RIVERSIDE

RIVERSIDE, May 25.-Regular Corre-
spondence) Riverside has an old-man-of-
the-sea sprouting in the shape of the
business license tax question. 1t Is quite
generally understood that the ordinance
providing such tax will not stand the
test of the courts, but as necessity exists
for raising more money than can be legally
raised by general taxation, the business
men have hitherto generously paid the
license tax without objection. Now, how
ever, since we have department stores,
a demand has arisen for an equalization
of the tax, on the basis of the number of
lines of business carried on under one
roof and by one firm, or in proportion to
the volume of business. This has stirred
the business men up somewhat, and there
IS some talk of fighting the license ta.:
i'll toto. The matter came before the board
of trustees today and the result was the
appointment of committee to. draft a
more equitable ordinance than that now
in force.

Christ's explanations to the multitude.
