STRIKER MAKES
FINANCIAL REPORT
I ON CITY OF TACOMA

The report of Willard Stryker
of the Commercial club trustees
Tuesday afternoon developed
nothing new concerning municipal
finances.
Stryker says there has been
much transferring to of cash
from one fund to another until he
got lost in the mazes of the chase
to find out where the thing final
ly ended. This was due to the
fact that the treasurer was saw
ing the taxpayers about $4,000
interest in bonds, authorized for
big public works, but not issued
for a year after they were voted
and after work was in progress.
Stryker also took a fling at the
municipal dock, charging that 1t
lost $4,000 in 1912. But to figure
out this loss he takes the entire
bond issue for the municipal dock
property and taxes the fixed
charges on the portion used for
the whole thing. The figures at
the city hall show that the prop
erty actually used for municipal
dock purposes made a profit last
year, and the city out Of this
profit since the dock started took
$4,000 which was placed in the
sinking fund to retire the debt.

ONE OF MANY

The Florida legislature made one
mistake when it taxed physicians SIS
a year. A good doctor is a public
benefit, and he does more work tor
nothing than a member of any other
ofession.-Ocala Star.
How many acts OF the last legis-
lature were not mistakes? This is
only one of the many. Every few
days, somebody discovers a new leg
acy of folly left to US by that body,
all of which contribute to the an
noyance, expense and distress of the
people. That anti-coupon bill, for
instance, must have been passed
while all the members of the legfs-
lature who possessed ordinary in
telligence were asleep or absent.
Florida would have been vastly bet
ter off had that legislature adjourn
ed Immediately after converting, or,
still better, if it had never assem-
bled.-Tampa Tribune.
The Star can't remember any leg
islature that did all it should have
done, or any but what did some
things it should not have done. So
far as it sees, the recent legislature
was no exception to the rule 1t
passed some good laws, a few bad
ones, and wasted a whole lot of time
in improbable discussion. Such
ments of representative government.
The Star thinks the anti-coupon
law, tho it will cause temporary in
convenience, is a good one, Bryan
primary law, TrammelTs measure
providing penalties for it's violation,
Spencer's long and short haul law,
adding to the power of the railroad
commission, Stokes mental anguish
bill, the tax commission, and a num-
Der of other laws, were very good
ones. And one of the best things
about the late legislature was its
spirit of independence. 1t virtually
told the lobbyists and ne. corpora
tions to go chase themselves
The Tribune needn't expect any
representative body to do just what
it should do. If we sent a hundred
Ed Lambrights to Tallahassee, they
would make a great record for
craftsmanship, but they would make
some mistakes and dispIease some
people.

AN HISTORIC PICTURE

Whenever you pass Weihe's jew
elry store, you should stop and take
a look at the old but we'll preserved
picture in the window.
If you are Southern-bOrn, and
born far enough back TO remember
the days of reconstruction, it will
remind you of times that truly tried
mems souls. If you are younger, it
and uncles and older friends went
thru. If you are Northern-b born, it
will indicate to you state of things
that you didn't know existed. and
would not have existed if you and
your kinsmen had known the truth
in time
The picture is of the Gordon Vol
unteers, one of the many rifle clubs
organized in South Carolina in the
seventies, when it began to look
like the white people of the state
must choose between humiliation
and slavery. They chose like a
brave people, and posterity owes
them greater honor than it does to
even the men who rode with Sum-
The carpetbaggers, backed by the
power of the federal government,
and using the ignorant negroes for
tools, had pressed the people of
South Carolina down into a mire of
degradation that their children OF
today have but a faint comprehen-
sion Of
Major L. T. Izlar, now recorder of
Ocala, was commanding officer of the
Gordon Volunteers. The company
was made of picked men. They
were nearly all Southerners, and
the older men had carried arms in
the great war. One of the nom
commissioned officers had been a
member of Meagher's famous, hard
fighting federal brigade, showing the
spirit of manly northern men when
they understood. The men bought
their own arms, ammunition and
uniforms. The company was named
latter John B. Gordon, who went
over, from Georgia, to help enfran-
chise the white men of South Caro-
lima
These men and others like them,
the rifle clubs, the red-shirt cavalry,
land the kIu-kluX khan, were the thin.
grey line that stood between civili-
cation and humiliation in those
days. The people who live in these
should not forget.
