Representatives of other COM
munities which will be benefited
by the project. viii meet with resi-
dents of Tacoma at the University
Union club Monday night to or
ganize an association to sponsor
construction of the Naches high

City SlOO a Day
Give Up All Hope
On New Franchise

The city fathers officially gave
up hope Of arriving at agreement
with the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph Co. on a new franchise
agreement Monday by receiving
an ordinance to assess the COM
pany a fiat 500 a day for use Of
the streets.
That fee. which represents a
proposed compromise between city
and telephone company opinions Of
what should be paid. still met op-
position of the only p. T. & T. Of
fetal present when it was read.
District Manager Leo j.
Conlin didn't either state or
hint that the company would
pay under protest, as was sug-
gested week ago when city
council mefbers proposed a
SIPS daily charge, but he did
declare the fee unreasonable.
The ordinance directs payment
OF the fee on the first Of each
month with the alternative of re-
moving company properties from
the street. The charge would go
into effect as soon as the ordi-
nance is passed. Up TO that time,
the company would pay the two
per cent Of the old franchise.
which expired last Dec. 20.
Since that day the company has
been operating in Tacoma without
a franchise. a fact of which the
new ordinance takes cognizance.
The ordinance provides that it Will
become null and void whenever a
long-term agreement is reached.
Conlin appeared before the
council To thank its members
publicly. for their courtesy
during the long and futile ne
gotiations for a franchise, to
reiterate his desire to have a
lOng-term contract such as
the company has operated I'M
der here for ~ years and TO
protest that company earn
ings here do not Justify the
fee the city has set.
Company men had indicated
they would accept a S92O1 fee. as
the Tacoma equivalent of the 1925
per day fee in Spokane in proper
ton TO revenues of the two cities.

situation worse than that which
existed during the old saloon days.
Answering the arguments
that repeal Of prohibition
would eliminate the bootlegger
and speakeaSy. crime would
he diminished. economic con-
ditions improved and temper
ance promoted. the speaker
cited the following:
l. Last Mondays papers told
Of seven shot and four dead in a
speakeasy. And while the police,
the prosecuting attorney, and the
state liquor board each tried n
pass the buck Of responsibility to
the other. it developed that there
are 400 known speakeasies in
Seattle, and that racket Of
license by fine has been de-
veloped.
The bootlegger and speakeasy
definitely have not been elimi-
mated
2. If the beer parlor and tavern
are not saloons. they are its
equivalent. or worse.
;. One months record
shows II deaths attributable TO
liquor on the highway OF the
state. When the economic
loss from death and injuries
on the highway and in
drunken brawls are taken into
account. no economic benefit
can be found.
4. Federal and state reports
show crime has increased.
5. There is no one so naive
as to believe that temperance has
been promoted in the past eight
years. No single one Of the
promises made to US has been full
filled.
As the first step in a program
to correct an exceedingly bad
situation, the speaker suggested:
!. stop the advertising.
COncede that certain indivi-
duals crave liquor and must
have 1t. You meet their need
when the liquor store makes
1t available. Then why per-
NIT advertising aimed TO
"popularize" what any think
ing individual knows does
much more harm than good.
2. Tell youth the truth. From
the air. the bill boards. almost
every magazine and newspaper
comes the suggestion that the use
Of liquor is smart and helpful and
beneficial. See that our young
people know the truth about its
effect and its social cost.
