EXPLAIN, MR.. WALKER
AN INDIGNANT SAN PEDRO TAX
PAYER WANTS INFORMATION.
He Not Only Pays His Own Poll Tax.
but That of Another Man, and
Wants to Know About 1t.
Walker Never Paid.

A taxpayer who lives down at San
Pedro writes the HERALD an interesting
letter detailing his experiences in deal
ing with some of the present Republican
county officials who are conducting the
$l2 per minute government on court
house hill.
The taxpayer aforesaid calls attention
to some of the "new gettings up" of the
said Republican officials, which are a
source of annoyance, and work hard.
ship to the already overburdened small
property owners. In his letter he re-
cites the following facts, and asks some
questions.
ION May 81, 1883, Mr.. A sold lot
40x120 to Mr.. B in the city of San Pedro.
In 1889 Mr.. B sold the lot to me, and
since 1889 I have held the ownership.
Mr.. A is supposed not to have paid his
poll tax in 1888, whereupon in this year
of our Lord, 1892, party named R. F.
House writes me piece of poetry to the
effect that am inde bted to the state of
California in the sum of $12, for the rea-
son that Mr.. A. had failed to paw his
poll tax in 1888.
81 came to Los Angeles and inter-
viewed Mr.. r. F. House at the court
house, in one of those elegantly fur
nished offices, equipped with marble
floors, beautiful desks and counters. 1
asked him for an explanation, and he
told me that man in the county audi
tors Office would give me receipt and
take my money. Further than this Mr..
House was blissfully ignorant.
after an interview with the county
auditor, concluded that the best thing
to do was to pay. I had no time or
money to do anything else. therefore
paid and received the following receipt:

$50 the state Of California is loaning

whacked to me in the sum of So for hav-
ing notice served on me that it cost
5 cents to serve. The county auditor
gets large salary and does nothing.
Yet I am mulcted for So to pay him a
fee for collecting $11.73.
1T is time. The taxpayers OF this
county are getting it soaked into them
with vengeance. do hope that we
can get new set of officers at the ap.
preaching election. have never voted
the Democratic ticket before, but this
year am going to 60 it straight. Any
thing for a change. We can't have il
any worse than it is now.
zone OF THE SoAKED.IN TAXPAYERS"
There are some questions asked by the
"Soakedin Taxpayer" that the HERALD
cannot answer. The supposition is that
the $11.73 was collected from him ''ac-
cording to law" yet it does seem cruel
that he should be forced to pay the poll
tax of Mr.. A. for 1888 in order to clear
the title to his little home. Perhaps
Mr.. N. B. Walker, the Republican NOM
iDee for county tax collector, can tell
him how to avoid paying his own poll
tax, let alone being forced to pay that
Of another man. Mr.. Walker, although
he has been drawing salary from the
city and county for four years last past,
has never paid dollar Of poll tax, and
il he will kindly consent to tell how he
managed to have his brother Republican
officials overlook him in this particular,
it would furnish an Interesting chapter.

THE GREAT WESTERN MIN.

THE only state that has had the
courage to stand out against the wor.
ship of the stuffed prophet, is the
! state of Iowa, and for its courage it
deserves the plaudits Of the people.
After inaugurating one Of the most
remarkable campaigns of this century
by at first falling at the feet Of ID. b.
Hill and worshiping his b~urglarious
acts in New York and next calling for
that ''good western man." the whole
party has been routed and now be-
longs soul and body to the mar who
wrote himself out Of the nomination,
when he penned that remarkable anti.
silver letter. Before the echo of the
cry for Boies, for Gray, for Palmer
and others, too numerous to mention,
had died away, there was a general
pell nell scramble to get back under
Cleveland's umbrella. Not from con.
viction OF party strength, but for man
worship. That Mr.. Cleveland is the
strongest candidate that the party
a nominate, no one has yet had the
courage to assert. And yet Boies,
Gray and Palmer seem to have fallen,
as it were, under the crushing wheels
OF a train Of cars, and this, regardless
OF their strength and prospects of
election. The fact that Iowa has
picked up the mangled remains OF
its favorite son and given him a last
boost for the nomination is credit
able to the state in the highest de-
gree. Illinois and Indiana were not
equal to the emergency and their
favorite son deserve nothing.

has permitted the reduction Of the
tax levy we do not know, but il il
was upon the theory of economy, it
was a great mistake. There is no
economy in poorly paid teachers and
eight months school. We hope steps
will be taken to remedy the evil as
people of this city can not afford to
stand by and see this city suffer the
existence of an eight months school
any longer.
