ty Tax Problem

Tax payers gathered together yester-
day morning at 10 o'clock at the ar
mory hall TO discuss the reductions of

to the effect that committee of seven
appointed by the chairman, j. n. An
drews, to draw up a permanent tax

some scheme by which the burden up
on the taxpayers could be alleviated

The financial condition Of the city
was outlined by j. y. Andrews. tempo
rary chairman who said that Szg5,oOO
of bonded Indebtedness antedated tne
Civil war: s125,oo0 voted by the state
legislature and passed by lack OF ref
erendum to the people; $150,00o for
school bonds and $4,000 in time war
rants making a total indebtedness of
$685.. 900, which the tax payer shad no
voice in making.
o. J. Semmes disputed this assertion
and said that the people OF Escamola
had voted for the special school tax
from which the $4,000 had been
raised and that the school board was
not going to incur single dollar OF
Indebtedness in the future but would
confine itself 10 its present budget Of
expenditures for the coming fiscal year
Mr.. Andrews said that If the people
do nos wake up and do something, the
situation will be serious, although 1t
IS in pretty serious condition at pre-
sent. The tax payers are not alto
gether to bIame-instead of looking at
the thing in an open way, the taxes

SMALL CARDS BANNED BYPOSTOFFICE DEPT. AS
 CHRISTMAS GREETING

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. The small sized Christmas card has en- gagged the antagonism of the Post Office Department Inaugurating a campaign against the use of cards of small size the Department today is sending out literature urging the dis couragement of this sort of mail dur ing the Christmas season. It is point ed out that because of their differenc in size from ordinary mail, these small cards are difficult to handle and are thereby responsible for heavy delays in the handling of mail at a time when speed is essential. Cards of ordinary size, conforming to that of letters, are of course not objected to.
