Il should be kept before the people
that the democratic administration has
raised the terrltorialt tax levy from two
and four-tenths mills to three mills--the
maximum allowed by law. This hap
pens with q taxable valuation increased
by several million dollars over the valu-
stlon Of last year. II is probable that
democratic extravaganoe would 60 much
farther bat for the limit OF three mills
imposed by law. It is fact that re-
ceipts under this levy will not
equal expenditures. There would
be plenty, and money to spare, if the
railroad tax was collected after the plan
in vogue many years under republican
rule. But the Church administration 80
manipulated the law that railroad cor
porations can escape with part payment.
