We're for Low Taxes, But.

IRON time TO time, The Star has pointed out op-
portunities for economy in the administration
of public affairs in city, county and state. This
paper is against waste or extravaganza in any pub
lie office.
The Star is for the lowest possible tax levy.
So is Councilman Erickson So is Mayor Gill.
So is every councilman So is every honest citizen.
What is the lowest possible levyl Here is
where the differences of opinion occur.
Suppose there were proposition not TO pay
the mayors salary OF 81 800 in 10 by evying the
necessary tax for it, but. instead we should go out
and borrow that amount from some bank paving
the bank the regular rate of interest for the loan.
WOULD THAT BE ECONOMY?
Would the city he saving money!
Ii would certainly decrease the levy by ST. 500.
And yet, in the long run, it would cost the tax
payers more money, because the mayors salary
would have to be paid some time.
II not next year, il would have TO he paid the
year after that--and in the meantime interest would
be ping up.
BY keeping the mayors salary out of the tax
levy one year, il merely means postponng the pay
ment of legitimate debt; il means that the year
following there will be higher tax levy for then
two years salary would have to be paid in one.
That's the situation with one or more items
over which the mayor and majority of the ooun-
Gil differ
