Until the last week very few peo-
pie knew the provisions of the new
tax assessing law. While it pro-
vides for only Is per cent increase
this year it will go to 20 next year
and every year 5 per cent increase.
True, the governor and some of the
officials tell US it will not be neces-
sary to make the full levy. Such
talk is tommyrot. It's to fool the
taxpayers. With yearly per
cent increase permitted the state will
soon revel in funds and there will
be high doings among the officials.
Will give the Shafroth- of poll
ticians more money to aid them in
elections and furnish students and
officers of the state school of mines
double the money for theater and
dancing parties. Yes, it's a jolly
good thing, this yearly increase of
b per cent, but it's tough on the geese
that lays the golden egg.

MUNICIPALITY OWNED STREET
CARS PLANNED FOR d. C.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. IL
Examples set by San Francisco and
Seattle in the voting of bonds to
construct municipality owned street
railways are being quoted by local
newspapers. in connection with the
bill introduced in congress for muni-
cipalizing the street railroads of the
District of Columbia.
Representative Crosser, of Cleve-
land, who was friend of the late
Mayor Tom Johnson, and is on the
house committee on the District OF
Columbia, brought in the proposal.
He wants the lines purchased by CON
demnation if the companies do not
agree with the public service COM
mission of the district, within six
months, upon a price.
The success of San Francisco's
Geary street municipal railroad, and
its overwhelming vote to extend the
system, have done more to advertise
public ownership in the eastern press
than any recent event except the es-
tablishment of the parcels post.

MAYOR GAYNOR, OF NEW
YORK, DIES SUDDENLY

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Mayor
Gaynor died at 1 o'clock yesterday
of heart failure, aboard the liner
Baltic, near Queenstown. His son,
Rufus, who accompanied his father,
sent wireless message to Secretary
Adamson telling of his fathers
death. A bullet received when an
attempt was made by parties to as
sassinate him two years ago is said
to be indirectly responsible for the
mayors death. The bullet was never
removed and recently it had caused
him much agony. The mayor was
subjected to violent fits of coughing
which exhausted him and weakened
his heart. The ships doctor said
this together with notification Sep
tember 8 that he was nominated for
mayor, caused heart failure. At the
meeting at which he was nominated
mayor, Gaynor was unable to speak
and his acceptance speech had to be
read. He returned from the meet
ing to his office exhausted and the
next day decided suddenly to sail
aboard the Baltic remaining in Eng
land few days, hoping the voyage
would relieve his suffering. The Bal
tic will reach Queenstown tonight
and the body will be returned here on
board the Cedric or Lusitania i'm
mediately.
Secretary Adamson notified Mrs.
Gaynor who collapsed on hearing of
her husbands death. Adolph Kline,
Republican president of the board of
aldermen, is acting mayor of New
York.
Mayor Gaynor's death complicates
the political situation here. John
Purroy Mitchell, fusionist candidate
for mayor, has the backing of all
anti-Tammanyites. Edward Mccall
is the Tammany candidate. Tam
many's domination is threatened SER
iously.
NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Gaynor's
last message wirelessed to the Even
ing Mail Friday, said: Rent pay
ers and tax payers won't throw the
city's government back into the
hands of an outside CRATER. Nor will
they throw it into control of vulgar
gang grafters. They are all of one
stripe, such as met Del Monico. No
king, no clown shall rule this town.
That day has gone forever" Y
He referred to Murphy and Tam
many lieutenants who met at Del
Monico and chose Edward Mccall as
Tammany's mayoralty candidate.
