LET THE CITY SPEAK OUT. The Evening World started the movement to lighten the city’s tax burdens with the conviction that clear presentation of the facts accompanied by practical suggestions for relief could not fall to evoke a call for action, The call came. Action bas taken definite form. Since Phe Frening World began Its campaign the suggestions made by this uewspaper have been embodied Ia a Iegistative plan put forward by the Mayor of New York. Beaity jutorests and efvle organizations have tndorsed tis plan. Senators and Assem- blymen from Albany have conferred with the Mayor on Its de- tails, Never has there opened fairer prospect of saving the city millions of dollars wrung ‘rom it year after year for the benefit of other sections of the State. At a meeting called by the Tax Reduction Commulttee at Carnegie Hall last Priday night Mayor Mitchel referred to the work of lessening the city’s tax load as “having begun with the excellent articles printed in The Evening World.” The strongest testimony to the power of those articles fs the present fact that tax reform {6 uo longer a plrase but a definite, practical programme. A programme, however, does not pat fiself through # Legislature by some internal force of its own. It must get Its motive power from the energy, determination and team work of all interested In its success. A square tax deal for the City of New York ts a propositic that ought to h behind It the active, non-partisan backl; ot the city’s taxpayers, the city’s pubUlc officials, the city’s elected representatives, to a man. It needs the ont and out support of every one of the city’s elghty-five legislators at Albany, pot half of whom have so far put themselves on record as favoring a plan of vital importance to the great community whose Interests should bo their first { and foremost thought. he city’s tax-reduction programme needs, therefore, most of ali just now from every eltizen, from every local organiza- tion of property owners and taxpayers, outspoken support, by resolution and by letter, to carry a message tn plain wor'ls direct to city members of the Legislature. yearly Festival of Laughter. On tho night of his arrival he and his host went to sup with friends at a far end of the city and started homeward at miduight excessively drunk. As they roached Milo’s house they saw three robbers who were busy trying to tear down the frout door and who were shouting (o each other that they would not leave anything of value in the whole hou: Milo seemed too drunk to defend his own property, and uone of the city watchmen was in sight Go Lucius, drawing bis sword, reeled furward to @ttack the trio of thieves. The torches went out In the dense gloom Lucius could scarce see tho figures of the three men, who whecled to mect his assault. They pressed closely upon him and be fought them off with drunken fury. So fiercely and 60 skilfully did he wield his keen sword that he laid them dead at his feet one after another, Then, worn out by hie battle, he staggered into the house and tumbled over on a couch fa a heavy sieep. He was aroused at dawn by a hammering on the house door, Officers of the law had come to drag him to court. They were headed by the public prosecutor, Lucius, protesting and questioning, went with them.
