The president, despite the long hours
he devotes to peace work, finds time
to read interesting letters from all

answers personally. One arrived today
from Harold II. Rucker seven years

ouietest city in Country

Seattle, Wash, Feb. lin the sec
ond day of the first general strike in
the United States, Seattle was today
probably the quietest city in the
country.
Up to late hour there had been
no show or hint of violence.
Twenty four arrests for minor Of
fenses only, since 12 clock yesterday
established low record in police an
nails of the city.
Curious crowds slowly filled the
streets, expecting something to hap
pen to break the tension.
Despite this, preparations at police
headquarters were going forward on a
gigantic scale. Night sticks and guns
were distributed to volunteer patrol
men, By noon more than 5000 special
policemen were available for instant
call.
The water system, light stations and
utilities were roped off and strongly
guarded by details composed Of po-
lice, soldiers and sailors.
Numbers of discharged soldiers and
sailors were also offering their SER
vices as "moral suasion' videttes to
the law and order council of the strik-
ers, asserting that they wanted to be
neither deputized nor armed.

MAY BE TWO LIBERTY
BOND ISSUES DURING
1919 TO MEET BILLS
Revenue Measure viii Mean
Average OF $50 Tax Each
Individual This Year.

| Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Feb. 7.--Records Of the
treasury department and the appropria-
tions committee fthe house and senate
today showed why congress is about to
enact the biggest tax bill in history,
the six billion dollsr revenue measure
that will take an average of $50 this
year and $40 next year from every indi-
vidual Of the nation s 100,000,000 popu-
ation.
These records show that the govern
ment will cost the people $18,000,000,-
900 this fiscal year and $10000,0 ,000,0 900
in the 1920 fiscal year.
The tax bill now before congress rails
es only one-third of the amount requir-
ed for tho tax-spending year ending
June 8, 1919, and only 40 per cent Of
the tax expenditures for the tax-spend-
inc wear ending June 30, 1920.
|. Where is the rest Of the money com
inc from?
There is only one way to get it,
bonds. Therefore. unless the tax x-spend-
ing can be brought to the limits of tax
paving, there will be bond issues not
only in 1919 but in 1920.
Cancelled Contracts.
The 1919 tax.spendiug year congress
appropriated more than $36,000,000 900.
But the ending of the war caused can
collation. Of contracts totalling moro
than $2,000,000,000 and bill in con-
cells 81 100000 more. The ultimate
total of such cancellations win be about
$4,000, 100000, or half the sum appro-
priated. This leaves $lS,OOO,0 100000 as
the net cost Of the government this year
OF this amount the pending tax bill is
estimated to raise $6,070,000, 900.
Some congressman say it won t raise
more than $5 100000, but if it raises
the amount its sponsors hope for, it
will leave approximately $4,000, ,0OO,-
600 to be raised by more bond issues.
Appropriations for the 1920 tax year
bear out the estimate Of 100000, 100000
which has been made by members OF
the house and senate and which was
forccaste by former Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo before the senate fl
nance committee.
Passes IA Bills.
Congress passes fourteen regular ap-
preparation bills for the support Of the
government. Those fourteen bills will
total $5,507 100000 for 1920. this fig
ure is obtained from bills lready passed
and departmental estimates on the 9th
crs. If the army Of occupation Is kept
in Germany T. long time Or the total
armed strength of the United States
exceeds 100000, this figure will be too
low, inasmuch as the army appropria-
tion bill carrying 81 1,916,O00,OOO is bas-
ed on un army of 100000.
On the other hand, If the three year
navy program is rejected by congress
that means some reduction, as the $746-
900, 700 navy bill is included in the
$5. .25O ,0O0, 900. But in addition to these
regular appropriations, there are mum
Der of extras, including:
Paying the guaranteed price for
wheat-$1 100000 900 (estimated).
Interest on bonds 81 ,0OO,0OO,OOO.
Railroads, $75O,ooo,OOO.
Pay bonus for soldiers, $4oO,Ooo,ooo'
Labor departments housing plan
mot yet decided on), $2,OOO,OOO,oo0.
Total, SIS 250, 100000.

SENATE IS ELOQUENT
IN DISCUSSING LAW
ON PUBLIC UTILITIES
Amendment Would Take Pow.
er to Alter Rates From Pub
lie Service Commission.

The senate had real taste Of ora
tory and debate yesterday afternoon
when three hours were spent in discus
sing senate bill A, introduced by Sena
tor Huston, and which amended the
public utilities law 50 as to take from
the public service commission authority
to alter rates fixed by franchise agree
ments prior to November 7, 1912, whisi
is the date the public utilities law went
into effect.
In the end the senate voted to XII
the bill as everybody knew it was 20
ing to do before the debate started
The bill was before the senate as q
special order of business and with q
majority and minority report from the
revision Of laws committee. The ma
jority report, signed by four members
favored the bill while the minority rc
port, signed by three members, oppos q.
the bill.
The test vote came on the question
Of substituting the minority report toi
the majority report. The motion cdf.
ried by a vote of 81 to 0. The vote
was as follows:
For the report and against the bill--
Baldwin, Banks. Bell, Eberhard, Effy,
Farrell, Gill, Handley, Howell, Jones
Lachmund, Moser, Nicholson, Norblad
Orton, Patterson, Porter, Ritner, Smith
of Josephine, Thomas, President Vinton
Against tho report and for the bill
Dimick, Huston, Hurley, LaFollett
Pierce, Shanks, Smith Of Coos, Strayer
Wood.
Senators Huston, Strayer and Pierre
spoke in support Of the bill, while Sen.
ators Eddy, Banks Moser and Howell
spoke against the measure.
Should Hold Inviolate.
That franchise agreements should b,
held inviolate the same as agreements
between private persons, was the con
tention of those supporting the bill
while the opposition insisted that tn
public service commission, ss an agency
Of the state, should not be limited i.
its power to regulate rates whether they
we're fixed by franchise contracts o.
not.
Somewhere | have heard something
about a scrap Of paper, something abou

cannot go out and convince the com
mon people that contract should b,

When you say contract is only seral
of paper you are launching out on dal
gerous sea." /"
Senator Eddy opened the debate il
opposition to the bill, and declared tina
the measure is the most far-reaching al
tack that has been made on the publ
utilities law as it would take away froi

DEPENDENT BOYS NOT
TO Be SENT TO STATE
SCHOOL IF BILL Wins
House Not In Favor OF Teach
ers Breaking Cotracts 80
Days Before School.

Attention school teachers! If the bill
that passed the house yesterday should
finally become law, school teachers
will not be permitted to cancel their
teaching contract within two months
Of the first day Of school. Through the
present law, the. teacher may jump the
job just so notice is given 80 days be-
fore school begins. Now it may be that
the scrap of paper called contract
must be broken SO days before the
first day of school. The house was al
most willing to make it 80 days, as it
doesn't approve of teachers making
q contract for one school and then
looking out for better job.
The bill providing amendments to
the working men s compensation act
was passed by the house. Among 9th
er provisions is one that the employer
in case of accident and less of limb,
must furnish an. artificial limb. The
bill was satisfactory to the labor ele-
ment.
st
Notes given for life insurance poll
cies are hereafter to be marked non
negotiable for 60 days. The bill was
passed by the house to prevent shark
insurance agents from taking a man s
note for the first premium and then
at once selling the note. Sometimes
