Cutting Down Taxes. A slatternly administration may use two distinct methods of unjust tax extortion: extravagance in using public money; and raising more public money than is necessary. The tax payer is as surely robbed when his money is thrown away as when he is compelled to pay more than needs require. Dr. Zimmerman's administration is guilty of both forms of unjust taxation. The rate is higher than it need be ; taxes have not been economically used. That the rate is higher than need be is shown by tax rates in other well governed towns of about the same size. It is further shown by an analysis of the needs of the city. To meet all the needs of this community it is not necessary to have a rate of $1.10. But where the present administration has most failed is its extravagant manner of using public funds. To hire an incompetent man to guard the health of the city is extravagance. To employ three gangs on the streets without foremen and without time records is extravagance. To have a set of men wandering about over brick streets with a shovel cleaning up a little here and a little there is extravagance. To maintain a garbage crematory equipped to handle less than half the city's wastes is extravagance. To have an ash hauling crew so incompetent as to need an extra wagon to pick up oversights is extravagance. To hire a man to superintend the board of public works who has no special training for such

duties is extravagance, to out tnere is no limit. The one remedy for all this is to install the well recognized methods of taxation based on an annual budget. This would apportion funds among various departments determined by past expenditures and carefully ascertained future costs and would prevent the arbitrary transfering of funds from one department to another. It would compel heads of departments to keep itemized records of all moneys spent and thus avoid all the small leakages which in the aggregate bulk so large. Best of all, it would furnish the administration a definite and carefully planned program for the year's work and prevent the hop scotch methods of the present wherein the business affairs of the city are so completely at the mercy of the whims of one man.

deal with . Like the Turk and the comet, sickness was a visitation from on high. This theory of the divine origin of disease persists still. Somewhere in the background of many minds lurks this fallacious belief that maladies will come in the nature of things and must be patiently endured since they cannot in

any way be cured. j Next to the misguided fear that it means j extravagance and therefore a rise in taxes this !

The Milk Bogey. Wornout mothers will sometimes try to frighten their children into good behavior by telling them "a booger man will get you if you don't- be good." To what desperate straits the Zimmerman machine is now driven is shown by their .frantic efforts to conjure up some kind of a scare with w7hich to frighten voters into supporting the sixth time candidate. One of the latest is the milk bogey. It has been confidently stated in a local paper, it was announced at the grand rally of last Friday night, that the one effect of the improved milk ordinance recommended by Dr. Davis and originally advocated by the Palladium will be to raise the price of milk to ten cents. It was not considered necessary by those who started this fairy tale to go into details and show just why milk wyould go up. That procedure might not have fitted in with their purposes because it would have shown them that the ultimate effect of that ordinance will be to lower the price of milk. Neither did they take the trouble to investigate prices in other cities already using the methods which will probably be made compulsory in the new ordinance ; if they had they would have discovered very little materials with which to make a bogey. In Dayton, to cite but one example, milk is now retailing at seven cents, yet the dairy regulations there are much stricter than the extremest requirements of the proposed ordinance. Ever since the campaign opened the Zimmermanites have shown very little skill in the art of manufacturing bogeys ; as time goes on and their frantic fears increase, they will probably show still I??? Drowning men grasp at straws.

Public Health. In Liverpool hangs a large painting depicting a scene during one of London's terrible plague epidemics. Dead and dying are lying about with spotted and bloated faces, distorted limbs and hideously deformed bodies. Among the heaped victims a band of ghouis is robbing the corpses of rings and finery. And in the foreground's center stalks a large figure clothed in coarse, John Baptist like gvb, reading from a Bible to the still living and exhorting them to repent from the sins which had brought down on them the visitation of Black Death. . In that day everybody understood disease as a scourge sent by Omnipotence in punishment of wronjf. Maladie were problems for priests to

ian, argues that sanitation was the Nineteenth century's greatest achievement. During the long night of the Middle Ages the death rate at one time reached such appalling height that the average length of life fell to eighteen years. It is now more than forty. Before modern sanitation and medicine life was so precarious in cities that they were unable to keep themselves going and had to recruit citizens from country districts. The populace died off faster than it was born.

There is the Panama canal region, in instance. Everybody knows how yellow fever and scarlet fever and malaria, so ravaged the ranks of laborers during De Lessep's attempt to construct the waterway that he found the alarming death rate his greatest obstacle. Everybody will recall that the project was vigorously opposed when the U. S. took it up on the grounds that no person could live in the heart of those marshes. And in the beginnings of the work it did appear as if fever and death would prove mightier than human grit and steam power but Dr. Gorgas went down with a trained staff of sanitarians and cleaned up the place. Today it has a lower death rate than many northern cities. And the same thing is true of the Philippines. White soldiers perished in Manila at a rate not

frequently made known to the public and would today be dropping off from fever and smallpox had not the federal sanitarians cleaned up the town. Sanitation has made Manila a desirable home for white as well as black. Insanitation killed more Spanish-American war soldiers than Spanish bullets. Scarlet fever,

typhoid and malaria decimated the ranks more rapidly than knives and guns. A recent report from the Second Division now stationed near Galveston shows for the period encamped no cases of smallpox, or typhoid, and but eighteen cases of malaria among twelve thousand men ! In 1911, with public sanitation of about the same effectiveness as the average city, Yakima County, Washington, lost 538 by death from all causes and had a typhoid rate of 128 per 100,000 ; after one single year of thorough public sanitation under an expert sanatarian it reduced its total death to 393 and its typhoid rate to only 16 per 100,000! During the years 1881-6 New York city had a typhoid death rate of 40 per every 100,000; by 1910 this was reduced to 12 and today it is still further reduced to the point where almost every case found in New York is one brought in from the rural districts. What has been done by adequate and thorought sanitation elsewhere $an be done in Richmond. According to Board of Health records Richmond had 26 cases of typhoid in 1912. During this year the record shows 19 to and including September; if there were 40 cases during the recent epidemic, as is believed, the total number during the past ten months is 59. Fifty-nine persons have suffered and some have died and all from an absolutely unnecessary disease; a disease that may be completely stamped out in one year's time. And what is true of typhoid is also true of scarlet fever, measles, chicken pox and tuberculosis in varying degrees. An adequate health department would save the city thousands of dollars every year.
