A teacher asks the meaning OF ''The
ides OF March" Probably very few
people in this age and country ever
would have heard the term but for the
line in Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar, "
"Beware the ides OF MarchW The
ides OF March was the fifteenth day OF
the month. In several months the
ides was the fifteenth day, and in 9TH
ers the thirteenth. Another specially
named day was the nones, which was
reckoned nine days backward from the
ides. The Romans called the first day
of every month the calends. They
were sly jokers, those old Romans.
When they doubted that thing was
likely TO occur they used TO say it
would take place on the Greek calends.
The Greeks had no calends, so that
this was way OF predicting that the
thing would never happen.

A WORD ON CITY TAXES.
Editor OF the Pilot:

Editor OF the Pilot:
Your city subscribers are un1oubted-
ly much interested in the present con-
troversies going on over conditions in
the city in regard to the burdensome
taxation and the unprecedented expen-
ditures of public moneys now existing.
For small city like Manitowoc,
with not over $4,000 population, to be
expending nearly half a million dollars
every year is itself decidedly unusual,
but when In addition II Is sought to
still further increase Indebtedness and
annual taxation, one wonders where
we are going to come out.
The situation at present Is that we
are spending at the rate OF about halt
million dollars year to run this lit
tie city OF about $4,000 people.
Our tax levy for the fiscal year 1916
paid in December l9l5-January l6 was
1920, 1867.
The fiscal year began on April 1st
and there should have been no appro-
priations made out OF that sum before
that date, legally It was not available
before that time. But affairs had been
so conducted that on December there
was a deficit In most of the various
funds Of the city which were credited
up out OF these moneys, which with
the expense of running affairs until
April lst, 1916 left In the city treasury
from all sources credit balance OF
only Sl62, ,645.72.

Excess Disbursements. s 73,Ol9. 10

Excess Disbursements. y I3,0I9. ~
This shows that on Feb. lst of the
current year, the city administration
had expended every dollar of tax levied
and every dollar of revenue received
from every source including the reve-
nue. OF the water and light plants and
were $73,0l9.70 behind which had to
be made up from funds levied for the
fiscal year beginning April lst 1917.
And besides; the government will have
to run two months Of the old year pay
ing expenses from the new levy.
This is good specimen of the way
things have been and are being run.
And yet We have certain persons calling
themselves a 'good government
league who indorses that way of do
ing business and candidates who were
concerned in it.
With every prospect Of a national
war which will bring heavy federal
taxation on every class OF population

quire new Municipal utility 'tomcats',

The writer of this article has no per-
sonal interest in the contest between
the two candidates, Mr.. G. w. Meisnest
and Mr.. jog. Voboril. But .neverthe-
less ] would recommend Mr.. Voboril to
the voters of Manitowoc County. | dc
this because | know him and the work
he has done, and in the most candid
manner will state that he possesses
many valuable qualifications for the Of
fee he seeks, some Of which am giving.
Mr.. Voboril is man Of executive
ability, one whose standard is practical
education and he can be depended on
to successfully lead and direct the edu
cational interests in this county. He is
full of energy and ambition and posses
ses the power to cooperate with both
parents, and teachers under his super.
vision. In short, he is hustler, just
the kind of a man that Manitowo oc
county needs to look after its 100 or
more schools scattered over an area OF
IL towns.
And what can most sincerely rec
ommend Mr.. Voboril, most heartily
for, is his sterling honesty, his straight
forwardness anil manliness. He speaks
as he thinks. No smooth hypocritical
meaningless hattery from his lips. l
fear he is altogether TOO frank and out
spoken to be good campaigner; but
that is just like Mr.. Voboril, he would
sooner sacrifice his chances for the
Office he seeks than to stoop 10 any
shrewd dishonest political intrigue or
anything not compatible with his
aight-forwardness He is conduct.
ing good clean campaign and if elect
ed will be credit to the office. Vote
for Voboril, it will be no mistake.

tisian and efficient educational system.
We agree with you that man can
hold office too long to the detrirnent of
the public; but that article said good
man. And I say again yoa can't keep a
good man, lin the full sense of the word
good in office too long. We also agree
with you that when the time for a
change comes, it is the duty OF the
majority to make the decision But that
inae has not drrived.
And in closing | wish to say that
know the voters of Manitewoc County
will not believe some OF the statements
that Mr. Meisnest's opponents are using
in trying to defeat him.
The good work Mr.. Meisnest has
done, is written in the hearts OF the peo'
pie and cannot be erased by false state
ments; and Mr.. Voboril is only hurting
himself by allowing some of these
statements to be made.
