CITY IS IN DIRE
NEED Of MONEY
REDUCTION OF TAX RATE A
BUGBEAR
WHERE TO CUT is QUESTION
Councilman Smith Of Finance Conn.,
mittee Says Necessary Expenses
of Departments Are Far In
Excess Of Funds
TO CUT is QUESTION

Even should the tax rate OF Sl.4O De
continued for another year the city of
Los Angeles would be more than
cramped for funds" declared member
of the finance committee of the coun-
ell yesterday. ION account of the phe-
nomenal growth Of Los Angeles we
seem to be doomed to be a year or more
behind all Of the time and with no
chance to catch up.
1.-THE tax rate will probably of ne
cessity be made lower this year If
read the charter right. The rate is
not too high. Personally have no
complaints against the rate, but of
course If 1t is illegal we cannot inn
pose It, even though the public inn
provements now under way be stopped
and held up indefinitely.
1.-THE only remedy, so far as l can
see, is to change the charter so that a
correct rate can legally be fixed. Ac-
cordlng to the law at the present time
81 per $100 of assessable property is the
limit at which we can fix the rate for
the paying Of the general expenses Of
the city. Above this amount we can
assess enough to meet the payments of
the city's bonded Indebtedness.
Big Sum in Aggregate
"a few cents more mean practically
nothing to the individual, but the fig
ures are astounding in the aggregate.
AS it is, the city is some $1,200,000 short
already, according to the estimates fur
nished by the heads of the various de-
partments. Where are we going to cut
off that amount of money? Shear as
we will we soon get down to what
these departments actually must have
in order to take care of the citys busi-
ness.
"Our work was indeed cut out for
us to get the running expenses inside
the revenue with the old tax rate, but
now that it appears to be necessary to
reduce the rate from $1.40 to perhaps
SLIPS, what are we to do?
"It will probably be necessary to re-
duce the rate this much, but where
will the city get off. The street de-
partment must have more men. The
police force is entirely inadequate and
unless more men are put on the force
dangerous conditions may arise. The
fire department is in the same condi-
tion.
"The rate must be fixed according to
the law, 1 guess, without regard to
what becomes of the city's interests" Z"

Just Discrimination il Railway Rate.

D JUST Discrimination In Railway Rates
All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in responsible way
are likely to agree with President
Samuel Spencer Of the Southern Rail.
way when he says: There 10 no d.
vision Of opinion as to the desirability
Of stopping all secret or unjustly dis
criminatory devices and practises of
whatsoever character"
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking of "un.
justly discriminatory" rates and de-
vices, makes. distinction which is at
once apparent to common sense. There
may be discrimination in freight rates
which is just, reasonable and impera-
lively required by the complex com
mercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have
to deal. To abolish such open and
honest discrimination might paralyze
the Industries of cities, states and
whole sections Of our national terri
tory.
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog-
nlzed in the conclusions of the Inter
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday:
Tariffs should be based on CONNER
cial principles. taking into account the
special conditions which bear upon the
commercial value of the services rem
dered. With the reservation that rates
shall be charged without arbitrary dis
elimination to all shippers alike under
like conditions. the making of rates
should far as possible have all the
elasticity necessary TO permit the devcl-
opment Of the traffic and to produce the
greatest results TO the public and to the
railroads themselves
The present proposal is, as Mr..
Walker D. Hines of Louisville showed
in his remarkable testimony the other
day before the Senate Committee at
Washington, to crystalline flexible and
justly discriminatory rates into fixed
government rates which cannot be
changed except by the Intervention of
some government tribunal, and by this
very process to increase 1.-The tempta-
ton to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
some overpowering and urgent COM
mercial condition. New York Sun.
