REPUBLICANS RESPONSE
BILE FOR REDUCED TAXES

Republican members of the city
administration are responsible for
the reduced taxes for the current
year. They insisted upon a re-
duction in the tax levies and
consequent reduction in the cost
of running city and county. 1t
had been the boast of the Rush
bill advocates that reconsolida-
ted city and county could be ad-
ministered at great deal less cost
than under the old method end the
Republicans in the board of super
visors and the Republicans in the
board of aldermen demanded that
test be made.
Appropriations for the current
year are less by $25O,00O to s275,-
600 than they were for the year
previous. This amount is saved
the taxpayers. Arnold as asaess-
or had nothing whatever to do with
reduction. His duty begins and
ends with assessing the taxable
property.
1t is claimed by Arnold that he
reduced valuations on property.
This is true in a number of cases.
But it must be remembered that
Denver had grown in year to an
extent never known it its history.
This, the year of Arnold's incum-
bency in the Assessors office, was
the year of Denver's 'skyscrap-
pers." The First National Bank
building, the Foster building, the
Daniels and Fisher building and a
thousand new homes came into be-
ing for taxable purposes. The
S12,OO0,0O0 additional property
values created by the enterprise of
Denver's citizens, were used by
Arnold to make a reduction in the
tax levy. Instead Arnold used
that amount with which to pay
politics in the assessors Office
Candidates on the Republican
ticket are all pledged to the hilt to
economy and still further reduc-
tion in taxation. A united party
in city hall and courthouse can
keep the taxes down to a mini
mum. Another quarter of a mil
lion dollars can be Topped from
taxes without in any way interfer-
ing with efficiency.

has been true of the Republic as

the discontended labor elements
clamor for more wages and less
work hours and strike to enforce
the demand, while retrenching
nothing of the expenditures for
living they have cultivated above
the purchasing power of the wage
they receive; and foodstuffs and
rents keep on rising higher and
higher, so that every increase of
wages carries with it increase of
cost of foodstuffs, and rents, the
great mass of the people having to
bear the brunt of increase of wag-
es and interest of capital as well
as increase of price of foodstuffs
and rents. This criss. crossing of
interests, by which all of the peo-
pie are made to suffer in one and
another way, is not adventitious;
it has a cause for it and the cause
is to be found in the tendencies of
the people to disregard the letter

A Coatville, Pa, dispatch OF Ap-
ril %, printed in the Trenton Eg-
ening Times, says: "On the New
lin farm Fallowfeld Township, a
mile southwest of Coatesville,
where Zach Walker, the Negro,
was burned on the night of August
13, there remains a bare spot,
where grass refuses to grow.
Around the circle grass is growing
in all its beauty" This dispatch
is pregnant with the truth that mur
der will out, and that those who
commit it, as an individual or as a
mob, will be followed by the curse
of the misdoing as the bloodhound
tracts his victim, tilelessly and
mercilessly. Few people believe
it. Walker was taken out OF the
hospital by a mob, fastened to his
cot, and thrown over the fence OF
the Newlin farm; fire was set to
his cot, and he was burned to a
cinder. The Chester county au-
thorities tried many men and boys
for the crime, but were unable to
hitch the crime upon any of the
mob wrathers, because the Juries
refused to back up the
grand jury indictments and the eff
forts of the prosecuting officers.
Grass refuses to grow on the
spot where the man was burned to
death! What a horrible reminder
is that to the people of Coatesville
that vengeance is mine, [ will re-
pay, saith the Lord" But the
withered grass is not the only re-
minder that the Coatesville people
have had. Not long ago their high
school was burned, and then a
mysterious malady came upon the
people, so that at one time 300 of
them were sick at the same time
and many of them died.
It is said that the limb of tree
upon which a man is hanged will
wither and die. If grass refuses to
grow upon the ground where man
has been mobbed by the commun-
ity, the story of the withered tree
limb, as of the withered fig tree,
may we'll be true of the people also
guilty of such crime when they as
sumo legal responsibility for it by
refusing to prosecute and punish
the guilty. That this is true is
born out by the terrible calamities
which are constantly horrifying
communities which commit great
crimes and then forget that they
have done 80.
This Republic has experienced
some calamities in the past seven
years that have been followed by
that silent retribution which sleeps

Barry Farm Bill Passed.

While the Senate was passing uncon-
tested bills in its calendar two other Dis
trict measures were pushed Throughout
providing for the extension of streets
and avenues through the subdivision of
, Barry Farm, the other, providing for the
payment Of about So. 127 to Mrs. Elizabeth
L. w. Bailey, administrators of the es-
tate of the late Davis w. Bailey
The Commissioners recommended the
street improvements in the Barry Farm
subdivision, explaining that the roads
running at present to the homes of the
residents of the subdivision are private
property and it is therefore impossible
to extend sewer and water mains through
the subdivision. The extension Of those
mains, the Commissioners told Congress
Is necessary for the proper safeguardins
Of the health Of those living in the sub
division. and the bill passed by the SEN
ate yesterday would result in the pur-
chase by the District of land for high
ways, largely the present privately owned
roadways, SO the mains can be extended
along them. :sfes t5Eie-s<i
The. payment to Mrs. Bailey is made
In settlement of a claim for paving under

husband, the paving funds having run

CROSSING POL|CEMEN'S

Only the Presidents Approval
Now Remains to Make
1t Law.

| Only the approval of President Taft
stands between the crossing police

leave with pay.
The Senate yesterday afternoon, on
motion of Senator Gallinger, passed the
| bill, already passed by the House. CIV
ing crossing policemen the same status
as members Of the regular police force,
so far as pay and leave of absence is
concerned. There was not dissent
| ing voice, and the bill went through in
the time it took the Vice President and
reading clerk to go through the for
malities.
The Commissioners did not give their
approval to the bill, although they
were inclined to think the crossing
policemen should get better reward for
their work than at present. The House
District committee, after hearing the
pleas of the men themselves, decided
to grant them their request that they
be put in the same position as regular
policemen. They did not ask for par
ticipation in the retirement fund, and,
in that particular. they will not be on
an equal footing with the bluecoats
