INTRODUCTION
IF HAMIL TON
TESTIMONY
OPPOSED
Argument Wakes Warm as
Attorneys WTangIe
Over Issue.

Wrangling over the admission OF q
statement in which the defense alleges
W. K. Red" Hamilton assumed re-
Sponsibilty for the shooting OF Tom
Cooper. brought further delay in tina
trial Of Ed Knight, former deputy
Sshrrff in Thirty-scvcnth District
court Monday. Hamilton and knight
were indicted Jointly for the killing
and Hamilton was granted a new trial
after he had been convicted and given
Il life sentence.
Attempts to introduce the statements
brought objections from District At
tormoy c. VI. Chambers and the entire
morning session of court was con-
sumcd in arguments on the question.
When court recessed at noon Special
Judge o. NJ. Fitzhugh had not given
his ruling.
The jury was removed during the
arguments which were punctuated by
frequent tilts between states and de-
Tense attorneys.
STATE SCORES
Presentation or character witness.
es TO show that Knight, on the af.
ternoOn Of the killing, had been de-
tailed by Sheriff Jim Stevens to con-
tiscatc punch boards, was the first
move Of the defense Saturday after
noon, when the state closed its di-
rect testimony. What bearing this
will have on the shooting of Tom
Cooper the defense had not disclosed.
The state, just before closing. how
ever, had scored heavily with the
testimony Of Jess Billings. who tes-
titled that he had seen knight draw
"a pistol and fire toward the ceiling.
\ few second after he had fled from
the room, Billings testified, he heard
several other shots and immediately
w. L. Red" Hamilton had rushed
out.
COOPER UNARNIED
At trial Of Hamilton, Hamilton
had testified he fired the shot which
struck Cooper.
Other testimony was introduced by
the state tending to show that Cooper
was unarmed on the night Of the kill
ing and further that men in the room
had run their hands down his
sides, as if to ascertain if he had
gun.
Cooper was killed at a soft drink
stand on Apache street on the night
of January II, 1925. Knight and W.
Il. Red" Hamilton were indicted for
the killing. Hamilton has been tried
and given a life sentence but was
granted a new trial by Judge VIII
liam 5. Andersen.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
AND COST QUESTION
DIR. G. F. MEssER

The way some people are frighten-
ed on the question Of public owner
ship costs reminds as Of Mr.. Dooley
and new cash register. Dooley had q
new cash register and was anxious to
use it. On the first day Of in action
the first customer rendered q S5 bill
on q S5c purchase. Dooley rang up
30 at once, and gave the customer his
S4.66. The next customer handed over
q so bill to pay sl.lO. Dooley punch
ed $40 on the register and gave the
customer $500. And so It went all
day.
On checking up at night the machine
showed there ought to be $456 cash in
the drawer. The actual sum was $50.
"Terrance," says Dooley to the
clerk, have yez taken any money out
av the cash machine today?"
Sure" says Torrance, 81 took me
carfare home as ye towld me-"
"And where are yea livin' now, in
Australia ?" asks Dooley.
That kind of logic is the usual thing
In calculating costs, as per corpora
ton propaganda, to scare citizens
away from the municipal ownership
idea.
We hive had Several most able
and highly successful engineers to
estimate costs for Aberdeen on the
Wynooche project, and among them
Mr.. Stannard and Mr.. Torpen, both
able, experienced and well-qualified
engineers, and whose estimates are re-
liable and whose estimates we can
rest assured are safe and sound.
When they say thing can be done
within certain estimates of cost, their
records in actual work done show
they know what they are doing and
their calculations have proven safe
guides in costs and bond issues.
The people of Aberdeen, by votes,
twice have signified their determine
tion to own and develop the Wynooche.
Actual experience and reliable esti-
mates have shown it can be done and
not impose any further tax burdens
and that the utility can actually pay
its own way. Now is the time to be-

fathers have acquired cold feet, or

The autocracy which machinery has
made possible is apparent without
much searching. The spider in his
web is no more the master Of the
entrapped fly than is the unlimited
monarch who sits at the heart of the
net Of machinery demanding output
and to the devil with the human ma
chine tenders.
OF course, the best answer of today
is the trade union. 1t is and has been
the great barrier to unlimited author
ity and unlimited oppression.
But trade unionism can not, in the
very nature of things, answer the
whole question, until it comes into co
operation with other agencies. This
IL proclaimed its desire to do in it's
great Portland declaration against
that which Mr. Garrett now so whole

ago. IN canvassing the various mer-
chants Of the city, ! find that my
visit to Aberdeen was Unnecessary, .
said Mr.. Esterhrook. He said that
efforts Of organized labor Of Grays
Harbor have practically eliminated
the sale Of Cohen cigars in this COM
munity. He expressed his apprecia-
ton for their support.
During the course Of conversa-
tion with Mr.. Cohen sometime ago,
he tried to impress me as being 4
good business man and "hard-boiled.
But before the conversation ended he
proved to my own satisfaction that
he was neither 'shard -hoiIed" nor a
good business man. The fact that he
declared for an open shop and re-
duced his working force from twenty
to five men Give only working part
time) and reduced the sale Of his pro-
ducts in various communities, is evil
dence that he is not a good business
man, said EsteEb6ook. And we sur
missed from Mr.. Esterbrook's talk that
often Cohen refused to demonstrate
his pugilistic ability. He pointed out
that the Cohen factory was run on
Seattle capital, and that Cohen would
naintain.an open shop as long as the
capital lasted -

Q--What is now the purchasing
power Of the doIIar7
A.-The dollar started the year 1925
with purchasing power Of Ga cents,
compared with the year 1918 when the
dollar is accepted arbitrarily as hav-
ing. purchasing power Of 100 cents.
This reckoning is based on the pur-
chasing power of the dollar in whole
sale markets throughout the country.
When it is said that the dollar has a
purchasing power Of 64 cents, the un-
derstanding is that what 100 cents
will buy now it would have taken only
64 cents to purchase in 1913
