THAT TAX COMPROMISE

In another column the matter OF a
compromise in the tax cases is dwelt
upon. These cases arose out OF the
old contention of the little fellow and
the big fellow There is a principle in
volyed and also mighty important
point OF law that has never been touch
ed upon-the powers Of a board OF re-
view. The Diamond Drill has made
its position plain upon this tax matter
several times. We are for the little
fellow and unless we are assured OF
dead open and shut reason for COM
promise in these cases we shall oppose
such settlement to the limit. There
was no compromise made with the
small tax payers about town in their
suit. They had to fight II to conclu-
sion. Why any compromise should be
made with the big fellow must be
shown us before we will sanction it.
The city has a very good opportunity
the tax. dissension. Mayor Munns
frankly says that he is not well inform
ed upon the points at issue and will
sanction compromise only In case he
is convinced that it is best for the
city to do so. SO, anyone who takes or
has taken a contract 10 settle these
cases has done so without the know
ledge of the mayor or council and GER
tainly without the consent of the peo-
pie. It's time that this tax question
was taken out of politics and the city
officers chosen TO govern the city and
not 10 favor this one or that one on
the board of review This result can
only be brought about by bringing to
an issue this tax case or by showing
clearly and above board to the people
what the inevitable result of trial
OF the case will be. In view of the fact
that one OF the state tax officials stated
to a gentleman from Crystal Falls re-
Gently that he thought the board of re-
view did right in making change II
the property values had decreased, It
Is un 10 those who want a compromise
10 show what cards they hold.

FOR POLITICS ONLY

The actions Of some OF the leading
"drys" in the state legislature gives
the impression that they are for pro-
hibition but only when prohibition is
serviceable to them in political way.
One of the potent objections to the
saloon is that II is used as political
agency and when the so called lead
ers" use prohibition as stepping
stone to political Office they are not a
whit better than the fellow who uses
the saloon to the same end
The honest prohibitionist is for
prohibition because he feels that IL is
the best for mankind. He isn't parti-
,cular whether II comes with presi-
Dental election or If it comes at some
other time when IL can stand on It's
own feet. The political prohibitionist
is for prohibition when It will best
serve to boost his candidacy for Office
and az no other time. The state lead
ers should take leaf from the note

were strictly ruled out and which
prospered beyond expectation be-

The failure OF the railroads to get

dition from the present legislature
may be attributed I'm a very large

high stakes and bet all their money on
the turn OF the card. They lost. The
Diamond Drill has opposed the raise
OF rates without some unbiased inyes-
tigation on the states part. We are OF
the opinion that rate increases are
needed and would have welcomed a
temporary increase pending such in
vestigation. But. the railroad fellows
said they wanted no. investigation
they wanted raise on their own
figures. When II came TO showdown
and It was apparent that raise
couldn't be secured they wanted a
temporary increase but it was toe
late. We would like to see some n O.
vision made by this legislature for an
investigation and closer supervision
OF railroad affairs by the commission
so that the rail- Dads may be com.
pletely eliminated f:om politics for all
times. leaving the supervision of rates
to the commission.
