 crate not at loss but at a profit while the local department runs behind on the average of $160,000 yearly. Nationally known water rate experts claim that this is noth- ing short of mismanagement of one of the city's largest department and asserts that by rearranging the rates so that those who use water will be charged reasonable rate, the net increase to the individual taxpayer will be negligible but enough. nevertheless, to eliminate the deficit.
 Mayor Hayes, when asked if the city proposes to operate its water department, through the new rates, in manner to produce profit said: "Emphatically no. We seek no profit. All we want is to have the department self-sustaining so funds from general taxation will not have to be conscripted to pay the loss under which the water bureau is operating.
 ssWe will not follow the lead of privatey owned companies whose chief aim is profit. We are not seeking gain. We mercy prefer to give the consumer his water at a rate honest to himself and to the city. To charge. him under the present system for water in one bill and to deduct more from his general taxes to meet the water de- pertinent loss is camouf1age."
 Another gross injustice was pointed out by city officials in the present set-up of water rates. s'Take the Hotel Elton," he ex- plained. Ut has it's own private water supply and the use of the city water by the corporation is negligible. Yet one mill and half it pays into the city treasury for property tax is applied to meet the water departments operating loss. Certainly such situation is one not to be proud of. There are countless evidences of similar un- fairness which the revised sched- qlle would remedy"
 The finance board will begin the study of the 1884 budget this week and at that time the nature of thi rate charges will be more definitely known.

ROOSEVELTS TO USE
GIRL SCOUTS TREE
6-Foot Fir Chopped by New
Hampshire Troop Chosen
for Family.

The 6-foot fir tree that New Hamp-
shire Girl Scouts chopped down with
their own ayes is the one that will be
gift-laden in the White House family
quarters.
The 2O-foot tree that the New York
State conservation commissioner cut
and sent to the President will be pref
tily tinseled for public display in the
east room.
The choice was purely matter OF
size. The New York tree lent itself to
east room grandeur. the New Hampshire
one to upstairs intimacy.
Flown by airplane from Portland, Me,
to the Capital the tree arrived today
and was presented by local Girl Scouts.
The tag from its choppers says:

When asked by reporters at her press
conference if she had anything to say
about 18 States out of the necessary SO
having ratified the child labor amend
ment, Mrs. Roosevelt said:
Il wish the child labor amendment
would be pushed. People think because
it is in the code it need go no further.
I look upon the codes as a method of
pointing out possibilities but there is a
termination to them. What we want
perpetuated must be done through leg
islation.''

stock seized by an Iowa sheriff

livestock to Price Miller which
had been taken from his farm by
Sheriff John Hattery on an ae-

of rent.
The sh eriff said the farmers
were peaceable enough after the
cattle had been returned from the
Hans Anderson farm to the Miller
farm.
Sheriff Arthur Bostock of Van

county commissioners and the Red
Cross are always refusing to get
relief On the grounds that the
"need" is not extreme enough yet.
One farmer told the chairmen of
having gone to town to get some
free Red Cross flour. He hauled
some out to his neighbors. The
cost of hauling came to about Is
cents hundred. When he tried
to collect these necessary ex-
penses when delivering the flour,
many of his neighbors told him
that they did not have cent in
the house so they would not be
able to get the flour. He left the
flour anyway. This shows the
real conditions in Williams coun-
ty. They are the conditions that
the County commissioners never
seem to be able to find.

Socialists See Simpson as Advanced" Leader

The Socialist party is almost
ready to adopt John Simpson, the
president of the Farmers Union.
In November, 1881, Mr.. Simp-
son delivered a speech at the
Farmers Union convention in Des
Moines. This speech told of the
wonders of Farmers Union mar
keting, and of the difference be-
tween capitalist and a "coopera-
tive" system. He used the Bible
to substantiate his point, and de-
nounced capitalism vigorously.
Despite these nice words Mr..
Simpson saw no better way aof
helping the farmers during 1892
than to go around campaigning for
Roosevelt the Democratic candi-
date for Wall Street. He hleped
Roosevelt to mislead the American
farmers.
And now the Socialist party, the
left" wing of the Wall Street
political machine, finds that Simp-
son is coming along all right.

MILO RENO COMES

Plan to Fool Farmers
Again

Milo Reno, betrayer of the
Sioux City milk strike of last sum-
mer, is trying to maintain his role
of farm "leader" by promising the
farmers another strike and a new
political party.
Speaking recently at a meeting
in Red COAX, Iowa, the $4,000 a
year self-appointed president of
the National Farm Holiday asso-
citation tried to pave the way for
a new progressive" party by tell
ing the farmers that the Roose-
welt administration might not
grant them relief.
eff the Democrats don't make
good, then the farmers will have a
party of their own" said Reno.
ANOTHER RENO STRIKE"
Reno also said that thousands
of farmers would be ready to
strike if they were not granted re-
lief. In numerous instances in
Iowa, Mr.. RenO's stamping ground
the farmers have come out in
struggle against evictions and
foreclosures, but Mr.. Reno has not
been there. Just as in the Sioux
City milk strike, Reno is trying
to capitalize the mass action of
the farmers by keeping his snout
in the feed bags of the bankers.
You'll never find Reno on the
picket line or stopping a sheriff
from evicting a poor farmer.

which campaign was attributed to

Mr.. Bennett calls our farmers
committee. l was taken some
what by surprise for its the first
time that 1 heard that any such
rumors were going around until
read it in a letter to you, a copy
of which I read in the Central
committee office.
There seems to be a great re-
sentiment on the part of the ma
jority of the members of the cen
trail committee to our farmer com
mittee taking up emergency cases
and presenting them to the com
mittee for immediate relief.
Another grievance farmers have
expressed is that there is only one
farmer representative where there
should at least be three or four,
for this one farmer member lives
out in the country 20 miles with
only the mail as a medium to
notify him, therefore he can only
be there once a week, and if snow
should get deep, once or twice per
month and will have to use horses.

resentatives could have the true

poor families in Sheridan county

After meeting for one day on

Since that time the situation of

not sure what relief could be given
to the diary farmers.
