To Tha-Journal: I was surprised to see
In The Journal Tuesday evening as edi
torial stating that "Portland taxes ought
to be reduoed one-third.; The new Char
ter ought to effect the saving." ' -
Portland taxes are and have been ainca
1898 as low aa could be expected. No
money has been wasted by the city sine
1388. There has been no extravagance la
city government since 189s. The present
charter authorises a levy of only t mllbf
for all purposes, including XVt mill fog
lntoreet. . ' -
The new charter authorises a tax levy
of 7H mills, 1 without any levy for in
terett. Money for interest must be lev
led and 'not less than VA mills will do.
Therefore add 2ft mills tor interest, and
the new charter authorize a tax leT
of 1Q mills in place of I mills la present .
charter. , ' '
T)ie proposed new charter does not pur
