The lands are already settled, but

No one will dispute but that is a
higher rate than the property in any
community ought to pay. The
question of reducing expenses and
tax levy must be met. The county
has cut down expenses in many
ways, and the next county tax levy
will he reduced. Whatever other de-
crease there is must come in the city
and schools.
The expenses can be reduced, but
they never will be until the people de-
man1 it in such a way that their
wishes will he carried out. A tax
levy of between 30 and IS mills would
be reasonable, and it never again
should exceed the last named figure.
Some means should be devised to
make this question prominent in
future campaigns and keep it prom
inent after campaigns are closed. A
campaign howl is not wanted. but
satisfactory results after the cam
paign are sorely needed in this COM
munity.

- THERE Any DHNGERP
apparently No Harm Would
Come From Con 8idering the
Howard Charter. A.

1t ia understood that II the city
council should take action on sub
shifting the adoption Of the Howard
city charter to Il vote Of the people.
the question would come before the
voters at the next regular election,
provided an election took place
within so days. The annual city
election will be held within 80 days,
and II the people a re to he allowed
to vote on it. the question would
come up at that time. Every citizen
and Taxpayer recognizes that there
are some III terial public advantages
to be gained by adopting the char
the. most <.tmHVrtant
being means to fund the 'fioatinG
debt (n"w amounting to nearly u
years receipts) and provisions are
intended to prevent the creation Of
another public debt. Ifthere IL any
desirable condition in city govern
ment. 1t is to have the municipality
on d sound financial basis. to have
money to pay its bills. and then to
see that it's expenses do not exceed
it's income. A public officer who
does not appreciate these advan-
tages seems scarcely to have con-
sidered the city's interests.
The officials have certain public
duties to perform, and the necessary
authority IL given them t" levy taxes
and pay the bills. It is their duty
as business men to provide funds for
paying the expenses. and to see that
the expenses do not exceed the in
come. The only apparent method Of
meeting the first proposition il to
adopt the Howard charter, and the
way to insure rhe latter desired re-
suit is found in the provisions Of
that charter,
Now there may be objections to
the Howard charter. but none have
been publicly suggested, and we
doubt If there are any that any
where near counter-balance the GER
tainlv excellent provisions.
However, the general public will
never carefully Investigate the
features of tn" charter until, bv
action Of the council, they are called
upon to vote upon it. What posi-
BILE harm could come from the council
taking steps toward having vote
on the adoption Of the charter at the
coming city election?
!. There would he ample time for the
public to inform itself ON he question
and If substantial reasons could be
produced showing that it is best to
continue under the present charter,
there certainly would he no danger
u the people adopting an objection
able charter. The present financial
condition of the city is unfortunate,
and all alike want an improvement.
1t certainly rests with the council to
offer the votes an opportunity to
say whether the only possible rem
edy would be acceptable.
