''; I The Tacoma Budget I '< Indications are the city is getting careless about I its conservation. I A couple of weeks ago, in violation of the con- I titution of the state, the council proposed to pay I a woman lecturer from the east $75 for coming here to talk. When a kick was made an attempt I was made to legitimize the bill by giving her a I bogus appointment as a "municipal expert." I On the i heels of this Commissioner Mills intro- I iuces an ordinance to pay, in utter disregard of I the laws of the state, $950 for entertaining a fire I chiefs' convention. This ordinance will be up next I Yesterday the city commission agreed with the I oounty commissioners to take the money of the I taxpayers to build a new road to Day island. I xbis road to Day island is for the private benefit of a few citizens who have summer homes there, I ncluding Commissioner Mills. They want to get I a road through A. R. Titlow's land so they can get I their automobiles from Day island •to the ; paved nth avenue boulevard. It would be nice—but why should the little home owners of this city I who have no summer homes on the waterfront and I no automobiles, be taxed to pay the bill. I Titlow has offered to give the land to the Day I island people, who are the only ones to be bene- I fitted, if they will build the road. They are out- I side the city so the city cannot make an assess- I aent, so the commission kindly agreed that it I Would sock one-third of the cost on the general (city taxpayers. Then the county agreed to give I another third which means the city taxpayers must I my most of that also and the Day island people, I ifbo own the island as a private resort r from which I tike public is practically excluded; will only have I to pay one poor third. It is a beautiful scheme—for the Day islanders I including Commissioner Mills. Those workingmen taxpayers in the Fifth and Sixth wards ought to throw up their hats for pure t But this is not all. The city commission is get- ting in the habit of considering such private roads and public streets as legitimate places to put ' the money of the general taxpayers. TWs week it was talking of paving St. Paul ave- nue and Eleventh street across the flatsS^^^K Now when they talk about improving by grad- ing or paving the streets in front of the homes of the poor workingman they simply get up an as- sessment district and the citizens pay the bills.. , . But in the case of Eleventh street and St. Paul avenue the whole 'j cost f would be assessed /against the St. Paul mill, as it owns everything pn both sides of the road. _ . X y So the council spent half an hour this week try- ing to devise some way that the city could take the people's taxes' and help to pay the cost of these im- provements. I v/,r As an excuse for taking public money for these I particular streets it was said they were general thoroughfares, as \u25a0if Pacific avenue, C street, St. I Helens, Yakima, X street, Sheridan, and all the I North End streets that have been paved are not I general thoroughfares. The Day island road and the Eleventh and St. I Paul avenue streets are no different from other streets in the city, and if they are improved the property abutting should foot I th^blU^::;Kl^-.;^-'V The Almighty Dollar in the city treasury belongs to all the people and the city commission should [get it out of its head that it can spend it for what- ever little personal private benefit it chooses. Straws Indicative Everywhere you hear complaint at the growing cost of government in cities. In New York it is »nic. Yet during the past seven years the in- »se in land values in that city, as reflected in the increase in assessments, has by almost 10 per jwfent,exceeded. the entire cost of city government, f Land values are made, not by individuals, but by the community, by all. They could, therefore, Justly be taken iby all to I pay the community ex- pense. Vlfthey had been so taken in New York the past seven "years, no other taxes would have been levied. Every working man in that city would have r. The bulk of the increase in land values is pock- yted bf a few. By folks like the Astors, successful Wad speculators or the endowed 'children of .pion- i e«rs who got in on the ground floor. The many get 'Jtttle at it and the little they get is like the prize in tile lottery, which baits in vastly more money than it compels the insiders to pay out. Bat most of us have in us the hope to own a home xpaot course if there is to be any unearned incrc- HapiA' flying; around iin connection ' with the f land %tosae& in that home; we should want our share. It $8 upon that lottery instinct that the big speculate £k» btme their chances of beating.,back the land Thus far the/ have succeeded, aided by popular njt&ect to study \u25a0 the subject.

An atomizer, the last word In subway etiquette, and a wee* of its use there brings promise that it may be a habit. Lest you don't know what ar atomizer Is, we explain as follows: It is one of those squeeze-the-rub- ber-bulb things till the nozzle squirts a spray of stuff that kills germs. Barbers try to poke It in your eye after sharing, the object being to frighten you into «. tip. Wihen you have your loaded atomizer in the subway shoot a little disinfectant over your up- per person, and if the uncouth person wedged In the doorway has an air you don't like give him a shot of it, too. No one will object, because every sufferer with an imagina- tion has looked over the sea of heads In the cars ahead and con- jured up millions upon millions of microbes rising until the rush of air catches the deadly mass. It took a woman to solve the problem. She boarded an up- town express at Brooklyn Bridge 'and her colonial ' aspect and haughty mien as she sniffed the car drew attention right away. The thin, aristocratic nostrils of the grande dame quivered a mo- ment as she reached Into her knitted handbag, pulling forth an atomizer. Passengers gasped while she calmly sprinkled herself a few times and shot several squirts in- to the atmosphere for good meas- ure.

I The Tacoma Budget

I '< Indications are the city is getting careless aboutI its conservation.I A couple of weeks ago, in violation of the con-I titution of the state, the council proposed to payI a woman lecturer from the east $75 for coming

here to talk. When a kick was made an attemptI was made to legitimize the bill by giving her aI bogus appointment as a "municipal expert."I On the iheels of this Commissioner Mills intro-I iuces an ordinance to pay, in utter disregard ofI the laws of the state, $950 for entertaining a fireI chiefs' convention. This ordinance willbe up next

I Yesterday the city commission agreed with theI oounty commissioners to take the money of theI taxpayers to build a new road to Day island.I xbis road to Day island is for the private benefitof a few citizens who have summer homes there,

I ncluding Commissioner Mills. They want to getI a road through A. R. Titlow's land so they can getI their automobiles from Day island •to the ;paved

nth avenue boulevard. It would be nice—butwhy should the little home owners of this city

I who have no summer homes on the waterfront andI no automobiles, be taxed to pay the bill.

I Titlow has offered to give the land to the DayI island people, who are the only ones to be bene-I fitted, if they will build the road. They are out-I side the city so the city cannot make an assess-I aent, so the commission kindly agreed that itI Would sock one-third of the cost on the general(city taxpayers. Then the county agreed to giveI another third which means the city taxpayers mustI my most of that also and the Day island people,I ifbo own the island as a private resort rfrom whichI tike public is practically excluded; will only haveI to pay one poor third.

It is a beautiful scheme—for the Day islandersI including Commissioner Mills.

Those workingmen taxpayers in the Fifth andSixth wards ought to throw up their hats for pure

tBut this is not all. The city commission is get-

ting in the habit of considering such private roadsand public streets as legitimate places to put 'themoney of the general taxpayers.

TWs week itwas talking of paving St. Paul ave-nue and Eleventh street across the flatsS^^^K

Now when they talk about improving by grad-ing or paving the streets in front of the homes ofthe poor workingman they simply get up an as-sessment district and the citizens pay the bills.. ,. But in the case of Eleventh street and St. Paulavenue the whole 'jcost fwould be assessed /againstthe St. Paul mill, as it owns everything pn bothsides of the road. _ . X y

So the council spent half an hour this week try-ing to devise some way that the city could take thepeople's taxes' and help to pay the cost of these im-provements.

Iv/,r As an excuse for taking public money for theseI particular streets it was said they were generalthoroughfares, as \u25a0if Pacific avenue, C street, St.

I Helens, Yakima, X street, Sheridan, and all theI North End streets that have been paved are notI general thoroughfares.

The Day island road and the Eleventh and St.IPaul avenue streets are no different from otherstreets in the city, and if they are improved theproperty abutting should foot Ith^blU^::;Kl^-.;^-'V

The Almighty Dollar inthe city treasury belongsto all the people and the city commission should

[get it out of its head that itcan spend itfor what-ever littlepersonal private benefit itchooses.

Straws IndicativeEverywhere you hear complaint at the growing

cost of government in cities. In New York it is»nic. Yet during the past seven years the in-»se in land values in that city, as reflected in

the increase in assessments, has by almost 10 perjwfent,exceeded. the entire cost of city government,

f Land values are made, not by individuals, but bythe community, by all. They could, therefore,Justly be taken iby all to Ipay the community ex-pense. Vlfthey had been so taken in New York thepast seven "years, no other taxes would have beenlevied. Every working man inthat city would have

r. The bulk of the increase in land values is pock-yted bf a few. By folks like the Astors, successfulWad speculators or the endowed 'children of .pion-i e«rs who got in on the ground floor. The many get'Jtttle at itand the little they get is like the prize intile lottery, which baits in vastly more money thanitcompels the insiders to pay out.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29—Get outyour atomizer! if the cry In NewYork among subway patrons.

An atomizer, the last word Insubway etiquette, and a wee* ofits use there brings promise thatit may be a habit.

Lest you don't know what aratomizer Is, we explain as follows:It is one of those squeeze-the-rub-ber-bulb things till the nozzlesquirts a spray of stuff that killsgerms. Barbers try to poke It inyour eye after sharing, the objectbeing to frighten you into «. tip.

Wihen you have your loadedatomizer in the subway shoot alittle disinfectant over your up-per person, and if the uncouthperson wedged In the doorwayhas an air you don't like give hima shot of it, too.

No one will object, becauseevery sufferer with an imagina-tion has looked over the sea ofheads In the cars ahead and con-jured up millions upon millions ofmicrobes rising until the rush ofair catches the deadly mass.

It took a woman to solve theproblem. She boarded an up-town express at Brooklyn Bridge'and her colonial ' aspect andhaughty mien as she sniffed thecar drew attention right away.The thin, aristocratic nostrils ofthe grande dame quivered a mo-ment as she reached Into herknitted handbag, pulling forth anatomizer.

Passengers gasped while shecalmly sprinkled herself a fewtimes and shot several squirts in-to the atmosphere for good meas-ure.
