Show FILMXfi TIIH EKI1LEJI. Tmsls from the Kaglo Kock( Idaho) Ida-ho) 7XmCK "It Is indeed a bad state of attain Salt Lake is being brought to. Six months ago tho treasury was full of money, and today she Is busted. Things look rather shaky down that oray, and po?ibly she may pull out, but It is rather doubtful." The 7imrs editor overlooks the fact that the depleted treasury is to be replenished by means of there-cent there-cent extortionate tax at-essnients. When tht proceeds or tiie infliction of the present pojkjlar burdens dis appear, aj they will with atonlsh-ing atonlsh-ing rapidity, the paople will still be here to bo victimized, to refill the empty -'carpetbag," tho emblem of tho 'Liberal" party. In the campaign which preceded the municipal election In February, avhen thu carpetbag was canicd by marchers in the "Liberal" ;irades on poles, on the backs of the men, or in the shape of hand-satchels, or in miniature on the bppel of the coat, the slgnlS-c&tion slgnlS-c&tion of the pymbol nu said to lie, "When we get Into office we will fill lhee receptacles from tho pockets pock-ets of the people." The prediction has been largely fuldlleJ, so fir as the '-Liberal" officials aro concerned, con-cerned, oftlse having been multiplied multi-plied beyond all rvaou or necessity ton-ward party men for political work, tnudi of it of fraudulent character. True, as the Timet asserts, the city treasury has been more than cleancl out, a deficit having been incurred In addition, but victimization victimiza-tion by excessive taxation laccs the rapaciou administration of municipal mu-nicipal business onae more in funis. |
