CLERK Gets SQUARE
WITH TAX-DODGER

One taxpayer who managed TO beat
the city out OF small sum last year
would be very unhappy If he could
know that the clerks in the taY-receiv-
ing division have gotten even with
him. This taxpayer benefited to the
extent of about s25 by an error in
footing up his list last year. lie was
asked TO make good several times but
refused, and the clerk who made the
error had to settle the difference out
OF his own pocket. He was not asleep
this year. however. and when the list
came In this year, he made another
error In footing. This time the taA-
payer did not notice 1t and paid with
out murmur.
The clerk is chuckling because he
has his S25 back.

amy company, If i9dOraed by the pee
pic ne prop 1scs - submit also an
alternative plan-straisht municipa,
ownership.
Mr. Dust figures that the first plan
would give to the people OF Detroit
conditions which would prove alto
gether acceptable, and which he be-
lieves a carefully-conducted and hon.
estly-capitalized company could afford
to give, but In the event of no con-
Germ coming forward to operate under
these terms he proposes that the city
engage in the street railway business
on it's own behalf.
Here is Mr.. Dust's statement:
Under the new constitution which
will be adopted, the settlement of the
street car problem is put squarely up
to the people themselves. No fran
chise may be granted except with the
approval of threefifths of those vot-
ing, including women taxpayers. The
city may own and operate its street
railways upon the approval of like
number OF citizens.
"If | am elected mayor, | shall take
steps Immediately TO submit to the
people two propositions:
First, an ordinance providing
for a franchise Of not more than
IS years, beginning at the expira-
ton Of the first Of the present
franchises and expiring cotern,in-
ously upon all lines; ID flat three
cent-fare rate Of five tickets for
IS cents, universal transfers, ad
vaiorem taxation, the absolute con-
troll of the service by the city, and
the option Of taking over the
property at the end Of the term
at an appraised valuation.
Second, an ordinance empower
ing the city TO acquire and oper.
ate the street railway lines and
TO issue mortgage bonds there
for, secured by the property and
revenues Of the plant and fran
chise running not more than IS
years, this power to be used only
in the event Of any company fan.
ing to accept the terms Of the
ordnance
Il believe the people would approve
OF both propositions by the requisite
majority. would then submit the
ordinance TO the company for accept
ance. The company, having demon.
strated that II can run part OF Its
| lines upon a three-cent basis, and the
rest of it's lines upon a three-cent bas
is for part of the \time. and still pay
Interest upon a capitalization greatly
in excess OF the actual value OF It's
property, and facing the inevitable al
tentative of accepting the franchise
or OF being left with a useless equip
ment upon its hands. would come In
under the ordinance. IL not, some
other company will. for the people
have given absolutely convincing evi
dence that they will approve OF no
franchise at greater than a three

why the Herald is more literally

Do the people think that the
business men Of klamath Falls

advertisements.
It is rightly conceded that the
greatest of all factors today for
the encouragement Of right

FRIDAY MAY 90. ips

The Herald has been asked by

accord to them all the rights and
privileges which are given to
every free American citizen.
We will even concede to them
the right to publish anything in

sire. They claim the right to
meet the bitter personal at

and as long as it is their fight
not ours. we cheerfully admit it
is none of cur business.
We do not believe that the sa.
loonmen mean, it in just that
way and we have not so inter-

doubt feel that the Herald has
unjustly criticised their action.

will see that it was only friendly

all matters pertaining to the
city's affairs. We have found
out long ago that it pays to be
