The judgment of The Citizen is 80
sound on all public ques tons generally

The Citizen is right when IT says
that a railro pad cannot logically De

The point it apparently oyerlooks is
the TACT that under the present plan
the terminals of railroad are carried
out from places where there is a heavy
municipal tax to places where 10 city

road to dodge city taxes almost alto
