A REBUKE

1t was proper and we'll merited
rebuke the house of representatives
administered to Governor Hyde
when they rejected his new county
unit bill by vote OF IS to 43. The
affrontery OF the governor in attempt
ing to repass this bill in the face OF
the fact that more than eighty-five
thousand Missourians had legally Pc
titioned to submit it to referendum
is astounding.
1t is nothing more nor less than an
impudent and inexcusable attempt
to deny the people of the state their
constitutional rights to pass on leg
islation, and the house did we'll to
have nothing to do with it.
The referendum petitions on the
county unit bill were signed by con-
scientious men and women who had
the best interests of the schools of
the state at heart and who felt that
it was a menace to the schools rath-
er than a benefit
Hyde's attempt to override the ref
erendum or this bill and his gratui-
tiously insulting language regarding
those who signed the referendum pc
titions do not in any way add to his
stature as a statesman.

The Republican newspapers are
giving lot of publicity to the action
of the state senate in passing the
Bowker bill to reduce the state in
come tax. The fact of the business
is the senate did not pass the Bowker
bill which provided for a reduction
of the state income tax to ene-half
.of one per cent, but blocked the
Bowker bill and engrossed a commit
tee substitute placing the income tax
at one-half of one per cent for the
last half of this year and one per
cent year beginning January 1, 1922.

low in. order not to burn the cakes.
All were surprised when ne placed
newspaper in an aluminium kettle
and placed i on the stove dry and A.
gan to smoke, then to everyone's,
horror he dashed cold water into the
kettle, but the kettle showed no ef-
fects of the rough treatment. Many
other delightful tests were shown
which can only be appreciated BY At

LOCAL LAUNDRY
PRICES LOWER
Investigation Shows Prices Pensacola
Laundries Uniform and Lower
Than Other Cities.

| IN the general decline Of prices
there has been feeling on the part
!of the public that laundry service
prices should be reduced also.
In that period when the price of
other commodities were increasing the
laundry owner along with the pro-
ducers of other commodities and serv-
ices was confronted with the Necessity
of increasing his sales price. 1t IS
however well known fact that laun-
dry prices did not increase as often
or as rapidly as was the case in other
| lines, Consequently they did not reach
that maximum peak in price that had
been attained by many other COM
| modities and services.
This matter has been given serious
| thought by w. c. Mackey, manager of
one of the local laundries, who on be-
| ing approached on the matter showed
the following letter:
pensacola, Fla. August 20, 1921.
Mr.. w. G. Mackey. Manager.
Empire aundry,
Dear Sir:
| Referring to conversation with you
some time ago with reference to prices
being charged by the laundries of PEN
sacola, at your suggestion have writ
ten several of the laundries in the
cities Of Jacksonville, Mobile. Mont
gomery and New Orleans, and have
before me lists from each of these
laundries.
Upon investigation I find that the
prices charged in Pensacola are in
line with prices charged in these
cities. With one single exception the
prices of collars and shirts are identi-
cal. and in that case shirts are II 1-2
as against Is cents by the Pensacola
laundries.
Il also find that your price on bed
spreads is much under prices in these
cities. and also that your general
linen list is in almost every case one
or two cents lower, and this is the
case with all the laundries in Pensa-
cola, as find that the prices here arc
practically uniform. The Pensacola
prices on underwear, especially that
Of men, are lower.
after this investigation / am sat
tsfied that the prices charged by the
Pensacola laundries are not excessive
as compared to those charged in our
neighboring cities
with best wishes, I am,
Sincerely yours.
JOHN P. MOORE"
Commenting on this Mr.. Mackey
said: IF the demand for lower prices
on the part Of the public is compiled
with, then 1t will become necessary
to cut expenses by cutting wages,
thereby securing cheaper help which
will necessarily lower our standard
of work and service to our patrons.
When we raised prices we raised our
labor up to where they can make a
living and we would like to keep our
salaries equal to that paid in other
industries for in this way our help
is better satisfied, more efficient and
with which we can turn out a better
class of work for our patrons and
give them a better class of service.

devil and the deep blue sea-"
