violate the ordinance passed by the city

that he understands the Chicago Great

out of the sale It intends to do so; and

The city has no arrangements for
taking care of such cases as this,
which call for a great deal of human
sympathy, for even a dog should not
be allowed to suffer in this way. and
it seems that some provision should
be made for taking care of unfortun-

went to work to make the corporations
pay taxes on an amount that would
be equitable and just and he found
considerable property that had here
tofore been overlooked. This prop
erty was included by Mr.. Beaumont
in making up his assessment rolls
and the fact that the taxes are being
paid without protest is an evidence
that he was right in making the valu-
alton of this property. Mr.. Beaumont
states that corporations look like in
dividuals to him and that he assessed
them just as he would have assessed
individual property.

Actual Average Circulation

IMPROVING THE WATERWAYS.

The recommendation of the Rivers
and Harbors Congress in favor of a
bond issue of $500, 900 for the i'm
provement of waterways may or may
not be adopted by the federal con-
gress.
But the plan is feasible and fair, and
the amount seems reasonable when it
is considered that it has been esti-
mated by such an eminent authority
as James ]. Hill that at least five
billions are imperatively needed for
the development of the railway system
in order to relieve the congestion
of traffic and meet the demands of
domestic commerce in this rapidly
growing country.
Compared with this enormous sum,
which would by no means complete
the railways, but would only put them
in condition to meet present needs,
the amount asked for by the Rivers
mad Harbors congress is modest in
deed.
Quite as important as the opening
OF navigation on the rivers and canals
are the impounding of the floods and
thereby the equalization of the flow
of waters throughout the year, thus
minimizing both floods and low water;
the prevention of soil erosion and the
reclamation of swamp districts as well
as arid lands; and finally but not least
in importance, the Qualification of
streams. Any one of these objects
would be sufficient to justify the out
lay, and taken altogether they give
it the character of an intellectually
profitable iyestment.
On the other hand if the issuance
or bonds is deemed inadvisible, the
necessary funds could be easily pro-
vided out of the federal treasury by
cutting down the enormous appropria-
lions for the war department. which
are estimated for the ensuing year at
nearly s19O,OOO,OOO.
The bulk of these appropriations
for military purposes would seem al
together unreasonable if not useless
considering the fact that there is not
the slightest danger of any nation on
earth attacking the United States now
or for years to come.
The only possible menace was re.

In looking over the city assessment
rolls this morning, a Daily News rep
resentative found some interesting
figures that the taxpayers of the city
will appreciate.
For instance, it was discovered that
in 1906 the total amount of property
assessed against railroads and other
public service corporations of the city
was $17s,S99.
The books show that this amount
was increased in 1907 to s446,217, ma
king a difference in the assessed valu-
alton of $266,31S. The city tax levy
on this property was 10 IL mills.
The books for the present year
show that the total assessed valua-
ton of railroad, telephone, telegraph
and other public service property is
$427 ,404, making a difference, COM
pared with 1906, of $247,6O5. The as
sessment this year, for the city, on
this property, is II mills. This shows
total actual increase for the two
