Railroad Ordinance.

Many of our citizens seem adverse
to understanding the conditions of the
railroad ordinance which has been up
for discussion. Many are complaining
Of what the Burlington railroad has
secured by reason of this ordinance.
The facts. which cannot be contro-
verified. and which everyone will agree
to, if they will take the trouble of ex-
aiming the question, are as follows:
That the city is the great gamer by
this ordinance; that the Burlington
railroad is receiving very much les.
than it is giving up; increased track
age has been allowed the Union Depot
company, and the c., B. & @. has been
given the right of 800 or 400 feet of
track which it did not have, but is
taking up more than 1900 feet of track
and relinquishing to the city the
ground that these tracks were located
On. More than so per cent Of the
union yard track is to remain. The
railroads have given UP most of the
ground that was ceded them under the
Union Depot ordinance. They were
very insistent upon retaining the
rights given them under the Union
Depot ordinance, but at last accepted
the situation, feeling that they could
not stand out against the best inter
ests of our city.

POINTS OUT BENEFITS
Says Reduction In Taxes Has Been
Much Greater Than Any In
crease and City Gains
by Ordinance.

In two signed statements issued to-
day Maypr J. f. Elder seeks to clarity
the situation regarding the city taxes
and the railroad ordinance. He points
out that the present administration
has brought about, tax reductions,
while the new railroad ordinance is a
big gain in every way for the city.
His statements follow:
City Taxes.
There seems to be considerable mis-
understanding throughout the city as
to the city tax rate for the last two
years The first levy OF the present
administration made in April, 1910,
was for 40 mills, which was the same
rate that had been used under form
er administrations. The following
year, this rate was reduced to SO mills,
and last fall it was raised again to 40
mills, the first installment Of which
tax is now being collected
The increase in taxation which is
being complained of by some citizens
is. for county and state purposes. The
valuations throughout the city have
not been raised, except in very few
instances It is my Judgment that
the reductions in valuations have been
equal if not greater, than the increase.

quite rare enough to be precious.
every girl can have good carriage.
Every girl can stand erect. Every girl
can sit gracefully with the end Of her

every girl can have repose of manner.
She can rest the eyes Of those who look
at her by not f1dgeting, not moving rest
lessly about, nor fussing perpetually with
her hair or neck or belt, as so many girls
do.
Not every girl can be beautiful, but
every girl can have a pleasing voice, well
modulated and pitched low enough to
avoid the ugly head tones that are SO
common.
Not every girl can be beautiful, but
fairly good English. She can. moreover.
