Never again will there be such a

not so long as the printed page

besieged by the printed word, and
they surrendered. At least, they
are surrendering. The king of Eng

TIME TO ,SLACKEN
PACE A LITTLE

Councilman j. T.. Phillips
sounded note Of warning in the
council meeting Monday evening
which it would be well TO heed i.
When he spoke of endeavoring TO
hold in check and reduce the
bonded indebtedness of the city,
he voiced not only his own senti-
ments but those of many of the
citizens and number of the bust
ness men.
The study of a few figures will
prove interesting to the taxpayers
and will convince that council has
been going rather rapid gait
and that it is time TO slacken
speed just a little. The total
bonded indebtedness of the city is
$552, ,498. .58. OF this amount $685.
$50 is. general bonded indebted
ness while the remaining $298,648. :

bonds. During the past year there

the special bonded indebtedness of
S1OS,5OS. This large increase In
the city's debt is partly account
ed for by the fact that three park
sites were purchased.
The total of the city's tax du-
plicate now reaches $6,710,600, and
the law stipulates that the general
bonded indebtedness OF the city
shall not be increased in any one
year to exceed one per cent Of
the tax duplicate. This means
that with the duplicate at $6,710,-
500, the indebtedness can be in
.reased only $67,1O6. Last year the
increase was within $4,000 of the
limit. The law also stipulates that
the debt Of the city shall not be
increased to such an extent that
the tax rate shall not exceed four
per cent. The tax rate in the city
now has almost reached that point,
being 80 per cent. 1t is also stated
by prominent city official that
% meet all of the demands the
rate even now, should be nearer
live, than four per cent.
With condition like this con-
fronting the taxpayer it is little
wonder that some have arisen and
sought to reduce the debt of the
citv.
1t is true that the officials are
meeting with little or no difficulty
in disposing OF the bonds. The
credit of the city has not been
impaired in the least. In fact the
bonded indebtedness, both general
and special does not come very
close to the point which the city
will stand, but this is not the ques-
tion involved. Council should en-
deavor to see how far it can stay
away from the danger line instead
of how close it can come to it.
With a progressive city like
Marion, it is impossible to stop
and maintain the
healthy growth and we do not
want to be considered as advocat-
ing cessation of needed i'm
lrovsments. Whatever is neces-
sary to the growth of the city
and the prosperity and welfare of
its people should be done, but
there have been some steps taken
which should be retraced, or if
that be impossible the councilmen
should learn by the past and
avoid like errors in the future.
The wholesale paving of South
Prospect street is sample. This
will serve to illustrate the posi-
ion OF the entire city. Residents
