VETO ORDINANCE
REPEATING RATE
ON CITY WATER
Mayor Uses Official Axe On ordi
nance Setting Aside Cheap Wa
ter During Summer to Water
Trees and Lawns.

Mayor Durbin has vetoed ordin-
ance No. 691 which would repeal
ordinance No. 575 and would with.
draw the special water rate which
has been given during summer
months to those who maintain lawns,
parking and trees. The notice of
veto was read to the council in
session last nigth in the City Hall
1.-TWO reasons have been suggested
to justify the repeal OF the ordin
nance in force" said Mayor Durbin
1T has been said that the filters
at the water plant are not adequate
and that, for this reason, people
should not be encouraged to use
water to keep up lawns, parkings
aud trees. ! am convinced that dur
ing dry weather when water is
needed upon lawns, our filters and
equipment are adequate and that
instead of discouraging the use OF
later TO preserve grass, trees and
flowers, it's use for this purpose
should be encouraged.
The other reason assigned for a
withdrawal OF the special rate is
hat the city is urgently in need of
additional revenue in order that inn
provements may be made in the
water works plant. | admit that this
argument has weight. However,
seriously doubt whether the addi
tional revenue that would be obtain
ed if the special rate should be
withdrawn would be very great.
Let us bear in mind, If we have
not done, so that the consumer must
pay for his normal consumption OF
water before he may obtain the
benefit of the SPECIAL rate.
"This council has co-operated in
d splendid manner with those who
are seeking to rid their trees of bag
worms. Let us not take the chance
of discouragng those who are try
ing to preserve and beautiiy their
lawns, parkings and trees. ! hope
that you may see fit to reconsider
your action; if not, with the view
that | hold, / must veto the pro
posed ordinance says the mayors
of veto to the council.
Ordinance No 691, which has been
vetoed by the mayor, was passed by
the city council two weeks ago.

The Keynote Speech.

BY United Press,
Chicago. July 10.-Allen McCurdy
New York City temporary chair
man of the committee of AS" ma
tional convention in his keynote
speech today proposed as a plat
form to abolish economic privil
ege'
Dilating ON that phrase, McCurdy
said host of reforms would fol
low the victory Of a party fighting
for that adjustment.
McCurdy prefaced his assertion
of the necessity for third party
with the statement that the com
mittee of As believes in the two
party system; that the two parties
now in existence really are bu
"the right and left wing of the
same bird of prey"
The Democratic and Republicans
parties, he said, conceal under
these names an unyieiding opposi
tion to tho popular will. That
they arc of the same stock is prov
en-, he said by the fact that they
consolidate when the people, as in
North Dakota, unite in their own
behalf
Failure will strike a severe blow
at generation already twice di
appointed, once by the collapse
the progressive party and again by
the iucomprehensible contradiction
between the words and the deeds
of the present administration he
declared.
The platform of the two old par
ties might have been written by a
convention of corporation lawyers
and Wall street bankers, McCurdy
said and added:
"Over the trail of these national
failures is to be drawn the red
herring of international relations
This is an ancient trick of reaction
If it succeeds in 1920 the Amer
lean people will discover too late
that they have assumed the posi-
tion of a man gazing lntently a
the moon that the pickpOcket may
more easily relieve him of his
possessions. How dare we permit
foreign relations to dominate this
campaign? Exploited ourselves.
shall we give the power to exploit
other peoples to our own exploit
ors?
"The Republican bid is bold. 1t
reads out of its councils every
man and woman who ever stood
for any form of human rights,
adopts platform that evades,
equivocates and straddles every liv-
ing issue ;paVes the way for the
people. Mexican oil shall be deliv-
cred to the interests; endorses the
famous Esch-Cummins bill over the
protests of farmers, workers and
informed people.
"The Democratic bid is more bold,
it is brazen: it not only claims a
partisan credit which belongs to
the whole nation, for fighting and
winning the war, but it declares it

war without the faint of scandal

Natures Methods.

Natures methods, we say, are
blind, haphaZard; the wind blows
where it lsteth, and the seeds fall
where the winds and waters carry
them: the frosts blight this section
and spare not; the ms flood the
country in the West i the drought
burns up vegetation In the East. And
yet we survive and prosper. Nature
averages up well. We see nothing
like purpose or will in her total
scheme Of things, yet inside her hit
and-miss methods, her storms and tor
nadoes and earthquakes and distem-
pers. we see a Fundamental! benefac-
ton. If it Is not goodwill, it amounts
to the same thing. Our fathers saw
special provldences, but we see only
Interchangeable laws. Nature has no
art, no architecture no music. Her
temples. as the poets tell u.s. are the
woods, her harps the branches of the
trees, her MINISTRIES the birds and in
sects, her gardens the fields and way
sides-all safe comparisons for pur-
poses Of literature, but not for pur-
poses of science.-John Burroughs in
the Atlantic Monthly.
