No wonder the real estate business In
Chicago IL dead.
People are tired Of paying the taxes
Of others.
Owing to the bribery Of Assessors by
the Gas Trust and other rich corpora
ttons the assessed valuation of Chicago
property gets lower every year, while
the taxes OF those who have to pay
grow larger In amount.
The expenses of the city are greater
every year and the poor man who pays
taxes has to meet them. The Gas Trust
and other brlbers are not affected.
The honest taxpayers Of Chicago pay
a greater percentage on each 500 Of
their assessed valuation than the peo-
ple OF any other city in the United
States.
The following figures taken from the
New York World Almanac for 1900 and
furnished by the Mayors Of the cities
named, speak for themselves:

TIE GREAT SEAL.
II - in nm Unfinished state to This
Day.

Day.
Half a dozen state Department clerks
were talking about the war with Spain
and the signing of the treaty of peace.
incidentally the great seal of the United
States was mentioned. The old clerk
spoke up and the younger members Of
the group listened with interest. for
when the old fellow talked, which was
very seldom, his remarks were well
worth hearing. Speaking of the great
SEAL" said he, do any Of you happen
to know that the seal Of our country
is In nm unfinished state? No? Well.
I thought not" and the old clerk smiled
pntronizingly.
I'm 1852, June 20 was the exact date,
the Continental Congress adopted n
seal. This same seal was inter adopt.
cd by the First Congress of the United
States. Now, design was adopted for
both the diverse and reverse Of the
seal. With the former we arc all IN.

sign adopted for the reverse of the seal
Is an unfinished pyramid. In the

the base Of the pyramid appear the nu.
merlcal letters MDCCLXXv1. Over
the eye are the words 'Annuit cOeptis.

1.-THE pyramid signifies strength and
duration. The eye over II and the
motto allude to the interpretations Of
Providence In favor Of the American
cause. The date underneath is that of
the Declaration Of Independence. and
the words under IL signify the begin.

Ilidtculcd g. l.. Davis.

About the best true story-l suppose
the stories are true, as he swOrc they
all were-told me by my friend the
clerk was about Charles l.. Davis, the
actor, otherwise known ms calvin Jos.
lin" He was In the lobby Of the st.
Charles in New Orleans when n man
from Chicago stepped In front Of him
and looked over his head In search OF
an acquaintance who he supposed was
In the hotel lobby. Davis, mistnkinp
the Chicago mans purpose, remnrked
"Ah. I see you admire my diamonds
This one"-indlcating the stone on his
shirt bosOm-"cOst me 5000. These
showing his cuff buttOns-"cOst me
$500 each. and my wife hns a trunk
full up In our roOm."
The Chicago man did not say much
but that evening. by arrangement with
the head waiter. Davis was placed a,
supper alone mt table where were
several vacant chairs. Presently seven
men. all commercial travellers, entered
the dining-roOm. and each one had q
large cut-glass fruit dish fastened or
his breast, while glass prlsms hung
pendant from each coat and vest but
ton.
Sobcrly marching to Davis table. the
seven men took the vacant seats and
the Chicago man entertained the actOl
with: "Ah. sec you admire our dia
monds. This one"-pointing to the
fruit dlsh-"cost me 100000. These
Indicating the prisms-"cOst $3.50 OO(
ench. and we have three carloads like
them Mt the depot waiting to be side
tracked" Davis not only changed hi,

Out Of the ten largest cities In the

Does any one for moment believe

cago, not to speak of San Francisco

A thousand times no!
Chicago Is the victim of the brlbe.glv-
ing propenslties Of the Gas Trust and
other robblng corporations, which take
all that the people have and give them
nothing In return.
Chicago gives the Gas Trust and the
other tax lodging corporations police
protection and fire protection. 1t gives
the Gas Trust Its streets free of charge.
And in return the Gas Trust cheats
Chicago out of Its taxes and forces the
city to pay 1t millions of dollars for
the poor apology for gas furnished to
Its lampposts and public buildings.

tension of the functions Of the munic.

gree Of public ownership 1t Is to be
presumed he will sign the resolutions.

to their form. BY doing 80. and by mp.

ry out the purpose Of the resolutions,
he will do much to prepare the way for
proper solution of the lighting prob
lem In Chicago.

cAGo, ESPECIALLY THE GAS COMPANIES,
HAVE TREATED THE PUBLIC MOST
snAMEFCLLy. THEY SECURED FRAN.
CHIsEs UPON THE EMPRESS STIPULATION
THAT THEY WOULD NOT COMBINE, nut
WOULD COMPETE WITH ONE ANOTHER.
THEY PROCEEDED, HOWEVER, TO FORM
A TRUST IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW,
AND THEN, TO AVOID EMBARRAssMENT,
HAD THE LEGISLATURE PASS AN ACT
LEGALIZING THEIR STATUS. MORE THAN
THAT, THEY HAD THE LEGISLATURE
PASS ANOTHER ACT MAKING ANY FUR
TIER COMPETITION WITH THEM PnAc-
TicALLY IMPOSSIBLE. JUST BEFORE
THESE LAWS WENT INTO EFFECT AN
OFFER WAS MADE By RESPONSIBLE PER-
SONS TO FURNISH LIGHT UPON TERMs
MUCH MORE FAVORABLE TO CONSUMERS
AND THE CITY THAN THE TRUST MAIN
TAIN. THE AGENTS OF THE TRUST PRE-
VENTED THE PASSAGE or THE ORDI-
NANCE.
Evidently the only relief from the
situation Is In extending the functions
Of the municipality. The city has a
municipal electric lighting plant, which
the Mayor and Council, very wisely,
have taken steps to enlarge. Upon Sc.
curing the proper authority from the
Legislature the city plant could be still
further enlarged and used In furnish
ing light TO private consumers, just as
the city furnishes water to citizens. In
the course of time the city might very
well go further and take over the eX-
listing lighting plants and thus control
the entire lighting service of the city.

ture authority for municipalities to
furnish light to private consumers
would meet with hearty cooperation
from the smaller cities of the State.
Many OF them have electric lighting
plants for furnishing public light. They
could just as well as not furnish light
to their citizens, and frequently have
sought from the Legislature the prlvi,
lege of so doing, but without success
In several nelghboring States cities
having municipal plants are allowed to
sell light. The cities of Illinois, es..'s.
clally the smaller ones, should be given
this same privilege. II Mayor Harrison
