PLAYING WITH FIRE

in which the company is seeking
to be relieved of its tax assessment
TOR a system of permanent street
paving. We are also advised that
there is some appreciable sentiment
in the city council for the granting
of this decidedly unusual request.
While we have not read this petition
we understand that the company
makes its claim for relief from th,,
payment of it's paving assessment
on the grounds that its earnings are
too small to permit of such an out
lay for such purpose.
We are indulging the hope that
our information is at variance with
the real facts in the case for while
we hold no brief for council, we have
all along tried to be fair to it: have
tried to defend it when it had a de.
Tense. although we hold about thirey
per cent IS that body in scant respec'
as a strong administrative force Yet
we cannot bring ourselves to believe
that, the administration would have
he hardihoOd to grant such an un-
usual and such a drastic request. We
say to the council in all soberness
that it is literally playing with fire
when it considers such thing and
# it grants the petition it is liter
ally seeking the political oblivion
which such an act justly merits.
The power to levy taxes is ore of
the most serious responsibilities
vouchsafed to governing bodies un
der our dual system of government;
t is in brief to hand to others the
authority to force fellow citizens to
pay annual sums for the support of
he government. To misuse such
authority would be a piece of gross
malpractice in office, which fair
minded people could not and would
Tot cOndone; to misuse it in the in
crest of a parent company to the
Brunswick Terminal and Railway
Securities company, would be roth
lg short of political suicide,
The serious question of lavying
taxes is not based on earning capac-
" or on the ability Of the property
>wner to pay the taxes; it is sup.
)01ed to be like the snow that falls
On the rich and the poor in equal
ratio.
How unjust it would be if the
2ying power had the right t. tax
wo pieces of property on the same
5treet side by side not on the value
If the property but on the ability of
he owners to pay the amount
assessed!
There il another and more serious
ide to the question now before coun-
il and which threatens to break up
and disturb the entire city pawn
llan. If the city eXempts the City
nd Suburban Railway company from
lay ing its just proportion of these
)aying assessments, there wi be
lany citizens appearing with tn
anne claims; there will be injunc.
ions against the action of the city
md there will be delay, dangerous
md threatening to the splendid
movement now under way, In shor
n listening to the hard luck story o
he City and Suburban, the admins
ration is making a serious mistake
nd one that will not lustre where
UGH addition would not be cut o
place
We very seriously urge the cit
0uncil to turn down this very re
'narkable petition and force tn
! lily and Suburban to do what cthe
property owners are made to do
,ay their just share in this splendi
movement in the interest Of real de
,elopment in the interest CT rea
