PAYING FOR SEWERAGE.

The business mems or the Repub-
lican council, whichever you choose to
call it, decided that Paducah needed
q sewerage system. Paducah was
then . city Of nearly 10000 inhab-
itants, and sanitary sewerage, recog-
nized as . necessity in cities Of more
progressive ofiice-holders than Padn-
cab had hitherto boosted, had perhaps
never been given'a moments serious
consideration until the business mems
council went into Office. The manner
devised for paying for the sewerage
was fixed by law, not manufactured
by the council. On the presumption
that every man was benefited in pro-
portion to the amount Of property he
held, the tax was based on his prop
erty area, not the value Of the prop
erty. Nobody but an imbecile or
demagogue would claim that the ben
eiits of sewerage or the assessment for
sewerage should DO determined by the
value Of the property to which it is
adjacent. There is nothing to prevent
man with s0-foot vacant lot from
getting just as much benefit proper
tionate with his location and invest
ment as the man with a-5o-foot lot and
a SEQ, 900 building on it. II the man
with vacant lot has no means Of
availing himself of the sewerage, that
is his funeral II man by reason of
the money he has spent has a SEQ, 900
bu aiding, which largely determines
the value Of his property, is enabled to
derive more benefit from the sewer
age, there is no logical reason why he
should be taxed something extra for
sewerage, because he has spent more
money in improvements than his
neighbor. The man with a vacant
lot is none the less benefited because
bis neighbor has spent money for
building and happens to be in
position to be benefited more.
But even were this not true, the law
governing the construction of sewer
age in third class cities says; 1.-THE
cost of seweripg an entire distric.
shall be apportioned among the prop
erty owners Of said district ratably,
according to the superficial area of
said property owners holdings in said
sewer district

holding office, were not cut out for the
jobs. Paducah is itself monument
to their colossal incompetency. II
has been under Democratic rule con-
stantly with the exception of two
years, when business mems council
took charge and managed to get a sew
erage system and few other things,
despite the opposition Of mayor who
is now mayor again. Otherwise we
have practically none Of the improve
mepts found in other cities Of over
20. 900 inhabitants. We ought to have
several miles of brick or asphalt
streets, and the whole city severed by
this time q new city hospital, new
market house, system Of street sprink-
ling and disposing Of garbage. We
ought to have an attractive levee, good
gravel on the streets and compel peo-
pie in the sewer district to connect
with the sewerage. The records will
show that money enough has been col
lected from the taxpayers to have
done it. The reason it hasn't been
done is that the money has been
squandered in paying the salaries of
chronic pensioners who do little work
and get good pay, and in various
other CRAFTS. The government Of Pa
ducah has been one in which the peo-
Pile blindly went to the polls on cleo
ton and voted for anything that was
Democrat, paid their taxes
1t the proper time and then went back
to sleep Much Of the money has
gone to make rich some Of the political
and favorites Of the admin
and here we are today
where we were ten or fifteen years
ago, with the exception that we have
grown. Our clothes are misfits,
shabby and out Of style, and doubt
less IL we knew how we look to
outsiders we would be ashamed to
appear in public. And worse than
that, we now find ourselves without
and with . tax rate Of eLs5.
This ought to be lasting monu-
ment to Democratic efficiency In
Paducah.

1t is stated on good authority that the
president of the board of aldermen,
who was largely interested in the com.
pany to which was let the gravel con-
tract a few days ago, "got out of the
company within twenty-four hours af-
ter he was appointed alderman" At
that time the bids for gravel had not
been opened. The question naturally
suggests itself. was it cut and dried
that this particular company, now
practically owned by . brother of the
president of the board Of aldermen.
was to get the gravel contract, quail
ity and price to cut no fgures And
why is it that this little matter has
never been the subject Of comment,
when city officials were being raked
over the Goals during the past several
days for using their official pull to Sc
cure q private snap?
II is said this company was told by
the former administration that there
was no use in its bidding to furnish
gravel for the streets, as It's gravel was
not good enough in quality to Justify
the consideration Of . bid.
II is q matter Of interest to the pub
lie. which has to pay for the gravel. to
know whether it was the change of
administrations or a change in the
quality Of gravel, that brought about
the present condition Of affairs.

Certain kinds OF black ants have 1T
tie yellow ants which do most OF their
work for them. Once in a while these
little yellow fellows viii go ON strike,
and the blacks" try to force them
back TO work by cutting on their food
supply. n that does not succeed they
will attack the strikers in force or
make a raid and get another gang OF
'yellows' into the colony. But the
newcomers as a rule join the strikers.
The strike ends by the ''yellows" es-
Gaping and founding a colony for

Mr.. Howard Hensman, In his new
biography OF Cecil Rhodes, tells the
following story of the first diamond
found in South Africa:
In 1867 diamonds had been discov-
cred in the region to the north Of the
Orange river This discovery wac
made accidentally. A Boer family one
day saw a native child gleefully play
ing with small pebble that glittered
and coruscated in the sun with I'M
usual brilliance. He took the stone
from the child. examined It. and car
rled II home with him. He could have
had but little idea OF what the stone
really was. for. probably. the only
time he had ever heard OF diamonds
was when he read the old Testament:
but Boer has always keen eye for
business. and. thinking that the stone
might have some commercial value.
the farmer showed II to a British trad
sr named O'Reiily. O'Reilly seems to
have recognized the stone Immediately
as a diamond. and bought II OF the
Boer-after considerable haggling-
for $40. Next he submitted II TO DR..
Atherstone Of Grahamstown-an au-
thority on minerslogy-who unhesi-
tatingly declared It to be a diamond Of
the purest water. The diamond was
then shown TO Sir Philip Woodehouse.
high commissioner Of the Cape. and
was bought by him from O'Reilly for
$500"

DAILY THOUGHT.
TRoUBLoUs TIMES AHEAD.

The argument of the office holders
who have saddled q s1.ss tax on the
people 10 probably: 1--WE Democrats
have gotten into this hole, and the
taxpayers will have to help rs out. "
That,s the size Of it, at any rate.
The Democrats have had complete
control Of the city for over four years,
auditor whatever purpose the money
has been spent. or at whatever time 1t
has been spent, IL is gone, and to make
up for the indebtedness that YVES
brought about by Democratic extras-
agance, and to enable them to con-
time that extravAgance, 1t is only
natural that Democrats would pass
most any kind Of an ordinance. 1t is
surprising. however, that some of our
business men sat in the boards and
voted like bumps on logs-were work.
ed like puppets-into supporting the
tax ordinance. 1t is surprising that
their politics was so much stronger
than their business sagacity, and that
their conception of what was fair and
just for the taxpayer became suddenly
so warped.
There is trouble ahead, however.
Not only are the people beginning to
see that they must hereafter put into
Office only good, substantial business
men who have made success in life
by intelligence and industry and have
some regard forthe peoples rights, in
stead of mere politicians who fill
every department. Of the city with
political parasites, but there is in ad-
dition some doubt about the present
outrageous tax ever being collected.
Already there is s-concerted move on
foot among some OF the heaviest tax
payers to institute injunction proceed
ings at the proper time. They will
base their claims ON the fact that a
tax can be levied for only seven
months, and that the amounts that are
levied for various departments are pal
pably in excess of what is needed for
the respective departments. Both of
these facts can be clearly proven to
the satisfaction OF any court in less
than ten minutes, and the result is
likely to be that the city will be en-
Joined, and some of the councilmen
indicted for deliberately violating the
law, after being warned eren by
some Of the leaders in their own
party, in levying a tax that is both H.
legal and unjust.
The people are not perpetual fools.
They are not going to contribute their
quota Of tax to raise s17, 900 for the
payment OF interest, when they know,
and can show by the records, that only
$e,021.25 will be due between now
and the next levy. They know that if
it didn't require but $4,000 to run
the fire department last year. it is not
going to require sl4, 900 to run IL from
now until January LIST. 4
