it
If it has been thoroughly dried.
No farmer can get too much seed
corn this fall. II he gathers more
than he cares to use on his own fields.
he will be able to dispose of his en-
tire surplus at a good profit in the

When Congress convenes it will be

It is urged by the financial editor

The revenues OF the federal gov

Gently because Of the decentralization

While the war has made the situa

slump in revenues long before the
European struggle began.
The Wilson administration will be
confronted Don with the problem OF
raising revenue to run the govern,
mert and meet appropriations made
by Congress. Whether It will be done
by more special internal revenue tax

sary to issue bonds to tide the gov.
eminent over until conditions become
