As the fullest light! should be had on this subject we) publish the section of law relating | to this point in full. By a careful perusal it will be seen that every | business, trade and profession 1s subject to this special tux, with the} exception of lawyers, doctors, teach- ers and preachers. Why the gentle- men of those professions should be | exempt is not quite plain to the av- erage mind, but as it is in the stat ute books and is law, it must be right and just. The Tres is not fighting the proposition, but we deem it the duty of a newspaper on occasions of this kind, when the good of the whole people is at stake, | to lay the facts, as near as we can; gather them before our readers, and iet them draw their own conclusions | in the light of reason, instend of up | pealing to blind pyejudic in such | Dalderdash as “enterprise aud pro-| gress, drones tothe rear fast men to| the front, let her boil, siz boom, ete.” | le and} j After reading the additional pow | ers granted the council in extending, grading, macadamizing and gutter | ing streets and alleys, the laying of sidewalks and digging sewers ut the expense of property owners, if our citizens eonclude that it is the best for eur city’s interest to organiz asacity of the third class and are willing to pay for the change by a» vecupation tax, well and good, let us orgenizeassuch. On the other hand if they conelude that the laws under which we are now being governed are sufficient to mect ell the demands or contivgencies tl we say down the proposition to change. The following is the section oi law bearing on this question: SEC. 1506. may Levy LIcENsE TAX | ~The council shall have authority to levy and collect a license tax on auctioneers, druggists, peddlers, banks, brokers, pawnbrok ers, merchants of all kinds, grocers, confectioners, restaurants, butchers, taverns, public boarding dramshops, saloons, liquor sellers, billiard tables and other gaming tables, bowling alleys, hay scales, lumber dealers, livery stable keepers, real estate agents, express agencies 00 companies, loan companies, Ivan agents, hotel and inn keepers, public buildings, public halls, public grounds, concerts, photographists, artists, agents, porters, runners, drummers, public lecturers, public meetings, circuses and shows, real estate agents and brokers, horse and cattle dealers, patent-right dealers, inspectors, gaugers, stock yard and | wagon-yard proprietors, mercantile agents, insurance compauies, in | surance agents, banking and other corporations or institutions, street railroad cars, nackney carriages, om- nibuses, carts, drays, job wagons, ice wagons and all other vehicles, and all other business, trades avoca- ‘tions whatever, and fix the rate for -carriage of persons and wagonage, ~drayage and cartage of property; and to license, tax, regulate or sup- press ordinaries, money brokers, money changers, intelligence offices, public masquerades, balls, treet exhibitions, sparring exhibitions, dance houses, fortune tellers, pistol galleries, lottery ticket dealers, corn doctors, private venereal hospitals, museums and menageries, eques- trian performances, _horoscopic views, lung testers, muscle develop ers, magnifying glasses, ten-pin al- leys, billiard tables, or any other tables, theatrical or other exhibi- tions, shows and amusements, tip- hawkers, houses, pling houses, gift enterprises; to li- cense, tax and regulate hackmen, draymen, omnibus drivers, porters | Control of national affairs in the fu- and all others pursuing like oceu: |lisle’s articie, jof the country to levy un enormous forth by campaign comunittees to i beard the iion in his den—to go be j be t j needed? may arise asa city of our present} dimensions, then you should vote | ’ 0 u pa- | ture than Cleveland could have done } tions, with or without vehicles, and| if he had been president. e HOT TO KIL p, and to prescribe their compensat heer © aud restrain to regusate, s for steamboats, cars, stages Mickey Hayes Fatally Shoots John flaves and George Robins. and public houses; to have power to license ferries, and to regulate the! same, aud the landing thereof, with- S; ringfield, Mo., Jan. 4.—Three' in the limits of city. | pistol shots fired in rapid succession SEC. 1507. mercHaxts’ 4D vator- | on Walnut Street, one block from em.—The council shail have power to | the public squre, at 3:30 o'clock this levy, and ail merchants shail pay to/ afternoon, brought a large crowd of Jereateda great deal of the city collector, an ad valorem tax | people anc equai to that whieh is levied upon, excitement. reul estate—the of which| Tnvestigation that the tax shall be determined and ascer-! shots were fired oy Mickey Hayes, tained in the sume way us the state/a young man, who quietly walked | amount showed and county tax is determined and|away, and that be bad, in all proba- as¢ertained; and the collector shall bility, shot aud fatally wounded his have power to enforce the payment cousin, John Hayes, a letter carrier, i : colored man bam re and sale, as! and also a yo sorge Robins, who lives a few of the su: in the collection of other taxes. e by seiz miles southwest of the city.
