About Water Rates.
We notice by the council proceed-
ings of Tuesday night that the city
council has still failed to offer any re-
lief to individuals who would be glad
to become patrons of the city's water-
works and get their supply of water
from that source, if conditions were
made right. Under the present plan,
users of water must first, be placed un-
der the tender care and protection of
the plumbers, before they can Ret wa
ter, at all. At the prices plumbers are
asking Tor their work, it will cost from
$30.1)0 to as high as you will want to po
for plumbing, even before the expense
of water begins Then the rates for
water for family use are fixed so high
that they are practically prohibitive.
For instance; the rate fixed for resi
deuces is six dollars a year, for a six
room house. This appears cheap
enough, but under the provisions of
the ordinance you are not permitted to
use the water for any other purpose.
\ou ure not even permitted to use a
pailful t3 scrub off the back porch, nor
to water a horse or cow—nor even
dog. If you have a bathtub, the charges
are $2.00 more. Then, in case you want
to take a pailfull out in the yard to wet
down flowers, or anything of that sort,
then the price is $4.50 additional. If
the street in front of the house become
dusty, and it would be agreeable to wet
it down with a hose, you are privileged
to do so, at an additional cost of 815.00.
laking in all these privileges, it may
be noticed that water conies pretty
high to the individual consumer, and
who would have water without the
privileges?
W.J. Hamilton, of this place, was at
Kingfisher, and while there inquired
into the cost of plumbing in that city.
There, he says, water is furnished from
mains to property lines adjoining at a
cost to the consumer of $7.50 against
$11 -50 to $20.00 here. This price in-
cludes the tapping of the main and all.
Here, the city bought a tapping ma-
chine at a cost of $125.00 of the peo-
ple's money, yet, when the people want
to use it, the council declares that it
can be used only by a licensed plumb-
er, who must pay $1.00 into the city
treasury for every tap. Further than
this, he is not restricted, and he can
charge whatever price he pleases for
his work.
These conditions have combined to
fix it so that nobody is taking water
and the plant is practically idle, except
that steam is kept up all the time for
use in case of lire.
W hat the council should do in this
matter is to popularize the prices for
getting water as much as possible. The
machinery is all in place and the same
help is employed ah would be if it were
running to its full capacity. The cost
of operating would not be more to the
city, if everybody who has property
along where the mains are laid, were
customers. Then why make the prices
for getting it so high that ihey are
practically prohibitive?
If the council would nee the water-
works plant grow and the plant become
a popular one in this city, they must
first fix rates so that the people can
stand it.

Jarreli, ,t Lows.
I he New York Evening Post con-
cludes a long editoral 011 the Kansas
trouble as follows : "A despot may en-
force whatever law lie ordains; a free
people enforces its own laws when they
are generally considered wise and just.
The laws against murder and burglary
and larceny are enforced becau«e near-
ly every one earnestly desires to have
them enforced. Laws prohibiting the
sale of drink are not enforced, because
a large minority, if not a majority, of
the people living in cities do not want
them enforced. Whether it is right in
the abstract to enact such laws, we do
not inquire; but for the interests of
temperance and purity of administra-
tion they have been inexpedient. The
violence of the Kansas crusaders will
prove to be a severe blow to the cause
of reform. It will embitter its foes
and disgust its friends. It will increase
lawlessness and disorder, and prevent
the reform of law by teaching the com-
munity that it may be disregarded at
the will of the mob."
