of brigandage and vandalism in
cident to the revolution lead by
Francisco /. Madero and deter
mined to protect the property Of
the Diaz government at any cost,
this week will see the beginning
of pitiless war of determination
against the so-called lawless ele-
ment.
Resurrecting a provision OF the
Mexican constitution not used for
fifteen years the government will
set aside for six months a person
al guarantee. Those detected in
the act of highway robbery, raid
ing villages or farms, train wreck
ing, cutting telegraph and tele-
phone wires or even removing
spikes from railroad tracks, or
throwing stones at trains, will be
summarily shot by those making
the arrests. Today a bill an
nouncing that this provision will
be Immediately effective was
signed by Miguel Macedo, Seere-
tary of the Department of the
Interior, and it clearly states that
its enactment is the wish of Pres
ident Diaz.
Carried Out TO Letter
Minister of war, Cosio said to-
day that the order makes the ac-
tion of executives more effica-
cious. Armed men along com
mon highways will be doubled

System Of Taxation.

Our uniform ad vaiorem tax sys-
TEN" is unjust, in that in its operation
real estate bears an undue proportion
of the burden, and other classes OF
property escape taxation altogether
We favor a constitutional amendment
to correct this evil and to remedy this
injustice. The nre sent city administra-
ton, however, has in the past four
years paid of all old debts, incurred
under former administrations, will
have ct least $4,000 in the sinking
fund by January / next, and has this
year installed valuable fire apparatus,
thereby decreasing insurance rates,
and We pledge the Democratic admin
istratiOn to lower the tax rate for 1912
to at least $1.60 on each 800, without
any impairment of efficient service to
the public.

We are opposed to the reputation
BY the Fiscal Court of Fayette county,
controIIed BY the Republican party,
Of debts honestly incurred and now
due. We are in favor of the re-
establishment and maintenance of the
credit of Fayette county. The assessed
value of all property in Fayette county
for 1911 is about 100000 in excess
of the assessment for 1910 The total
taS. exclusive of the levy for schools,
in 1909 End 1910, was forty-seven
cents IN the city and county; while the
levy for 1911, exclusive of the levy for
schools. is forty-eight and one-eighth
ce- ts on each sl00 in the city, and
fffv cents on each 500 in the county
With this increased rate of taxation
,le-ied On an increased assessment, if
tba aff2iTs Of tha 0unty are admins
tered economically with fair business
ability. the issue of $4,000 of bonds
by the county is wholly unnecessary,
and we oppose it. AS an Illustration
Of the failure on the part of the Fiscal
Court to exercise fair bushes ability
in the conduct of the affairs OF the
county. we refer to the fact that while
an increased levy for turnpikes has
been made, and more money spent on
the pixies, yet it is notorious that the
pixies are in worse condition now than
they have ever been.

Construction and Repair of Streets.
The system of levying special taxes
by the front foot on property for the
construction and reconstruction of
streets with improved material is in
universal use in American cities, and
is based upon local and peculiar bene-
fits, received by the general public.
But We favor the passage of remedial
legislation by which one-half of the
cost of the reconstruction of streets
with improved material shall be paid
out of funds received by general taxa
tion, and as far as possible proper adj
justments made upon such basis with
property owners Who have paid the
entire cost OF such reconstruction of
streets in the city. In 1910 the pres
ent administration submitted TO the
voters for their approval plan by
which the credit of the city could have
been loaned &c aDutting proper ~ own
ers, the contractors paid in cash,
thereby saving 10 the property owners
a large sum OF money and a reason
able time given to property owners to
repay TO the city in installments the
amount advanced by the city. 7 his
plan was opposed by the Republicans
and rejected by the voters of the city.
\ z are in favor OF the use of as large
a rortion Of the annual revenue for
the reVair CT he streets as can be ex-
per ded asistently with the other de
72nds U 5n the city. out Of a lower
tai rate. We are in favor of the sub
mission of the 81 me plan to the voters
~ 1az2- 50 that Properly QwnsES can
ges the benefit of a reduced cost by
res son of payments in cash for work
done. We favor the passage of ordi-
nances imposing more stringent rules
and regulations upon persons and cor
po- ations tearing up streets, so that
such streets as are torn up will be
rec uired to be repaired promptly with
out damage or inconvenience to the
public.
