During the last municipal election cam- paign attention was several times direct- ed to the fact that the Assessor was re- | celving a fat commission for the colleciion of poll taxes for the State while deputies | drawing compensation for the city were pert: ng the duty of collection. The Call belleved that the tax payers had just | cause for complaint against the Assessor. | It believed then that Mayor Phelan and | the Bupervisors should have taken | | prompt steps to compel the Assessor to | return to the city treasury money 8o | drawn out to pay poll tax deputies. Per- haps some of the tax payers fancied that e Call's maln purpose was to defeat Washington Dodge's re-election, but the per was simply doing its duty In expos- a public wrong.
