AS Low AS POSSIBLE

In his annual report. City Auditor
Heating recommended total tax rate
of 1877 mills President Phelan OF the
Board of Apportionment. declares that
every effort will be made to bring the
rate to the figure recommended by the
Auditor. As may be recalled. the
board last year fixed rate above the
recommendation Of the Auditor and
was sharply criticized for such action.
or course. It is very difficult to so
adjust appropriations as to prevent
an increased tax rate. The city has
many needs. some actual and press
ing. but others which may be post
poned without unfavorable effects.
Streets and sewers are always in need
of appropriations-for new construc-
ton a well as repairs. y, But at this
time. when industrial operations are
hating. expenditures should be as
small as possible in order that taxa
ton may not burden heavily the small
homes Of this Industrial city. Nor is
it wise. In these daysfof sharp compe-
tition between cities. for new indus
tries. to levy high tax. rate. one
above the rates fixed by compe sitors.
There are rumors- In circulation to
the effect that the Board Of Appor-
tionrnent viii endorse bonding propo-
sitions to an aggregate amount OF
about q miilion-for q new High
School. new Almshouse and new East
washington avenue bridge. This will
not necessarily augment this years
tax rate. but will materially increase
that OF next: year-for interest and
SINKING fund. If the board approves
the Issue Of bonds for a new bridge,
1t. or some other authority should
Insist that the trolley company pay a
structure which is evidently necessi-
tated- not by ordinary vehicular traffic
but by the running OF Jumbo" cars
upon the present bridge
Neither of these bending issues was
recommended by the City Auditor.
His bending recommendations were
limited to issues for a new West End
police station. new Isolation hospital.
new fire engine house. and a garage
at Central Police station. There is
much opposition to the proposed new
High School. much criticism of the
high cost OF the proposed new Aims
house. and a growing indisposition to
build new bridge largely for trolley
use and wholly at the city's cost.
1t Is for the Appointment Board
not only to Fix as low a tax rate as
possible now. but also to remember
that each bond issue necessitates
larger tax rates for succeeding years.

SOME TIMBER FACTS.

Last year over fifty-five billion feet
of timber were cut in the United
States. More than $4,000 acres of
timber are cut in the United States ev-
cry working day. At the present rate
of consumption the desirable and. ac-
ceszible timber of the country will be
exhausted in between twenty-five and
thirty-five years.
To supply paper like the Chicago
Tribune with paper for one year re-
ouires over 1000, acres of timber.
We use 100000 cubic feet of cedar
per year for lead pencils.
Our consumption of timber Is in
cHeasing much more rapidly than our
increase in population.

A VERY TANGLED PROBLEM

There appear to be two views of the
Workmen's Compensation proposition,
and they conflict radically.
The Connecticut Manufacturers' AS
ISOLATION favors a compensation plan
which divides the cost between en-
rloyer and employee. probably by es-
tablishing what would be practically
an insurance fund. to which both
would contribute. Under this plan.
an employee would be steadily con-
tributing toward his own compensa-
ton If injured. and unless some pro-
vision were made for an employee
who resigns or is discharged. he could
only recover his contributions by seek
ing injuries.
woriingmen hold that the compen-
sation should be wholly paid by the
employers who could then shift the
burden upon their products. Under
