BRISTOL BOLSHEVISM
(Plain Talk from the Bristol Herald

A good deal of interest has been mani
tested this week in the case of Thomas
W Fletcher of Bridport charged with
adultery. The case began in the Add
county court Monday. This fact has
not caused any trembling among GER
tain people in Bristol who have ne
elected having the marriage ceremony
performed because of certain legal
forms they cannot subscribe to. 1t is
possible the town may not be called on
to support the offspring of such per
sons but it is taking chances for sure

SHOVE 1T ALONG:
IT'S A GOOD THING

The proposition to take over the
City Dock, revived in the Central
Labor Council on Wednesday March
-, continues to gain in public in
terest. On the above date Messrs
!. J. Clark and r. J. Faussett visit
ed the Council and started the ball
rolling, Since then agitation of
the proposition has gained in VOL
ume and momentum until it begins
TO seem it has aroused the people
from their slumbers. That awak-
ening is what is needed to con-
vince the citizens Of Everett that
they must have municipality owned
water frort and dockage to free
them from the payment of tribute
to private ownership of the gate
way from the Sound to the city.
The city does own the dock and
the proposition is to take it over
from the private operator and
operate it for the benefit of the
whole town.
A Committee of the three chief
officers of the Council has been act
i've on the job since its beginning,
on March -.

City Attorneys Opinion

In Tuesday evenings Herald, the
report of the discussion of the City
Dock proposition, says;
City Attorney William A. Johnson
argued against instituting recov-
cry suit. TO put the dock in first
class shape would require an initial
expenditure Of from $4,000 to 500
600, it was stated. The city is now
nearing the limit of its debt allow
anCc under the state law and to in
cur such additional Indebtedness, the
city attorney stated, might hinder
projected plans for the power plant
on the Sultan river.
In reply to questions from the
commissioners Attorney Johnson
said that the recovery of the dock
was hardly one for court action. 1t
appeared to the city attorney that
the city holds the right to imme-
date possession any time it chooses
to exercise that right.
1T is a question with me-" stated
Attorney Johnson" whether we have
to pay anything at all; whether we
will have to arbitrate according to
the agreement or just tell the firm
to get out"
The question of recovery, it de-
veloped, was precipitated by the
vague Technology of the lease. mo
one that | know" it was stated by
one at the meeting this morning,
has the least idea of what it is all
about. The lease provides for a re-
neWal at the close of the 10-year
tenure yet does not say how or by
whom it shall be renewed"

LABOR AND WHEAT
(By Grant Hamilton.)

If the winter wheat crop of 1919
comes up to the present estimates,
S37, 900, 200 bushels will be pro-
duced. Congress guaranteed the
wheat farmers $2.26 per bushel
The value, therefore, will reach the
startling total of $1,S91,620, 900.
In the stress of war, the govern
ment offered this inducement to
the wheat farmers to stimulate pro-
duction. The farmers periodically
increased the wheat acreage and
the government should redeem it's
promise to them to the last far
thing. Every honest and conscien-
tious American citizen stands for
the fulfillment of these obligations
There can be no harm, however
in drawing comparisons. 1t is es-
timated that the government stands
to lose 81, O00,OOO.00O by it's wheat
price guarantee. The Agricultural
Department, the Federal agency
devoted to the interest of the farm
ers, will receive appropriation for
the coming year amounting to $751;
691,562.
The manufacturer has not been
forgotten, either. The Department
of Commerce, the Federal agency
that guards the interest of bust
ness, big and little, will secure an
appropriation of $25, 533,2O5.
But how about the Department of
Labor? The House Appropriations
Committee of the last Congress
gave that Department only $4,171,-
2t0. Out of this $2,815,55O is to
enforce the immigration and nat
uralization laws. Let us summar-
ize:

MUGS Of the dock The power Of
purchase given the council by vote
of the people is still good, I suppose.
7 hope the present agitation which
you have begun in favor of city man
agcment viii go on until the bonds
are sold and tho lease terminated.
AS soon as the Victory Bond sale
is completed il would be good time
for the city to undertake to popular
iZe "a local sale Of the bonds The
common people here have discovered
what can be done when they work
together Are there not enough
people i'm the city interested i'm this
enterprise who would be willing to
loan some of their savings to the city
ON bonds secured by city dock reve-
nues at six per cent interest? I be
liove there are. II Is worth trying,
anyway"
The suggestions of Mr.. Hassen
are worthy Of thoughtful considera-
ton.
All that is needed to accomplish
the taking over and operation of the
dock is the continuance of the agi-
tation.
Keep it alive.
The City commissioners have held
a conference with Captain Ramwell
to discuss ways and means of trans
ferring the city Dock to municipal
control. The Commissioners say a
board of arbitration will be select
ed to determine the amount of
money to be paid Captain Ramwell
for improvements made by him.
