LOADED REVOLVER N
COMMITTEE ROOM
Director of Public Safety Is Outyotcd
on Auto Parking Ordinance.

BY a vote Of 5 to 4. and after one
OF tho stormiest fights ever witnessed
IN the committee room, the ordinance
committee last recommended to the
common council for adoption a resolu-
tIon amending the ordinance govern
ing parking spaces for for hire cars
In the city.
Colonel Myers, director of public
safety, launched a bitter attack against
the measure and informed the com
mittee that it was passing the resolu-
ton against the vehement protest
OF every officer of the city govern
ment whose duty it is to enforce the
law. including Mayor George Ainslie."
The director said. This element
which has flown the red flag in the
departments face has boasted tina it
controlled a majority of the ordinance
committee and has de1ed the police
department. saying they would have
n ordinance satisfactorily amend
ed. The vote on the amendment
wast Ayes-English, Grimes, Morton,
Gunst. Nunnally. Noes-Ladd. Roden,
Fuller, Winfree.
Colonel Myers said the labor press
had attacked him for his stand on the
matter and labeled the assertion that
the director of public safety had used
his power to discriminate against any
one class of people as The most
damnable n contemplate piece OF
propaganda ever gotten out" He also
paid his respects to many of the
chaufeurs operating the "for hire"
cars,
A number of car-owners and driv-
ers appeared at the meeting, repre-
stnted by Attorney Jesse B. Duke.
After the matter had been voted on,
the spectators filed out On a bench

four OF the visitors their CLEANED a

to the identity of it's owner, u no
ono seemed to know who the occu-
pants of the bench were. The gentle
men supporting the resolution could
rot be positively identified. as they
did not proclaim themselves. They
came in silently. silently sat. and
silently went away. In the excitement

ton. the owner Of the "gat" slipped

mar Gunst expressed the belief that
the resolution abolished this evil and
at the same time protected the legiti-
mate business men who were engaged
in this business.
. Alderman Guns was forced to re-
store order at n juncture when the
argument waxed too hot. Joe Wig

agency, testified that only one of his
men had ever been arrested and al
legged that he had been the victim

money on the sale of spurious liquors.
In fact. the s~aloonists say they cannot
operate on the sale OF beer alone.
Profit is too small TO meet the great
overhead Therefore the
brewers were rejoicing over a situa-
ton that would kill the saloon bust
ness. Now tney are calling upon the
saloonists 10 help them in their time
OF trouble but If their contention is
sustained and ITS per cent beer is
legalized but whiskey sales are not
permitted 1t will mean the death OF
the saloon business. This brew le-
gally recognized as a n~on-intoxicant
could be sold at sodawater fountains
and candy stores. ice cream parlors,
and could also be sold to all corners
including little children"
And Mr.. Bonner adds that ais per
cent beer is intoxicating and his sa-
ioonkeeper following agree with him.
Here is expert testimony. these fell
lows who have been selling the stuff
ought to know. They have had OPP
portunity to study its effects. They
are SO positive In their assertion that
it is announced that the department
of Justice is likely to call upon them
as witnesses In the asses the depart
ment Is bringing against the brewers
for violation of the war prohibition
act in the manufacture and sale OF
this brew.
But II the saioonkeepers have a case
against the brewers the people have
a case against 10Th of them and
against the whole liquor fraternity.
This little civil war within the liquor
camp will work for the public benefit.

Is not so much the high cost Of liv-

Some one remarked very saEely that
If all the wealth of the rich were
equally distributed among those who
have little or nothing. the rich would
soon nav II back again and the other
class would be in the same position as
before the division was made. This
is the natural consequence becaus a

savings and would no doubt continue
TO recognize the necessity Of saving.
