new TAX LEVY
PREPARED FOR
CERTIFICATION
Rate Next Year viii Be
S1I055 - Passed at
Special Session,

Joseph L. HOgue, city controller,
today was preparing the 1925 city
tax levy and budget for certifcation
TO county auditor Harry Dunn, fol-
lowing its passage Monday night by
the city council in special session.
The levy of S1.055 on each 500 Of
ta<Able property was passed after a
caucus by councilmen and a brief
discussion IN the floor. The budget
ordinance calls for an expenditure of
S4,155, G4T.6S for the city next year.
The tax rate this year is S1.0S75 or
1925 higher than next years rate
will be.
Two efforts OF Councilman Lloyd
D. Claycombe to amend the section
establishing the sanitary board tax
levy failed. those opposing pointing
out that they did not want to alter
Mayor Shank's figures on the cost of
city government.
Two Efforts Made
Claycombe first moved to add a
cent To the sanitary board levy which
the mayor had reduced 2.5 cents.
Councilmen Ira L. Bramblett and
John z. King voted favorable, but
it was lost by negative votes OF
President Walter W. Wise, Otto Ray.
Ben H. Thompson and Theodore ].
Bernd.
Claycombe Immediately submitted
another amendment which would
cut the general fund from IS to 81
cents and give the extra cent to the
sanitary board. In this motion only
Councilman King supported him.
Following this the levy and budget
were passed unanimously.
II am told by Frank Lingenfelter,
city engineer, that the new sewage
and garbage disposal plant cannot
be operated uless the sanitary board
is given more money" said Clay
combe.
By-PrOducets Net $4,000
Councilman Ray said he learned
the board received $4,000 a year
from by-products of garbage which
was not shown in their budget. He
also supported Mayor Shank's con.
tention that increased property val
UatiOn would give the board more
money on the same levy as this
year.
If all departments could operate
this year, they can do it next year, "
said Councilman Bernd. What we
need is full time among employees we
now have"

L H. Lueier Describes Rebels Fight
 ing in Honduras

Having recently escaped from the revolutionary forces ot Gen. Ter rera. who is the leader of another party" down in Honduras, L. Hector Lueier, son of Mir. and Mrs. r. A. Lueier Is certainly qualified to tell something of the type, methods and habits of the men trying to over throw the Honduras government It will be of general interest therefore, for Patriot readers, to get some first hand information from MT. Lueler, who gives a brief description as fol- lows:
 As rule revolutions in the Cen. tral American republics are chased either as Banana Wars" or as Co mic Opera wars" Distance. however, changes the classification, especially when one is in any of said republics. Honduras and Nicaragua are tied for the championship.
 Not knowing much about Nicara- qua we will try and tell few things about Honduras.
 Most everybody knows what shock troops are. Senor General Ferrera, the revolutionary commander in chief has quite a body of these shock troops" In this case they literally are a shock. Perhaps short de- scriptian wouldn't be amiss.
 in stature they are of medium height, very dark, some almost black, but not negroid. Education Is a mi nus quantity; but they do fight and fear nothing. .Ferrera's Indians" as they are called are armed to the nth degree You may not think so now, but were you to see them you would surely believe it. This arm ment consists of ''maehete. This machete is a knife with three foot blade ana one cutting edge. It is used for either shaving. sharpening pencils, cutting trees or building houses, not to forget it's use as sur gical instrument in removing su- perfiuous arms, legs, heads, etc. 'Ferrefa's Indians" are all past mas fers in the art of ..maehete.' They bore hole into the handle and tie their gem" to their waist with a rawhide thong. They are then ready for business.
 Some people will wonder how a body of men armed with nothing but bare steel can defeat troops armed with Winchester repeAters. That IS where Senor Ferrera shows himself as | a psychologist. even though he never 1 heard of Professor James.
 The average man, if he Is armed does not really fear bullet. He car at least retaliate if he has any gooc luck But cold steel is mighty de i moraliziHg
 Imagine body of 200 men armed with machetes dangling from theii wrists. They are charging at a fas run and nothing Is going to make them stop but complete annihilatior before they come within striking dis tance. It's far from a eheerfu thought to know that one of thes, machetes can go through any part oi the human body like a knife througl a pot of butter Add to this the fac that troops down there are poorl, trained, if trained at all, and hav, little if any morale. it is not surpris ing that Don Ferrera is quite ; nightmare After seeing them once you would no longer call them GO mic Opera wars
 At least that's the way ] felt
