PERTINENT QUESTIONS


Concerning the City Government
Mr.. EDIToR-It is maxium to
which all Subscribe that all govern
ments are solely for the good OF the
governed, and no where Is this more
applicable than in municipal govern
mcnt. All taxes should be levied and
collected and expended in town sole
ly for the benefit of the inhabitants of
the town. Is this true in Iukap In
1894 our municipal taxes were higher
than for several previous years, and
it is said the present Board are seek
ing new ways to increase the collec-
ton of taxes. Why-is thisp Certainly
our present Board is not doing more
for the improvement of the town than
those going before. Many places in
our most public streets are almost irr-
passible. Our police regulations are
no better. and in fact if the governed
are getting any increased benefits for
the increased taxes they are not able
to see and appreciate these benefits
We are told that the present Board
has voted salaries as follows for the

1t is claimed by a large number OF
the citizens OF. Iuka that the Town
Council has gone so far in passing OBJ
jectiouabe ordinances, making laws.
and doing many things which are de-
structive TO peace and happiness that
they are growing insufferable; that in
stead OF insuring domestic tranquility
they promote dom dc broils, disturb
ance and dissatisfaction; that instead
of cutting down expenses. administer
ing government economically, and
fostering public works and street i'm
provement, they increase salaries and
create new Offices; that they do
not distribute the burden of taxation
equally. but place extra tax on a few
by requiring an additional privilege
license; that they make people citizens
of Iuka against their will who live out
of town, thereby turning the negro
population into the public schools ut
the expense OF the whites. In fact the
|
great deal moro cussing and abuse
than they deserve. and some that they
do deserve. 1t is hardly expected that
tho Board is infallible; being hum an
they are prone to err. THE VIDErTE
by no means approves the course Of
some of the citizens OF our town who
stubbornly refuse to pay attention to
| their laws and ordinances. 1t is the
| manifest duty Of all to uphold and
laws are unjust or oppressive. make
complaint, and it is our opinion they
will right them. When you fail TO
| give them your support. you strike a
blow at good order and the future of
the town. Put yourself in their place,
| If you please. and doubtless you would
make mistakes. But by this we do not
mean to excuse the Board. The peo-
pie certainly have just grounds for
complaint against great many things
the Board has done. The privilege

| like the idea OF extending the corpor-
ate limits. The Board pays out over
800 annually TO the town officials.
| which is to much. This amount could
be greatly reduced and the money
spent to great advantage in improving
the streets or some other much needed
improvement. The night Waterman
now receives salary Of $50 per
month and people off the public square
are taxed to pay where they have no
representa- n. But we believe the
Board did all this thinking they were
doing the best thing possible for the
town. and If they persist that they are
right, THE YIDETTE will stay by them
to the end. Whenever they offer
a long list OF abuses to the public and
undertake to rule by the advantage of
the power vested in them will the VI
DETTE openly robel, but not I'M
I'll then. In the language OF that great
document, the Declaration of indie
tendance. Prudence will dictate that
governments should not be changed for
slight or transient causes; all mankind
are disposed to suffer, while evils are
siderable, than to right themselves
by abolishing the forms to which they
are accustomed"
