HANDS orr CHICAGO.

Even the Republican press of Chicago
is now gracefully and frankly admit
ting the splendid work accomplished
by Mayor Harrison during the past
four and one.half years in the line OF
municipal reform and honest civil gov
eminent.
Notwithstanding the wave OF calum-
ny, misrepresentation and suspicion
which has swept through this city dur.
Ing the past few days, the fact that
Chicago to-day has the most honest
and efficient administration, directed
and controlled by the best Mayor she
has never had, remains patent to the
public mind and Is admitted freely by
all falr-minded citizens.
A few days ago Lawrence Y. Sher.
man. Speaker of the House of Repre-.
sentatlyes in the two last General As.
semblies, was il Chicago, and at a
banquet, delivered before the Real rs,
tate Board, threw out some suggestions,
among which was one that the Chi
cago city Council should be changed
from Il single TO double-chambered
body. In other words, he advocated
that the City Council be remOdeled
after the plan Of the State Legislature,
and Of some Of the civic legislative
bodies of other large cities throughout
the country.

"EQUALiZIN0" TIVE TAXES.

The State Board of Equalization Will
be called upon this week to loose thu
grip which the wealthy taxdodgers OF
this State, ana particularly Of Cook
County ana Chicago. have for years
maintained upon the thrOats Of the
common people of this community.
| Never before has there been such Il
tremendous upheaval of public senti

who have for years managed. through
bribery, perjury ana all sorts of cor.
ruptiOn, to evade the payment of theli

On Wednesday last u great delegation
of citizens, the most influential and rep
resentative perhaps, that ever left this
city for the state capital, proceeded to
Springfield, ILL.,, there to place before
the State Board of Equalization the
claims of the people of Chicago for an
honest assessment of all corporate
property. including railroads, ana val
liable franchises.
Mayor Harrison, who has done such
splendid missionary work in this par

says:
"All the various attempts this munici.

to better conditions are and have been
but temporary makeshifts: they cannot
possibly be Of general and lasting ben.
eft. The best evidence of the futility
of attempting a permanent remedy
while conditions remain as they are to-.
day may be drawn from the fact that
Chicago. while II performs the bulk Of
the work. receives but eighteen per cent
Of the taxes collected within its own
limits.
"The salvation of this city lies In an
early Constitutional Convention which.

Ci1Y 1RAcTi0H REFORM.

The report Of the Council Committee
Oh Transportation IL a notable dOcu.
ment and contains many useful sugges-
lions in the line Of reform.
Among the most valuable of these II
the proposition to abolish completely
the antiquated and clumsy cable sys'

as a motive power, the underground
system to be substituted for the over
head trolley In the downtown district
This will not only rid the streets and
thoroughfavs Of this city Of IN eye.

improve intramural facilities. The pro-
vision which gives the street car com
panies the alternative of running under
subways in the heart Of the city, in
stead of putting the electric wires I'M
der ground Is good enough ms theory,
but at first glance II would seem i'm
practicable on account of the enormous
expense 1t would entail, and the diff
Guilty of establishing an underground
railway system In district that Is al.
ready literally grldirOned with under
ground conduit systems.
The proposition about n four-cent
fare Is nonsense. Nobody Is clamoring
for four-cent fare. Everybody Is will
ing to pay nickel for n street'cnr ride.
What is wanted IL legislation against
Overcrowding street cars and providing
for more of them. With such an ordin'
ance as that In existence everybody
would have seat and be content. The
universal transfer proposition Is, of
course, an excellent one ana will meet
the approval Of the public In general.
