NO REPORT YET.

There is a great dead of Indignation
among taxpayers on account of the
financial mess in which the City has
been involved by the wreckloss trans
actions inspired by the mysterious
power behind the City council.
The deficit viii in all probability
reach the sum OF 5000 900. and the con-
trolling power evidently refuses to give
It's consent to the publication of Il true
report, since the City auditor fails to
perform his sworn duty in that respect.
That he is permitted TO keep the office.
though ignoring the law, is but an evil
dence OF the extent of the hidden power
that rules the elected servants of the
people
The plan, we understand, Is to Jug
glo last years deficit over to the ex-
pense account OF this year and pay it,
or some part of II, with borrowed
money, or increased taxes. This would
serve several purposes. 1t would hide.
II is hoped. from public view the wreck
less fnanceering of last year. 1t would
also give the power behind the throne
some more money to control. And that
is. undoubtedly, the most important
consideration.
But the plan has one defect. 1t is
Illegal, The city council has no au-
thority TO create debt in excess of
the taxes for the current year, unless
the proposition TO create such debt shall
have been submittd to vote of the
oil tf.f#cs II ~. -
that large debt was created last year
In excess of the taxes and without due
authorization. To transfer an Illegal
~ contracted indebtedness to this
years expense account, does not make
1t legal, no matter how skllfully the
trick is done. Before the tax payers
listen TO any appeal for aid, they
ought to inquire into the methods by
which the financial crisis was brought
about.
The power behind the throne demands
higher license and higher water rates
1t demands that the citizens pay not
only their share of the cost of sewers
as assessed against their property, but
also the city's share, which, by the way,
is also believed to be Illegal, 1t de-
matnds higher taxes on your business
and your homes, and the control of an
other half a million dollars, or more,
which they ask you to borrow for them.
Well, this is a campaign year, ana
money is needed for improvements"
| No wonder many taxpayers are in
| dignant and regret the day they aban-
voted for the mysterious power that
rules the candidates they thought they
elected. 1t was an expensive error.

no kun CATS.

A proposition comes from the game
commission In pennsylvania ana from
the District OF Columbia. also, to
treat cats as wild animals that should
be destroyed. This is because OF the
birds they kill.
Birds are the only effective means
yet known with which to combat the
insect pests. Tho latter, according
10 some authorities. destroy grain and
fruit worth S7o5,O0O,OOo each year in
the United states.
Certain caterpillars are said to eat
in Il day twice their weight In leaves.
which is as if a COW chewed up three
quarters OF a ton of hay in day. a
larva that consumes two hundred times
It's original weight between night and
day, might be compared TO a human
infant that on the first day Of exist
cnce devoured one thousand five hum
dred pounds of breakfast food. Some
caterpillars grow UP in u month ana
increase their bulk ten thousand
times This, remarks an eastern con-
temporary in a humorous vein, is "as
Il baby grew so big in thirty days
that he would want the Singer build
ing for a playthlng and would be able
to sit on Staten Island and paddle his
feet in Coney's SURF
But there Is no joke about it. The
facts are appalling, and the expert
ence of many parts of the country af-
fords ample proof of the danger in
which human interests stand, as "a re-
suit OF the multiplication of insect
pests
As to eats, a man in Maine has tes-
tined that his cat killed about fifty
birds year and being asked why ne
didn't get n good cat he replied that
the good ones We're like the Indians
good only when dead. a. c. Dixie
writes Of cat that was brought mp
like a member of the family and yet
slaughtered ffty-eight birds, includ-
ing the young in five nests.
The author OF useful Birds says:
IF We assume that the average cat
on the farm kills only ten birds a
year. and that there is one cat on
each farm in Massachusetts (on one
farm there are thirteen, on another
sixteen), we have in round numbers
10000 cats lSill.ag 100000 birds an
nually."
John Burroughs says that the cat
which prowls around at night during
the nesting season plundering birds
nests, splendid climber, good stalk
or and strong leaper, probably de-
stroys more birds than all other ami
mails combined.
1t seems clear that cats should at
least be taxed, just as dogs are, aud
the tax should be high enough to in
sure the destruction Of all these ami
mails except the well bred and wen
fed domestic pets.
The cat looks meek. yet it Is of
the tiger kind, as any one knows who
has ever seen it fall on a mouse. As
to mousers, owls win supply the place
of cats, and will give much better SER
vice. BY all means, let us tax the
good cats and kin the bad ones-those
that are not attractive enough to in
duce their owners to feed and pay for
them.

has no reference whatever to the
church membership question, but
makes the franchise dependent upon
conformity to the law. 1t does not dis
crlminatc against anyone. The Church
members IN Idaho. with very few cx-

der that constitutional provision. That
has been proved. In fact when Judge
Walters some time ago, was trying a
ouse. as a substitute for one OF the

al provision to tho jurors in the form

SEN ATOR HOPKINS.


The fable of the lily which lit upon
the monster driving wheel OF an engine
and endeavored to stop the revolutions
by it's own weight, ought to be called
forcibly to mind by Hon. Fred I. Du-
bols and his i'll advised lady associates,
when they read the proceedings OF the
Republican state Convention of Hi
nois. which recently adjourned. Ever
since the decisive vote was taken in
the United States Senate, by when
Hon. Reed Smoot was allowed to re-
tain his seat. Mr.. Dubois and certain
female organizations in the east, have
conferred their fire upon Senator Hop
kns of Illinois, who made ore of the
strong speeches in advocacy of Sena-
tor Shoots rights. Illinois was
''stumped" for months by emissaries
of Dubois and these societies, who an
nouncod that they proposed to have
senator Hopkins scalp for the stand
he had taken.
The net result of all their efforts does
not seem to have been one from which
the Senator's enemies can draw
much comfort, The Associated
Press dispatches state that the
following resolution was unani-
mously adopted by the Republic
can convention, which pledged the sup
port Of Illinois to the candidacy of
