(Under the present charter the city did contract for an annual payment for electric lights.) Docs the constitution of 18T5 amend and limit, the taxing power given nsiu 1872? The Supitine Court decided (78 Mo. 188) that the intent to give a constitutional provision retrosec live effect mnst be clearly expressed. In that case a corporation had a leg islature charter, providiuj for single voting of stock in corparate elections, j A subscnnenl constitution provided tor accumulative votiug ot stock at all corporate elections. It was held that the constitution did not repeal the legislative charter, (sec 41 Mo. 157.) If the constitution docs repeal, aud some lawyers say it does, then the direct taxing power is the same un der both charters. The new charter has the advautagc of increased liccns- uj. power as mentioned in Sec. 1947. l'he ntictiou would arise will the i:y exercise itf It has failed to tx- reisc what it already has, as to drays. oorters, restaurants. &c See sec. 1770 23 of article ill of tlic charier. Another benefit is that of obtaining advantage of all litigation of other cities organized under the new charter, with a corresponding disad vantage of having said charter intended bv each Legislature at the behests ef other cilies. Another advantage is that in suits for taxes, the proccediuss are the s:.me ss la County and State tax -nits, a simpler proceed urc thau our own. Under the present charter the city ifoje cau license and tax ferries. Under the ucie, the county aud State cau also license aud lax. A leading member of the City Council informs ine that the city uses all its i-e' enue based O'i the 50 cent raie. That is the extreme limit of the constitution, and we cannot raise it. even by a two-third vote, be cause we aireadv owe over 5 per cent of our assessed valuation i. e. The valnr.tinti is 'fsctt.000, five per cent ihcfetif is SHJ.OCO. aud our Normal School Bonds am! 1!. ii. Bonds greatly excecd that. Then where is the money to come from for waterworks? I have hicrely set out the maiu differences in the two charters for the voters to compare, aud have not at tempted to discuss ihem. The writer is interested in the prosperity of the town a'ui is for the new charter if hcm-tiei.'ii and against it if not. Both si ies ought to be fairly discussed so that the people can vote intelligently, il I have made env mistatemeuts fair criticisiiii will be appreciated.
