CLEAN UP CAMPAIGN
ACTS AS PREVENTIVE
FOR FIRE LOSSES

reduction Of $500. 600 in the fire
loss OF one year, reduction Of in
surance rates of from . to 5 per cent
and an annual saving Of about $780,
600 IN fire insurance premiums. All
of this was due TO a thorough clean
up and paint up campaign in the
city of Cincinnati so says report OF
| the Chamber Of Commerce of that
| city A clean up is simply good bus
mess. Your home, Your store, your
stock Of goods in this city will be
safer if every man, woman and child
will take hold of the clean up idea
and push it until the rubbish and dry
weeds are away from the houses and
sheds; until every attic, cellar ana
closet is free of all kinds OF litter.
In a dry country such as ours there
is always an added hazard in allow
/ ing dry weeds and old paper to ac-
cumulate as il has in many places
about town. There are entire blocks
menaced by such accumulations thar
could be cleaned up by the owners
for a dollar or so. There are houses
aud stores menaced by piles of trash
! that could be hauled off and burned
for d few cents The city is not go
ing to send around Il big wagon and

expect every householder to see 20 it
that the rubbish on his place Is haul
ed off.
There is another phase Of the clean
up campaign that would reduce the
fire risk in albuquerque greatly. Not
only trash and rubbish ought TO go
but there are good many old sheds
and houses and store rooms that
ought to be torn down. They are
no longer being used and are in such
| condition that they are beyond re-
pair. They are ugly They raise the
insurance rates for all buildings near
them Why not clean these up this
spring? II the owners refuse to do
so they ought TO be declared fire
menaces and dealt with accordingly
Nne-tenths of all the people of the
city are careful and keep their prem
ises clear OF extra fire hazards. II
the nine-tenths will only make them
selves heard during the next few
weeks the remaining tenth will come
to time and do the right thing in
cleaning up. Fifty per cent of all
fires can be prevented by using care.
I-Now is the time to begin II there is
fire hazard in the neighborhood re-
port il TO the fire department.

Cane and Kaiir Dangerous to Stock at
This Season.

This is time of year when poisoning
from cane and kafir corn is most liable
to occur. Prussic acid, or as it is
sometimes called. hydrocyanic acid, is
generally conceded to be the most
deadly of poisons and it is developed
in cane, kafir corn. johnson grass, the
leaves of the wild cherry and no doubt
in some other plants. when the condi-
tons are just right. The leaves of
wild cherry and choke cherry are dan
gerous when they are partially wilted.
Cane and katir corn are most dangerous
when eaten green just before frost
and especially when they have made a
stunted growth from lack of moisture.
The dried stalks seem to never poison
animals.
The poison develops very quickly
after the green corn is eaten and in
some instances the animal almost drops
dead in his tracts. Cattle and sheep
are most susceptible to poisoning and
rarely if ever are horses affected.
Both chemical and physiological anti
dotes are out of the question in most
cases because of the quick action of
the poison. There is special danger in
turning cattle into cane and kafir corn
fields until the corn has been cured
frost or cut and cured in the shock. -

know that, as Secretary of Commerce Redfeld

EQUITABLE FREIGHT RATES FOR OLYMPIA

Certainly, if Olympia merchants and shippers
are working under handicap of from twenty to
forty dollars a car freight from the East and
of similarly higher rates on what is technically
known as local freight-and the figures gathered
by the Chamber Of Commerce would indicate that
that is exactly the situation in which the city is
put by the present tariffs-then the rates should
be re-adjusted until Olympia stands on equal
footing with all other Puget Sound cities

sentative to the letter addressed to that company
last week by Frank NJ Kenney on behalf of the
Chamber of Commerce, appears elsewhere in this

spirit which will doubtless lead to the readjust-

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
COUNTY UNIT PLAN FOR SCHOOLS.

To person who studies the problem OF admin
,stering our schools with the greatest efficiency at
the cheapest cost, the county unit plan which was
discussed by Superintendent O. {. Goss in this
paper last week and which is to be presented to
the next legislature by the County Superintend
ents' Union of the state, appears to be most adj
visabe step in the right direction Chief among
the arguments in its favor that occur to us off
hand are that it would eliminate much duplica
ton and hence considerable expense which is
inevitable in county of this size that has sixty
five Districts it will enforce uniformity of taxa
ton, uniformity of expenditure uniformity of
policy, will tend to eliminate much lost effort and
to redirect such may be misdirected, and
should materially raise the standard of all the
schools
The question is mighty important for all
OF us to consider AT least half of the taxes we
raise in this county for schools, and it is
therefore directly to individual interest to see
to it that such amount of money is spent wisely,
to get the most for it that We can, with the least
duplication, the least lack of effectiveness Now,
with sixty-ve districts, sxty-ve different clerks
three times as many school directors, and all the
expense such multiplied division of officers and
offices inevitably entails each school director and
clerk may and doubtless does strive to administer
the affairs of their particular district as conscien
tiousy and efficiently as possible, and yet not be
able to handle it's affairs as cheaply and as salts
factorily as could set of directors superintend
ing the school business of the entire county.
The question of lower taxation is our chief cry
these days, and ordinarily the first thing we think
of in this connection is cutting the cost of the va
rious county Offices. AS matter of fact only
about twenty-five per cent Of our taxes go to the
support of these offices, while as much more is
spent on roads and the remaining half on our
schools. Here in this big field is where reductions
will count more than anywhere else, if any are
possible, and the county unit plan it seems to us,
would offer an excellent opportunity to SO admin
lister our school system that reductions would be
possible.
Thurston county's schools are unquestionably
managed as cheaply and as efficiently and salts
factorily possible under the present system by
the present directors; the proposed system, it ap-
pears to us, would be superior.
