Are You a Wyoming Taxpayer?

If SO, you are interested in any plan or suggestion that will
either increase or reduce the amount of taxes you now pay.
Doubtless you are familiar with all the political platforms now
before the public. Have you particularly noticed the blanks in the
platforms of the democratic and populist parties, advocating gov.
eminent ownership Of railroads? If SO, perhaps you would like to
know how such ownership will affect you and your property. Con.
slider carefully the following facts and figures:
First. NO GOVERNMENT PROPERTY is TAXABLE. Such
being true, how would the state make up the taxes now paid by the
railroads if they were owned by the government, and hence paid
40 taxes!
Do you know that the railroads, as now owned, paw twenty FIVE
per cent of all the taxes of the state? 1t isa fact, and it is also true
that in some counties they pay nearly one-half of the entire tax col
lected.
For example, railroad property will pay in 1896 the following
percentages of the taxes raised in the several counties of the state:
Big Horn.......:.....(No rafroads) Sheridan. .............1I per cent
Carbon. ............25 per cent sweetwater ."...4o. per cent
Converse per cent uinta..............3s per cent
Fremont. .....:...No rairoads) Weston..............24 per cent
johnson. ...........CN mo ranroad) Crook. ..........1s per cent
Laramie. ................27 per cent AVERAGE. rs PER CENT.
This does not include the taxes on machine shops. rolling mills,
hotels and coal lands, hence it is very much under the amount act
ualy paid by railroads.
The careful business man and taxpayer may reasonably ask
how this amount is to be made up if taken from the revenues of the
state. He may also want to know how much his taxes will be in
creased by such a reduction. State, county and town governments
and public schools must be maintained, and the total cost of main.
tanning them will be just the same whether railroads ire taxed OF
not. Suppose the railroad properties were to pay no taxes for the
year 1896, how much in that case would each taxpayers taxes be
increased? The answer is as follows:
Examine CarefunyJ
Albany, taxes would be increased. 49,. pr cen
Carbon, taxes would be increased .... Yer cent
Crook, taxes would be increased. .23s per cent
Laramie taxes would be increased. nr cent
Narona, taxes would be increased. h.. So per cent
Sheridan. taxes would be increased .207 per cent
sweewater, taxes would be increased. .ss2 pr cent
Uinta, taxes would be increased. Gal pr CEN
Weston. taxes would be increased 1926 per cent
AVERAGE INCREASE, a1 PER CENT. ~ cav
Anyone doubling these figures can verify them by reference to
the official reports of the State Board of Equalization or the rec.
ords of the county clerks.
Here is a table showing the result as to school taxes only, in

HazIeton's Firemen in Trouble.

The Pioneer Fire Company, of Halle
ton, which owns the teams that draw
the engine and hose cart, have sold one
of them and is negotiating the sale of
the other because of the refusal of the
city to appropriate $500 for the main
tenance of said teams. The members
of the company claim that they can no
longer pay for the keeping of the horses,
having already used their beneficial fund
for this purpose. The city solicitor ad-
vises against the payment Of the appro-
priation on the ground that there is no
law authorizing it.
The Pioneer Company is the only one
in the city that has teams to haul the
apparatus to fire, and the disposal of
the teams at this time leaves the city
without proper protection. There is
much uneasiness felt throughout the
city, but very little censure is visited
upon the fremen. 1t will probably end
in the establishing of paid department.

The Pettebone mine fire at Wilkes
barre is still raging, although the Off
cials now think they will be able to sub
due it. In order to rid the mine of the
gas work for the last week has been en-
tirely devoted to cutting an air way
through tho breasts into the burning
chambers. This work was carried on
with the greatest difficulty, as no blast
ing was allowed. After the most tedious
work, carried on necessarily, the air
way has been completed and by the use
of both fans much of the dangerous gas
has been driven out.
The men are now cleaning up the
debris and approaching the burning re-
gion as fast as their work will allow.
In the meantime heavy streams of water
are kept on the fire. The greatest dan
ger will probably be over in less than a
week unless something unusual occurs

Against the City Again.

Mrs. Marietta Boyle and her husband,
James f. Boyle, whose suit against the
city of Hazleton and Contractor Rausch
for $4,000 damages for negligence and
injuries, which was tried in court last
week, was awarded a verdict by the jury
Saturday morning. Mrs. Boyle got
$4,000 and her husband $1,75o against
the city and the contractor, by reason OF
their falling into an unprotected trench
while driving through the city one even
ing four years ago.
This case was on trial before, when
Judge Woodward decided that the city
of Hazleton was not liable. At thai
time the plaintiff secured a verdict OF
81 300 against the contractor. The case
was taken to the supreme court, which
ordered it to be retired, with the above
result. The city may again take tho
matter to the supreme court.

Can't Vote for Four Years.

There is one politician in Harrisburg
who has been eliminated from politics
for four years by the courts orders. At
a primary election in that city Wilhelm
Snyder was the judge. He refused legal
votes, violated the provision relating to
taking and administering the oath and
did other wrong things. Suit was
brought against him and he was con-
victed. A motion for new trial was
made which Judge Simonton refused.
Snyder's counsel pleaded for light
sentence.
Judge Simonton remarked that he had
not the slightest doubt that Snyder had
violated that provision of the act of 1881
regulating the maner of administering
and taking the oath. He would not like
to risk the statement that this was the
first time such an oiTense had been com
mitted in the city or county. He then
sentenced Snyder to pay fine of $50,
the costs and be deprived of the right
to vote for four years.
The court said this last punishment
was called for by the constitution, the
purpose being to make him who illegally
deprives other of their rights of suffrage
to suffer little along that line himself.
