THE BRYAN RECEPTION.

William Jennings Bryan has taken
the right attitude in coming out square
" against accepting money from sus-
nicious sources to pay the expenses of
the reception in his honor in New York.
Mr.. Bryan suggests that the funds be
raised by popular subscription, as the
reception is TO be popular one, and
that no subscriptions of more than 500
he received. He suggests further that
all donations of S. and upward be en-
tered in a book to be shown to anybody
desiring TO inspect it.
These are first-class suggestions ana
,bs committee in charge of the recep-
ton has recognized their wisdom and
oaonted them. The cost of the event is
To be made as low as is possible but
there will necessarily be charges OF
various sorts and all the people who
exnect to be present should have an OPP
nortunity TO bear their share. If more
than enough to pay the cost is received
the balance will be used in printing and
circulating the speeches to be made on
that occasion.
That the talks will be well worthy OF
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-07-28

wide circulation and careful attention
there can be no question. Mr.. Bryan
will doubtless take advantage of his OPP
portunity to set before the public fully
and clearly his views on all important
topics. The public will be given an OPP
portunity to know exactly where he
stands. There never was anything OF
the quibbler about Bryan. He has al
ways talked out squarely and he will
continue to do so. Everything indicates
that the reception will be the most re-
markable demonstration ever made in
honor of a simple citizen Of the United
States From every section of the coun-
try people are going. The railroads,
realizing the importance of the event,
have announced low passenger rates,
and it is expected that Mr.. Bryan will
speak to the largest audience he has
ever addressed, and he has spoken to
some mammoth gatherings, too.

THE TAX LEVY.

The City Tax Levy. Finance Com
mittee Recommends the Same as Last
Year. After Providing for Interest on
the Million-DoIlar Water Bonds
We have quoted the headlines used by
the morning mouthpiece of the Amer
lean" party over its story about the
fixing of the city tax levy for 1906.
These headlines are quoted because
they afford a typical example of re
form" Misrepresentation. 1t is hardly
necessary for us to say that the tax
levy will not be the same as last year,
for 1t is to be increased by 1 mill. And
the increase is by no means due to the
interest on the water bonds or to the
necessity of establishing a sinking fund
for their redemption. Your attention Is
invited to a comparison of the tax levy
for 1906 with the levy Of 1905 as follows:
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-07-28

Totals .................u mills L mills
Note the Juggling of the reform"
financiers. They add three-quarters of
a mill to the water fund, the added
money to go into the bond interest
mill from the sewer fund. because sew
ers were provided for, and the money
with which TO pay for them secured,
by the last Democratic administration.
same. Now note the contingent fund
item. You will observe that 1t is in
creased by a half-mill. Thus the total
levy is one mill higher than in 1906 and
the increase is not made for the bond
fund.
The high financiering appears in the
contingent, or general fund, levy. From
this fund the city's operating expenses
are paid 1t is here that the greatest
extravaganza. the latest grating is
possible. And there is smaller pOssi-
bility of detection. Naturally the re
formers" wanted 70 make this fund as
large as possible, both to keep. their
henohmen employed in easy places and
TO cover their extravaganza. And they
have the effrontery to say 10 an intelli-
gent public that the bond sinking fund
is responsible for the tax increase!
In connection with the tax levy City
Auditor Alff issues a partial financial
statement that would be amusing if the
subject were not such a serious one.
He has estimated the years expenses
to a cent Why he omitted the frac-
lions is not clear. He could have put
them In Just as we'll as not. We find
such figures as s2,929.26, s10S5903 and
s6.sO4.S7 They look very well, but they
deceive nobody, for everybody realizes
the absolute impossibility of figuring
out to a cent the expenses of a big city
for year 1t simply cannot be done.
But, for the sake of argument, let US
admit that Mr.. Alff's figures are exact
ly right. Then. according to his own
showing. the city will be short exactly
siis,ss5.64 at the end of the year. AS a
matter of fact, the figures are not cor
rect. The deficit in the general fund
will be very much larger than Airs
admitted $685. 415.S6 and the street fund
deficit, If the improvements already au-
thorized are completed, will approx
mate $3.50, 900, instead of sSS,512.S4.
In the face of the figures isn't 1t just
a little astonishing that even the $1,000
beauty. Edmunds, and the morning
organ OF the Americans" should
charge the Democrats with extrava-
gance?
