deficits. Extravaganza and political graft
cost the city Of New York $50, 900, 900 a
year. The mayor of Boston estimates
that thirty-six million dollars indebted
ness of that city represents the expense
of special benefits which should have
been paid by the persons and corpora
lions which have enjoyed them. The in
vestigations of the Boston finance COM
mission have shown how the city has
been robbed in other ways-t through paw
ing contracts, the operation of rock crush
ers, etc. Unfortunately grating is not
confined to the large cities, but is found
on a corresponding scale in the smaller
places. Streets, which belong to the
public, are given over to corporations for
electric railways, electric lighting and
other purposes, and if there is any con-
sideration therefor it does not reach the
public treasury. Mr.. Clarkin makes the
assertion that, with careful management,
and the city getting its share Of the prof
it's of public utility franchises, licenses,
etc, New York city, by 1925, could be
run without general tax. In disposing
of franchises estimated as worth $780,
900, 900, the city of New York got moth
ing. Glasgow, Scotland, owns and oper-
ates its tramways and last year, after
deducting every expense-interest on
capital, sinking fund, depreciation, in
come tax, etc.,-it still turned in a net
profit of 1884, 665 to the city. 'The Chi
cago PLAN of operating street railways
produced 81, PIT, 900 city revenue last year.
Chicago also picks up $780, 900 year for
awnings, signs, etc, which project out
over the street contrary to the city ordi-
nances. Los Angeles took over the city
water works five years ago and since
then the cost of water has been reduced
to third of what San Francisco pays,
and out of the profits four million dollars
have been expended for the benefit of the
people. Fifteen hundred towns and vii
lagos of Germany are supported by the
rentals of city-owned property and the
inhabitants pay no taxes.

The time for receiving referendum pc
titions expired at midnight, July End, and
all the measures passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature have become law
with the exception of the Portland bridge
bill, so-called, the act to divide the town
of York and to establish the new town of
Gorges and the bill to place in the class
with intoxicating liquors all such for the
sale Of which federal license is required
and which would include Uno, lithia, al
water and hop tonic. The referendum
on the resolve for the addition to the
State house and the bill to exclude the
automobile from Bar Harbor failed of
getting the necessary 10000 names for a
referendum to the people. In fact, there
was not petition on file in the Office of
the secretary of state at midnight on the
Bar Harbor bill and but rising $500 on
the State house resolve. We are glad to
note that Waldo county did not take part
in this referendum business. A prominent
State official, who is in a position to
know, says that this referendum will cost
the State of Maine 100000 the present
year The fact is that all the contract
work of the State, charging the State
House, remodeling the two insane hospi-
tails and all of the public work of the
State would have been under contract
and work would have begun early ir
April had it not been for the referendum
which delayed the letting of any contracts
until on or after July LIST, and had the
work begun April LIST, as it would but fol
this law, the buildings would have beer
completed and the State have occupied
them and the work could have been dom
great deal cheaper if performed in tn

will now necessarily have to be done.

s4LOO For q Red Bird!

AS told by the Game Commission
er:
Two of our deputies, scouting
along the Wabash river south OF
Terre Haute a few days ago, met
with an incident which illustrates
not only the cruelty of certain
class of hunters. but the prompt
ness with which the deputies a t.
They found two camps about a
quarter of mile apart on the IL
YER bank, and according to their
custom called at them. The flrst
camp they found deserted, but
discovered redbird in a cage
hanging to the branch of a tree
They released the bird, which
flew in the dirc ction of the other
camp. A few minutes later the
deputies heard a shot in the dir
ection in which the bird had flown
and went out to investigate.
they found hunter calmly cut,
ting into small bits redbird
which he had just shot, presum-
ably the bird which had just
been released. The hunter ex-
planned that he belonged ID the
lower camp where he had a trot
line stretched across the river
and that he was going to use the
flesh of the bird he had just kill,
ed for bait. The deputies placed
him under arrest, and his bait
cost him Sal in a Justice court.
