THE finance committee Of City
Council has not yet taken any
steps toward appointing the four
new assessors. The whole fight
hinges on the appointment OF Thos.
F. Gormlcy, as assistant. Assessor.
The finance committee does not
want Gormley however. and so the
matter stands at present The
people do not want nybody ap.
pointed. al they deem it unneces-
sary expense. The two assessors
elected to that Office should do the
work. The city and county never
needed guiding hand IN frances
as much as at present Real estate
owners will be bankrupt and un.
able to pay their taxes, and the
city will be unable to collect the
taxes, as nobody will want roper
ties at any price, They will not
be bothered year after year with
the high tax rate. Patience will
soon cease to be virtue, and men
will forget party in voting for a
change. What do the people OF
this city get tor the high tax rate
they are compelled to pay: They
get police protection, fair side
walks and dusty streets. They
are not getting what they are pay
ing for in the increased assessment.
No new dwellings are being built,
building lots are a drug on the
market and it has never been hard

The late Professor Huxley. who was
as shrewd an observer Of men as he
was of nature, once remarked, after
falling into an indiscretion which an
noycd him, that W hen man says what
he has no need to say he is sure to
blunder. The truth of the observation
will hardly be questioned unless by the
very few, If there are any such, who
never say more than there is necessity
for saying. Most of us acknowledge. II
we review our own experience in the
matter, that We have frequently erred
by saying what needed not to be said
But why is it t liat people so persistent
~ commit this mistake? In the orLi-
nary small talk of the household or of
society it matters little whether it Is
committed or not.
But when serious matters are in
question, whether in conversation, in
set speech or In correspondence, a case
Is frequently spoiled by irrelevancc or
rcdundancc. To say what you mean Is
comparatively easy; to leave off when
you have said it is difficult and for
many people impossible. In Huxley's
case the fault, Which he probably did
not often commit, was due neither to
want of clear thinking nor to want Of
facility in the use of words. One or
the other or both of these causes will
explain the inability to keep to che
point which is usually apparent In
the speech and writing of uneducated
persons, But often, also, the speaker
or writer furgets that cxtrancous con-
sidrrations, interesting enough TO him
self, are Of no interest to those whom
he wishes TO convince.
