Alderman Foell's proposed outer
dock ordinance is fair and honest
measure.
Essentially the proposed ordinance
provides:
That the city shall grant the Pugh
Terminal Company twenty.year fran
chise.
That at the expiration Of this period
the city may purchase the docks and
appurtenances.
That the ordinance shall not 90 into
effect until sixty days after passage.
In which time q petition for a refer.
endum may be iiled.
That the city shall have complete
police powers over the docks.
That the city shall have duly au.
thorized board to ascertain what It
costs In material and labor to build
the docks.
That the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway shall carry over its right of

ETC., at the same rates It charges ON

That the city shall regulate the rates
to be charged for dock service.
That the city shall regulate the serv.

Illinois is ready at all times to back
former United States Senator Albert
j. Hopkins for any Office he may de-
sire. His boom for Vice-President in
1912 is spreading to all parts of the
state.
Chicago will become bankrupt II the
voters decide that the city shall be
made antisaloon territory, according to
a statement made to Nathan A. Cole,
chairman OF the Manufacturers and
Merchants Association, by Hugo s..
Grosser, former city statistician. Mr..
Grosser said that. despite the argu-
ments that are to be submitted by the
'drys," the annual loss will be $S.-
100000 In saloon taxes alone, In addi-
tion to other revenue.
In his letter to Mr.. Cole, Statistician
GrOsser says:
"The revenue from the liquor indus.
try for the year 1903 amounted to
$7,230, ,039.40, nearly one-third of the
entire corporate revenue for the year.

Col. James Hamilton Lewis can al.

for any position he may aspire to.
Chicago Is the greatest cosmopolitan
city In the world. and the attempt to
make blue law town out of her will
end In utter failure.
The people of Chicago are for Per.
sonal Liberty first, last and all the
time, and the majority they will roll
up against local option next April will
silence the fanatics forever, as far rs
Chicago Is concerned.
Chicago taxpayers must not lose
sight of the fact that the seven million
dollars now derived from saloon
licenses are used to pay for the police
force.
II the saloons are wiped out these
seven millions OF dollars will be add.
ed to the taxpayers burdens.
The Ann Hizer Drys and Carrie Ma.
tion Boosters who have deter
mined to drive all the saloons out of
Chicago have filed petition with the
election commissioners asking that a
vote be taken on this subject at the
coming spring election.
The question TO be submitted will
be this:
"Shall Chicago become anti.saloon
territory?"
This includes the whole of Chicago
and every day in the week, including
Sunday.
Edgewater, portions of Hyde Park
and several other sections, to which
human tank lines run every night, are
now anti-saloon territory.
Everybody knows that, including
collection agencies, landlords OF the
fiat buildings, and last, but not least,
druggists.
Now the fanatical gang have decided
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1910-03-26

Should the city lose this revenue, one
OF two things Is possible, either to get
along without that amount or raise 1t
In some other way.
"The situation would be even more
serious than might appear at first
glance. for the amount collected for
the liquor industry goes into that part
Of the corporate fund from which are
paid the ordinary expenses Of the city,
which for 1909 amounted to 31S,2S9,.
043.76; SO that almost one.half Of the
various functions and services would
have to be dropped II this amount
should be lost.
But there are only two ways out OF
the dilemma-either to raise the
amount by special taxes or licenses
from other businesses. or by general
taxation Of all property within the
city.
NEARLY all of the business lines that
are subject to special taxation are now
licensed and yield at present less than
one.tenth of the revenue from liquor
licenses. 1t seems entirely out of the
question to produce the amount In
this way.
There is one other way left, and
that Is by general taxation. The pres.
ent tax law limits the maximum tax
rate for corporate purposes to 31.20
and the minimum tax rate to $1.10,
for each 500 Of the assessed value
Of all property, equal to one.third of
its full value. For 1909 the tax rate
for corporate purposes In the city of
Chicago was 31.10. with an additional
25 cents for the payment Of certain
bonds and interest thereon.
Under the present valuation of all
property Of 3S33.150.S97 1t would re.
quire an additional tax levy OF 81
cents for each 800 assessed valuation
In order to raise an amount equal to
that derived from the liquor indus.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The volume
of business on the stock exchange
touched the lowest level reached in any
full day for a long time. During the
greater part of the day sales barely
averaged 10000 shares an hour.
The trend of prices was downward,
all leaders selling lower than yester-
day. The pressure on United States
Steel, the copper issues, Reading and
Lehgh Valley was most pronounced,
though in no instance severe, while
such specialties as Consolidated Gas,
Western Maryland common and pre-
ferred, and Beet Sugar were strong
with gains of a point or two. The
whole movement lacked initiative or
purpose. however, and the close was
dun and feaVy.
Forecast of the weekly cash move
ment indicated a gain by local banks
of IS, 900 900 or more, due principally to
the recent inflow Of money from the
middle west.
A statement issued by the depart
ment of commerce indicates the chang
ing of our foreign commerce in the
last few months. The increase in cX-
ports of manufactured articles anu inc
decrease of foodstuffs are noteworthy
features of this exhibit.
News of the day had no market
value. aside from a statement by J. j.
Hill in which he takes less pessi-
mistic view Of the situation generally.
The backwardness of business was
shown in figures submitted by COM
mercial agency, which show decline
in bank exchanges of more than 10 per
cent, compared with last year.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value, $1,459,000 Government bonds
were unchanged during the week.
