At Richmond School

A marked contrast to the meetings
heretofore held on the amendment
question was found at the Richmond
school last night, when Isadore Green
baum and Attorney w. ii. Trindle up
held the measures while Colonel Hofer
and Attorney Reeves sought to create
sentiment against them. Mr. Green
baum was the first speaker, and par
'ticularly drove home to his auditors
the fact that some one must pay for the
assessments, and that if the amend
ments did not pass, the general tax
would increase to the point of confis-
cation. The audience took advantage of
his invitation for questions, and he
fully answered all those propounded.
He was followed by Attorney Reeves,
who declared that the right of re-
monstrance would be taken away if the
measures passed. He, in common with
all the rest of the opposition, declared
that the measures were vicious and ty-
rannical.
Next in order was Attorney Trindle,
who refuted the arguments of the neg
lative, and showed that no powers now
delegated to the people would be taken
away by the passage of these amend
ments. The closing speech WIS made by
Colonel Hofer, who stated his position
to be that of private citizen, backed
by no interests, who was fighting the
amendments solely on the principle that
they were radically wrong and contra
ry to advanced ideas of popular gov
ernment.
Sentiment was apparently strongly
for the amendments, and it is believed
that but two or three of the thirty five
present were opposed.
Meetings tonight will be held at the
Englewood and Park schols.

CHANGES
D|SCUSSER AT LENGTH
Six Speakers Put In Two
Hours Explaining Proposed
Amendments

Six speakers, three for and three
against the proposed charter amend
ments, took part in the debate at the
Leslie NJ. E. church last night. Mr.. Oil
yer Jory acted as chairman and on
motion, each of the speakers was given
D minutes to present his ideas.
The debate was marked by wander
ing far from the subject especially by
those opposing the amendments.
Col. Hofer devoted IA of his 10 min
Iutes to discussing the city council, the
contest over sewers, and shortcomings
of officials generally. Attorney Endi-
colt wasted much time defending the
city council but the few minutes he
devoted to the amendments We're full
of forceful arguments. Attorney lnman
attacked especially the reassessment
amendment which he claimed would de-
Iprive citizens of their rights, prevent
any redress in the courts and cause all
kinds of calamities: He was against all
the amendments, even that giving the
majority the right to rule. He was Civ
en- ten minutes additional time.
Attorney Shields came nearer discuss
ing the amendments on their merits
than any of the speakers He put It
frankly: "There is a large sum to be
paid for paving already laid, and the
question to be decided how is it to be
paid, and by whom?" He pointed out
the conditions that would follow the
defeat of the amendments and that
some kind of bond issue would be q
necessity When these bonds were is
sued, all property would be taxed to
pay for improvements in front of the
property of those ON the paved streets.
Attorney Corby devoted his Is min
utes largely to the proceedings in court
over the improvements of south
Twelfth and other streets, and to the
action of the council in ordering the.
improvements.
City Attorney Macy didn t get very
far on anything the audience making a
question box of him and keeping him
busy answering.
There were probably rs in the audi
ence and that they were both interest
ed in the subject and polite was abund-
antly demonstrated by the fact that
most of them remained through the two
hour seance.

Legality of
Re-Assess1nent
The argument is being made by the
opponents of the re~assessment amendment
that the amendment il adopted, will be ur-
constitutional and will be the source of ex-
pensive litigation to the City. We do not
ask you to take our opinion for this, but re-
quest that you take the few minutes neces-
sary to read the following from an opinion
OF our own Supreme Court on the legality
of the reassessment clause Of the Medford
charter: Phipps VS.. City of Medford, 81
Ore 119, 158 Pac. &C.,
"The essence of the contention advanced
as ground for rehearing is that because the
city council did not observe the mandate Of
the Legislative charter of Medford requir
ing 10 days previous notice before begin
ming the construction of a sewer, the lay

the basis of any future taxation Of the
property of the plaintiffs; and hence that,
although the legal voters Of Medford had
amended their charter in the particulars
noted in the former opinion, such legisla-
ton was expost fact0 and could not be
made to apply to the Improvement in ques-
ton, which had been established for about
three years before the present effort to tax
for 1T had been inaugurated. That this
argument is fallacious is settled by Phillip
Wagner VS.. Lesser, 239 U. S. 2O7, where the
court says:
1T is first contended that the complain
ant is deprived of its property without due
process Of law, because the special assess
nent levied upon its property is for the
special benefits long since accrued, and that
the statute under consideration is retro
spective in its operation, thereby disturb
ing rights which had accrued to and become
fixed in the property holders long before
the passage of the statute; that the state
had no authority because of benefits thus
long since conferred to make the assess
ment in question But we deem this con-
tention foreclosed by the decision Of this
court in Seattle VS.. Kelleher, 1876 u. S. 351
(25 Sup. CT. a. 49 L. Ed 1922. In that case
it was contended that there could be no
valid assessment for a certain improve
ment, because it was levied after that work
was completed; but this court met that Coz
tention by saying: "rhe principles of tax
alton are not those Of contract A special
assessment may be levied upon an executed
consideration; that is to say, for public
work already done Getting authorities.)"

ers, which have led to partial revision
of schedules so that few lines operate
continuously.
Figures show that the horse omnibus
lines, of which % were in operation be-
fore the war with 450 buses, have been
reduced to 10 with but $50 buses. The
5000 horses used in 1914 have shrunk to
2,4OO and the smaller number of animals,
obviously, has to work harder and on a
smaller ration of feed than before.

to be raised again, but it is a question
of whether this increase in income will

GATHERING IN ARMS.
But U. S. Marines Have Not Completed
Wor, in Dominican Republic.

| Santo Domingo City, Dominican Re-
| public, March Almost three months
has not been sufficient time for the Unit
ed States marines, comprising the forces
of the temporary military occupation, to
gather in all the arms in the republic as
provided in one of the first orders issued
by Capt. II. S. Knapp, Z. S. navy, act
ing head of the temporary government
which called for the volunteer surren-
der of all arms, ammunition and ex-
plosives, and the search is still in prog
ress.
Just how many arms have been volun-
tarily surrendered, how many have been
obtained by means of search by marines
and how many more there may be vet
undelivered to the military authorities,
is something that no one here attempts
to guess The authorities have not
announced how many arms they have so
far collected in all, although it is known
that in certain districts many thous
and revolvers and rifles have been sur
rendered to them or seized.
But persons familiar with the Domin-
lean desire to possess arms express the
belief that it viii be next to impossible
ever to bring about a state of complete
disarmament here.
at has been most common to see gen
tlemen at balls. or other entertainments,

who has resided here for more than
thirty years. "A revolver was as much
a part of gentleman's attire as his
shoes or his shirt. Everybody was
armed"
All fire arms are strictly forbidden
in Santo Domingo by the Dominican
laws, except as imported by the gov
eminent for government use. But there !
has never been much difficulty in OBJ |
tanning either arms or ammunition and |
many persons have grown rich dealing |
in this class of contraband. Smuggling |
direct from the United States or from |
Haiti or Porto Rico has been carried on
for years, despite the law, 10 is said,
and good revolver was considered worth
almost its weight in good United States
money. Revolvers costing Sl2 or 81 in

Most of the firearms so far gathered

designs that military officers say they
