There is no doubt that City Solicitor
Townsend acted rightly in compromising
the actions Of the city against certain
corporations for city taxes alleged to be
due, instead Of prosecuting them to final
determination The city's cases were
very zeatz. and the grounds Of opposition
very strong He had excellent reasons
for believing that he could not get a judi
cial ruling in favor Of the city, which
failure would have been fatal, and there
fore, as counsel who had in view the
best interests of his client, he elected to
accept a favorable compromise rather
than take the chances of an adverse de-
cision by the court, particularly when
he knew that he was standing upon very
thin ice and had no reason for believing
that either the law or the facts we're in his
favor
In defence of his action in accepting a
settlement, City Solicitor Townsend made
this significant statement: 81 am abso-
lutely certain that we could not have
collected one dollar Of the 1904 assess
ment" He is giving away no state
secret in saying this, for it was notorious
among lawyers that the city assessment
Of that year was manipulated in such an
appallingly illegal manner after il left the
hands of the city assessors, that the city
could not have collected by process Of
law, a dollar Of the tax levy made by
virtue Of il. So convinced was he Of
this fact that the attorney Of a large cor
poration which resisted payment of por-
ton Of It's taxation on the ground of
gross inequalities and Irregularities was
only restrained from advising his client
not to pay a dollar of city and school
taxes for that year by fear that hum
dreds of individual taxables might thereby
be induced to refuse payment and the
city be thrown into bankruptcy in con-
sequence. He was convinced that the
entire tax levy Of that year was clearly
invalidaied by irregular and illegal pro-
oeedings in connection with the ASSESS
ment, and other attorneys Of high stand
ing at the bar agreed with him.
City Solicitor Townsend, therefore,
served the city well in making the most
out of a lot of very Door cases.

chioaFo Maklne a Move.

Mayor Dunno of Chicago has called for
an investigation of conditions at the
stockyards and packinghouses in that
city, evidently stirred to action by the
horrible revelations Of the commissioners
who made an official investigation at the
instance Of President Roosevelt.
Mayor Dunno is doing now what he
should have done at the beginning of his
administration. II is not to be presumed
that he was in ignorance of the conditions
with which the whole country is now
familiar A reasonable probability is that
in common with the entire population of
Chicago, he condonod them in obedience
TO mistaken sense OF devotion to the
interests of the city,
But the blow TO Chicago and Chicago's
interests is infinitely heavier than if the
revelations had been made long ago, under
Mayor Dunnes auspices Then they
would have attracted but a passing in
terest outside of the city of Chicago
Now the entire country is ringing with
them.
However, "better late than never, 4"
so far as Chicago is concerned. She may
now take a hand in her own housekeeping
1t is her duty, and not the duty Of our
most paternal Federal government, de-
spite the Indian-like avidity of many
people in these stirring times TO appeal
to the "Great Father at Washington"
whenever anything goes wrong. In the
report which President Roosevelt sent
to Congress on Monday Chicago may
read her lesson, as It makes mention of
admirable slaughterhouse condit ons in
New York City, which Chicago may well
pattern after. The New York situation
was brought about by the vigilance of
the New York City Board of Health and
Chicago's health authorities may effect
a radical reform in the latter city.
Mayor Dunno should make his cam
paign for reform vigorous and effective.
Chicago should lose not minute in in
augurating the work Of cleansing the
Augean stables into which her packing
houses have degenerated.

Hooker says. "Of law, there can be no
less acknowledged than that her seat 'is
