Is is true that some OF the poor
men of Astoria, men who have mod
est little businesses and modest little
home, pay more taxes, proportionate-
". than do some OF the wealthy cor
porations?
For example, does the Astoria &
Columbia River Railway Company
pay its rightful share?
At the outset it should be said
with emphasis that no one in Astoria
wants corporation to pay more in
taxes than does any other person or
firm; each should pay exactly alike
as far as it lies in the wisdom and
power of the assessors Office to as
sess each alike, and as far as it lies in
the wisdom and power of the other
officials to formulate an entirely
equitable levy. Nevertheless there

PLEADS FOR HORSES.
Mrs. Theodore Thomas Addresses
Council of Transfers.

Chicago, Feb. 26.-Mrs. Theodore
Thomas, widow of the world famous
orchestra leader, pleaded with the
teamsters of Chicago last night in be-
half of their hoses. While draught
animals that had hauled heavy loads
over the slippery streets rested in
their stalls, Mrs. Thomas urged before
the teamsters' joint council restric-
lions and regulations favorable to the
teamsters' horses.
Mrs. Thomas addressed the team
sters at their headquarters and asked
cooperation In doing away with the
practice of overlooking wagons en-
gagged in heavy teaming- She asked
teamsters to assist in preparing an
ordinance to be presented to the city
council regulating the tonnage team
sters may be permitted to haul.
Superintendent Hugo Krause OF the
Chicago Anti-Cruelty society also ad-
dressed the teamsters in support of the
plan suggested. The teamsters prom
Used to do all In their power to assist
Mrs. Thomas, but blamed the barn
bosses and employers for the apparent
cruelties.
Many said abuses would be correct
ed If the city council would limit the
tonnage per horse that could be haul
ed through the streets.
