THEY STUCK THE FULL LIMIT.
Council Puts Highest Possible Rate
For Taxes

The very extreme limit which the
law allows is the rate the overburden-
ed taxpayers of Americus will pay this
year. Such was the edict of the city
council last night in assessing rate
of $50 per 81, 200, the extreme limit ua-
der the charter.
This rate was assessed after debate
lasting some time
One half of one per cent, ad valorem,
goes to the public schools; one half of
one per cent to the bond fund, and the
remainder to the fluid set aside for all
current expenses.
The usual special taxes will, of
course, be added, thus greatly in
creasing this high rate. The thous-
auds of dollars paid into the treasury
as special taxes on saloons seems to
have cut no figure whatever in reduc-
ing the exorbitant tax rate here.
Not in long time have taxes been so
high as this year, both city and coun-
ty rates having been largely increased
in this levy,
One thing said in explanation by this
council is the fact that between $780,
600 and $50, 600 of indebtedness left il
as legacy by former administrations
has been paid off, and that while the
cost comes heavy now the city is about
free of any floating debt.
This council, too, proposes to pro.
vide sinking fund for the payment o.
bonds soon falling due, an important
matter .also overlooked heretofore
money provided for this purpose hay
ing been otherwise expended.

AFFAIR TO BE GREATER

Invitations have been mailed by

son County Democratic club, to the
members OF the Democratic state
committee, the Judges OF the state su-
preme court, members Of congress
from this state, and the individual
members OF the Missouri Democratic
Editors association for the club ban
quet at the Midland hotel, April 20.
The preliminary work has been d.
vided among a number Of commit
tees, the membership of which is now
being arranged, and when this detail
is finished the final arrangements Tor
the affair will be taken up. There
will be an immense amount OF work
devolving on the various commit
tees, for the banquet promises to be
big one. The club has seen fit to
go even beyond the big plan first
agreed upon when the banquet was
spoken of, and the speeches made on
the night Of the banquet will IN
doubtedly have Observation-Disclosures,
The list OF speakers who have
promised to be present at the ban
quet comprises almost all the men
prominent in western Democracy.
Senator Joseph Bailey, OF Texas;
Senator Edward W. Carmack, OF
Tennessee; Senator's Cockrell and
Stone, OF Missouri; Governor Dock
cry, and to top it all, William Bryan.
The banquet is to be made an an.
nual affair. Neither local nor state
issues will be touched upon by any OF
the speakers except so far as they
may have bearing on national ones.
The banquet is given simply for the
good of the party, the club officers
being OF the opinion that agathering
OF Democrats to meet such an array
OF prominent party leaders cannot
but have the effect OF arousing the
interest Of the entire west in the par
tvs welfare.
