The railroads are looking for twenty
four missing Japanese who were en-

Kansas City; -Four dropped out on the
way. Finally, after assertions and re-
captures Of part Of the remainder,
twenty-eight reached Mexico, including
two guards.
S When the Japaneses landed they
were supposed to pay $2 head tax, but
since they were contract labor the re-

assumed by others. Now the question

HERO ALMOST FORGOTTEN

finding himself able to answer the his

Yet, but for train of unforeseen cir

would be as familiar to the American
schoolboy Of today as that of Peter
the Great or~even Napoleon Bonaparte.
His name, a century ago, carried far
more significance along the California
Alaska than did that Of either Of those
better remembered heroes. -....

great American advent, Rezanov is in

United States Had he lived five years
longer (according to historians who
have made a study Of his life), he
would have ruled the whole western
portion Of America from northern
Alaska to southern California, from
San Francisco to the Rockies.
It needs little. thought to figure out
what deterrent and 'menacing effect
on the United States would have been

The Tax Lew Fixed.

The work Of the board of tax levy
now completed indicates a decrease in
the maximum Of 81 mills from the
levy for the current year. The increase
In the valuation, however, makes it evil
dent that each department will have
practically as much money as it had
last year and some little more. The
board has been consistent in it's prun-
ing as far as the conflicting exigencies
would permit.
The principle that runs thru the re-
auctions Is that current expenses have
been cut while permanent improvements
have been favored. This is prin-
ciple which the taxpayers will gener-
ally approve tho it is quite evident that
many classes Of permanent improve
ments like public baths and other
things will inevitably bring in their
train increases in current expense for
subsequent years.
The current expense fund Of the city
has suffered cut from 5.94 mills to
400 mills. Other appropriations for
maintenance have fallen a total Of IN
mills. Interest takes half a mill less
80 that it is seen that the whole re-
duction is in running expense, interest
and lower state rate. Permanent i'm
provements while obtaining small in
crease got less than might proftably be
used, but all that the board could grant
consistently with the policy Of keeping
the total rate within IS mills.
Altho the general expense account of
the city is reduced. yet there is provision
made for small increases in pay in the
fire and police departments, against
which there will scarcely be any pro.
test. Last year some Of the higher paid
men in the fire department received an
increase. This year there is to be a
raise for men lower down in the de-
partment. The police force receives
| recognition in an addition Of $4,000 tc
the appropriation to help out the pa
trolmen. It will add practically SIS 9
month to their wages, which is well de-
served. The salaries of police officers
IN this city have been stationery fol-
more than fifteen years. In that period
there have been remarkable changes IL
the cost Of living and today it is doubt
| full whether policeman with family
can maintain it even moderately OF
5000 a year. It is an important ques
ton in this city, this keeping of thu
police on basis where an honest mai
can maintain himself outside Of tn,
range of temptation. The city has NJ
right to put police officer with .
dependent family in a position wher,
he. believes it is not doing right b,
him and where he may fall before tn
insidious suggestion Of neglecting /,
small duty for substantial subsidy
If we expect a square deal from gu
police, and we do and are getting ii
we should give them square deal also
There. will be no complaint because
beginning has been made.
On the whole the work of the boar
Of tax levy, which is always onerou
and never pleasing to everybody, is

agreed-upon policy and as an INTEL:
gent, effort to meet the reasonable e1
