Louis seibold in The Munsey:

AOulS CelDOlQ III ne MuHSGy.
 Croker has no theories. I have his own assurance on this point. He is practical and tactful. He indulges in no day dreams. He works with the tools that the political school in which he has been trained have provided. He knows that they are the most useful and that they accomplish the purposes for which they are intended.
 Doing things" he said. sententious- ly. once when I asked him how he ac- counted for his success. He fumbled his closely-cropped gray beard turned his steel blue eyes on the Saratoga race track. where we were at the time. and continued: While most men sit around club windows. or at dinners, discussing political plans. I go out among my people to find out what they are saying and doing. I don't waste any time on theories. I want reports that give me facts and figures. don't make plans to be forgotten over night. I never went to bed on a theory in my life As a matter of fact. I never went to bed at all if there was a plan to carry out until had learned whether i, would suit me or not.
 "The best plans are those that result from the establishment of a system. System is necessary to success. and you cannot have system without organiza- ton. Tammany Hall Is a perfect or ganization; therefore a perfect system.

THAT GAS CONTRACT.
A Strong Protest Against the coun-
 cil's Action.

Editor The Advertiser:
 A leading journal like yours eXer- cises a great public trust The press IS the great instrument of protection to the neople in arousing healthy sent iment on matters of public concern. l was a little surprised, therefore, that you dealt so mildly with the proposi.,, ton made by the expiring Slty Councii to manacle the citizens of ms town for fifty years for the beneht or the Gas Trust" I hope you will come 10 the rescue of the people In your se- Vefest style.
 Ask any hundred citizens what they think of the proposition, and you will find that they have but one oplnion- and that IS, that the City Council have not acted prudently. to say the very least. The whole mater is suspicious. What light has the City Council to make such a contract under the cir cums;ances? If 1t is p1lpably unbus!- re. .;.l!ke--if 1t betrays an utter dlsre- gald of the interests of the city and people-aH of which, l undertake to say, is the case, as it appears to me the citizens ought to rise up and in mass meeting protest against it's con summation.
 What is the inducement to make such a contract? If the city will offer the contract at publie competition and make 1t exclusive. have no doubt whatever, that 1t VIII sell for $1O0 900. Why. then. donate such a franchise to any set of persons? Does the city be- long to the City Council that 1t can thus be dealt with?
 But 1t is said by Attorney Steiner that the contract Is not exclusive! That is all bosh-everyon knows that 1t Is the same as if 1t were exclusive In terms, since the company can defy com petition and ruin any r!Val that has no. the assurance of a long contract. Thus it is ex5 lusive in effect, though not so in terms, for purpose. And we are made to pay 50 per cent. more than we should pay. If the City Coun- cil can fix a price for fifty years, why not forever?
 Messrs. Editors, no matter what the transaction is in fact, the citizens of this town. I believe. are practically unanimous in the opinion that the City Council are willing to shut their eyes to their duty.
 Gas can be furnished to this town at $l per 1000 feet. If this is so. why should we pay S1.62?
 And especially why should the pres ent City Council desire to make the contract?
 And, Messrs. Editors, do we dare hope for any assistance from the Mayor? I believe not. I believe not 1 predict that the contract will be ap- proved, and that We will be relegatet to the courts. Javis.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-08-11
THE CITY TAX RATE.
The Practical Increase is One Hun
 dred Per Cent.


 Editor The Advertiser. ! Citizen" is much disturbed by the prospect Of a tax of 2.50 per cent. on the taxable property of this city. think he has stated it one- tenth of one per cent too high. @
 The Convention has made a reduc- ticn on the State and county limit and an increase Of more than one hun dred per cent. on Ire municipal limit for general purposes.
 Under the present Constitution the city can cnyl legally levy a tax of 50 for general expenses and .22 Der cent. to pay interest on bonded debt of 1875. ..."
 The amendment to Section il of the report of Committee CT Municipal Cor pora tiors, which applies only to Mont gomery. increases the limit for general cxpenses about 106 per cent. and pro- Vi0es that this increase shall he de- Voted exclusively to the payment os the public debt, interest thereof and renewals thereof, and to the mainte- nance ot Its public schools and public conveniences." The present Constitu- tion nXes the limit of taxation for all these and all other purposes except for payment of interest of said bonded debt. at one-half of 1 per cent the proposed Constitution fixes It at 1n3 per cent, which is an increase of 1O6 per cent. on the present limit for such purposes.
 In addition to all this, a license tax of about Ss5.nOO is collected annually, which is about .6S Ter cent on the taxable property of the city. I hope Citizen will not lose eleep in thinking over th3sA blessings which spring from republican government.
