Those High Taxes,

The reason the tax levy is higher
this year than last is owing to the
great decrease in valuation of city
property LAST year we had a valua-
tion of $4,000, this year it is a little
over $500 900, which is the true cause
of the increase in the tax levy.-[Th
News.
If this were true (which it is not, as
the figures are purposly made too high
for 80 and too low for 81 let
us see what results. The tax
rate last year was Is mills. This rate on
$40, 900, gives ST., $40 while this year
according to the records of the council!
the amount to be raised is $4,000. An
increase of over $1,000. 1t is just as
well to be honest, StrOther.

a Land Where People Must Be Careful In
Their Speech.

Two merchants while in Moscow dur
ing the cars late visit to that city,
were rather noisily discussing the
merits and dement's of a friend with
whom they had spent the evening. The
hour was late and both had INDUCED Il
little too freely in champagne, conse-
quently their talk was not as guarded
as it should have been.
Finally one of them said: There is
no use talking about him; he is fool. p"
A policeman, whom they had not OBJ
served, on hearing this placed both men
under arrest, refusing to give any ex-
PLANTATION. On reaching the police sta
ton they were charged with insulting
his imperial majesty, Alexander III.
The merchants replied that they had
not been speaking of the car at all,
but an acquaintance.
'Well, said the officer, assuming an
air of great authority; 1--WE all know
who is called a fool" Russia is dan
gerous country to call n person fool,
but it will be still more dangerous to do
so when the czarowitz ascends the
throne

Prosperity.
The loan agents of Abilene say that
the farmers Of Dickinson county are
becoming more and more Independent

simply swimming in money. ThoTs-

every day, and along with each pay

something like the following: "Half

EDS. RECORD-UNION: ItlacllS now but
a few months of winter and as yet moth
ing has been done toward strengthening
the leyee on Front from r to \, and
while there are many things that need at
tention in this city, still there is nothing
can or ever will come up before our peo-
pie Of so great Importance as this leVee
question, and why our people do not take
it in hand before the winter rains set III
is q mystery to many thousand taXpay-
erS who have their all here. But we are
a slow people and much given to prom
iSeS. Only this spring it was promised.
on what was supposed good authority,
that the railroad company was 10 ralSC
the l'ront-street leVee 10 its proper grade,
and that our city authorities We're TO raise
and strengthen Front street from X to y.
But ! fail to see any OF this work done,
and it is now almost September lst.
Surely no objection is being made to this
work being done, by the property-oWn-
crS, for l viii venture to say there is not
a man or woman Within he limits OF Sac
rNmCntO, who own their own homes, who
would object to paying an extra tax that
our lcTeGs would be made absolutely safe
against any high water that may hereafter
come. We have graded and graVcled the
principal streets Of the city till now WC
can point with priGCtO our most excellent
thoroughiarcS; we have removed many
OF our ancient ana unsighuy awnings
and have replaced them with uew and
more modern ones; our wooden sidewalks
are fast being replaced with artificial
stone: III fact, these great Improvements,
in connection WIth our elegant electric
railroad, which Is not surpassed by any
other city in the State, and our new
swimming bath, gives Sacramento City 4
standing which may well be enVied by
her sister cities.
But still. with all this, she reminds one
OF the contractor who, III building six
story brick building, started his tOuuda-
ton with one row OF brick and widCned
it as it went up until the wallis of the last
story were six feet through. The result
was the building fell on account OF the
weak foundation. This city roninds the
outsider Of this contractor. she goes on
improving III everything that tends tC
make her IL commercial center, but shC
/ leaves her foundation Sub. cct TO fail al
any tiIne-that is her leveeS; for We're 4
break to occur from X to i, on Front
street, ii would take millions to reDaiI
the damage done. Then why not, now
that we have plenty Of time, go to work
and make our leVeeS secure. There is
really no immediate danger from any
ordinary winter, but this is not enough
Let there be absolutely no danger; that is
what we want, and since our people want
it, why not have ii so? Tie question
may be raised where is the money com
ing from? l say it makes no difference
it can and must be raised. There is lots
of it here that can be borrowed at low
rate of interest till the next tax levy fOl
this purpose. and, Mr.. Trustees, were l
vested with the power that you are. this
work would be done, and Immediately
even if l had to go in debt for it and trust
