TAX SITUATION IN BALTIMORE
Editor of The Bee Discusses Move e.
Reform system In that
City.

WASHINGTON. June if-tspeciai Tele-
gram.)-Mr. Victor Rosewater, just before
leaving Baltimore for Omaha was inter
viewed by a reporter OF the Baltimore
American regarding to the tax situation IN
that city. His interest was aroused IN the
proposition to reform the tax system Of
Baltimore. As a most important step IN
this direction. he believes unstinted efforts
should be exerted to get all sssessable
property within the corporate limits subject
20 city taxes.
Il believe Also" said Mr.. Rosewater.
that the fixed price for LIQUOR license
should be raised to at least S1.ooo per
anum. We charge as much as that In
Omaha. And then all OF this liquor license
money should go to the city and not a
portion OF II to the state as It is done al
present
1T would be a good idea as we'll 20 ex-
tend the system OF special assessments for
improvements. such as new paving. sewers
etc. Wherever a street is to be paved
make Il rule to assess owners Of prop
erty which sbuts thereon a Just proportion
OF the cost There Is no doubt, OF course
but that property tax will continue here
and in other cities as the main source of
revenue; but one trouble in this connection
as II appears TO me. is that doctors. law
yers and many other professional men In
the community whose business brings them
large incomes, but who may. notwithstand-
ing. own very little taxable property. DO
not pay their just share of the money
needed 20 run the city Matters such as
these are worthy OF consideration. not only
In Baltimore. but in many American munici-
palities- All our cities. in fact. are in the
same boat. They have grown 30 fast that
they have allowed resources to get out OF
reach. resulting IN q general lack of uni
formity IN the taxation OF the people,

RUFF GAVE SCHMITZ MONEY
Ex-Boss of San Francisco Answers
Fateful Question in Court.
MAYORS SHARE OF JOINT PURSE
Ruef Pale and Apprehensive While
TestffyinE-Eviden Likely 20
Decide Verdict of Jury
Against schmtts.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 12-when the
schmitE trial was resumed today with
Abraham Ruef on the stand the Judge
overruled the objection Of the defense to
the question that was pending when court
adjourned yesterday. The question was:
Did you in January. 1906 in the house
ST 1S4e Fillmore street. give this defendant.
Eugene z. SchmitE. s2.5Oo in currency"
Ruef replied in the Affirmative.
Ruef said when he gave the f7,5O TO
SohmitH he told the mayor Il was his
(Schmitz's) share Of the 500 that had
been received from the French restaurants.
Rpef testified that he had In January. 1905,
given Schmitz 81 800 telling the mayor that
the French restaurant keepers had paid a
second installment amounting to 1900
Ruef testified that while he was not
positive. he believed he had given 10
Schmitz t25o received from what were
known as little French restaurants"
On cross-examination he said that As
sistant District Attorney Heney and De-
teottve Burns had promised that IL he
made a full statement in testifying in the
Schmitz case they would do what they
could to secure leniency for him.
Judge Dunne's temporary court room to-
day was crowded TO its capacity. as Il was
recognized that this was the crucial day
in the trial. II was expected that RuefH .
answer TO the question as to whether or
not he had given the $500 TO Mayor
schmitz would practically decide what the
verdict OF the Jury would be, and for that
reason the interest Of the big crowd Of
spectators was intense
Ruef looked pale and triie apprehensive
as he took the witness stand He held him
self apparently well under control how
ever. Mayor Schmitz looked better and
seemed In better spirits than at any time
since the trial began, The argument as to
the admlssibility of the pending question
was brief and ended against the defense.
