WASHINGTON, January A.
Political observers are agreed that en-.

dental race depends upon whether
either of the present parties incor-
porate into their platforms such pol
icies as government ownership of min
es and railroads, with addition of gov
ernment aid to farmers.
Many wiseacres believe Bryan is
planning to get into the Democratic
platform a plank declaring for gov
ernment control of railways.
In their platform the Republican
leaders are preparing to lay the great
est stress upon government economies,
possibly advocation consolidation of
department or classification of bu-
reaus, so the same subjects will not
be under jurisdiction of more than one
department
Both parties are expected to bid

In another of his reckless screeds

From selling view point at the pres

nearly two per cent above par, Mr..
O'Neill. Does that satisfy you, Mr..

Well, "The Oasis" will give you
some more.
Upon the same page it is chroni-
cled that in the same week the city of
Dundee, Michigan, sold $125,OOO paw
ing bonds, at 1886. How is that,
Mr.. O'Neill?
Upon the page following it is set
forth that on November 18th. the city
of London, Ohio sold $45,5O0 of 5K
per cent bonds at 1OO.95. How does
that strike you, Mr.. O'Neill?
Upon the same page it Is set forth
that on November 25. the municipal
ity of PalO Alto, California sold $751;
900 five per cent bonds at 102.O3. How
does that suit you Mr.. O'Neill?
Upon the same page one can read
that on November 20, Gall these quo
tations are but six weeks back, and
Mr.. O'Neill's def extends back a
year,, the city of Waterbury, COnnec-

Mr.. O'Neill?
And from those two pages there
can be quoted long list of sales of

INCREASE IN
VOLUME OF
MUNICIPAL
REVENUE

One of the greatest bugbears con-
jured by Mr.. O'NeiV, the Herald, and
other opponents of the bond issue. is
alleged great increase in taxation tina:
will result.
In presenting that conJuration the
sOrcerers know there is no possibility
of anything Of the kind, that the linn.
itatiOns of the law prevent it. In
the first place there is limit by law
upon the tax rate. No matter what
the needs the city cannot fix tax
rate higher than one per cent. II
has been close up to that figure a
long time; but little less of late.
Then there is a limit upon the vol
ume of money that can be raised by
taxation each year. Ten per cent in.
crease in volume of the sum raised
in a municipality is all allowed by
law in any municipality. No city
can raise in any one ear, by taxation
on property, any sum greater than
that brought in the preceding year By
ten per cent. AS an example: If
the volume of property tax in 1919
was 100000, in 1920 it cannot be
increased beyond $4,000, no matter
how great the increase in the tax
roll. An investment of millions O.
dollars might double the tax roll in
given year; but the total collected
could not exceed the total of the pre-.
ceding year more than ten per cent,
To keep within the bounds the tax
rate would have to be reduced. Here
tOfOre increase in total assessments
each year has supplied the ten pei
cent increase in volume, and kept tax
rates stationery. Such increases
will continue to do so, even with in
terest on the sinking fund on the bond
issue provided. All that was thresh.
ed out in the council in its deIibera.

Mr.. WISE SHOWS
UP DISTORTION OF

WATER RECORD

With mendaclOus effrOntery the
Herald has been asserting that the
municipal water plant at the river
supplied 10000 persons (including SOL
diers in camp with water. Their
assertions have been given front pase
space despite exposure in "The Oasis"
of their mendacity and unfairness.
Yesterday Mr.. J. E. Wise called at
tentiOn of Mr.. Sisk to the unfairness
of the attitude of the Herald in that
particular. Mr.. Sisk volunteered to
publish a statement with regard to
the matter from Mr.. Wise, who wrote
a short article and handed it to the
Herald.
Mr.. Wise's statement was publish
ed, but it was pushed into an incOn-
spicuous position on the last page,
and preceded by cOunterstatement,
admitting that in 1916 there were
other sources of water supply, but
minimizing their Importance. But,
then, no one expects anything fair
from the Herald. They are not built
that way over there.
Mr.. Wise's communication to the
Herald follows this:
The daily morning oasis., 1920-01-15
To the Editor of the Herald,
Nogales, Arizona.
Dear Sir.

To the Editor of the Herald,
Nogales, Arizona.
Dear Sir:
I investigated the statement made
on the front page of the Herald last
night that the Nogales Water System
supplied 10000 in 1916. Such was not
the case as the United States govern
ment used three wells as auxiliaries
to the municipal plant on the river.
These were under the superintendency
of Mr.. S. w. BRYANT at present super
intendent of the City Water Depart
ment. These wells were located as
follows: one at the Nogales Jersey
Farm, another on the Clagett proper
ty near the present S. P. stock yards
and the third at the Monte Carlo
ranch. All these places were in close
proximity to the water mans OF tne
Nogales Water Department. Orders
were issued by the military author
tiles not to use city water for water
ing stock owing to the shortage and
use as little as possible for any other
purposes. The city plant on the
Breen ranch was also put In repair
and was run as an auxiliary for
time. This makes it plain that the
city plant was inadequate for the sit
uation at that time.
