Want Law Enforced.

A large manufacturing concern in the city nas written a letter to Mayor Ward statlug. that there was great scarcity of labor at the present time and suggested that If the vagrlccy law was enforced 1t was thelr opinion that labor could be gotten easier. It is thought by them that with strict en- forceInent of this law that men of that ealibre would rather work than be con- tinually paying fines on the vagrancy charge. The letter was referred to the Chief of Police by the Mayor to ascer- tain the exact status in reference TO the arrests that are being made on this charge and asked if the law was being enforced.
 In reply the Chief stated that .he law was being enforced and many arrests were made daily on this charge. Last year total of 551 arrests were made on this charge and a great many were fined. The Chief notified the Mayor that the diligence of the members of the force in enforcing this law would not diminish but would be watched Tn the future with as great care as 1t has been in the past. This IS probably. the first time on record in this. city where manufacturing concern has applied to the city for help in obtaining labor.

of the fact that any collector would

OUT OF HIS OWN MOUTH.

In Herrick's opening speech, as re-
ported in the Repository, the following
statements are alleged to have been
made by the governor:
Under the administration of my
immediate predecessor, the general as
sembly removed from real and person.
al property all taxes for general pur-
poses, thereby reducing the state levy
from 2S9 to 135 mills on the dollar
the 1875 mills remaining is all for edu-
cational purposes. The removal of this
levy of 1.54 mills resulted last year In
the saving to the owners of real and
personal property in the state of at
least three million dollars.
THE legislature, in order to provide
general revenue fund, passed an act
known as the willis law to require
corporations to file annual reports with
the secretary of state and to pay fees
therefore. This, together with the
Cole law and the act to amend section
2,745 of the revised statutes, providing
tax upon insurance companies and
other sources, has placed in the gen.
eral revenue fund of the state, without
single dollar being obtained from
taxes upon real and personal property,
for the year ended November Is, 1904,
the sum of $5,610,577.70."
Gov. Herrick, in his remarks, has un-
consciously given the people the facts
that prc"e the charge of extravaganza
that has been made against his admin
is alton. He states that the owners of
the real and personal property Of the
state have been saved three millions of
dollars by the reduction of the tax
levy of the state. He then goes on to
say that there has been raised by
means of the Willis law, the inheri-
tance tax, ETC., the sum of IS 1901, ,577.70.
Here is the very cause of the COM
plant made by those who are opposed
to the continuation of this kind of leg
islation. To save s3,O00,00e, nearly
double as much has been levied on the
uuSlueSS lHleTtSlS VI inc btdlo All
this money in time comes from the
pockets of the people, for, if it is paid
by a corporation the amount is added
to what the public must pay, and it
eventually comes from the people any
way. The voters of the state are op-
posed to this plan of the Cox follow
ers, who, instead of decreasing taxes,
double the amount, and then, by chang
ing the method Of collecting, cry out
that they have done something for
which they should be commended.
What economy is it to save $1,000
600 in one pocket and to spend $500
5777O out of another? If there was
ever a man who was condemned out of
his own mouth, it certainly is SO in the
case of Gov. Herrick.
