PROTEST CITY TAX LEVY

A mass meeting of about twenty taxpayers of Williams, who are up in the air over the city tax levy imposed upon the property owners by the city council. was held at the Grand Canyon hotel at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
 Attorney J. E. Jones of Flagstaff, who had been hired by the leaders of the protest movement to investi- gate how the property holder may avoid the payment of the tax, was present and reported. In the first place Attorney Jones said that the ordinance making the tax levy is fawless and will stand the test of the courts, but in his opinion the council had not followed this ordi- nance in levying the assessment. The levy calls for four mill tax on the dollar of taxable property to defray the salaries of the officers of the town and to pay the ordinary and contingent expenses of the city; two mills tax for repairing and improving the street, side walks and bridges and four mill tax to defray the interest on the public debt of the town, or in all a tota l tax of ten mills. Attorney Jones thought that the council had no right to levy four mills interest ta in az much as the town has no pub- lie debt and on the recommendation of Mir. Jones he was instructed to present petition of the several tax payers to Judge Doe praying for an injuction restraining the city tax collector from collecting the full amount of tax: charged against the petitioners.
 The petition prepared by Attor- nev Jones states that Councilman Cauffman who took part in making the tax levy is not a real estate owner of the town as required by law and and therefor is disquali- fled from acting as councilman, and

HE SPEAKSaFOR
GREAT WEST
IBy Associated Press. I

Washington. March 31.-Devoting
his remarks largely to discussion
of the lead and wool schedules. Rep
resentatiye Hamer of Idaho in the
house today, discussed the tariff
from the western standpoint lie de
clared the proposed provision to per-
nit the entry from the Philippines
free of duty. of 100000 tons of sugar
established a bad precedent. and de-
clared that the proposed reform may
mean free lumber which, he said,
would be concession TO a cult of
so-called political philosophy but not
mean dollar in reduction to the con-
sumner. In advocacy of the continued
protection for lead. Mr.. Hamer said:
The most formidable competitor
we have in the production of lead
because of accessibility, including
cheapness of transportation TO our
markets, the abundance and low cost
of labor, and the unusually large
value of silver contents in the ore, is
Mexico. do not think ii eXaggera-
tion TO say that Mexico has within her
borders the richest lead mines now
operating in the world.
AT the present time the lead
mines of that country, owned and
controlled by single American cor
poration, are producing 5000 tons
of ore month or a production of
0,000 tons per annum in excess of
our own
That the cost of production in the
west is steadily increasing each year
and that it would seem absurd to
contend that lead mining can be
profitably prosecuted in this country
without the aid of a protective tariff,
were contended by Mr., Hamer. He
q ha a1oftn that tho
called lead trust" fixes the price of
lead was untrue; that the American
Smelling G Refining company refin-
ed only fifty per cent. of the total
production of lead in the United
States.
Asserting that cost of raising sheep
has increased to such an extent that
the present duty on wool has been
completely absorbed Mr.. Hamer said
that the protection afforded by the
present tariff is more than offset.
Mr. Hamer said that the cry of n
trust" had been raised also by the
advocates of free lumber. He assert
ed that if he believed in the existence
of lumber trust or that the re-
duction of the present tariff on lum-
Der would result in lowering the price
to the consumer. he would vote to
put lumber on the free list.
It is understood that rule will
be adopted providing for the COM
mittee on amendments and the open
ing of the lumber, tea and coffee
schedules to amendment for placing
these articles upon the free list.
1t may be possible that hides will
be included for consideration. but
the sentiment seems to be growing
that the senate will see to 1t that the
duty is restored on hides.
The rule will probably provide for
the reading of the measure under the
5-minute rule during the next week.
This would not give time for the
reading of the whole bill under the
rule.
The indications today are strong
that this rule will be brought into
the house next Monday. fixing April
10 as the date for the vote being
taken upon the Payne tariff bill.

HOW THEY EXTEND
A STREET IN LONDON
Especial to The Sentinel. I


Baltimore, Md. March 31.-Mr.
mittee and one of those who have
tails of the plan for extending How
ard street from Richmond Market to
Mount Royal Station, says he was
impelled to take up the work by an
example of street opening he saw in
London
Mr.. Frick says that Kingsway, a
street in London, was built at an eX-
pense of $25, 100000 through one of
the worst sections of the East End.
Before street opening was talked of,
he says, this street was one where
even intrepid travellers did not VEN
whereabouts of a patrolman.
The London authorities determ-
ined to run street through this dis
trict, buy up adjacent territory and
then sell il to desirable persons. Mr..
Frick says he was present at the
opening of Kingsway and was aston
ished at the change.
Mr. Frick is inclined to believe that
Baltimore would find, as London did.
that when the resale of the adjacent
territory took place the money re-
allied would go far in paying for the
entire project.
So far the associates of Mr.. Frick
and himself have shared the expense
of having the drawings and surveys
made for the plan and they are de-
termined to see that the plan Is given
fair and impartial hearing by both
the city officials and the people.
