All members of the city council
were present at the regular meeting
last Thursday night except Councilman
Priest, who was also absent at the
meeting when the new officers had
taken their seats, but who had quail
fed in the meantime.
The following bills were read and
approved:
Squires & Gaddis, insurance policy
on city pump and boilers, $38. rs.

The resignation of J. B. Holt as
city marshal was accepted by the coun-
Gil, and the mayor announced the pro-
motion of deputy J. C. Miller to the
Office of marshal. He also announced
the appointment of J. H. Morris as
night watchman. Both appointments
were confirmed
The clerk was ordered to advertise
for bids for the macadamizing of por-
tions of Main and Grand streets, the
bids to be received and considered at
the regular meeting on February 18th.
A call for bids for doing the city
printing for the ensuing year was also
authorized.
Councilman Carpenter precipitated
a discussion when he voiced the opin-
ion that if it was proper to advertise
for bids for doing the city printing, it
might also be good business policy for
the council to invite bids for the fur
nishing of various supplies for the use
of the city, especially in the water
system department. This was left with
the committee on fire and water tc
take such action as it deemed best.
Councilman Fulmer, who said he
was new at the business but wanted tc
learn, asked for light as to the present
resting place of the report of the city
Treasurer. Investigation showed that
the report had been referred to the f.
nance committee of the old council, and
was not legally before the new council.
1t was re-referred to the finance com
mittee of the new council, and will be
audited by it's members. The report
was also ordered published, and will
appear in the next issue of the Herald
Councilman Baker seemed to strike
a popular chord when he asked that the
city attorney be requested to draft an
ordinance prohibiting expectorating on
the walks of the city. The ordinance
will be introduced at the next meeting
The ordinance committee was or
dered to have the ordinance book in
dexed.
The following committees were an
nounced by the mayor:
Health and Police Elton Fulmer,
w. M. Priest, j. N. Scott.
Fire and Water-M. d. Henry,
Archie White, H. V. Carpenter.
Streets and Highways. N. Scott,

world today is the greatest financial
proposition in the United States, and
as great affairs always do, il commands
a higher law. In defending its rights
and its property you can not stop to
kick every cur that comes along and
barks: and if you could sweep them
out in other, perhaps mysterious but
honest ways, you are defending and
asserting the higher law, which great
enterprises have a right to command
That higher law song, says the
Commoner, has been used to quell the
conscience of many guilty men and TO
quiet protests from a plundered peo-
pie. Even the highwayman sings him

Notorious as these facts are, republic

ever they are reminded that in 1896
1900 and 1904 their party became the
fence for stolen goods. When they are
asked to put it back" they insist that
because their party was engaged in
the preservation of national honor
that which men have been trained to
regard as common theft was not only
excusable, but commendable.

The Stand Fatters.

The standpat republican newspapers
exult because, under nine .years of re
publican administration. the nationa
government has collected in taxes from
the people under the Dingley law $117,
900, 900 more than has been spent.
1t contrasts this showing with the
four years of democratic administra
ton preceding, during a part of which
time the Wilson tariff was in effect
when there was treasury deficit oil
S135. 0OO. 600 THE figures carry con
viction," exclaim the republican news
papers. Good enough. Let us stand
pat"
There is no denying the fact that
when it comes TO taxing the people,
the republican party is immeasurably
the superior of the democratic party.
look at the expenditures of the last
several administrations might be in
teresting in this connection.
Thirty years ago. under the Hayes
administration. the average annual eX-
penditures of the national government
were S25S, 100000.
Under the Garfield-Arthur admins
tration the expenditures averaged
$256. 900
In 1884 Cleveland was elected presi-
dent. and for the next four years the
average annual expenditure was $269.-
600. 900.
When Cleveland went out and Har-
rison came in came the first great in
crease, the yearly expenditures of the
Harrison administration averaging
1854. 600. 000-almost $S5,000,000 a year
more than was spent under Cleveland
Then Cleveland was elected for the
second time, and expenses were about
stationary, averaging during his sec
ond administration S3GO.OOO.00O 1t is
to this period that the republican news
papers refer when they complain of a
democratic deficit
Perhaps there was a reason for the
deficit Let us see. In 1896 Mckinley
was elected. and under his administra-
ton the Dingley bill was enacted into
law. The effect was to so heavily in
crease the burden of taxation that il
was possible to enormously increase
expenditures, the average for the Nc
Kinley administration being $511. O00,-
900 year-$150, 10000 a year more
than was spent under Cleveland.
Perhaps it will be argued that this
increase was justified by reason of the
Spanish-American war, the extraordin
airy expenses of which make the COM
parison unfair. And there is justice
in the contention. Make the compari-
son with the Roosevelt administration.
