CITY Council will not oppose our
fire companies leaving the city. We
think that il the tiremen don't OBJ
ject, the citizens in general have
no kick coming TO them. The city
only provides the fire companies
with money enough to run their
apparatus, pay their drivers and
feed their horses. The men, no
matter how much time they lose
are not paid cent. II would not
be proper for our fire companies 10
leave the city il they were called
once a week, but they are not called
very often and ALWAYS respond
promptly. If hre should break
out in a nearby town that the citi-
zen, could not cope with, the city
could not afford to turn deaf ear
to the cry tor help.

Pie for Politicians.
Thus county and township governments

sets of officials. not to count the park

draw salaries and create Jobs and patronage
where one would be ample
All Of this has caused many of the rep
resentative men of Chicago to start a
movement having for its object the secur-
ing of new charter for Chicago, and the
abolition of the per cent bonded debt
limit. Until that IS done Chicago must be
hampered by the same restrictions that are
placed about the cities Of Peoria, Spring
field and Rock Island.
Mayors Remedy.
Mayor Harrison is away on his vacation
trying to forget that he is monarch of a
large town with a small bank account
Before he went away he had this to say
concerning the financial crisis which Chica-
go is facing:
peASNS lhdl tilSEe ~ OILY ONS IeNeuS
for the present situation. Every temporary
expedient for relief is only a makshift, and
sooner or later constitutional convention
must be called to settle things.
THAT is the only way out. believe that
most people realize the pitiable sum that
this city is receiving from the tax levy. but
they are afraid that If taxes are increased
the other taxing bodies will get far more
than their share Of the money. The number
of taxing bodies here Is an ever increasing
curse to the community.
Swift's Prophetic Remark.
when Mayor Swift went out of office he
said: God help the man who succeeds me-
He knew that sooner or later the city would
be SO crippled for lack of funds that it
would be impossible to get along. and things
have reached that point to-day. We are at
the danger line in every department. In 1873
the city's income from miscellaneous sources
was A,O0o,004 1t is now little over $1,000, 900.
If our income from taxation had grown at
the same ratio We should be getting s16.OO0.-
coo from that source alone
I'm 1873 the city got from taxation sources
$4,000. Figures like this tell the whole
story Of the pitiful condition Chicago is in
to-day. We are going to get less taxation
revenue than We had twenty-eight years
ago. 1t sounds incredible, but it is true.
Taxation is lower here than any other
city Of America outside Of Indianapolis. New
er up to the present time have the sinking
fund and interest accounts been considered
in city taxation. but this year all OF it,
amounting to 81, Go0.OOO will have to be taken
out of our individual resources"

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Chicago, July 22-Chicago. the second city
| IN the most prosperous nation in the world,
practically is in the position of a city facing
bankruptcy. 1t presents the pathetic spec
tacle of begging funds to clean the streets,
to pay policemen, the firemen, and the
school teachers. Public improvements are
at a standstill. bridges are unrepaired, pay
Ing unmended. Retrenchment has been or
dered all along the line. A 90 per cent re-
duction has been made in every department

aids can WELD the ak.
Ta1-DodGers blamed.
Rich men and great corporations mean
time are fighting with all their strength
for reduction Of taxes and assessments.
Their claim that they are being overtaxed
, is ridiculous and Ex-Governor Altgeld this
week appeared before the Board of Re-
, view. which passes on the assessments, and
submitted list of rich men whom he ac-
| cused of lodging their taxes.
"Tax-dodging," Mayor Harrison says. "is
responsible for the empty Golfers Of the
city"
Vested interests retort that a poor admin
istration and horde of hungry politicians
have dissipated the revenue OF the city with
such prodigality that legitimate expenses
cannot be met
Business men and students OF Chicago's
peculiar form Of government declare that
both are wrong. The assertion is made by
them that nothing short of n CONSTITUTIONAL
amendment by the Legislature Of the State
can save Chicago from continuous financial
embarrassment.
Charter is Anticipated.
Chicago, with population of two mil
lion, to-day is operating under an anti
uuated Charter adopted April 49, 1875. when
the city had barely 10000 inhabitants.
Under the Charter. the city OF Chicago
cannot exceed the Constitutional limit OF
per cent on the assessed valuation in its
bonded debt, and therefore must struggle
along with bonded Indebtedness of &c.
o0O0. less than half that Of Milwaukee. a
city of 100000 inhabitants. Yet. January l
of this year the city owned physical prop
erty worth s75,Ooo.ooo.
Hxdra-Headed Taxation.
Within the confines of Chicago twenty-ore
separate and distinct bodies have the right
to levy taxes. These wheels within wheels
furnish jobs to hundreds Of hungry politi-
clans and eat up taxes Yet so great is the
patronage that up to date politicians have
always been able to prevent the abolition
of any of the many useless taN-eatins
boards.
Here is the list of bodies empowered to tax
the property-hoders:
