Charging that the kitch-
ems of many Tacoma res
ta,irants are filthy, and that
Pure Food Inspector Grace
+. Johnston is making no eff
fort to improve sanitary con-
ditiOns there, a committee
from the cooks and walters
union appeared before the
city council today and ask
ed for relief.
Mrs. Johnston devotes her in
spection to the dining rooms and
front part of the restaurant, de-
manding that they be spick and
span, the committee declared,
but has done nothing to improve
the quality of food served from
the kitchen. or to enable the
cooks and walters to have better
working conditions.
Those who represented the
restaurant workers were Thomas
A.. Bishoff, secretary of the
union; George p. Humphrey, a
waiter, and Charles Keith, a
cook.
Ruling Brings Kick.
The cooks and walters gave as
their reason for appearing before
the council, recent ruling of the
health board demanding certifi-
Gates of health from all persons
handling food
They insited that the health
officer should provide the certifi-
cate, instead of permitting any
physician to sign it, representing
that INSCRIPTIONS persons might
obtain certificates without being
entitled to them.
But our greatest complaint is
the fact that the cooks and wait
ers must furnish clean bill of
health, yet are forced to work in
filthy, unhealthy Kitchens" said
Secretary Bishoff.
I'VE are glad to provide the
certificate, in the interest of pub
lie health. But IL we are forced
to work in these unclean kitch-
ems 1t will not be many years be-
fore we become i'll with tuber-
culosis and are thrown out, to be
dependents upon the public.
Describe Filthy Kitchens.
1.-THE present pure food inspec-
tor is a farce. Instead of work
ing with the-cooks and walters in
an effort to clean up the kitchens,
she antagonizes us. / can show
you kitchens where grease and
filth is piled under the floor to a
depth of over IL inches.
I'm some restaurants the
bones from steaks and chops are
used to make brown gravy, when
they should be thrown out. Many
of the kitchens are SO dirty that
they would turn the stomachs OF
the person who is eating in the
dining-room outside. yet we have
to work under such conditions.
"If Mrs. Johnston would attend
some of our meetings, instead OF
devoting her time to the North
End Improvement club and the
women's clubs, she would learn
something about the work that
she is trying to do"
Call Special Meeting.
Bishoff charged that Mrs.
johnson had on one occasion rec
commended that he buy crackers
from certain manufacturer, "be-
cause they were more fresh"
IF Mrs. Johnston Is not doing
her duty, or IL she is antagoniz-
ing you, certainly want to Know
It," said Mayor Fawcett.
A special meeting of the coun-
ell will be held Thursday morn
ing. to probe today's charges.

time meet the necessary expenses of govrnment This
is the view which stands in of increase in tax
levy.
second view is that when values decline and
business is dull it is right and proper to reduce the
assessed valuation, but you'll have raise the tax
levy to meet the demand for improvements This
is view held by few office seekers
third view is that when prices are low, the as
sessed valuation must be cut accordingly but nobody
has any business raising the tax rate. 1t is the view
that says: "When business is poor and prices are
down up to city and county to chop expenses.
matter how much people holler for improvements"
This is Cameron's view lie says it's the only real
business method.
THE ONLY TROUBLE is IT MEANS THE
CITY FATHERS WILL HAVE JUST $Io5,ooo
LESS TO SPEND.
There's no way out of that The city can't raise
its tax rate, because that levy is already up to its
limit of IS mills
Commissioner Atkins has been the chief mourner
so far
1t has been argued by at least one member of the
city commission that Camerons cut in assessed val,i-
ations won't cut taxes.
On the face Of 1t this drgnuieut auont hold soafer
IN THE CITY. The city tar rate can't be raised
IT'S as high as it can go. Taxes 7pH haze to drop
iCith the assessed 1dlnai0ns.
But what OF the county, where the levy has not
reached its limit? The county levy can be raised
1t is estimated that if the county levy remains as
it is now and Camerons cut in valuations is allowed
to stand, $4,000 will have to be cut out of the road
and bridge fund, that flexible uncertain, vote-get-
ting, spending money, the first name of which is
patronage.
The total cut in available county funds it is esti-
mated, will be between $4,000 and $85ooo unless
the levy is increased
Rather than lose this spending money, will the
county attempt to shove higher tax rate? Or
will the commissioners take their medicine and keen
the taxes down?
THAT'S THE THING THAT WILL BE
WORTH WATCHING.
Cameron claims his reduction in assessed valua-
ton, if allowed to stand will mean not only cut in
city and county taxes, but reduction of more than
$4,000 in Pierce countys share of state taxes if the
state levy of o.4o7 mills remains the same.

JONES CARNIVAL TO
STAY ANOTHER WEEK

Announcement was made last night
by the management of the Johnny j
Jones Exposition Shows which have
been showing on the City Island all
this week. that arrangements had
been made to continue their engage
ment for another week.
The Jones Shows are very popular
in Daytona and the fact that tourists
from the south are arriving here daily
swelling the local crowds doubtless,
influenced the show managers to
prolong the stay of the carnival in
this city. The weather, too, during
the past week, or a portion of it, has
not been very favorable to outdoor
amusement and many people who
would, otherwise have mingled with
the crowds at the City Island festivi-
ties, were deferred by the chilling
winds which prevailed nearly every
night.
Most of the shows, including the
far-famed Miracle, the big feature of
the carnival, will change their pro
grams for the second weeks stay and
several new features will be offered
There will be no change in The
Whip, of course, but this popular rid
ing device would never grow tire

as crowded next week with laughing
merrymakers as it was this.
Both afternoon and evening per
formances will be given at the carni-
val, today and each day of next week.

next Saturday night, after the late
show.

has vetoed the army bill and in so do
ing has done wisely 1t is pleasure
to find something this administration
has done which can be frankly prais-
ed, and everyone familiar with the
facts and not involved in the person
al disputes between General Leonard
Wood and General Fred Ainsworth,
retired, appreciates that this is a
good veto, and one made necessary by
the attempt of the Democratic chair
man Of the military committee, Rep.
Hay. of Virginia, to destroy military
discipline in order to enable aFriend
to vent his spleen. The clause which
called forth the veto relieved officers
from liability to service and from mil
tary discipline. 1t was designed to
simply enable Gen. Ainsworth to pub
lish book attacking his timc-houor-
ed enemy, Gen. Wood. Possibly Rep.
Hay should not be too sevely blamed
because it is upon just such broad
national lines much of the legislation
Of this administration has been based.

they didn't fOrcsee that the president

President Wilson denies it. There is

If it doesn't constitute an abandon
