NO TAX INCREASE.

Comptroller Player has made statement which
accurately and fully explains the object of the special
election be held Tuesday and which also out
lines the practical results of adoption the Charter
amendment.
He shows. in the first place. that the amendment is
necessary, in order to empower the city to submit to
the voters at any future time, proposition to in
crease the bonded Indebtedness for permanent public
improvements
In the second place, he shows that adoption of the
amendment will not authorize a bond issue.
In the third place. he shows that bonds could not
be issued after the amendment is adopted with
out the consent of the voters at another election
In the fourth place. he shows that an increase. if
sanctioned by the voters at another election will
cause an increase in the rate of taxation.
The issuance of bonds has direct connection with
the election to be held Tuesday. In order to issue
bonds another election would be necessary at some
future time. However, it is the intention of the
present administration to submit such proposition to
the voters within the next six months, Mr. Player
takes occasion to acquant the voters with facts and
plans that they entitled to know. for future guild
ance.
At present. Mr.. Player states, the Charter does
not authorize the city increase the bonded debt for
general betterments in the way of permanent public
works and Improvements. such the erection of
much-needed public buildings. hospitals asyums. via
ducts, bridges and the acquisition of lands for parks
etc" The amendment will supply this deficiency
That is. it will give the city power TO submit to the
voters proposition to issue bonds for permanent pub
lie work.
Two points must be borne in mind in this regard:
First that the amendment will give the city authority
TO increase the bonded debt for permanent public i'm
provements: second that though this authority con-
ferred it cannot be exercised except by the further ap
proval of the voters at another election.
After making these points clear, Mr.. Player pro-
ceeds to set forth the plans and policy of the admins
tration. If the amendment is adopted the city will
submit bondissue proposition to the The in
ention is to ask the voters sanction the issuance of
about two million three million dollars of bonds in
the next eighteen months for permanent public i'm
provements.
The issuance Of bonds to this amount will not Mr.
Player states effect increase in the rate of taxa
ton. Specifically this statement may be inconsist

1t is regrettable that in far too many in
stances people do not appreciate the dig
nifty of labor.
They seem to feel that it is disgrace for
them to earn their bread by the sweat OF
their brow, as God decreed they should.
The spirit that was once rife in this
country that there was gulf between the
wage-earner and the capitalist that was I'M
bridGable on account of the conditions OF
the two classes, has happily passed away
because of the removal of the relation of
master and slave.
The descendants of the master have
learned to respect the wage-earner and to be
proud of the development of talents hither-
to undeveloped.
Their present pride is not in the owner
ship of slaves to do their bidding but in
the independence of being able to execute
their own orders far more intelligently and
protitably than they could ever be executed
by another.
They are proud of their own freedom
from the responsibility for human beings
who had to be cared for in sickness and in
health. and who repaid that care by good,
bad and Indifferent service
They are now proud of their achieve

and in all the vocations and professions. as

Men and women who once whiled away
days. weeks, months and years of their ex-
istence because of their contempt for labor
now feel ambitious to do something with
their hands and with their brains.
They are no longer willing to enter in
their diaries. Il have lost a day" They
have scored success on every hand. and
names have been written high on the scroll
of fame through the incessant labor of the
idle born.
Necessity. the most potent influence in
the development Of latent abilities, has
spurred them on in the race for glory and
for gold as luxury never could have done.
There is a more healthful disposition
toward labor and laborers in all sections
than has existed formerly. The Indifferent
and the incident command neither the con-
fidence nor the respect of any one.
Naturally the vocations of men differ.
Some labor with their brains, some with
their hands. 1t matters not which. Workers
rule the world and carry on the great en-
terprtses that are projected for the devel
opment of the resources OF nature.

In the annals of history there are no

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

The conclusion of Mayor Wells that municipal
garbage-disposal plant should be constructed empha-
sizes the principle inherent the Charter amendment
which will be voted upon at the special election to
be held next Tuesday. The principle concerns public
ownership Of public utilities
Circumstances and conditions are such that the city
should itself attend to the collection and disposal of

opinion remain unchanged municipal electric gener-

amendment is adopted. But If the amendment is
adopted it most assuredly should be- the cty will
have authority to increase the bonded Indebtedness
for permanent public improvements at subsequent
election.
The amendment will give the city the authority
to increase the bonded Indebtedness, within the limits
prescribed by the Constitution, for permanent public
improvements. This authority, while legalizing an in
crease in the bonded debt, will not permit a bond
ISSUE After the amendment is adopted the CITY will
have power to augment the bonded obligation for i'm
provements of permanent character; yet 1t will not
have power to contract new debt. Bonds could not
be issued, after the amendment is adopted. except
with the approval of the voters at another special
election.
Should bonds be issued within year by consent of
the voters the city could build the garbagedsposal
plant and construct additions to the public buildings
which would provide work both for ordinary aborers
and skilled mechanics. However, that is question
that must be settled by the voters some time after
next Tuesdays election

principle point in the Charter amendment Mayor
