WASTE OF PUBLIC
MONEY RAISES TAXES
The wasting of countless millions
of dollars of the public money at this
time on schemes llko tho "Uoulovnrd"
link, Ogden avenue extension nnd
Western avenue nnd Itoboy street fads
is having a bad public effect.
Tho proposition to tax tho peoplo
of Chicago $3,800,000. for helping
South Water street lnndloids by
"beautifying" that stieot Is another
humbug.
Tho whole thing is a dissatisfying
element that Is hard to understand
nnd tho bond propositions uro all In
favor of an exclusive class.
These so-called Improvements only
incrcaho tho high cost of living nnd
spur moro peoplo to living boyond
their moans.
Vote against nil of tho bond Issues
In November.
Rents will go up enormously as a
result of this "plan" to enrich con
tractors by "beautlfjtng" pot districts.
Property owners do not know whoro
they aro gottlng off at.
Tax bills noxt January will ho
nbout nno-thlrd hlghor than last Jan
uary Martin O'Brien, head of tho tax
extension bureau, estimated, duo to
increased rates allowed various tax
ing bodies by tho Legislature.
An Idea of tho proportion of tho
increase was glvon by Mr O'Brien
thus:
"Take a North Side homo valued
at $0,000. Last year tho assessed
valuation was $2,000, tho tax rato
$C 21 nnd tho tax $124.20. This year
its assessed valuation l raised to
$3,000 and tho rato Is lowered to
approximately $5.25, but tho tax will
amount to $165."
Tho rates probably will not bo de
termined until November. Tho dis
tribution last jear was:

Concerning the new revolution In
Peru, Senutor Shennun of Illinois hnd
this, among other things, to say In the
senate :
"Mr. President, I rend nmong tho
slgnntory nations to tho peace cove
nant, tho 112 original elect, tho nnnio
of Peru. At three o'clock- Inoppor
tune time, Indeed on tho morning of
the Fourth of July, 1011), .two regiments
of soldiers rushed In on tho palace of
thu president nt Limn, seized by force
Sonnr Don Jose Pardo, president of
Peru, ami Immediately conveyed him
to the penitentiary. I shall observe
with mild curiosity what our president
thinks of It. '
"Two soldiers and three, civilians
were killed. While tho slaughter was
fur from satisfactory for n coup d'etat
In btich u republic, the principle of self
determination of u freu peoplo Is felt
to be Hiillkiently vindicated.
"Peru had an election for prcsl-
countered with two regiments of soldiers."
FOR 25 YEARS
"The sens will not ho entirely clear
of dangerous floating mines for -'5
jours o come,"
This Is the news which the prlnco
of Monaco gives to the world. Besides
being ruler of almost the Miiullest prin
cipality In thu woi Id, his majesty Is
credited with nniilher distinction: Ho
Is one of the highest uiithorltles In the
science of ocenii ouriouts.
The prince of Monaco renssures
us, however, to the extent of saying
that after a few moro yours the chance
of n ship striking u floating mine will
bo, perhaps, one In fifty. Yet Unit
(-bunco remains.
Spokesmen for the British navy
lay all the blame for this floating
nienaco upon the bonds of tho Ger
mans. Thoy dellberutely discarded a
standard device designed to render
contact mines harmless ufter n certain
elapsed time, says tho navy, with the
okiilt Unit overv neriiliin inliin nvnr
until It Is found nnd exploded or until
of tho sea thiouj.ii Its buuixs.
