BUDGET COMMITTEE
CONCLUDES EFFORTS
TAX RATE PROBABLY WILL BE
INSIDE 85 CENTS
City Must Pay $500, 900 in Interest and
Sinking Fund This Year,
Which Will Increase
Burden

With a sigh of relief that was al
most a prayer of thankfulness, the
budget committee made the final slash
in department estimates yesterday
morning and turned the bleeding, dis
membered Carcasses over to the
auditor to have the totals footed and
the percentages made out. When the
whole work is complete. as it will be
by this morning, it is expected the tax
rate will be inside the S5-cent maxi
mum on which the budget committee
have set their mark. This S5-cent rate
does not include the interest and sink
ing fund on bonds for which extra
provision must be made.
The city will have to arrange to pay
$4,000 in interest and sinking fund
this year. This is double what it would
have been had the sinking fund been
set aside last year, but the budget
committee last year made no provision
for this sinking fund. The committee
was acting on a legal opinion that 1t
was not necessary to set aside any part
of the sinking fund until the seventh
year, when the first portion OF the
bonds mature. But the supreme court
has held that in forty-year bonds such
as the owens river securities, the sink
ing fund to redeem the bonds must be
set aside, one-fortieth each year
Furthermore, the city has been notl-
fed by the water department that 1t
cannot expect help from that depart
ment this year in the matter of paying
interest on the bonds. The water de-
partment gave material help last year
and paid this interest, and because OF
this fact the property owners did not
know. by any increase in the amount
of taxes they had to pay, that the
water bonds cut any figure.
The hudget is expected to be ready
for the CITY council when it meets this
morning and a hard fight is expected on
some of the sections Of the report

EIGHT MORE CANDIDATES
TAKE OUT THEIR PAPERS
~Scotty" Allen, Martin 5etkouski and
Desery Robinet Are Among Listed
Boosters for City Council

Eight more persons who believe they
would look well in city offices took out
petitions from the city clerk yesterday.
They are j. Scott (Scotty) Allen, Harry
Lyon, F. r. Pitney, NJ. F. Betkouski,
Desery Robinet, the Socialist Labor
party, Silas A. Austin and c. H. Hance,
All except Captain Hance want to be
councilmen. Hance wishes to be re-
turned to his position as city treasurer.
Councilman Henry Lyon, who is a
candidate to succeed himself and whose
petition is being circulated, fears that
the entrance of Harry Lyon into the
field may have some effect on his sup
port. Henry" Lyon is sometimes called
Harry" by his friends, and with two
such similar names on the ticket some
of the votes intended for Henry Lyon
may be given to Harry Lyon. The re-
verse is true as Harry Lyon has many
friends of his own and is indorsed by
the Jewish voters for the place in the
council,

REQUEST FOR BANNER
PULLING TO BOARD
PUBLIC WORKS BODY IS IN A
QUANDARY
George A. Smith Wants to Swing Flag
Across Street-Other Candi-
dates May Make Same
Request

By making application for a banner
across the street in front of his office
near Second street and Broadway,
George A. Smith, candidate for mayor,
has set the board of public works
guessing.
The board has tried to keep the
streets as free from banners as posi-
Bile, but has granted requests for street
banners to be located in front of the
headquarters of an organization al
most invariably. During the last cam
paign the board granted permission for
the various political parties to stretch
banners across the streets in front of
their headquarters.
But for this municipal campaign
there will be no political parties. 1t is
every man for himself, and under the
direct primaries every man who ever
had any political aspirations is trying
to get into the game. viii they all
want the privilege of stringing banners
across the street? This is what has
set the board to guessing, and until
they have answered this riddle to their
satisfaction they will not tell Mr.. Smith
whether or not he can have his banner

COMMISSION URGED FOR
ALL PUBLIC UTILITIES
Two Plans Ready for Submission to
the City Council When 1t Con-
venes This Morning

When the council meets at 10 O'CLOCK
this morning to finish the work uh-
done Tuesday by their unexplained de-
termination to adjourn, one of the most
important things for consideration viii
be the matter of the establishment of
a public utilities commission.
Two proposals are before the council,
one submitted by Councilman Lyon and
the other "A tentative compromise meas
ure that may receive support. The Lyon
method is for a commission of five, two
members to be appointed by the coun-
ell and one each by the chamber of

league. These five men are to work
without compensation, as the other
do, but are authorized to
employ a secretary, accountant and en-
gineer who shall give their entire time
to the public utilities question.
The alternative proposition is for
commission of three who will be COM
posed of an accountant, an engineer
and a secretary and have the full re-
sponsibility.

Congress and the President.

In the estimation Of many citi-
zens the response of the House to
the wanton Insult of President
Roosevelt was too mild and for.
bearing in its terms. When the
President trumpeted 70 the world
his indirect charge that the Cen
gress Of the United States is of
such character that it dreaded the
searchings Of his secret police the
provocation was deep enough to
warrant the most vehement reply
of which the English language is
capable. But it is we'll that the
ouse has not been tempted to fol-
his example. BY laying his
.rding message on the table as
o., worthy OF consideration the
= ,use has administered to their au-
tor the fitting rebuke the occasion
demanded. The moderate, re-
strained and dignihed terms of the
resolution repelling the attack upon
the power of the representatives of
the nation were in perfect keeping
with the act. The House did not
forget what is. due the Office OF Pres
ident and the relations of courtesy
that should subsist between the de-
partments of this Government.
This deliberate parliamentary
course of the House in defense of
the integrity OF Congress, so much
i'll contrast with one or two angry
scenes during the administration OF
President Johnson, cannot but be
gratifying to ali true friends of
popular government. If it was a
tactical blunder of Roosevelt to
perpetrate his assault upon Con-
gress as his power was drawing to
an end, he knew full well that no
time WIS left for formal impeach.
ment of a high misdemeanor. In
his blind rage he has severed the
relations between the legislative
and executive departments of the
nation, to be resumed only on the
Inauguration of his good.tempered
and prudent SUI cessor. He. has
succeeded also in affording the
proof that whatever may be the
shortcomings and faults Of Con
gress on matters of legislation, il
will not submit to wanton imputa'
tions upon its integrity from any
quarter. This is one important
service which President Roosevelt
has gratuitously done for Congres.
and the country as his Administra
tion draws to stormy and violen
close. e.-Ree0rd.

Jobs For EX-Presidents.
Senator mScteay Of Kentucky. Wants Con.
gress 10 Act.

To insure against an ex-presi-
dent of the United States being
out of job" Senator McCreary,
of Kentucky, will make an effort
before the close of the present ses-
sion Of congress to have enacted his
bill providing that former execu-
tives may be appointed as members
of international commissions and
representatives OF the United States
at conferences having to do with
foreign affairs.
The bill has been referred to a
subcommittee of the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations and sew
eral meetings have been held to
consider it. While it is likely the
measure will be reported from the
committee, it is not thought that it
will pass the senate.
As one of the arguments against
the bill it was pointed out in the
committee that for at least four
years 10 come it would apply only
to Mr. Roosevelt, who already has
taken steps in the mapping out OF
an active future for himself. The
preamble to the McCreary bill sug-
gests Pan-American conferences
and conferences at The Hague. 1t
sets forth that proper representa-
ton of the United States at such
conferences calls for such great fa-
miliarity with and mastery of the
questions to be discussed that ex.
presidents are eminently qualified
to represent the nation.
