MAYOR BLAMES SANITARY BID.
The South Side of Chicago is fac
ing a typhoid epidemic and Mayor
Thompson and DR.. John Dill Robert
son are OUtspoken in accusing the
sanitary board of being responsible.
The 39th st. pumping station,
which takes care Of the sewerage be-
tween 39th and 18th SITS. and the lake
and the city limits, has flooded and
the sewers are backing up.
Mayor Thompson said this cOndi-
ton resulted because the sanitary
board is not using their electric dy-
namO to dispose of the sewerage. In
stead, he says, they are using all their
machinery to manufacture electric
power for sale to private concerns.
Through an agreement with the
sanitary board the latter is supposed
to dispose of this sewerage at night.
Thompson says they have neglected
their part of the agreement. He
openly lays the threatened epidemic
at their doors. Robertson says he
took the matter up with Pres. ThOs.
A. Smyth of the sanitary trustees,
but the same conditions prevail after
every heavy rainstOTm.
During the last epidemic a few
months ago there were 1873 typhoid
cases on the South Side and SO of
those cases resulted in death.
Robertson says that until the pres
ent conditions are remedied South
Siders should boil their drinking
water.

MAYOR SAYS ALL is SAFE IN
HANDS OF JAKE LOEB
Mayor Thompson today put the
stamp of approval of the Thompson
Lundin political machine on the Jake
Loeb scheme to throw out the merit
rule.
The mayor said he believed that
Loeb was acting for the good of the
school children of Chicago" in plac-
ing the teachers positions in jeOp-
ardy.
The mayor also indicated his be-
lief that the entire question was safe
in the hands of Loeb. All this is in
teresting in view of the fact that he
will soon name seven new appointees
to the school board. If he cares to
go far enough in his support of the
Jake Loeb scheme he can appoint
only people he knows will be salts

mobiles Is not sufficient to pay for
the special damage inflicted by them
upon our roads, and II there Is room
for an increased tax upon them that
tax must provide the money to repair
the damage they infilct. Further
more, the tax upon automobiles has
u sectional application, and just as
the income tax Is one from which a
section Of the union is almost wholly
exempt, 30 the automobile tax will
rest very lightly upon the same
group of states.
1.-THE original constitution gives
the national government the power
to apportion direct taxes upon the
states In proportion to their popula-
ton, and II further direct taxes are
necessary, as they surely are not,
1t might be well to invoke that
ancient power in order that all the
states might be permitted patriotic
ally to contribute to the support Of
the national treasury rather than to
conflne the different adventures In
direct taxation to those peculiar
forms which will chiefly fall upon
one portion OF the union.
"The states perform the most ex-
penslve functions Of government and
especially those functions which
must closely concern the people.
They provide education. roads, fire
and police protection and many other
important services. We raise each
year in Massachusetts to carry on
our local governments S03,36O,186,
or about $26 per capita. Exclusive
of the postal department, where q
special service Is rendered in carry
ing letters and commodities, the ma
uonal expenditure Is now about 50
per capita, and that is larger than 1t
ever has been In time of peace. In
other words, we require in Massachu-
sets nearly three times as much per
capita to carry on our local govern
mental functions as Is needed by the
nation, and n similar disparity Is
shown In very many Of the other
states OF the union.
obviously, II the states are to
continue to perform the vital func-
lions which they have so long per-
formed, the national government
must respect their sources Of reve-
nue., and should confine itself to
those rich and almost limitless fields
of which 1t has exclusive command.
In times OF great emergency, when
the existence of the nation Is at
stake, the last dollar in the country
should be at its command. but except
in such times there should be no set
tied policy of taxation established at
Washington which would threaten
to cripple the local governments Of
the country and impair their eff
