CITY DEMANDS
MORE CARSON
IT. R. &P. LINES

A determined effort will be
made by the city to force the Ia
coma Railway e Power Co. to
continue it's past service on all
Icity street car lines.
City Attorney Harmon was in
structed by the city council Sat
urday to take vigorous steps
against the street car company,
as a result of the new 40-minute
service established on the Taco
ma ave.-Center at. line.
Other reductions in car service
will likewise be fought.
The franchise under which the
Tacoma ave. cars are operating
provides the city may fine the
street car company for any failure
to provide adequate service. The
fine shall be from So to $2b for
every offense.
| According to the city councils
plans, a demand will be made
upon the T. r. & P. Co. for 20
minute service, Is hours daily. IL
the company fails to live up to
the demand, fine will be imposed
for each of the 15 hours daily un-
til such time as the service is i'm
proved or the case taken into
court.
There is an uproar of protest
from persons living out on Center
street and from the manufacture
lers established in that district"
Mayor Fawcett told the council.

Channel Dredging
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
Your paper says the Blue Fun
mel liner Protesilus, which ar
rived in port this week after an
absence of six years, will probably
be forced to move to Seattle to
take the most of her cargo, which
she is supposed to receive here,
but cannot because Of the shallow
channel.
What is the matter with the city
council and all the clubs we have
in the city, that they don't demand
that the U. 8. government do this
work?
Our government spends millions
|of dollars ON work there is no need
of, while even Olympia and other
small harbors get annual harbor
appropriations, by simply asking
for 1t.
Here, we of Tacoma obIigate
ourselves for millions of dollars
for an army post, and thousands
for Red Cross work, before anyone
"a killed.
IL is terribly discouraging to en-
terprising people who are trying
to build big city here, to see so
little interest In our city by all the
clubs and the organizations.

BIG SHIPMENT
OF US. GOLD
is EXPLAINED

WASHINGTON, d. c., May &c.
1T is because Japan's export
trade with America has doubled
since the war started that such
large shipments of gold have been
made to that country, it was Off
cially stated at the japanese en-
bassy today.
Commenting on the expectation
Of approximately $35, 100000 in
gold to Japan since the first OF
the year, embassy officials stated
that the difference in the balance
Of trade created by Japan's rap
idly growing exports made the
gold importations into Japan nee

WAS stated.
None Of the gold is to be loaned
Russia or France or England, or
any Of the allied powers, as had
been reported.
1t was said that these big gold
shipments Will cease in a short
time because Japan does not want
too much gold, since the govern
mont does not care to encourage

money and q rise in the cost OF

mud and the dark are not the peo
pie in the United States who
should be called upon in the name
of patriotism to give their little
all to the cause. This United
States is not the poverty-stricken
nation some people seem to think
it Is.
We have our taxation plentiful
ly distributed throughout this
broad land of ours to cover its
necessary expenses and the United
States government is not in the
robbery business.
The only people who seem to
think so are those who talked so
loudly about what indefinite
"others" should sacrifice to get an
army post near Tacoma. Let
those who are so generous with
what doesn't belong to them
divide what their little homes
would bring before they ask us
to walk from our homes with less
than we came with.
When the government wanted
an army post in New York state
the government paid $1,500,000
for 5000 acres. Why should the
people of Pierce county ask the
government to steal homes on the
coast?
A jury of men like the one who
wrote to The Times and feared
for his job because he knew his
views would be condemnd by any
one but thieves, would be great to
sit in judgmentn They would be
passing resolutions to tar and fea-
Their those whose homes they stole.
The Tacoma Times has always
stood boldly for what was fair to
those oppressed, regardless OF
financial standing, and 1t has as
much right to uphold the rights
of the small land holder of Ameri-
can lake as it has to stand up for
the big taxpayer of Tacoma.

The Times very gladly
gives space to this rather long
letter, because 1t sets forth
an angle of the army post
matter which has not rece4v-
ed the public attention 1t de-
serves; namely, the side OF
the ACTUAL SETTLER on
the Nisqually plain.
Mrs. Golfers argument, of
course, Is unanswerable insO-
far as it demands a just val
uatiOn for the improvements
that have been made by he
settlers. The Times seconds
every point she makes along
that line.
The jury in bringing in the
condemnation awards MUST
recognize the validity Of such
q plae. 1t must not, however,
be misled into listening to the
hOneyed arguments of specu-
lators who have been holding
vast tracts of the prairie land
in idleness waiting for a
chance to sell them at an
immense profit to the govern
mept or In small subdivisions
to men and women who
would put them to use.
The jury must strike a
happy mean; It must dispense
justice to two sets of taxpay-
ers, those who own the lands
to be taken and those who
will foot the bills to reim-
burse the former. It Is big,
serious task they face. The
right sort Of veniremen must
be selected.-Editor.)
