TAX RATE WILL
Be HELD IN
BOUND

Owing to the fact that Labor Day is
national and territorial holiday,
the city council viii not meet tomor-
row night as had been announced,
but win meet at some time during
the week and fix the tax rate for the
coming year. This will not be over
50 in any event. Il is said, and it
win be as much lower as the council
shall find possible.
! Mayor George Neale was seen by
a Review reporter yesterday and
asked about the tax rate for the com
ing year. He was glad to talk upon
the subject ard nnde the statement
above. Continuing 5dayor Neale said:
I There has been too much talk about
the present city government pushing
the tax rate TO the limit An article
in the opposition paper Friday even.
ing seems TO me 10 have been uu.
called for. We are taxpayers and
business men of this city We are in
office to conserve the interests of the
city and then. too. those interests are
equally our own. We want to keep
the rate as low as possible and we
viii do SO.
You can say" continued Mayor
Neale, that the rate will be high
enough to meet the present indebted,
ness of the city as it exists and to
meet the interest on the bonds and
to pay for the current running ex,
penses of the city government. This
must be done and the rate viii be as
low as possible and still admit of it.
at should be rendered that this
government was bequeathed a legacy
of floating Indebtedness from the last
city government This administration
has incurred no floating Indebtedness,
but on the contrary has been paying
off its undesirable legacy. For the OPP
position paper I will say that this
Indebtedness accrued under a Repub-
l
lican mayor.
I'VE will see what can be obtained
1 from the various licenses and then
settle the rate accordingly. OF course
there was a falling off of city revenue
after gambling was abolished. and this
will have its effect on the rate. The
money has to be raised and it does
not come from one source 1t comes
from an other. 1t does not come
from licenses it must come from tax
payers. That is all there is to it. ex.
cept that We public officials are as
anxious as our constituents to keep
the rate as low as possible"
Mayor Neale was voicing the opin.
ion of the other public officers as well
as his own when he made this state
nent and it can be safely said that
the rate for the coming year will be
kept as low as circumstances will war,

What is to become of the Harri-
man properties? What will be the
progress of his great consolida-
lions?
Will the parts of the Hartman
monopoly fall apart? VIII compe-
tition start up between some of
the lines where it has been sup
pressed?
From the office of the attorney
general comes a statement that
the government will not stop it's
Hartman prosecutions. There
are the cases based on the sup
preston of the Clark road be-
tween San Pedro and Salt Lake,
and the elimination Of Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific rivalry.
Win Harriman's successors per-
sist in the policy of fighting the
great one-man control over all
freight and passenger carriers in
the United States?
To own all the railroads in the
United States-to own or control
e. II. Harriman's con-
fessed ambition, and toward this
dream he worked up to the day
of his death.
How nearly he realized his
dream is not generally under
stood. How far he had pro-
crossed may be seen by this
from the official COM
mission, made after investigat-
ing, in 1907. the Hartman con-
"Mr. Hartman may journey by
from New York to New
Orleans, thence by rail to San
across the Pacific ocean
to China, and. returning by an
other route to the United States,
may go to Ogden by one of three
rail routes, and thence to Kansas
City or Omaha, without leaving
the deck or platform of a carrier
which he controls, and without
any part of his jour-
ney."
That was in 1907. After that
date Mr.. Hartman acquired a
majority ownership of the Hill
nois Central system, became the
dominating influence in the
Santa Fe system, acquired a
bond holding domination over the
the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern, and be-
came heavy stakeholder in the
lines and the Baiti-
m oremore & Ohio.
Asked by Commissioner Lane
where he proposed to stop. in case
the government did not interfere,
Mr.. Hartman replied:
81 will 60 on as long as l live."
Beginning with the Union Pa
cific, some of the roads absorbed
by Mr.. Hartman between 1897
and 1907 were the Southern Pa
cific, Oregon Short Line, Utah
Northern Railway, Oregon Rail-
road & Navigation Co.; the San
Pedro line, running from Salt
Lake City through Los Angeles
to San Pedro harbor ON the Pa
cific coast, begun by Senator w.
A. Clark as an independent line;
the Southern Pacific's two lines.
from San Francisco to Los Ange-.
les and thence through Arizona,
New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana
to New Orleans; the Central Pa,
cific, ogden route; the Oregon
& California railroad, Shasta
also every regular line of.
transpacific steamship operated
out. of the Pacific coast ports
south of Puget sound; also the
Mail line, and the Morgan
line of freight and passenger car
riers operated between New York
city, Havana, New Orleans and
Galveston; the Illinois Central
system.
