Saloon a Tax Do dgeT


A correspondent writing for the chi
cago Daily News of August 3, throws an
interesting sdelight on the question Of
the saloon and it's value to the taxpayer.
Not only does the saloon raise taxes for
the citizens but it is, in itself, one Of the
most fragrant taXdodgers in Illinois. The
Issue recently published the State Audi
tors report that showed the surprisingly
small assessment levied against saloon
property as compared with other prop
erty. The Daily Ne,os' correspondent has
made some observations on his own ac-
count. His letter appeared under the
"o""' Saloons and Tax Lists
"Last year, knowing myself to be over
taxed, counted thirty two saloons on the
north side of Madison Street, between
Halsted Street and Ashland Avenue, but
only eight were on the tax list, all being
in the Second District Of the Eighteenth
Ward The largest and most extensively
furnished one, at the corner of Halsted,
owned by two brothers who recently testi-
fed at the notorious police scandal that
they were worth over 100000 each was
assessed at the enormous amount Of $500
while many widows, living on the side
streets such as Ann, Elizabeth, Ada and
other small streets, trying to make ends
meet were taxed the same amount
''Farther west there is a large, double
saloon fitted with eXpensive-looklng
glasses, six billiard tables and many costly
adjuncts which seems to have escaped the
eye of the assessor for 1909 and 1910
Crank Brothers were accidentally
overlooked entirely this year.
'sOut Of the thirty-two saloons above
mentioned. there must have been more
than eight worthy Of attention. R. b. >

Answer To Taxpayer.

In last issue OF the Messenger
"Tax- Payer" had an article, sta
ting views of the Farmers Protec-
tive Association and the high wa
ter and the Levee proposition in
our Parish; and he seemed to cri-
ticize the methods that tho At
chafalays Protective Association
proceeded in their efforts to get
relief and protection from the
Levee Board.
Now, by referring to the names
Of tho members of the Atchafala-
va Protective you will see it 10 re-
presented by at least IS per cent.
of the best informed people in our
Parish and this particular ques-
ton, regardless whether they are
farmers or anythings else and it
is reasonable to take tho advice of
these people who has put them-
selves to the trouble and expense
to visit the spot and get inform
alton on the question before form
ing their plans.
And for my part l think the
Atchafalaya Protective Associa-
ton did perfectly right in refus-
ing to let any other proposition
come before the Levse Board
than the one adopted by them.
They arc the Fathers of the move
ment for actual relief and should
not be dictated to by a disgrun-
tied few.
Taxpayer has missed the
mark in good many of bis aeser-
tions, he reminds me of ono who
has swamp lands and would like
for them to stay ovsr-howed 90
that he can get his timber. This
inside Levee from Port Barre to
Jeanerstte will take 25 years to
be built if undertaken with an.
other Is or 20 years to got rid OF
the rain water behind them. All
who have given this any thought
is bound to admit, that it 10 only
oil thrown on trouble waters, the
Levse Board never expected to
build this levee. they only wanted
to satisfy US. with expectations
and push the Leves system on
East bank of Atchafalaya River.
Taxpayer has also failed to
take into consideration homes OF
the people who pay their taxes,
who live on Grand River, Bayou
Chene, Crook Chene, Bloody Ba.

other places too numerous to
