The only question about which

The question OF whether or not this
arbitrary rate OF percent is unjust
and lnequitable. too high or too low,
is a question OF fact that can be ad-
juSted by a comparison with the
valuation and rate OF the tax levied
on other classes OF property. When
this comparison is cXhauStlvely
made. and the rate is shown to he

Every organization and every agen-
cy that can aid in sustaining our citl-
zens in their thrift drive must take up
the task now with redoubled energy.
1t would be a calamity If, after the
glorious lessons OF thrift we have
learned from the war, we should, with
the approach of peace, again go back
TO our old ways Of improvidence and
waste. To do this would be to retreat
from one of the proudcst heights at

BIG QUESTION
TO CHARTER

There is no special excitement as to
the city election tomorrow. In only
two of the wards is there a contest for
alderman. In ward three, j. s. Austin
and B. L. Edwards will fight it out and
in ward seven the contest is between
DR.. o. L. Scott and II. L. Clark.
The voter in the other five wards w1sl
simply step up to the booth and regis
ter a choice for city marshal, the candi-
dates being Percy M. Varncy and ). y.
Wright. OF course in all wards the
big question is whether the city is to
be bonded for $1,000, 900 or more to
pay for all the street improvements
since 1905. The ballot is SO arranged
that those in favor of the Richardson
bill to bond the city for street inn
provements in the past as well as fu-
ture will vote yes. Those opposed and
satisfied with present conditions will
vote no. Although very little has been
said of this proposed amendment, many
are inclined to think it is the vital
problem to be acted On tomorrow by
the city voters.
For the city election the voting
places are as follows:
Ward No. Clarified school.
Ward No. City hall.
Ward No. 3-Court house.
Ward No. 4-Corner Of 12th and Mill
streets.
Ward No. 5-Raddaway's store.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS
President Of HE American Society for Thrift

struction to go through, and there lies
ahead of us the mightiest conflict of
international commercial competition
u country even has faced.
War has taught us thrift in thou
sands of ways. The necessity Of yes
terday has become the luxury Of to
day. Let us not imagine that In these
days of the final battles Of the war;, we
can return to an era OF extravaganza
and luxury.
There will be a change with the
definite end Of the war; much of the
man power, coal, transportation and
capital now employed for strictly war
purposes will be released for non-war
industries; certain lines Of business
which now are dormant will be reviv-
ed; there will be a renaissance Of the
arts.
But there will never come a time
when we can or will tolerate waste.
Let us learn this fact now.
During the war We have discovered
the knack of saving money; We have
learned to eat simple foods and 10
dress less extrayagantly; we have ac-
CELEBRATED our production; we have re-
doubled our efficiency.
These conditions must continue. Let
this message be shouted from the
house tops.
II has not been difficult to practice
thrift under the inspiring impulse OF.
the war; It will be harder to practice
it in the less eyentful days Of peace.
But it will be just as necessary and
the patriotic obligation will be just as
essential.
We have learned war thrift, now
let us prepare to learn peace thrift.

City Attorney Makes Few
Remarks About Amendment


B. w. Macy, city attorney, makes
the following statement regarding the
proposed Richardson amendment to the
city charter, wherein it is proposed to
issue q million or more city bonds to
pay for all paving since 1905:
"Many people are laboring under
the delusion that the Richardson 1ill
will refund to them their street inn
provement assessments in cash, the
same as was done with the sewer re-
fund.
"If the bill should pass, all the prop
erty owner would get in exchange for
his street assessments that he has paid
in, will be a 20 year iastallment note
bearing 4 per cent interest, one TWEEN
tieth Of which is ss~%ble annually.
Sin other words, if a property has
paid in $1,000 street assessment, he will
