A GOOD JOKE
On the Property-Owners and Merchants
and Business Mem who Pay
Their Taxes.
How They and the FIremen and the
Policemen and the LabOrers were
Made TO Sweat.

This is the way the bond and scrip brok-
ers and the defaulting taxpayers together
used to perfect their little combinations un-
der the old city government:
The property-owner would refuse to pay
taxes and stand the city off,
The result of which was yearly deficit in
the tax receipts.
This deficit was made up for with scrip
issued to the poor employees Of the city.
The poor employees living by their daily
labor were compelled to sell their scrip at as
much as ffty-fve per cent discount.
By this means the floating Indebtedness of
the city was increased from year to year un-
til there was S96O,00O worth of scrip out.
which could not be paid in money and was
funded at par in bonds of the city, the spec
ulators who bought it making the discount
the poor man lost.
This done there was another issue of scrip
which increased as a result of delinquencies
of taxpayers,
Who went to the Legislature and procured
the passage of an amendment TO the city
charter compelling the taxcollector to take
scrip IN payment OF taxes, then
The delinquent taxpayer buying scrip at
thirty-three and one-third cents on the dollar
walked up and settled, thus escaping the
payment OF two-thirds of his taxes.
In this way the delinquent taxpayer re-
ceived premium for being delinquent,
pro6tsd by tic necessities of the municipal
ity and put money in his pocket that be-
longed to the fremen, the policemen and the
laborers who had faithfully worked for the
city.
These same delinquent taxpayers are now
profting by the passage of an act on Satur-
day last for the same purpose, and are glory
ing in their opportunity. Who made this op-
portunity is the question now asked by the
public.
