Notes
EQUITABLE TAXES

EQUITABLE TAXES
Taxes are never popular and very
seldom regarded as wholly equit-
able. but the Council last night
made every effort to distribute the
new taxes fairly over those using
street property most and those en-
gaging III luxury occupations. Ad.
justments were made in the inter
est OF fairness, and all angles were
regarded. As a result Of the discus.
sion any inequalities are uninten.
tional. The general disposition of
those who appeared before the
Council last night in reference to
taxes was that all understood the
necessity OF raising more money
and all were willing TO pay some
thing to the City directly; and the
main problem Was that Of distribut-
ing the burden fairly. It is TRUE that
the city must have money to pros
eeute its present extensive program
successfully; and with that neces-
slty understood, ii may be predict.
ed that the demonstrated fair pur.
pose OF the Council will assist in
having the new expenses accented
without objection The new taxes
become due July LIST, and the Coun.
ell IS anxious, must have. in fact.
10 nave them paid promptly.
