nance. said the demands made by man
datory levies and increases in salaries
and other causes made the raising of
rate imperative. The general fund had
to be increased, he declared, on account
OF the raise in pay by legislative act
OF the patrolmen and firemen, and also
due to the double platoon system for
the latter as well as the firemen's pen
sion fund He said that the city tax
assessors salary had been raised 81, 900,
as well as a raise for the plumbing in
spector and others. The increase in
the expense OF operating the fire de-
partment, due to salary Increases etc,
amounts to approximately $4,000 while
the added expense to operate the po-
lice department due to salary increases
approximates 100000.
Mr.. Mason added. ut would really
take rate Of $3.50 to give all depart
ments what they need. Now, mind
you, | say what they need, not what
they want. Mr.. Quinn, of the depart
ment Of streets, bridges and sewers,
told us 1t would take $500 900 to get
the streets in condition. He will get
$425, 900. Mr.. Miller stated that he
would need at least $4S9, ,7S4.35 to put
the fire department where 1t ought to

WASHINGTON, May 21,-President
Wilson has adopted toward congress
new policy. Hitherto he has ielt th"e
as party leader he should outline mo

dents attitude, -.
The presidents hcsitancy to lay down

Of Il surprise, but accentuates the re-
sponshiltty which he feels now belongs

a substantial majority Mr wilson

consequence, the Democrats accom-

! stands out prominently. thus far as a
| Republican leader sufficiently strong
| to keep the ranks solid and force any
legislative program through undoubl-
| edly the Republicans expect to rule by
| committee by group of leaders,
And the first step taken by the group
| sygtem, for there have been plenty or
conferences In the last two weeks, was
| the announcement by Senator Lodge,
| Republican leader In the senate, that
! the covednnt or the league Of nations
| was unacceptable, worse than when

These senators would not have sign-

So It can be said that the Democratic
party has been given its first issue.

eetvahly Il the Republican purpose to
amend the covenant Is achieved, there
will be prolonged discussion and tho
subject Of the league OF nations may

But the democrats, quick to sei8e

are very happy today over what they
believe to be Republican blunder.
They think that on the issue of post

the country win support an early rati-
