Of Mr. Taggart's administrations, the hy-
pocrisy of the claim that the laws were en-
forced, and the bad results of his vicious
policy of making temporary loans and bor-
rowing money at interest to pay current
expenses, while making bluff Of reducing
the levy. which he knew would cause a def
icit II believe" said Mr.. Taggart, in one
of his messages to the Council. that low
tax levy, even though a temporary loan is
occasionally necessary. is the businesslike
way in which to manage the financial affairs
of the city" The Journal pointed out the
largely increased indebtedness of the city
as evidence that the Taggart policy of max
ing temporary loans was not a businesslike
way of managing the financial affairs of the
city. The Journal also showed that the
laws were not enforced and that the police
force had been demoralzed by the intro
duction OF partisan politics. The Demo-
cratic organ called this slandering the city,
and had editorial after editorial denouncing
the Journal for printing facts and figures
and commenting on them to the damage of
the Taggart regime. c. A. Mcguire was
the Democratic candidate for mayor at that
time. In a printed letter he Endorsed the
Taggart administration from beginning to
end, and pledged himself, If elected, to con-
tinue the Tasgart policy. which meant bor-
rowing money en- interest to pay current
expenses. making the police force a political
machine, and running the city on the wide
open plan. The Democratic organ also in
dorsed all these things and called condemn
ing them slandering the city. On one occa-
sion, shortly before the election, when the
''bungaloo gang had made a murderous
attack some cclored people. the Demo-
cratic organ said that, while the affair was
deplorable, it twas beyond the control of
the police department. 1t is impossible to
tell just when and where the bungaloo will
strike" This true then, and it is true
now, when the police force is much more
efficient than it was during the last year Of
the Taggart regime, but now If a triflng
disturbance occurs i'm some out-of-the- way
place the Democratic organ of KeachPol-
ster reform cites it as evidence of the in
efficiency of the police under the Bookwal-
ter adminstra ton. Two years ago it would
have denounced such criticism SANDER
ing the city. Then it called publishing
facts and figures regarding the Taggart adj
publishes the most outrageous falsehoods
concerning the Bookwalter administration
and calls it reform. Queer, isn't it?

be ballasted with gravel or crushed stone;
that white oak ties will be used; that 90
pound steel will be laid; that metal trolley
poles will be erected along a proposed
double track system; the cars are to be
of the three-compartment style, for bag
