WOULD MAKE PART
 PAYMENT AT ONCE
Mayor Would Have City Pay Half of Cost of New Schools Out of
 Appropriation.

When the charter revision commit tee meets to consider charter changes Mayor George A. Quigley will make an important recommendation re- garding a proposed charter change that will make it impossible for the school board to construct new school buildings entirely on a bond issue, but will provide that fifty per cent. of the net expense be paid immediately out of the general taxation.
 Tn discussing this matter, Mayor Quigley stated that some curb must be put on the rapidly growing city eX- penses and he thinks that it is in line with good business management to adopt such a method. He points out that if a private individual was to build a new house no bank would mortgage it for 100 per cent. In the case with the present system, the mayor states that bond issue is au- thOrized and a school is built, the city not even owning the land. As re- suit the city is weighed down with an additional burden that the next gen eratiOn must bear just the same as the present generation is paying on bond issues that have been made in years past.
 The mayor states that approximate ly thlrtynine per cent. Of the city s income goes towards the schools and of the 19.6 mill tax rate practically mills is for the schools. At the present time the school bond account totals almost one million dollars necesstating almost one mill of taxes to pay the interest
 With a charter change that will make it imperative that when new school is built fifty per cent. of the cost must be voted on at a city meet ing, the mayor thinks that the public will take more interest in what is being done; and it will aid in reducing the bonded indebtedness of the city,

ercises or by enlarging and sub-di- Vldlng it so as to enable it to meet the strain of it's various duties. Another question of importance that will come up will be the question of the control of the railway and the other public utilities securities. AS it is, most of the state public util- lty commissions are regulating the issue of securities upon the railroads within the boundaries of the state over which each has jurisdiction.
 1t is suggested that the United States government, by reason of it's power over interstate commerce. should create a tribunal for that pur- pose or give such control by the in terstate commerce commission. So the question of state rights will be involved in this most interesting sub- iect.
 There will also come up the ques- tion as to whether the nation or the states should create the great organ izations that serve the purpose of in- terstate commerce. Thus far we have been content to allow the states to create these corporations, these rail. road companies"
 Commenting on suggestions that railroad taxation be put in the hands of federal authorities exclusively, Sen- ator NeWlands said:
 We find the great diversity in the tax laws of various states. some states imposing very light burdens; some taxing only the visible property, oth- CTS taxing the intangible thing termed a franchise; some of them adopting the market price of the stocks and bonds as the standard measure of valuation, others contenting them- selves simply with the physical val uation of the actual property within the boundaries of the state."
