PADDING ASSESSORS LISTS.

Frank NJ. Ritter. chairman OF the
Voters League. has rendered dis
tinct service In calling attention TO
fact that the assessors lists have been
padded In Organization" wards.
The reason for the padding is p!oin.
For the purpose of appor,ioning sona-
tors 10 the state Legislature, Phila-
delphia Is divided into districts. These
districts. under the decree OF the City
Charter, have been adopted as the
units for the election OF members Of
the City Council. For each 10000
voters and for a fraction 81 10000
above so per cent. one Councilman Is
apportioned. II is TO the advantage OF
the politicians 10 send as many OF
their own people To the Council az ie
possible and 10 keep down the repre-
sentation of those who will not take
orders or be governed by organization
leaders.

CUT WASHINGTON TAXES TO
PER CENT SAYS REGAIN.

at is all nonsense for the people of
/ Washington to pay per cent taxes
l per cent is enough. One third of
what you pay now is sheer waste, I'M
nece. sary, pure extravaganza; and
another third is easily covered by tax
able property now escaping taxation.
You can cut your tax bill from $3.50
to Coo if you want to-" said former
congressman Frank S. Regain of H.
linois in an address on "The Fool
Taxpayer" at convocation at Wash
ington State College.
And Regain knows what he is talk
ing about. 1t is his special business
to go about and help lift the tax load
from poor mems shoulders and put it
where it belongs by digging out the
millions of dollars worth of untaxed
property escaping the tax lists.
A short time ago he took II days
off in Rockford, ILL.,, and dug out $4O,-
100000 of taxable property that was
not paying a cent. Another time he
put in five weeks in Chicago for some
real estate men who were feeling the
tax weight too heavy, and helped
them get IS times as much property.

the rolls as was already taxed. 1t is
easy to see how that would reduce the

continued. 81 crossed Mich. avenue

those % game wardens, what chance

As to waste in other cities, he spoke
of capitol building with BAT janitors
where they discharged 300, "and the
spitoons never shone so bright as they
did next moning!"
I'VE men simply must do something
about all this waste and untaxed
property, for the women have some
thing to say now in politics, and if we
