WATERS BUS ACTION
is ALL WRONG, SAYS
WILSON'S Statement

being able to work at their ordinary
business. These men, to my mind,
should be given these jobs in the reg
ular legal way, whether they come
from the second ward or some other
part of the city. Also that traffic
regulations comes directly under the
supervision of the police committee
and this is absolutely a traffic matter.
THE police committee have ample
funds to pay these starters, but the
committee must know somthing about
who is going to spend their funds for
them. 1920 will be my eighth year
as member of the city council, and
this is the first time in my experience
that such a stunt has been pulled off.
1t is time to sit up and take notice.
II have taken the matter up with
the city attorney as to the authority
of the judiciary or other committee
to make such appointments and has
advised me as follows:
William C. Wilson, Alderman,
Chairman of the Police Committee
Dear Sir:
October %, 1919.
"1 beg to advise you that the
regulation of automobiles comes
within the Jurisdiction of the police
committee in so far as traffic regula-
tions are concerned. The judiciary
committee has no power other than
to advise the council as to what IL
censes shall be issued and to make
its recommendations. If any appoint
ments are made by your committee
or any other committee they must
first be presented to the board in
open meeting, and approved by them,
and then referred to the mayor for
his approval or veto. Any appoint
ments made otherwise would be IL
legal and any person accepting such
appointment would not be entitled to
any pay from the city. All appoint
ments must be by resolution where a
salary is involved.
I'm this connection I wish to state
that in the finance act known as the
Pierson Finance Laws all money
from whatever sources must be paid
into the city treasury, known as the
general fund, from which no money
can be withdrawn except out of the
proper appropriation, which in this
case would be the police appropria-
ton, there being no other appropria-
ton made to cover the jitney ordi-
nance.
Yours truly,
"LEO GOLDBERGER,
"'City Attorney"

7p Special Correspondent.


KEYPORT, Oct. 28:-Cyrus j.
Zimmerman, who started an air trip
to Key West early yesterday morn
ing, was forced to land at Atlantic

encountered. When they first landed
they could not tell exactly where they
were, but after a short search they
became acquainted with the sur
roundings and prepared to continue
early this morning.
The machine got off to a good start
early this morning and expects to
make up for the time lost in the
landing. They will not stop at Cape
May, N. J., for fuel as first planned,
and in this way they believe they will
make the trip In three days
After the departure of the machine
yesterday morning it was found that
the bull dog of Edward Smith, for
merly of Perth Amboy an employe
of the Aeromarine Company, had
been taken along on the trip and

WASHINGTON, oct. 28.-King AL
bert of Belgium paid homage in the
House of Representatives today to the
American Army, which he described
as ''the decisive factor in determining
the victory"
In an address to the Senate a few
minutes earlier he asserted that moth
ing could better characterize the
reign of universal democracy than
the friendship of his country and the
United States.
The addresses of his majesty today
were the longest and most important
he has made in America. They were
intended as messages to the entire
nation and his sincerity in expressing
the thanks of Belgium to Americans
for their aid was plainly evident.

PUBLIC SERVICE
REJECTSZONES
FOR 7 CENT FARE
Notifies Public Utility Commits
sion to That Effect
BIZ Special CorresDondent.

By Special CorreSDondent
TRENTON oct. 2S-The Public
Service Railway Company, through
/. II. u. Gilmore. one of its counsel.
today told the Public Utility Com
mission that it would not accept the
board zone plan of five cents for the
first two zones and a cent a mile
thereafter with an additional cent for
each transfer and asked for a return
to the fiat rate of seven cents with
a penny additional for a transfer
The board took the matter under
advisement.
Mr.. Gilmour said the company es-
timated the cost of operating on the
zone plan would be 100000 more
than under the fiat rate
One of the arguments also advanc-
ed was the unpopularity of the zone
system, although President McCarter
a a recent hearing told the board he
wanted to save the principle of zone
fares. Today Mr.. Gilmour presented
the contents of a letter from the COM
pany'S employees declared the plan
impossible and asking for a return to
the fiat rate. He declared the zone
system to be impracticable and un-
workable and said under it the COM
pany would lose more than one
fourth of its anticipated revenue
Yes, but the company anticipated
loss or revenue never anticipated
by this board commentd President
Slocum of the commission.
Commissioner George f. Wright
also stated that the company would
only have to stand the loss five or
six weeks while the valuation of the
property for a permanent rate Is be-
ing completed
Mr.. Gilmour said the company's
opinion is that the zone system should
be Immediately abandoned
The company, therefore, is una
BILE to accept the recommendation of
the board and reneSs its application
to return to the fiat fare of seven
cents with a penny for a transfer"
said Mr.. Gilmour, (which rate has
already been approved by the Court
of Errors and Appeals of the State
of New Jersey"
He then said the company wanted
1t stated that the seven cent rate
would only keep 1t going and will
not yield any return upon its capital
stock Investment, land is not the
rate to which the company is en-
titled"
'Then why don't the company
state openly and above board what
rate it ought to have" asked Presi-
dent Slocum. 1T has been doing
lot of figuring"
Mr.. Gilmour replied the company
wanted to wait until the completion
of the valuation now being made by
the board. In his brief for a seven
cent fare, the counsel said the seven
cent fiat rate would produce $2,500,-
900 more gross revenue than under
the five cent zone plan recommend
ed by the Utility Board and approx
mately $3,OO0.O00 more net revenue
than the boards plan.

HEALTH NOTES
BY NJ. S. PARKER.


There is one thing that ! especially
desire to urge and that is the very
great necessity of medical inspection,
not only among children but also
among adults. About ten years ago,
through the columns of the Capital
News, / advocated such inspection and
since that time have had no occasion
to change my mind. ] am more firmly
for 1t today than ever before and dur
ing the interim I have not ceased to
advise 1t. A careful examination by
reliable physician should be had at
least once every six months by every
one, no matter whether or not you be-
lieve there is anything wrong with your
body. How can anyone but a skilled
physician tell? Don't take any chances,
reader for 1t may be too late when you
are forced by sickness to go to a doc
tor.
The people Of Idaho should not for
get that the Christmas Seal sale is to
start about the first of December this
year. The money secured In this man
ner will be used by the Idaho Anti
Tuberculosis Association in its health
campaign in this state, and particularly
In its fight against tuberculosis. You
could contribute to no more worthy
cause than this and it is to be hoped
that the people of the Gem state will
be particularly liberal in their pur-
chases of seals this year because there
IL vast amount of work ahead to be
done by the association. Buy and buy
and then buy more. Go down deep
into your pocket and thus help suffer
ing humanity.
Let me remind you again Don't
patronize an unclean dairy Milk from
such dairy is positively dangerous
The best milk that can be secured is
none too good. Certified or pasteurized
milk Is the best and safest Boise
should have a certified station and it
Is to be hoped that before long such
an establishment will be in operation
here.
In the main we suffer from disease
through ignorance; we escape 1t
through knowledge. Remember that
most diseases are easily perventable.
It is little less than a national crime
to let ovr 100000 pople die In this
country annually from such diseases,
which actually occurs every year.
The length of human life depends on
the care that Is given the body. We
should not lose sight of this important
tact.
