THE CRISIS IN TACOMA.
Democratic Victory Would Mean Cen.
tinuanco Of Misrulo.

TACOMA, March 2J.-[Special. Every
step in tho municipal campaign shows
that the taxpayer Is alert and that he
proposes to secure . model set of officials.
He is also on guard against schemes to
trade him of by those who wish TO serve
selfish ends. The Tacoma taxpayer il NOT
waging war; he is hustling for tho best
interests Of the city. This keeps him 20
busy that he has no time to quibbls or
digress.
At the present time the Tacoma tax
payer does not consider It wise to place
the executive department Of the city in
charge of the Democratic candidate for
mayor. because that man has made . sue
cess of the county finances, and has given
evidences Of using his official position to
advance private enterprises.
The Populist candidate for mayor can
scarcely be called successful physician,
and to place the city in the hands of Popu-
lists would, Ii Is held. have a tendency to
injure the credit of the city, no matter If
the candidates representing that party
were successful representatives OF any
given line of business. Tacoma's tax
payer wants, Of all things. men who have
the ability and desire to manage the city's
not In the interest Of any set Of men or In
terests.
During the past few weeks interest at
the rate Of per cent. has been realized on
the city funds now reported idle in the
banks Of tho city. Another salary-feduc-
ing ordinance has been passed, which will
take the place of the one vetoed by the
mayor, and will reduce salaries nearly
8. 600 per month. or about 10 per cent
Business men expected a greater reduc-
ton: the Chamber OF Commerce asked for
q 50 per cent. cut
In order to carry on ordinary improve
ments. and from time to time make little
extra improvements in the various city
departments, retrenchmcnt must prevail
permanently and consistently, especially
because the enormous outlay for the water
and electric light piants has. as was shown
hy the Posg-lsrElIIsENcERa at the time the
purchase Was effected thro ugh misrerre-
sentasion brought the city beyond its
legal limit for artihsial light water aud
sewer purposes.
No doubt before the city increases its
valuation on fair basis of population there
III he urgent demands for sewers and
other improvements which will have to
be taken care of mostly from the general
fund, which. ut the present rate of expen-
ditare. Is not able TO take care of itself
Rigid aud consistent economy and re-
| trenchment consistent with the best in
| terest Of the growing city will aid in hyidg-
| ing the difficulty. This, it. brief, is why
the Tacoma taxpayer is taking such a
| lively interest in the approaching munci-
| ral election
