| Peoria is the second city in the third
State in the Union, which ought by all
rights to give it a population of half a
million. But Peoria, according to the last
census. had $3.50 people, including Chi
nese. Orientals, and millionaires not
taxed.
| Illinois is less infested with great cities
than almost any other State. Outside of
Chicago it has very few troubles. Peoria

ball park uncomfortably, but it is a real
metropolis in Central Illinois, and, al
though fifteen railroads enter it, not one
Of them presumes to run through it.
Peoria is famous because of the whisky
which comes from it. This accounts for
its small size. Most every one seems to
want to be where the whisky goes to, not
where it comes from.
Peoria is located in the heart of Illinois.
on the Illinois River. which contains more
fish and motor boats than any other river
of its size. The city was founded almost
100 years ago, and would have grown
faster IL it had not been so particular.
Peoria has sent more villains to Jail IN
the last ten years than any other city of

We all agree that President Wilson is
free of entangling alliances with big
money interests. That goes without
saying. But does he realize that he is
playing right into their hands by his
attitude in the Mexican situation? He
has let it be known that his. policy is
to delay recognition of the existing pro-
visional government until complete peace
has been established and the regular
Presidential election has been held in
our sister republic.
In the first place. the election cam
not be held until the guerrilla warfare
in the northern States is ended. The
Huerta regime has found the treasury
looted by the Madero government. There
is little or no money on hand with
which to take the forceful measures nee
essary to put down this long-distance
must be rehabilitated. The Money Trust
of Wall Street Is perfectly willing to lend
the necessary millions, and more. but
on usurious terms that amount to polite
blackmail 1t is using President Wilson's
attitude as a club over Huerta's head
to force these terms.
Mexico is so rich in natural resources
and future possibilities that there Is no
reason why its government should not
raise the money needed. except the de-
sire of the Money Trust to get an I'M
just rake-off from an unfortunate coun-
try. II Uncle Sam would recognize the
Huerta government there would be no
difficulty in raising a considerable loan
that would insure quick peace and pros
berity and an early election. But big

tingly playing big moneys game.

Want RECOVERY
OF BACK TAXES

Mandan, n. d., July lS.-Action will
be started at the present session OF
the county commissioners OF Morton
county to recover over $50O,000 due
in back taxes for tenants OF railroad
companies located on right Of way
leased property. Action was inaug-
urated by States Attorney H. r. Bit
zing, when he ascertained that dur
ing the past thirteen years great
amount of property has escaped tax
alton for the reason that it has never
been placed upon the tax list by the
assessors.
The statute under which action
will be started provides. that rail-
road company shall pay taxes on all
property not used for its roadway.
In accordance with this all property
not used for railroad purposes is as
sessable at the local rate. AS six
years is all that back taxes can be
collected for, the amount against the
various properties will be reached
and levied with the 1913 taxes.
Carl Kositzky, secretary of the state
tax commission, has joined in the in
yestigation Not alone in Mandan,
but in every city and town Of the
county are the evasions reported. The
companies who have escaped pay
ment Of taxes during the thirteen
years are for the most part lumber
and machinery yards and elevators.
