In communication to THE CALL Mr..
Magee added:
MANY other facts than these were also
furnished, l believe, by other real-estate
men of the Merchants Association com.
mittee (Messrs. Won Rhein and Baldwin, }.
| think these facts are worth careful read
ing.
"But when 95 out of every 100 voters
and taxpayers wholly neglect City inter.
ests we can look for and get nothing else
but higher and higher taxes. If property
owners generally neglected their private
interests as they do their tax interests and
the City and State government, which FIX
our taxes, every one of them would speed
lily land in bankruptcy. We are not hal
punished by 81 25 tax rate. We richly
deserve So one, and it will reach thai
figure if things are allowed to go on al
they are now going. Property are
geese to be plucked by the elegant gentle
men of leisure who rule them. They de
serve all the plucking they get and con
tempt they receive, too."
