BY Edgar G. Wheeler

OLYMPIA, Jan. 3O.-Shorn of
every vestige of home rule that
might offend the Stone &c Webster
and other public utility corpora
tons, senate bill 81 was passed
by the senate late yesterday after
noon.
The bill applies only to the sale
of water by city or town outside
its corporate limits, and then only
when the public service commits
sion may say it can and under such
terms as that commission may fix.
The fear that the poor public
might at ONE stage of the game get
water or some other utility at
somewhere near cost was so evil
dent that it again and again
cropped out In the debate.
Hollow Victory.
Senator Palmer of King repeat
eddy inquired if the bill as amend
ed and finally passed meant that
Bremerton would have to charge
Charleston people the rates for
water that they would have been
forced to pay had the privately
owned water system conducted
under city franchise been al
lowed to continue in operation
rather than being condemned and
taken over by Bremerton.
AS a matter of fact extreme
care was taken to include in the
measure the proviso, Provided,
however, the rights and obliga-
tons of existing franchises shall
be maintained by the owner of
such public utility
The extension Of munioi-
pally owned public utilities
won, but it was an empty
victory.
From the time Senator Taylor
moved for reconsideration of the
Nichols amendment, the bill pro-
viding for extension of light, wa
ter and power beyond city limits,
substituting the amendment

STOMACH UPSET?
Get at the Real Cause-Take DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of
taking tonics, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the Acknowledged
liver and disordered bowels.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in a soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per-
forming their natural functions, away
goes indigestion and stomach trou-
bles. II you have bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, dont-care feeling, no ambition
or energy, troubled with undigested
foods, you should take Olive Tablets,
the substitute for calome1.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed
with olive oil. You viii know them
by their olive color. They do the
work without gripping, cramps or pain.
Take one or two at bedtime for
quick relief, so you can eat what you
like. l0c and Csc. All druggists.

SENATE PASSES
a TOOTHLESS Fl

passed yesterday. the home rule
features were clipped off little
by little.
S. & W. Men Busy.
With agents OF Stone & Web
ster interests on the grounds,
bringing pressure to bear on
every side. senators who had vot-
ed originally for the Nichols home
rule amendment were whipped
into line, forcing compromise
which eliminated every feature
giving cities the power to regu-
late their own utilities or extend
their light and power systems.
The Taylor amendment as
passed. though it empowers cit
les and towns to furnish water
outside the city limits, really
serves to put more power into
the hands of the public service
commission, by extending its con-
troll. indirectly, over city utili-
ties.
Fight Not Ended.
The action yesterday does not
mean the end of the home rule
fight.
Senator Nichols gave notice
that he would demand a consid-
GRAFTON of senate bill No. 6, in
PRODUCED by Senator Wray of
King county, giving any city or
town owning or operating its own
gas. water or electric plant the
right to dispose of such utilities
outside the city limits after the
wants of its inhabitants have
been upplied.
An effort will be made to force
this bill out Of the hands of the
public utilities committee.
In the house a similar bill has
been introduced by Reps Swale
and Yale.
Jones Against People.
Senators Jesse Jones, Palmer,
Taylor, Chase, Client and Wray
were the ones who did a big part
of the jobbing which resulted in
the emasculation of the bill.
Jones, as usual, sprung the
old bugaboo about the danger of
cities "embarking on business en-
terprises.'
And he quoted at length from
a statement attributed to former
City Attorney Stiles of Tacoma to
the effect that this thing of al
lowing cities to go into business
outside their own limits has no
precedent and would require the
very careful preparation of
whole code of new law"

SEATTLE BANK
CLOSES DOORS
Un,ted Press Leased wireJ

stnited Pfess Leasto WIZ
SEATTLE, Jan. 30-The North
ern Bank & Trust Co., at Pike ST.
and Westlake avenue, failed to
open its doors at 10 o'clock this
morning.
The banks liabilities are ST.
600. 900; assets, $1,100,OOO.
The failure of the bank was an
ticipated following an examina-
ton of the affairs of the concern
by the state bank examiner, Mon
day night.
The Northern Bank & Trust Co.
did the clearinghouse business
for the Broadway State Bank, and
when the latter failed recently a
run was practically started on the
Northern bank.
The Withdrawals were steady,
and Monday night the bank exam
liner decided to close the doors.
The cause of the failure is said
to be slow returns on loans, some
made previous to the European
war, to German interests.
Both the Northern Bank &
Trust Co. and the Broadway State
bank were organized several years
ago by w. Phillips, who is charged
with making loans that eventual
ly forced the closing of the banks,
Phillips. for a time in Tacoma, is
in New York city at present.

we're lined up for inspection. Cry
for smelling salts2 Not he.
Makes Last Plea
But when, at last, Senate Bill 81
was led forth to the slaughter -
then did Mr.. Bean have the full
reward for his waiting.
AS Senator Iverson, in broken
words, sent up last impassioned
plea for his offspring, asking that
1t might not be offered up to the
mercy of Messrs. Blaine and Spin
ming and Lewis, the pleasure OF
Mr.. Bean radiated down from the
gallery heights.
When Senator Nichols good
steed baked and withdrew from
the killing, the doughty manager
could not refrain from pacing the
gallery aisle, reviewing his gal
liant cohorts az they fell in line,
ready to do his bidding.
Jones Helps, Too
Then did Senator Howard Tay-
lor bare his blade. striking at the
heart of Senate Bill 81, and Louis
Beans eyes danced with glee.
Then did Jesse Jones supply the
instruments of torture by reciting
the knitting song composed by
Judge Stiles, former city attorney
Of Tacoma, and Mr.. Bean was en-
|raptured.
Then did Dan Landon. in a great
voice, send up his cry for water.
IF I can't get light and power
for my district, I'm willing to take
water" cried the senator from
King. And Louis Bean glosted,
grasping at the spoils of the victor.
Then did Senator Chase, banker
and philanthropist, chant in cold
words that the victim was about
to change its identity.
At last, as the shadows fell, the
wedge was driven home. 1t was
the entering wedge, by which the
cohort of knifers conjured up WIS.,
ions of public service commission
tentacles, reaching out and fasten-
ing themselves upon the life blood
of city utilities.
81 to 1
So passed Senate Bill 81, strip
ped of all the fair trappings with
which Senator Nichols had adorn-
ed it, buffeted, betrayed, stabbed
in the back, hacked beyond recog-
milton, warning to cities not to
compete with the powers behind
the throne.
Senate Bill 81 passed all the
way from home rule to corporation
rule, to be numbered among the
measures giving the public service
commission just one more clutch
in the control and jobbing of city
utilities. And when it had passed
through the transformation, no
wonder Senator Iverson was
ashamed to call 1t his own.
1t was a jolly good day for
Overseer Louis Bean, from his
place in the balcony.
The vote stood 81 to /.
