TAX PAYMENTS GREATEST
IN LOS ANGELES HISTORY

Delinquent taxes for the past year
are lower than they have ever been
before in the history of the city, ac-
cording to a report made by e. e.
Johnson, city tax and license collec-
tor
For the fiscal year of 1908-9 there was
$S07S,599 to collect in taxes. OF this
amount all but 500, 1876 has been paid to
the tax collector. The delinquency
penalty of per cent. which attached
last Monday, will add $5559 to the
amount still to be collected.

Il IS pertinent to ask whether the
aliens do not so out Of this country a.
ra,ldlv as they come. The next cen
sus is expected - show to what ex-
tent the Storage crowds We have been
welcoming the past few years really
added to our permanent population and
Incidentally whether there Is not an
clement Of national wealth involved
here which "a worth looking after.
Recently published figures reveal the
fact that while ,hree-quarters OF a
million aliens were admitted here last
wear the net increase Of our alien p"pu-
lation was only q few thousand souls.
II Is estimated that those who re-
turned to their native lands during
that period carried back nearly three
quarters of a billion dollars of Amer
lean coin.
Since the issue Of the last census
several million immigrants have come
here. How many returned TO their
own countries IS not n matter Of rec
ord up to last year. The census TO be
taken in 1910 will throw light upon
this question. II aliens come here by
/ the million TO skim the cream Of the
wage market and carry it of to Eu,

wealth in alien labor may be bad
speculation after all. If we have the
