opening the Klamath Indian res
ervation and distribution of the
tribal properly, did not appear be
fore the Central Labor council Mon
day ovenlng to necuro I'.i endorse
ment, according to tho ollklal mln
iles of the meeting.
F. A. Ilakor of tho First Stnto nnd
Savings bank was present to oppose
the bill, however, nnd secured per
mission of the labor men to address
their gathering. He nttac'cod the
sincerity of tho bill as presorted by
Mr. Ashurst and said that tbo adop
tion of the bill, ns It rcnJt al
present, would be calamltnup, both
for the Indians of tbo reservation
nnd for tho community in general
Mr. Baker said that the measure
lias not the sanction of nny of tno
g eminent department iti' crested;
that neither) tho local ngent, tie)
commiHloncr of Indian affairs ot the
department of tho Interior, have an
knowledgo of It, and that Mr
Ashurst's authority to act in the
matter appeared In a largo mo'iHnru
to be Belf-connstituted. Ho be
sought the Inbor council not to
lend the weight of its endorsement
to the meiiBuro
After bearing Mr. Unkor tbo
council moved, in view of M".

reply, to lay tbo matter over for n

"Hearing that Mr. Ashurst wui o

PROPOSED TAX
AILYZED Of
JUDGE LEITT
Editor Herald:
Confessing tbo truth of the famil
iar adngo, "Fools rush in where nn
golfl fear to tread," tbo wrltor, ncvor
tholcBH, must brnvo tho possibility of
being classed with tbo former and
discuss briefly certain phases of tho
special election.
Tho proposed amendment to sec
tion 115 of tho charter raising the
limit of taxation from .015 mills to
.028 mills is by far tho most impor
tant meanuro HUbmlttod. Feeling
that Its Importanco is not fully ap
preciated nnd that, because of a lack
of understanding of its Importance,
tho city may bo placed in an awk
ward poBltlon financially, has led tho
writer into this discussion.
Lot it bo understood at tho start
that tho writer Is not an advocato of
a .028 mill tax lovy nor does ho ad
vocate that a .028 mill tax limitation
is tho proper thing, but is simply
taking tho measure as It appears on
tho ballot into consideration with
other facts in order that tho Impor
tance and necessity for raising tho
limit may bo Illustrated and empha
sized. My starting point is this fact: Tho
common council provided for the
present fiscal' year a total revenue of
?GG,89S (the present year ends May
31 noxt). Under tho constitution
tho council could increaso that
amount for the noxt fiscal year C
por cent without a vote of tho pco
plo; that would produce a total rov
cnuo of $70,911.8S.
From the best Information obtain
able, tbo total aggregate valuation
of proporty upon which tljo tax rate
for the next year Is to be based Is
$3,475,000. Tboroforo, it would re
quire a rate of taxation of 20.3 mills
to produce $70,911 SS; and the char
ter "limits tho rato to .015 mills.
Permit mo to remark at this point
thnt, while tho council would have
tbo .constitutional authority to in
creaso its present year's revenue G
per cent, it would not havo charter
authority to lovy a rato of taxation
that would produce tho amount. It
is evident that it was tho intention
that tho constitutional G per cent
permission should bo exorcised, by
municipalities, within tho limitation
of their charter-taxing powers.
It is safe to assert that overy citi
zen of tho city is vitally Interested
in having a legal tax lovy whether it
is .015 mills, 20.3 mills or 23. S mills.
As a matter ot fact, it is conclusively
shown by the report on tho financial
condition of tho city rendered to the
council a short timo since, that It
will require approximately $11,800
in excess of tho amount stated
above or $S2,S00 for tho noxt fiscal
year, and require a tax levy of 23.8
mills to produce. This, too, bear In
mind, is cxcluslvo of any proposed
or contemplated raiio In fcalafries
and is founded on a conservative es
timate of tho city's requirements.
This appears to be the situatien:
In the absenco of any other source
of rellof tho proposed amendment to
section 115 should bo adopted if
is deemed worth while to maintain
tho financial integrity of tho city at
par. I am aware that thoro is con
siderable opposition to placing the

and social evening at the ChriyUn
church last night. Tho Hcv John

School missionary was a guest of the

its scope really resolved itself into a

Stores and business houses will

. tiro suspension of business will
I mark tho holiday's observance.
'
tax limitation so high, but the meas-
'uro as submitted, taken In connec
tlon with the facta aboljo stated,
seems to me to dictate a lavoraDio
vote on tho measure, and relying on
the council, In the event the propos
ed salary increases are not approved,
to keep within the limit of 23.8
mills, tho lowest rato the city can
possibly get along with for tho noxt
fiscal year and preserve Its financial
standing and integrity.
