could be found guilty of either Incompetency, inefficiency, disloyalty
to the interests of the government, or dishonesty.

Is West More Honest or Wealthier?
I(< The United States department of commerce and labor has Issued
| a special report for the year 1907 containing some highly interesting
statistics of cities having a population of over $30,1)00.
j Not the least in Interest is that array of figures and facts is the
personal property listed for taxation. .
-1- The five large cities In the eastern half of the country—
York, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis and Boston —with a popula
tion (oensus of 1900) of 7,565,604, list $1,039,080,585 of personal
property. That would be $136.81 per capita.
k> Five large western cities San Francisco, Spokane, Los Angeles,
Tacoma and Seattle—with a population (1900) of 750,217 list $265,
--059,728 of personal property. This would be $353.31 per capita.
-..- Summed up, the west Is either wealthier than the east in the
ratio of $353,31 to $136.81 OR is more honest in the same ratio.
.-" Philadelphia is, by the same report, the poorest or the most dis
honest city in the United States, for its personal property list Is $1.
--906,973 —Just $1.49 per Inhabitant (1900 census).
S7 S The average Phlladelphlan has but a dollar watch, a brass chain
and a Jackknlfe—he tells the assessor. __
