is UP TO COUNCIL
Will Decide Upon Contract for
Fifteenth Street Paw
ing.
CITY OWNS LONG FRONTAGE
Thomas J. Peter Company Has Many
of the Signatures Necessary for
Awarding Contract.

Mayor McCaskrin announces that a
special meeting of the city council will
| be held Monday evening for the pur-
pose of considering the advisability OF
entering into contract. on the part of
the city, as one of the property owners.
with the Thomas J. Peter company. of
Chicago, for the construction of the
| Fifteenth street pavement.
| AS was stated in The Argus yester-
| day, the property owners have the
right to enter into a contract them
| selves for the construction of the pave
ment. provided they can get the work
done for 10 per cent less than the bid
of the contractors who are awarded
the work by the board of local improve
ments. AS this stretch OF improve
ment is along the west side of Long
view park. the city has 10 sign for a
| long frontage. and the matter is up 10
the council.
| Has Many Signatures.
| The Chicago company has signatures
from a majority of the private property
owners. The contract was awarded 10
the Mccarthy Improvement company
of Davenport in good faith
| by the board of local i'm
provements. but the law prevents en-
tering into the contract until 10 days
after notice has been given by publica-
ton, in order that the property owners
may take it into their own hands in
the manner now proposed if they de
sired.
Worth Considering Well.
In view of the fact that the Thomas
j. Peter company failed to bid on the
work. and the proposition of the Nc
Carthy Improvement company was ac-
| cepted the city owes il to all interest
ed including its own. as well as the
successful bidders to investigate thor
oughly the standing and status of the
| Chicago firm and its method of doing
business heretofore conceding the CON
| tract practically entered into. In 9TH
er words the city should be sure it is
striking a bargain. before it strikes
one.

the Revenue.
Secretary Taft, as the representa-.
tive OF the Administration, in his
speech to the Republicans of Ohio a,
their state convention acknowledged
1t to be practically impossible for the
Republican party to economic, for it
had been tried by the last Congress
and still the appropriation largely ex-
ceeded the income He is reported TO

coed in cutting down here and there
SO as to reduce the deficit. but the .ex-
perience of this last session, ia which
the greatest effort to economic was
made. gives little hope that If the re-
venues continue at the same figure as
last year the appropriations may be
cut down to a point where no deficit
would exist
The official declaration that extra
VACANT appropriations are to continue
with little or no effort to economic
shows the ruiuous condition of tine
national finances as produced by re
publican policies, For Secretary Taft
further declared:
There remain two alternate yes
either to impose additional internal
taxes or to readjust and revise the
tariff.
This official statement of the inabil-
iy to sop lavish appropriations
brings the Republican party face to
face with tariff revision. That will
divide its counsels and lead to a fac.
tional fight between the reformers and
the standpatters.
Which OF the two horns of the di.
lemma will the Republican party
adopt Will the tariff be revised and
adjustedf As both these plans pro-
pose to raise more revenue-that is
increase the taxes-;t is important to
the taxpayers to know which will
least injure them.
The republican proposition is either
to increase the already large internal
revenue taxes or by imposing new
taxes, such as the stamp taxes were
during the Spanish war; or to reduce
taxation by taking off part OF the tar
II tax and thus increrse importations
which would produce more revenue.
1t can hardly be doubted which pro
gram the people will favor for il the
tariff taxes are scientifically redu ced,
the government will not only gain
more revenue but tie people will pay
less profits to the trusts by the cores
pondlng decrease in the price of these
trust articles upon which the tariff
tax is reduced. While on the other
hand il Congress increases the inter
nal revenue taxes on those articles
already taxed or imposes new taxes
on other articles the price will be in
creased accordingly which the peo-
pie will have to pay.
How is it possible for secretary
Taft to halt between these two opin-
ions and yet pretend to be friend to
the people' Why the path is so plain
that "a wayfaring man though fool
could not err therein.
