There is hot time brewing over
the failure of the city administra-
ton to complete on time the water
works improvements ordered last
summer.
Last night the board Of public
works in report to the city coun-
Gil tried to explain the cause Of the
delay in the work, but the expiana-
tion was so weak that Councilman
Shaefer arose on the floor Of the
council and demanded an official
investigation as to the cause of the
inaction.
Shafer was riehtfuIly indignant
over the situation, and on his sug-
gestion the city council will meet in
special session next Tuesday night
to see where the blame belongs.
The board Of public works and the
contractor have been ordered to be
present.
CONTRACTOR BLAMEs BOARD.
1t develops that all work has
stopped on the Audubon standpipe
in Greene's addition owing to a
difference as to wages. The car
penters wanted the new scale, So
for eight hours, and laborers So per
day and Contractor Huetter refused
to pay it. Huetter rendered the
men the old scale, $3.50 for car
penters and $2.15 for laborers and
told them to go to the board of
public works for the difference.
Huetter's contract was taken un-
der the old wage scale, in force be
fore April /.
Huetter says he is not to blame
for the delay in the water works
improvements. He is preparing to
show that he received orders from
the board of public works to call off
the work although the board fails
to mention this in its report. Huet-
ter says that he is under the orders
Of the board and not the city coun-
ell. which is true. The board, how
ever. is under orders from the coun-
ell and amenable to it. and is sup
posed to go ahead with work when
once ii is ordered, the money pro-
vided and the contract let. Huetter
says that the city must now stand
the increased cost of building the
standpipes and reservoir or he will

Wealth and Taxes.

The taxation OF large fortunes Is the
issue above all issues in the English parlia-
mentary campaign. There are other acute
questions. such as extended home rule FOR
Ireland, several propositions Of labor Iegis-
Iation, a system of public schools in place
OF church and paroch!al schools. and
church disestabl!shment But II Is the
contribution to be levied BY the state upon
accumulated wealth that overtops all
other topics in interest. not alone IN
Great Britain, but throughout the civil
tied world. The Liberal budget rejected
by the House Of Lords would levy about
S6o,00O000 a year upon incomes. exceeding
$4,000 year. This proposition IS based
upon the theory that the rich can and
should pay a larger share of the growing
needs Of government than the men OF
salaries, of wages, Of professions. and OF
minor business. The accumulation Of
capital has progressed in many nations.
With its growth has spread the belief that
large fortunes pay lower taxes, escape
more public burdens. and enjoy more ad-
vantages and opportunities for adding
unto themselves even more than is fust
and equitable 10 wealth more widely dis
tributed In other forms.
If the proposed British taxes were levied
in the United States, they would Weld. #
is calculated not much less than s15OOcO.-
600 Of revenue a year, and perhaps more.
II the Liberal plan goes through. and II
the experiment is successful in Welding
public income, checking the cumulative
growth Of fortunes and beneftlng the gen.
eral condition of society, the influence of
the example viii make itself felt else
where. The trusts and the corporations
may not escape, but public attention IS
likely to be diverted TO the plan OF levy
ing special taxes upon those incomes IN
excess OF the demands, not merely OF COM
fort, but OF reasonable luxury.

The Establishment of the Penny Post,

To-day is the anniversary day OF the
establishment of the penny post by Sir
Rowland Hill and the use or the modern
postage stamps on letters. It seems al
most incredible, in view of the fact Of the
great number of stamps used to-day, that
II was only in 1910 that postage stamps
came into use on January TO- That is
only seventy years ago, and to-day hun
dreds of millions of stamps are daily
placed upon letters.
Sir Rowland first made the suggestion
IN 1857 in a brief setting out improvements
IN the postal system Of England in the
following words: Perhaps the Difficult
ties might be overcome by using a bit OF
paper large enough TO bear the stamp,
and covering the back with a glutinous
wash, which. by applying a little mois-
ture. might be attached to the back of
the letter"
