While the press Is recognized as the
most potent of all agencies is preserv-
ing the rights of the people in a re-
publican form of government, 1t is a
startling fact that during the last six
or seven years the newspaper deaths
have exceeded the births by 2629
That is, there are that many less peri
odicals or journals published now than
there were in 1901. This newspaper
mortality is attributed largely 10
the denial by the post office depart
ment of the second class rate to pub
fishers who in the opinion of the
authorities violate the postal laws and
thereby render themselves ineligible
to second class rates. The second
class rate is one cent per pound. The
next or third class rate Is ten cents pei
pound. The difference is so great that
to change publication from second
to third class list means practically
the destruction of the business. The
extra cost in postage is sufficient to
change profitable journal to a losing
venture, and to save himself the
publisher is compelled to quit. On
the other hand, the postal department
has been grossly imposed upon by
some publishers in the matter OF sec
ond class privileges, entailing enor-

A Tax Question.

Our contemporary is evidentally
laboring under a deIusion when 1t
states that the tax levy of 81 dollars
on the 500 is reduction of ten cents
on the rate last year. The state and
county rate is just the same. Our
neighbor has probably been misled
by the 10 cent levy in jackson school
district for the bond redemption fund
last year. This liability was then
wiped out, SO it does not figure in
this years tax levy. 70 the property
holders of Jackson school district the
tax rate is ten cents less, but for
general purposes the tax rate is the
same with material increase in the
assessment roll, meaning serious
increase 10 the amount demanded for
the support of the government.
Another statement open to objec-
ton is that within the incorporated
limits of Jackson the late will be
sl.67. This assertion exempts the
city dwellers from the 33 cents road
tax, but assumes that they are liable
| with the outsiders for the 1917 cents
levied for bridge fund. The reason
that would exempt US from the road
tax applies with equal force to the
bridge tax. The city has its own
streets to take care of. 1t takes that
burden from the county road fund
1t also has to take care of the bridges
within its boundaries. Why, then
should city property holders be called
upon to share the expense OF outside
bridges. jackson cannot call upon
the county for help in maintaining
roads or bridges.
If Jacksonites are to be mulcted In
1917 cents for bridges in addition to
the city and county taxes, the
total taxation within the city
will amount to the formidable
figures of 81 81; or 81 cents for the
doubtful benefits of incorporation.
But we are confident that the bridge
tax must also be excluded as we'll az
the road tax, which Will make the
total taxes TX cents more inside
than outside the city.
| The levy of special tax for bridge
fund is something unusual. We dc
not know of another instance in
which this has been done in Amadol
county for many years. We do moi
, find that it has been done in other
counties, so far as our exchanges
show. We do not know ander what
particular law this has been done
J Bridges are part of the highway. The
! tax for road purposes includes the
maintenance of bridges. The super
! visors have usually set apart a por
tlon of the general ruad fund for &
, bridge fund. But this year they have
adopted the novel system of levying {
: special tax for bridges. as it is esti
mated that sl5,0 Will be required
tor these structures this year.
A serious question arises here. The
maximum tax for road fund is AZ
cents. In addition they may levy 6
} special tax not to exceed 20 cents fol
main roads. Now 1919 cents added tc
80 cents for regular road fund makes
521s-which is l215 cents beyond the
limit.

The strike of the street carmen in
San Francisco has developed a unique
situation. For months the strikers
endeaVored by every method known
to them to reduce the patronage of
the cars. They srun buses to take
away business, they had pickets out
to intimidate persons from riding on
the cars, and winked at or melted
acts of violence to non-union carmen
and patrons. Now things are entire
Iy different. They want to force a
settlement of the strike in their favor
by loading the cars to their limit, in
the hope that the United RAILROAD
will be compelled TO take back the
old experienced hands, who alone
they imagine can handle the business
successfully. The spectacle of a body
of striking workmen trying to get
reinstated by overlooking their ex-
employers with business is certainly
novel.
