CAMPAIGN
ON BOOZE

In order to begin a vigorous
campaign against the "blind-pig-
gers" who are selling liquor in
Tacoma, Police Chief Harry M.
Smith will ask the city council
Wednesday for permission to hire
four special policemen.
The men will work for two
months, in which time Chief
Smith believes he can "clean out"
the liquor interests here. They
will remain incognito even to
other members of the department.
There is a constant sale OF
liquor in Tacoma, and the only
way that l can prevent it is by
bringing to the police department
men who are strangers here, ="
said Chief Smith Tuesday.

bootleggers know every police

ARQUETT
TO FIGHT
REMOVAL

Commissioner Gronen, who
took office as head OF the light
and water department Monday
afternoon, started a lot of trouble
for himself when he began MAX
ing sweeping changes in the per-
sonnet of the department on the
very first day.
Electric Supt. Edward Arquett,
who was discharged late Monday
afternoon, appeared at the civil
service commissions office Tues
day prepared to resist his dis
charge. Arquett is a civil service
appointee, having been one of two
men TO pass examinations out of
a class of 10. He will demand a
hearing before a civil service jury
on his discharge.
At the same time the eligible
ity of II. L. Hendrickson, a line
man who was appointed to fill
Arquett's place, will be contested.
In making changes in his new
department, Gronen caused many
surprises Monday afternoon. He
removed John Gallucci, foreman
of water mains, and appointed
Peter Dabro, former superintend-
ent of mains, to that position.
r. w. Jameson, former sheriff,
was discharged from the position
of stock clerk e. r. Rhodes,
commercial agent of the light de-
partment, was discharged and the
position abolished.
Gronen announced Tuesday
that he would retain Electric

 ACTIVE WORKERS

 Southern women will win suffrage through their ability as business women, said Mrs. G. H.

Mrs. Mathis was in Kansas to speak on her theories of farming to the Kansas state board of agriculture.
 ' Half of the farm land in Alabama is owned by women.' said Mrs. Mathis. Women own two thirds of Mississippi and two-thirds of the city of New Or leans. In the south, where so much of the property is in the hands of women, we are beginning to see the injustice of taxation without representation.
 Southern women who are not ac- lively in business still handle their own investments-and do it successfully. We are giving the men a demonstration of our ability and they will pass the suffrage amendment.
