money. All junketlng trips by our
city fathers should be irowned
down. All bills that are unneces.
sarily high should be protested
against and the paym mt on them
stopped. Never have the people
been so wrought up as they are
now in the matter OF excessive tax
rate under which they are now
struggling and which bids far to
be higher instead OF lower next
year.
1t is high time tor the people to
take an interest in how their money
is spent and get very little in
return. Improvements have to be
made but they should be kept with
in bounds and not thousands OF dol
lars piled up which the tax payers
are called upon to pay. There
should be other means OF raising
taxes except by charging every
thing up to real es tate. LooH back
a few years and see with wnatrap-
i'd strides the tax rate has been
raised year after year The real
estate market has begun TO look up
again IN this city, but prices have
not advanced in proportion to the
increase in the tax rate. A high
tax rate depreciates proper ty, a
low tax rate increases the price.
Why, bel ause it creates a demand
