Former Kansan May Get Rich Federal
Plum in Illinois.

Chicago. Aug. 3.-Pos tplaster Gem
eraI Frank H. Hitchcock will be in
Chicago this week. He is to come in
an unofficial capacity. which is taken
TO mean that big federal politics having
to do with Illinois appointments will be
the prime consideration connected with
the western trip of the former chair
man of the Republican national COM
mittee, now a member of President
Taft's cabinet.
There is every indication that Col.
Chauncey Dewey will be made United
States marshal for the northern dis
trict of Illinois soon after the adjourn
nent of congress. Whether his ap-
pointment to the post now held by
Ia1man T Hoy will be made prior to
the arrival of Postmaster General
Hitchcock or delayed until the big list
of changes in the possession of Illinois
federal patronage can be considered by
the presidents close friends in Chicago
and Illinois is "a matter of question.
Col Dewey is now in Minnesota and
is not expected to return to Illinois un-
til Friday Official information as to
whether he has rendered his resigna-
tfon to the mayor as a member of the
board of local improvements is not
available but it is said to be likely
that preliminary arrangements to 6uch
an end have been made. His resignu-
tion would leave the mayor with two
vacancies in the board at his disposal,
ono of them caused by the death OF
Col Henry s. Dietrich.

Arch bishop GlennOn declared that

200 years ago the Catholic Indians
sought shelter beneath the armed

governors of the Carolnas, who, with
the spirit they brought from Eng

here and with the same vindictive
hatred they showed 10 the Irish
Catholics at home.
"The constitution of the United

America it's constitution and to the

SAME TAX RATE.
City Council Allows the Old Levy
to Stand.
Proposal for a Slight Increase
Is Turned Down.
MAYOR GREEN'S PLAN.
Would Provide for Paying the
Bonded Debt.
Triple Election VIII Be Held on
August "A.

Regardless of the fact there has
been considerable talk to the effect
that it would be necessary to increase
the tax levy in order to meet the ex-
penses of the municipality during the
year beginning April 1, 1910, the city
, council has decided that the same
| levy as was imposed for the present
year would answer all purposes. The
mayor submitted two schedules for the
years expenditures one calling for a
six and seven-tenths mills levy and
the other for a levy of six mills fiat.
A compromise was made when the
matter went into the hands of the
committee on ways and means, which
made the levy identical with that
which has been in vogue the pres
ent year.
Although the running expenses of
the city will be increased. it will not
be necessary to further burden the
/ people by a higher levy. The CHIEF
( difference over the present schedule
| is that the sinking fund has been
raised and the judgment fund entirely
abolished.
The mayor in speaking of his sug-
gested change in the sinking fund
said: '"The levy suggested for the
sinking fund, if continued each year
would pay our bonded Indebtedness
not otherwise provided form ap-
proximately 90 years, while 1t Woulu
REQUIRE the continuance of the levy or
last year approximately 40 years to
accomplish the same result: Good
business methods suggest the pay
ment of our bonded Indebtedness as
soon as practicable thereby eliminat-
ing a fixed interest charge which
now aggregates nearly $4,000 an
nuaIIy, but in view of the increased
levy outside the city. I do not at this
time urge the adoption of the larger
| schedule
| There is q. surplus of $4,000 in the
fund for the paying of interest and
installments on improved bonds. Last
year the Judgment fund brought in n
| s1.2S4 of which amount there is
remaining balance. The argument in
abolishing the judgment fund was
| that the city should not have to anti
cipate there being judgments.
The general revenue and improve
ment funds were unchanged. The IN
crease value of taxable property is
supposed to counteract the fact that
| +he expenditures are on the increase.
| The music fund has been raised
slightly, but the park fund has been
| reduced somewhat, and the library
| fund remains the same. 1t was
necessary to reduce the park fund IN
order to conform to the state laws.
The schedule as adopted bX the
council is placed on the bases or - o.
