THE STREET GRADE MIDDLE.
Spokane Review.


After giving the problem much pains-
taking consideration, the special commit
tee az work on The grade tax problem has
proposed a plan OF compromise between
the city and the delinquent taxpayer. Ap-
parentiy the committee has hesa controlled
by considerations Of justice and expesi-
ency. From one point @. view the gen.
eral taxpayer ought not 10 be called upon
20 bear any part OF this burden II was
distinctly understood in the beginning
that the owners OF the improved pro;-
erty would pay all the tax and all the
interest accruing upon the warrants is
sued in payment OF the Improvement II
the contract price was excessive. and the
property has since deprecated in value,
that is thu misfortune OF the property
holder II the tax has remained unpaid
ana interest has piled M that is because
OF his negligence. II the city Is now in
VOWED II is because IL has been easy-going
and ienient Il dealing with the delin-
Quents.
However. as matter of expediency, IL
Is the Judgment OF those who have given
the matter special attention that II would
DC better all round 10 throw off the inter-
est and d part of the principal in order 20
stimulate prompt payment OF the remain
der and clean Up a large part OF the de-
HnQuency.
The delinquents should consider that the
city has come 20 the end Of its easy-goug
neShgent methods. The courts have forced
II 10 day OF reckoning with the warrant
holders. and the city in return will proceed
vigorously 10 an accounting with the de-
hnquent property holders. II the council
should adopt the committees plan Of COM
promise. one more opportunity will be pre-
scented TO the property owner to cancel the
moral and legal obligation against him. II
he rejects that, the city Will enforce the
severe penalties provided by law.
That the city will have the right 20 en-
force collection against the greater part
or the delinquent property. there is scarce
ly shadow OF doubt. Indeed. il is the be-
lief of capable lawyers that means can be
found 10 enforce the collection of all. II
the proposed compromise should be reject
ed the city Will proceed with vigor and de-
termination TO enforce collection at public
sale, and from the best possible view that
could be taken by the property owner re-
sisting this action. his property would he
thrown under cloud of litigation which
would deprive him of the opportunity TO
Sell upon rising market.
There is hardly a doubt, though. that
the city would win in the courts. and the
delinquents would have TO pay. in the end,
several times the sums that would suffice
under the compromise To clear the cloud
upon their titles.

Inc ABNORMAL abundance OF idle money
IN every financial center is beginning to
nave It's effect. Manufa cturers who met
their hrst refusal from the banks in The
trying days OF 1888 and who in conse-
auence have declined 10 risk a second
refusal since, now perceive that the boot
is on the other leg. Where it was hardly
possible 10 obtain 1,inds for love or money
some time ago they now are able to OBJ
tain all the accommodation they want.
and practically on their own terms. The
result has been 10 stimulate activity in
manufacturing industries TO an extent not
seen for many months. Reports from
travelling statesmen give such good assur-
ance OF q brisk fall ard winter trade that
manufacturers feel confident IN taking
little risk. which OF itself is 6 remarkable
advance from the state Of lethargy which
has prevailed for so long.

around her. The policeman smiled and
said, cher husband left her, do you blame
him?" Some men passing remarked, ut
appears to be a woman talking, she
ought to read what St. Paul says about
women talking in public" At the end OF
the mall in the corner was large throng
of men gathered round man, who was
entertaining them very much by talk
on socialism. He belonged to the labor
party. He is familarly known as the
"Sky-scraper" for he has painted and
mounted so many high steeples in Boston
that it has made him famous. His hear
ers, about $50, all men, were nodding
their heads and some were saying, that's

out flower beds and saw the surging
masses thronging over the bridge or out
in the little swan boats on the pond, we
almost felt ourselves in Naples or some
foreign city, and then as we listened to

not criticize those speakers and singers

worthy end in view doubtless, giving up
their time and leisure, perhaps to lead

way. Sowing seed by the wayside, who
