THAT GARBAGE ORDINANCE

CONSIDERABLE resentment seems
to be manifest among the people
of Winslow over the new ordinance
passed by city council last week re-
lative to the collection and disposal
of rubbish and refuse from back lots
and alleys of homes and business
houses. There always seems to be
opposition to ordinances prohibiting
anything, even an ordinance prohibit
ing certain unsanitary and unclean
conditions to prevail throughout the
city. The new ordinance is printed
in this issue of The Mail, page seven,
and contains full instructions as to
the disposition of garbage, how when
and why, and privileges accorded resi-
dents if they desire to achieve the re-
suits aimed at by the ordinance in
other ways than those suggested by
council. There are no arbitrary re-
must be kept clean and healthful. No
one is compelled to use the city con-
veyance to have trash hauled to the
regular dump ground. But they do
have to have fy-proof containers for
refuse, and they do have to have ref
use cleared away at least once a
week. They can haul it themselves
if they wish. The council meant but
kindly, when it provided ways and
means, at little expense, for the peo-
pie to comply with the provisions of
the law. Every city that is anything
more than a section station has a
similar health law. Every city, of
course, provides for the disposal of
garbage, but not all of them provide
a plan operated at cost for the con-
venience of residents.
1t is said that two women of the
town even went so far as to threaten
Inspector Cooper with guns when he
called to ask them if they wished to
accept the city's offer to sell garbage
cans at cost. Inspector Cooper is
spending the week making a complete
survey of the town, and to learn the
desires of the townspeople as to
whether they wish to provide receipt
acles or buy from the city, and
whether they desire to cart away their
own refuse or to avail themselves of
the city carrier.
Because people hastily condemned
the meritorious measure, Mayor Fred
B. Dougles has issued the following
statement:
"In connection with the garbage or
dinance just passed by the city coun-
Gil, and in effect October 1st, I wish
to say this is sanitary move in con-
formity with orders of the state board
of health.
"An effort of the city council to clean
the town up and keep it clean. hope
the opposition encountered so far will
be soon overcome and the people of
Winslow will cooperate with us in this
matter Also l am going to ask the
citizens if they will not please clean
up all the weeds in and around their
property in order to keep down the
fire menace Later these weeds

FULFILLS PROMISES

THE following from the Wahoo,
(Neb) Democrat of August %,
gives some idea of the extent which
Governor Charley Bryan of that state
lived up to his promises given, the
taxpayers previous to his election.
Estate taxes are now back to nor
malcy.' The state board of eduali-
zation and assessment in making the
state levy for 1924 fixed the general
fund levy at one and one-half mills
and the capitol fund levy (Which is
provided for by law at three-tenths
of one MILL making the total levy one
and eight-tenths mills.
1.-The assessed valuation of the state
is $3,1S4, 100000 and the general fund
levy will produce 1855, 1853, or total
of $5,732,179 for all state purposes.
This is the smallest amount of state
taxes raised since the years 1917-1S,
and if the capitol levy were excluded
from the 1924 total, the amount to be
raised is but slightly in excess of the
amount raised during either Of these
two years.
THE peak year for the state taxes
was in 1921, when the total ran up
to S1O,930,6O7. Here are the totals for
each of the past eight years

Street Lighting.

The Commissioners hold fast to
their plan for better lighting of Wash
ington streets, and have directed the
electrical engineer to prepare esti-
mates to carry out within the next
five years a comprehensive street
lighting program. The Commissioners
will ask in each book of estimates
during the next five years for pro-
portionate part Of the cost Of this
important work. The plan for which
the estimates are to be made provides
for the classification Of streets as
principal business streets, minor bust.
ness streets, main traffic highways,
minor traffic routes and boulevards,
and it would be sought to meet the
need Of each class of street. There
will be gradual replacement Of street
gas lamps by electric light.
The need for more light in the
streets at night has been told a thou
sand times. Many civic organizations,
perhaps all Of them, have resolved
that Washington's street lighting sys-
tenn is not up-to-date. Citizens com.
plain Of insufficient light in streets at
night, and many traffic accidents have
been charged to that cause. Strangers
comment that while we have a few
white ways" most Of the streets are
dim or dark. Electrical engineers in

Underwood and McAdoo.

Now for the real "scrap" between
Senator Underwood and William G..
McAdoo for delegates from the
southern states. Both southerners,
Mr.. McAdoo born in Marietta, Ca.
although now hailing from California,
and Senator Underwood. though born
in the border state Of Kentucky, long
identified with Alabama, each has car.
ried his own state as "favorite son."
Mr.. McAdoo's victory in the Georgia
primaries yesterday was as pro-
nounced as Senator Underwood's vic
tory in Alabama a week ago. Senator
Underwood picked up twenty.four del.
egates to the democratic national con.
vention, while Mr.. McAdoo gathered
in twenty-eight. So now they can
sally forth in the states that are yet
to hold primaries for the selection of
delegates and wage their campaign,
conscious Of having the Endorsement
of their respective states.
Yesterdays result in Georgia prob
ably must be especially gratifying to
Mr.. McAdoo in view Of the widespread
prophecies among democrats that he
would fail Of the nomination because
of the oil disclosures. He can now
point with pride" to the Endorsement
given him by his own people and
declare that they have faith in him,

The Y. w. C. A. Campaign.

There are two days left out Of the
weeks campaign by means Of which
the Young Women's Christian Asso
citation Of the District Of Columbia set
out to raise among its friends and
members the difference between its
expenditures and its income for the
ensuing year. The sum needed was
s33,74s. This budget difference is
but 10 per cent Of the whole sum
needed for the varied and valuable
activities maintained by this organi.
zation.
Already the campaign has resulted
in subscriptions totaling over $4,000.
To this can be added $4,000 accrued
interest, yet the further sum Of ap
proximately s16.500 should be in hand
or pledged by Saturday night in order
that the "Y. W." may face the en-
suing year with a clean slate.
The sort of benefits conferred on

Commissioners and Representatives Of
the railroad, and there was consider
able discussion Of protecting. or CIV
ing additional protection, to people at
the crossings. Certain warning de-
vices were set up at those crossings
which were called "unguarded" cross
ings-that is, crossings where there
were neither gates nor watchmen.
Installation Of the warning devices
was looked on only as a temporary
means of lessening danger at these
crossings, and did not, Of course, sat.
isfy the sentiment Of the people and
their authorities. The Commissioners
drafted a bill calling for the construc.
tion Of a bridge or viaduct at each Of
the crossings. 1t was estimated that
this would cost $5o0.oo0. and 1t was
provided that the railroad should bear
share of the expense. When the
bill was submitted to the bureau Of
the budget it was returned foT modi-
fication, and the revised bill will prob
ably be sent to the budget this week
Under the terms of the bill two grade
crossings will remain and three will
be eliminated by means Of bridge or
viaduct and half the expense will be
borne by the railroad company. Tn.
remaining crossings would be given
all the protection" that can be had
by means Of gates. fiagmen, bells and
lights.
This bill. though it does not meet
public wishes, should be pressed to en-.
actment with diligence, 1t is unsatis.
factory in that it does not provide for
the abolition of all the crossings 1t
was not long ago that these crossings
were far in the country, where there
were few people and little traffic. but

Grade Crossings Must 60.

By train. This Is ont % the remain.

observes April 90, the birthday of
J. Sterling Morton, as Arbor day.
Mr.. Mort ton was the originator Of the
plan for Arbor day. He was an orig
inal member Of the Nebraska terri
torial board Of agriculture and Of the
Territorial Horticultural Society, and
under the territorial government and
after Nehraska's admission to state
hood, in 1857, was one Of Nebraska's
prominent men. Many Washington.
ans came to know him well, when in
1888 he was appointed Secretary Of
Agriculture by President Cleveland.
In 1896 Nebraska. through its legis.
lature, chose for itself the mick.
name" Of Tree Planters state" The
Arbor day idea made an appeal to
the people OF other states, and Kansas
and Tennessee instituted such a day
In 1875 and Minnesota in 1876. Be.
tween 1880 and 1890 a day was set
apart in many states as Arbor day,
and 1t was established in the District
In 1919.
Perhaps the first man to call gen.

forest destruction in the United States
was George p. Marsh, an eminent
scholar. who treated Of the matter in

lished in 1864. Birdseye G. North,
secretary Of the Connecticut board of
education in 1865, suggested that
states should supervise the planting
Of trees at the proper time each year.
1t was in 1885 that Nebraska named
April %, Mr.. Morton's birthday, as
Arbor day and made it a legal state
holiday.

More Foreign Shipping Agony.

There Is no occasion for surprise
that British and japanese shipping in
terests are perturbed over the decision
Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in favor of preferential rail-
road rates for goods carried in Amer.
lean bottoms. Anything at all looking
to upbuilding Of the American mer-
chant marine is bound to perturb
British and Japanese and other foreign
shipping interests. They are perturbed
by the fact that we have a merchant
marine at all. 1t is true that when
we We're spending three billion dollars
to build our merchant ships Britain
and allied nations hailed it as great
and glorious undertaking. But they
needed the ships then to help them
win the war. Now that the war is
over, it seems to be the opinion of
our friends that we should take our
three billion dollars worth of ships
out to sea and scuttle them. Because
we have not seen fit to make this
gigantic sacrifice in the cause of in
ternational good will we are selfish,
grasping nation.
Every imaginable sort Of weapon
has been used by foreign shipping
interests to discourage American ship
ping, even to propa ganda which has
led many Of our own people to believe
that something has happened to Amer
leans OF this generation which makes
them incompetent to operate ships,
and that, such being the case. it would
be the part of wisdom to intrust our
foreign commerce wholly to the more
or less tender mercies of our CONNER
cial rivals. On top of this hocus-
pocus now comes the threat of re-
taliation If we dare adjust our railroad
rates to give American ships a share
of American business.
But on this point our friends are
overreaching themselves a bit. The
proposal Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission Is that reductions in
freight rates under the preferential
plan Shall come out of the revenues
Of the railroads and shall in no way
affect ocean carrying charges. The
u41nS OF 1nternal railroad rates IS
purely a domestic question and is not
affected by the treaty of commerce
and navigation or any other interna-
tional agreement. And when it comes
to retaliation, we should worry! If
other nations want to set out upon
such a venture, in the present state
Of the world, we feel quite capable of
looking after our own.
