Mr.. Jules Murrys company pre-

was a neritorious one from every
point of view.

Then the Democratic sheet goes
on to say something about the al

to be censured for not being tan1ll-
lar with the situation, and talking
on a subject It appears to know moth
ing about. If It would look up the
records, it would find that improve
monts were demanded by some of It's
party leaders over their own sigma
ture, and they with Others guaran-
teed that the cost of this work would
be assumed by them for a given per-
iod. It was shown then there were
no funds for the purpose. but 1T was
further shown that the work was
imperative to save the city money IN

will be found that these same Dem
ocratic leaders and men high up IN
the councils of the Democratic party
were parties to it and aided and

In this connection it can be very

DEMooRATs ToMATYRoT.

An amount of ignorance or error
is shown in a long-winded article in
a Democratic paper that condemns
it without further comment The
article IN question relates to taxes
and the assessment. Among the
statements it makes is that the state
levy this year it "a cents. This
error is so palpable that the ordinary
school boy recognizes it as such
The truth is the state levy this
year is but 20 cents on the hundred
dollars The levies are not made al
together on the old assessment, as
: that paper would have the public
believe. Instead, under the new
laws, there was an additional assess
ment in the matter of increased per-
sonal property, or at least, the per
sonal property assessors dug up
about four million dollars worth OF
: personally in the county that had
never been renorted before, and they
will tell YOU that to a large extent
they were working under the new
laws. It is true the re-assessment
of real estate docs not form basis
for taxation until next year, and no
one who il in favor of the new laws
ever said it did.
There IS no occasion to be at all
alarmed over the rate next year.
This year the state rate was
brought down to 20 cents because it
was found that "a cents on the 500
would raise more than the state
needed. and next year it would not
be at all surprise to see the entire
rate for state taken off except the
five cents for school purposes. In
fact, it is known now that this Will
be done. AT any rate such action is
being considered. Then with the
rate at only five cents, with the Dem
Nocratic claim that the value of prop
erty has been increased to four times
the value under the old laws, the
levy will be but equal to 20 cents on
the old value. Figures do not lie.
and in this instance they show a saw
ing to the people of the difference
between IS cents and 20 cents, which
according to the simple rules of sub-
traction means a saving of Is cents
on the hundred dollars.
Again, attempt is made to show
that the re-assessment enormously
increases city taxes. Last year the
rate was one dollar on the hundred
dollars. This year under the new
laws the rate had to be cut down to
about SO cents, to comply with the
new tax laws, which provided that
the total amount of taxes raised this
year should be only five per cent.
more than the aggregate amount
last year. In other words, if the
whole amount of taxes last year was
sac, 1000, the total amount this year
could not be more than 49,, 800, no
matter if the aggregate amount OF
assessment was millions upon mil
lions of dollars, oreeven a billion;
The same will apply next year and
the total amount ST taxes can not go
beyond something like $4,000. It'll
means that, il property in the ag-
ereeate be valued at four times as
much as last year, the rate of levy
viii be. in the neighborhood Of %
cents on the hundred dollars. Proc-
tically, but little more tax in the
aggregate can be collected next year
