The warwick Republican machines
weakness was plainly seen Thursday eve
ming at the rally they held In the Acad-
emy OF Music. Arctic Centre. The rally
was one OF the quietest and poorest at
tended ever held i'm the valley. one OF
the principal speakers was Councilman
Watrous. candidate for Lieutenant goVer-
nor. Mr. Watrous, having made one OF
his ordinary short speeches, in which he
said he was sorry to leave the town OF
Warwick, ended by making an appeal 10
all present to attend the annual hnanciai
town meeting.
The councilman must have some specific
reason for urging this attendance. IL mas
been a fact for the last six or sever
years that the financial town meeting has
been attended almost entirely by the tax
payers OF the town. This town meeting Is
n good proof that the taxpayers are
against the machines method OF running
the towns affairs. as the machine Is ut
terly unable to carry these meetings. The
property holders only are qualiied 10
take part at the financial town meeting.
Last year the machine did Its best TO
raise the tax rate from 20 cents TO W
cents on the dollar. Councilman Watrous
was among the leaders for this increase.
The machine members as well as the
taxpayers know well that II Is due to the
Democrats and Independents that the tax
rate is kept down and that no exorbitant
sums are appropriated at these meetings.
The taxpayers are beginning to arouse
themselves and take notice OF the cost
of maintaining the schools in the town.
II cannot be said with any degree of
truth that IT is owing to the large salaries
being paid the teachers that causes this
large amount of money to be expended for
the schools. The teachers in Warwick
are among the poorest paid In any city
or town In New England
