Thinks Slot Machine Revenues
Are Not Necessary.
FINANCES PLENTIFUL.
Taxes Are Being Paid and Pen
altieS Collected.
The City Would Be Better Off
With Their Going.

Atchison, Kan, July 1.-THE Globe
says: The money slot machines are not
in keeping with the decency end of
Atchison's peace and decency policy,
and the city administration should not
defend them on the ground that it
needs the money paid into police court
on their account
from the county through a decision of
the supreme court that it was entitled
to penalties collected by the county
treasurer on delinquent taxes, and it
is well understood that the income of
the present administration exceeds that
of any administra ton for years. This
increased income is due to the splendid
manner in which the police department
is conducted, to tax foreclosure sales
under the new law and the unprece-
dented payment of taxes which was oc-
casioned by the enactment of the tax
law, and the preparations for it's en-
fOrcement.
For last year the total county levy
was $245,000, of which $229,7 ,725 has beer
paid, and delinquents are coming in ey
cry day, SO that by the time this years
taxes are due the delinquency will not
exceed $1,000 or $4,000, a third or fourth
of what it was a few years ago.
1t is true that the present city ad-
ministration found an overdraft in the
general revenue fund of about $11, 900,
but this has been reduced to about 81,
900. at the present time, and the tax
suits will wipe it out without the aid
of slot machines. 1t is also true that
the city is building a new fire depart
ment building to cost over $1,000. but
the public was promised it would not
cost to xeceed s1,800. Anyway the new
building has been largely paid for al
ready. Cut out the slot machines.
