Wise Local Municipal Government


do not intend by these comparisons to
suggest that / believe that the United

troll Of the federal district to the people
who live in 1t. In no other capital in the
world is so large a percentage of the real
estate owned bv the nation. AS long as
the nation faithfully carries out in letter

the will of majority of the taxpayers,

application of the principle of uni nnited
manhood suffrage to municipal concerns
the tax money is collected and expended

aggregations often criminal, always ire

popular suffrage Is demanded by repub-

those officers who exercise purely gov

ton of agents by municipal corporations
to perform dut es affecting private prop
erty interests that in such a corporation
the amount to be raised in taxes and the
manner of It's expenditure should be de-
termined by the Observation-Disclosures of the
corporation, the taxpayers who raise the
money to be expended. and not by the
municipalities non-taxpayers, who, with
out contributing proportionately to the
tax fund, will enjoy the benefits of the
improvements accomplished by its expend-
iture. There is no equity in placing the
contributors and non-contributors to q

of deciding how and by whom the fund

against the resolution. "The question

thermore the church of England has
shown disposition to discourage the
issuance of licenses to non-residents
who desire to waive the formality of
church regulations and have license
granted without the reading of bans
and other preliminaries which con-
sumo at least two weeks. At one
time Americans were much given to
seeking these special licenses and
arranging weddings in great haste.
The bishop of Canterbury grants such
licenses to Englishmen only when
there are urgent reasons, such as i'll
ness or unexpected military or naval
orders which would make Il impos-
sible to comply with the church's
regular requirements.
In the case of Americans or other
foreigners desiring to marry in Eng.
land the same consideration will be
shown in an extreme emergency that
is shown to Engllshmen, but the
church has made very clear its un

JUDGMENT AGAINST TONOPAH N. CO.

The following opinion was handed
down today by Judge Averill in the
matter of the Tonopah Sewer and
Drainage company versus The Tono-

opinion being reproduced in con
densed form:
The important contention in this
case. and the only one of any conse-
auence as question of law, is
whether the statute of limitations ap-
plies In favor of the Tonopah Mining
company. The theory of the statute
is that If man neglects TO collect
upon a contract. obligation, etc, m
der which money has become due

demand Tor for the period fixed by
the statute), il may be assumed that
he was paid that he considered him.
self paid, that he did not care to be
paid, or that for some reason he was
not entitled to be paid The last
three of these assumed reasons have
some application here. Thus. II may
readily be assumed that for a long
time the sewer company considered
itself paid, or did not care to be
paid. or was not entitled to be paid,
under the circumstances that existed.

OF announcing his candidacy for 1915
when he made the statement at In

a chance to judge his case. The audi

as a hint that he would be a candi-

mind the future generations that
would pass upon his acts as presl-
dent. He refused to discuss the ques-
tiOn of his candidacy.
