.THELEvY IS MADE
STATE AND COUNTY LEVY
MADE THIS WEEK FOR
FORD.
LITTLE LOWER FOR COUNTY
But a Considerable Raise Has
Been Made This Year on
State Tax.

At the meeting Of the board Of
county commissioners this week the
levy for this years taxation was made
for the county, as follows: State, l rs
mills; county general fund, 2 mills;
interest, 3; sinking fund, 8. It is
probable that the rate will bs little
higher this year than last The state
tax this year is much higher than
last, and Ford county is called upon
to pay $40, ,949 90 for its share Last
year this county paid $l4 ,657 state
tax. If the state Tux had not been
raised the rate of taxation here would
have been little lower this year than
last.
In Dodge City the rate will prob
ably be above l3 5 mills. The state
and county amounts to 4.55, the city
levy totals 4 7 mills, and The school
board will perhaps levy as much as
As mills. Last year the rate was
about IL mills The total valuation
Of taxable property in the county is
SIG, 1859, ,973, gain Of $50O,0O0 over
last year
The townships will experience some
trouble under the new law, which
limits them to levy which will not
raise sufficient for the needs Of the
township
Probably majority Of the school
districts will need more monev than
they can raise by the legal levy, and
they will have to hold special elec-
tions to remedy the matter
The county clerk says that the state
tax this year is higher than it has
ever been before. aud this will make
the rate little more than was ex-
|pecfsd. County Clerk ConnawDy and
Commissioner Mic Mayrath, went be-
fore the state tax commission on
July 18th to go over the assessed val
ulations Of Ford county as sent .he
commission, and they we're successful
in showing that none OF the valua
tions in this county should be raised.

GARDEN cITY'S GAME.
Aside From Few Errors Game Would Have
Resulted Dodge City and Garden City 0.

Aside From Few Errors Game Would Have
Resulted Dodge City I and Garden City 0.
Garden City was here hundred
strong on August /. There were
representatives Of the town from the
Sugar barons and Merchant princes
down to the porters Of the hotels, all
following the Garden City base ball
team, not particularly because it was
base ball team, but because it was from
Garden City, and that spirit was re-
sponsible for the ball team watching
and grabbing at the opening that
gave them the opportunity to win
scratch game.
The game was much Of pitchers
battle, between Clark Of Garden and
Fowler Of Dodge. Fowler pitched a
shutout game and at the close Garden
did not have single earned run to
her credit. Clark was effective in the
box, and allowed Dodge City to got
only one earned run.
Aside from few errors the game
was beauty for the first eight inn
ings. Dodge City made two runs in
the first inning, and Garden City got
in two in the second, and then for
FIVE innings there was q record OF
shut outs for both teams. There was
little show for either team to score
after that, both teams depended
upon something "happening". 1t
happened in the first half Of the
ninth when the Dodge CITY catcher,
without any warrantable provocation
threw the ball away and let ore OF the
Sugar Bsets slide in from third base.
The fact that another one got in the
same inning did not make any differ
ence. One was enough to win the
game at mat stage. III was awful 10
to lose game when the home team
had really the best Of it, and few
bitter tears are excusable, but the
thing is to win the score, and we are
all shouting for Garden City.
The game as whole was the best
exhibition OF bali playing that has
been seon here in a year Of two. The
Dodge boys will go right ahead and
strengthen their team, and they ex-
pect to go back at G. .rden City before
long They are figuring on trip to
Garden just before the reunion here,
and il they go they want to take q
crowd Of about two hundred Dodge
people with them.

NEW CALL FOR WATER
WORKS BOND ELECTION
MADE BY COUNCIL
DATE WILL Be AUGUST S
Matter Of Electric Light Plant
Is Excluded This Time by
the Ordinance.

At o called meeting OF the city
council Saturday night a new ordi-
nance was passed calling a bond
election for voting bonds to build q
city water works, The call for the
election and the ordinance will be
found in this paper.
A letter from Mr.. Theis was read
before the council. II stated that he
was willing to take $4,000 for the
water pipes now in service here. and
The tract Of ground for a building,
with the understanding that the back
bills Tor service be paid in full. He
also suggested that the light franchise
Le settled at the same time. The
council took no official action on this
offer further than to have it placed on
fle, excepting that motion was
carried to bave the water commlttea
continue negotiations with Mr.. Theis
relative to purchasing water pipes
now In service here, at their physical
valuation, as determ mel by three
disiuterested parties to be properly
selected, and with the understanding
that the present company would con
tinue to pump the water until the city
can install a plant.
The bond election is called for
August 28.
The regular monthly meeting Of
the council was held last night, prac-
tically all Of the time being taken up
with the regular routine busin ess.
There was one matter Of particular
importance taken up, the levy for
raising revenue for the city for the
next year. Tax payers will be glad,
no doubt, to learn that the levy this
year is q little lower than that Of last
year it being Al mills this year and
81 last.
The levy as made is general fund,
IL mills; streel and avenue, l; sink.
ing, 8; interest, 8; library, 3 The
drop this year was made on the sink
ing and interest funds, and on the
library fund.
There was some little sewer talk at
the meeting. A petition was in from
the people on Avenue "B" for sewer
age, and the first step was taken on
that matter. The permit from tue
state board Of health allowing the
sewers to empty into the waters Of the
Arkansas river has expired, and the
council has made application to have
that extended. The laying out Of a
permanent system OF sewerage for
Dodge City is question which will
have TO come up before very long, and
it is pretty big question.
The reports Of the city weigh
master and street commissioner we're
read, the former reporting receipts Of
$35 for July and the latter 1868 COL
lscted ON road tax during the month.
The council decided to put the
money paid for auto license in Do lge
City in thesetraet and avenue fund
So far 25 auto owners have taken out
numbers. which brings in sum Of
$l25 to the city.
A new dumping ground is to be
selected and the matter was left in
the hands Of the health committee.

Constitutional Amendments Carried.

A Harrisburg dispatch states that COM
plete official returns from sixty-four
counties of the state and telephone re-
ports from official sources from the re-
mainder show that the schedule for the
enforcement of the constitutional amend
ments was ratified at the recent election
by the small majority of l02S. The re-
turns of Allegheny, which were tele-
phoned to the capitol, showed a msjority
of 5,5l4 for the schedule which overcame
the adverse majority of 4 1856 in the rest of
the state.
State officials say that there is no doubt
about the ratification of the amendments
except number Z. The first amendment
has an apparent majority in the state of
H,l97. The seventh amendment is beaten
over $4,000, according to unofficial esti-
mates. Its defeat will not cause compli.
cations, say people connected with state
departments. When it is determined
that the amendments have been ratified
proclamation announcing the fact will be
issued.
Since the above was put in type the
official count has been completed at Har-
risburg and shows that all the amend
ments, excepting No. 7, were passed with
maJorities ranging from Is, ,460 for No. l,
to 5,6ll for the schedule. No. ! amend.
ment was voted down by majority of
So, ,523 against.
OF the effect of the amendments upon
future elections the Oil City Blizzard
gives the following clear statement, which
will prove interesting to our readers, no
doubt, and which it would be we'll to pre-
serve for future reference:
The amendments which have been
written into the Constitution have for
their main purpose the abolishng of the
February election. The last February
election will be held in 1910. After that
all district, ward, borough. city and
county officers and district judges will be
chosen on the Tuesday next following
the first Monday of Novem Der in the odd
numbered years. Judges of the Supreme
and Superior Court may be elected at the
municipal election, If circumstances re-
quire. On the same day in November in
the even-numbered years, all state officers
are to be elected.
The first election under the amended
constitution will be held in November
1910. Then a Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, Secretary of Internal Affairs,
80 Congressman, 25 State Senators and
207 mem bers of the house of Representa-.
tives will be elected. In the even-num-
bered years, the election will be known
as the general election" and in the odd
numbered years as the municipal elec,
tion." Special elections can be ordered
where it is necessary to fill an unexpired
term of either state, county or munich
pal officer.
In order to work out the scheme of BIZ
ennial elections, it was necessary TO make
the terms of all officials an even number
of years. The Auditor General and State
Treasurer will serve for four years to put
