TAX DODGERS.

THIS Is. THE SEASON of the year
when wealthy New Workers run to
the tax commissioners Office to swear
off their personal tax assessments.
They claim residence in Newport. in
California. anywhere. in order TO avoid
bearing their just proportion of the tax
burden. When they cannot evade pay
ment altogether they swear they have
been over-assessed. and the commits
sioner has no alternative but to make
the reduction.

er may be imagined. therefore. when in
a lonC string of tax dodgers the other
day one taxpayer who had been as
sessed at $4,000 asked for an increase
to $4,000. That taxpayer was a wo-
man. The commissioner was so sur
prised that he asked the woman for her
photograph. that he might frame it
and keep it forever as a souvenir Of
his unique experience
All the tax lodging is not done by
New Workers. People generally when
they are able to- hide goods and chat

them that they are actually dishonest.

Recent CITY ELEcTioHs.

THERE IS LITTLE political sig
L nthcance in the municipal elections
reported yesterday. Gains are reported
by both political parties, but in fgur-
ing up the net result the Democrats
have a shade the worst OF the argu-
ment. The most important loss was in
Kansas City, and it is easily explained
by the Democratic division there. Two
Democratic tickets were in the field
and the election of the Republican can
didates was the logical outcome.
The most important OF all the cleo
tons was that held in Chicago, though
no nominations. except for aldermen,
were made. The Democrats lost one
and the Socialists gained one. Inter-
est in Chicago, however. centered in
the municipal ownership fight This
is a purely Democratic proposition and
it won by tremendous majorities. The
voting was as TO the endorsement Of
the Mueller law
This law provides that Illinois cities
may construct. own, operate and lease
street railway systems and may pro-
vide the means therefor. The vote on
this showed a majority of more than
10000 for the affirmative side. An
other proposition submitted was that
Chicago should at once take over the
street railways there. It was carried
by vote Of 12O744 to 5OS2S. The third
proposition was for the temporary
leasing of the street railways until the
city is prepared to purchase them.
All OF this is most interesting because
it shows the rapid growth of the mu-
nicipal ownership idea. The notion was
bitterly fought during the election. All
the influences the traction magnates
could bring to bear were used, but the
people were mightier than the mag
mates It may be a long time before
Chicago owns mile of street railway
line. but it win eventually own all of
them. The purchase Will be delayed
as many months or years as money
can delay it. but it cannot be delayed
forever.
