racks when Colonel Ericsson wisely
and mercifully called a halt to the
punishment being handed out to
the Mohawk Imiddleweight by Jack
Turner, of California.
A big house gathered in the
hopes of seeing Jumbo Eggleston
battle Turner and there was some
disappointment shown at the an.
nouncement that Jumbo, q popular
lad in Washington, had fractured
rib in training. Rib or no rib,
Jumbo was m h in evidence
around the ring, acting as a second
for Stovall, his club-mate.
Stovall opened up in fine style,
doing all the leading and counting
frequently. Turner remained on
the defensive for two rounds. con
tenting himself with feeling out his
rival. The third round saw every.
thing reversed, Turner taking the
lead and covering Stovall with left
and right hooks to the head and
face. Before the bell in that third
session Stovall was In bad shape
from the bonnbardment.
Seeming quick victory, Turner
hoped right out with the bell fol
the fourth round and resumed his
punishment Of Stovall. Finally q
solid wallop dropped Stovall for a
count of nine. He staggered ganely
to his feet, but was being slaugh.

man in the ring, ended the affair
giving Turner the victory.

He opines that Firpo. IL he had

ZONE Bill: WYNOOCHE POWER
BY A. EMERSON CROSS, CITY ATTORNEY

IN my first article discussed a por-
tion Of Section l of the Bone Power
bill. known as Initiative No. 2.
showed that the first section au-
thorizing cities to sell electric energy
outside Of the city limits was vital
70 the development Of the Wynooche
Power Project to its fullest extent.
The power it gives the city to sell
current outside the city limits enables
It to extend the benefit of the devel-
opment to all of the people Of Grays
Harbor county.
In this article I desire to discuss
the remaining provision Of Section l,
prohibiting the legislature from i'm
posing any tax on account Of such
sale.
The benefits Of municipal ownership
can be destroyed by taxation.
The foundation principle upon
which municipal ownership rests is

service at cost and not for profit.
If the Legislature, with the insidious
influences at work, can stiIl tax NUM-
cipally owned utilities, It can impose
such burden upon them as to enable
the private utility to maintain their
high rates.
Under existing Law city plants are
now exempt from taxation. This is
unfair 20 the rural communities and
farming district Of the state, as their
taxes are indirectly increased there
by.
The benefits Of municipal owner
ship to the rural districts and farm
ing communities tends to equalize
and equitably distribute the exemption
from taxation throughout the state.
If the city can enjoy municipal
plants free from taxation, it is only
right that this exemption from taxa
ton should be enjoyed, for similar
benefits, by the farmer as well as the
resident of the city.
By this exemption from taxation
Of electric energy the location of the
plant generating the power becomes
immaterial. The farming commune
ties and rural districts of the state
then have as much direct interest in
the Skagit as the people of Seattle.
The residents of the rural commu-
mites of the state then have as much
interest in the Cushman and Nisqual-
ly plants as the people of Tacoma.
This will likewise be true as to the
Wynooche project and other major
developments that may be construct
ed in the future.
All churches of the state are ex-
empt from taxation. The city church
and country church alike. If the city
church was only exempt it would be
unfair to the community church to
pay taxes.
Now, city plants are exempt from
taxation. It would be unfair to ex-
tend the benefits of municipal owner
ship to the rural and farming dis
tricts and compel them to pay taxes.
This bill automatically exempts
he consumer of power in the rural
and farming districts the same as is
now enjoyed in city. AS long as
everyone is exempt there is an
equality of exemption.

PARALYSIS IS
|. SAID TO Be DECREASING

SEATTLE, Oct. 9.-The policy Of
the State Department of Health is
generally against the closing Of the
schools as preventative against
infantile paralysis, according to DR..
Paul A. Turner, director of the de-
partment. It is believed that the peak
Of the disease was reached more than
a week ago, and with the arrival of
the rainy season the epidemic viii die
out.
"Only very exceptional conditions
make it seem advisable to the depart
ment to close any schools" DIR. Turner
said. sit is much easier to control
an epidemic with the children in
school than out.
each morning, when the children
reach school, when the schools are
maintained during an epidemic, each
child should be thoroughly inspected
by nurse or doctor to detect any in
dispositions. In case the nurse or
doctor is not available, the teacher
should be instructed to make the
necessary examinations. Where any
indisposition is found the child is
sent home, until the case can be dag
nosed by doctor"
With school inspection, all early
cases of the disease can be detected,
the children are isolated in their own
homes, properly treated, and the dis
ease is held in control, DR.. Turner
stated.
If the schools are closed, however,
in order to effectively check the dis
ease, every child should be kept

District, La Toilette Wheeler Ticket
Born at Thorp, Clark county, Wis
consin, March 8, 1880.
Raised on farm until he was 81.
Graduated from the common school
at IA, and worked on the farm for
three years after that, when he en-
tered high school, finishing 3 three
year course in two years.
Took a business course of one year
at Williams Business college at Osh-
kosh, Wis.
Came West in 1906 and landed in
Seattle, where he worked for three
months in an abstract office.
In the winter of 1907 he was en-
ployed in the Office of the Grays
Harbor Commercial Co., at Cosmopo-
lis, Wash, but being ambitious, he
accepted employment in a law office
at Montesano, Washington. He was
admitted to the bar in October, 1908,
and has been practicing law in Mon
tesano, Washington, ever since.
He has held the Office of city at
torney of Montesano, and deputy
prosecuting attorney for Grays Har-
Dor county.
While in Wisconsin he took part in
the progressive movement, and was
an ardent supporter of Robt. M. La
Toilette and his principles. He stands
squarely on every issue Of the pro-
gressive party platform. Il
He comes well recommended from
the community where he resides and
has always been found on the side
of right. He believes in the square
deal for all.
He owns his own home in this dis
trict. He is absolutely sober.
He married in 1915 and has three
boys.
He is a self-made man with lots
of common sense, good judgment and
will stand for what is right against
the onslaughts of special privilege
seeking interest.
While living at Montesano, he ran
for state senator against H. B. Hew-
lit and Jimmie Hood, two conserva-
tives, and forced them to accept pro-
gressive issues which their support
ers thought Mr.. Nelson too radical
to support. However, he has never
departed from the progressive
course and the silver lining seems to
be in the clouds this year as he has
the best chance Of being the next con-
gresham from this district.
Mr.. Nelson's name viii be found
in the same column that contains the
electors on the La Follette-W Wheeler
ticket.
If the ballots be paper, or If the
machine is used, be certain to scan
the list and vote for o. M. Nelson.
Senator La Toilette and the pro-
gressive bloc need such men in con-
gress as o. M. Nelson and with this
thought in view, Nelson's name was
permitted to go upon the ballot with
the fiery Bob.
