Montenegrins, the happy, careless,
Slavonic people, notable mostly for
their poetic temperament, pretty
dialect. indifference to commercial
pursuits, and penchant for 'toting

AN IMPERIAL CITY.


''In ten years the population of
Greater New York has increased
less than % per cent, but the budget
has increased IS per cent. In 1898
II was s77,59O,332; for 1908 1t will
be s143.572,266, an increase of
S13, 150,,176 over last year.
Although more than SEQ. 900, 900
in taxes has poured into the city s
treasury since the LIST of October,
the administration has arranged
with a syndicate of bankers to sell
$50. 600 900 OF per cent. revenue
bonds, with an option OF 0.0O0,-
600 more. New York spends its
revenue before 1t collects the money.
The taxes now coming into the treas.
ury must be used to retire the 1907
revenue bonds. and so the city will
proceed to borrow more money to
meet its bills. 1t is in the position
OF a man who spends his salary nine
months before he earns II and must
then borrow money at a high rate of
interest in order to live.
"The new budget means a per cap
tia expenditure of $40 a year for
every man, woman and child in New
York, or at least $144 a year for
every family. With the most extrav-
agant national administration that
the country has ever known in time
of peace, the federal expenditures
are only sic per capita.
Nobody escapes this excessive
taxation. Those who do not pay
their money directly to the city gov
eminent pay it through the medium
of the landlord, the grocer and the
butcher. Their taxes are added to
their rent ard their living expenses.
If every laboring man in New York
realized how many weeks he had to
work every year in order to earn his
taxes it would be long time before
there was another $4,000 900 bud
get.
while the budget represents the
amount that is TO be collected in the
form OF taxation, 1t by no means
covers all the city's expenditures.
The bonded Indebtedness increases
by leaps and bounds. and the pres
ent annual expenditures OF New York
City must be more than 1855 .OO0,-
900. The interest charges alone in
the new budget are more than $24,-
600, 900, or almost as much as the
regular budget of the city of Chi
sago.
New York is great city. Some
body has called it an imperial city;
but imperial cities are usually main
tanned by footing provinces, and New
York has no provinces to loot-only
taxpayers"
