NO RAISE IN TAXES.

Most people have enough skeptlcism
IN them to want to be shown when the
waterworks trustees come out with
the statement that to issue 100000
in bonds for the improvement OF the
waterworks plant to enable it to light
the citys streets, will not mean a
raise in taxes, but that on the contrary
it will mean an immediate reduction
and an ultimate elimination of the
light levy. This savors of getting
something for nothing and as such is
rarely the case in these days when
everything costs something, people
have the right to ask for the figures to
bear out the statement.
The waterworks trustees are able to
give these however and being asked
to show why the bond issue will not
mean an increase in taxes, does not
cause them any embarrassment. They
point to the record of the plant dur
ing its three years and one month of
municipal ownership and are able to
show that under their efficient direc.
ton It has paid its operating expenses

and given them over $4,000 in addi-
ton with which to pay for various
needed improvements. Then they can
point to the estimates of competent
engineers that several hundred addl-
tlonal horsepower could be developed
by rebuilding of the power dams and
the installation Of additional machinery
the amount of money required being
100000 plus some $4,000 which the
waterworks will be able to provide
out of it's own fund. This additional
power could be utilized for lighting
the streets with the same number OF
lights or more than exist now and in
addition there would be some power
for such other use as it might seem
we'll to apply it.
Having done this work Of improve
ment. the money which is collected
under the light levy would be used to
cancel the bonds and pay interest.
For eleven years the collection Of this
levy reduced however to two mills
instead of the present five, would con-
tinue just as it has for some years
past, but at the end of that time. the
bonds would be paid off and there
would be no further need for the COL
lection Of the light levy. Then the
tax could be actually wiped out-no
longer put upon the books and the
collection of it stopped for all time to
come.
The ono thing that the city would
have to pay under the new Ran is
attention The citizens of Ottumwa,
If they add to the plant which they
now own, will become responsible for
the institution and for the handling or
it, If they desire to dodge RESPONSE
bility, they can continue paying
private corporation to assume it for
them from now to doomsday. But
cities or individuals that refuse to
responsibility never grow,
prosper, or advance to any extent.
Ottumwa can we'll afford to under
take the responsibility that will come
with such an addition TO the plant as
1t IS proposed to make. With capable
business men such as have made this
city the trading center for southern
Iowa and northern Missouri and with
practical men like the present water
works trustees, who have put the plant
on better than a self sustaining
basis in three years of municipal own
ership. Ottumwa can find the proper
men to undertake the direction or the
enlarged waterworks and feel sure that
it will be done for the best interests
of the city and the taxpayers.
The question. therefore is not one or
adding to the taxes, but is, shall we
avail ourselves Of an opportunity TO
cut down the taxes?

Those who have always believed
that "big business" was sort OF
dragon that spat fire when anyone ap-
preached it, are doubtless unable to
account for the ready acquiescence
with which the demands of the admin
istration are being met. After all, who
has more to lose by reason of panic
than these same big interests. To
blame the present depression on them
when in fact it is due to fear Of and
hardship under the democratic tariff,
is the height of folly.
