Italcrl! v.: .4 1 i;.- put-, to the test, in this miiner i.ml she must not fall. Read the Commission Charter. It Is, in itself, an answer to most of the charges that have , been 'brought against it. The workingman, the taxpayer, and the business man are the ones to reap the greatest benefit frpm the Commission Form of Government.. Our text for tomorrow will be "Three .Men", and may be found in Section 3 of the Commission Form ot Government charter for the city of Raleigh. If you are a taxpayer you should vote for the Commission Form of Government. It has benefitted the taxpayers of other cities and it will benefit you. , If the thing keeps up as it is going there will not be much .need of counting the votes. They will just move to make it unanimous for the Commission Form of Government. The man who is going around talking against the Commission Form of Government has to go into his hole and pull the hole in after him when he is faced with the facts We all want the best city govern nient possible. Experience has proven the old way inadequate and subject to great abuses. Experience shows that the commission form of government meets all requirements and reduces the possibility of abuse and misgovernment to a minimum. No, it is true, as some opponent of the new charter pointed out in The Times the other day, that no admin istration of the city . of Raleigh has ever been guilty of grafting. But while that Is true the most of them have died of dry rot. Each succeed ing administration moved along in the same old rut and this continued so long that it seemed that all civic - pride had been lost. That was not the case, however, and the people finally in desperation arose in their wrath and threw off the old order of things and elected a mayor and board of aldermen : determined to place Raleigh in the forefront of the progressive cities of the state. And while we have such a city adminis tration now, progressive and patriotic,- they recognize " the limitations of the system under which they are working and favor the . new system. It Is one of the .strongest arguments .in favor of thr srw.charter that this progressive board of aldermen favors K rKADESlcbUNC)L) it. No, no graft can be Charged to Raleigh officials. They have aR been honest and thought they were doing the best they could for the city, and that is another argument in favor of the new charter. They let the city die of stagnation and yet were doing the best they could. Let's change the system and make the "bout'' something far ahead of anything Raleigh has ever known. AVhen the campaign in Charleston for $150,000 for a Y. M. C. A. building was completed and the can vassers were going over their last reports some one brought out the fact tlint (he sisters of St. Xavier In firmary had voluntarily called oft a campaign they were conducting for funds for their institution so as not to in any wav hinder the Y. SI. jt". A. campaign.. It seems that this insti tution was in need of $20,00i. The sisters had been trving to raise it tor some time and- had about ".$3, mi . pledged.-. When the Y. M. C. A. cam paign was started thev saul "Well wait, as to have our canvassers in l!.e field at the same time might hurt tin' Y. M. C. A. campaign'. When the matter was brought to the alt em him or the Y. XI. C. A. workers lhovde cided to raise that $ 15,000 . for tne sisters in 24 hours, and all then canvassers gladlv and enthusiasti cally elected to stav in the field one day. longer and raise it. Tins is the Y- M. C A. spirit. Kalemh -needs the Y. M. C. A. because it is good in itself and because the. spirit n in fuses ih its members helps all char itable and religious institutions. TIIK TAX KATK. So many misstatements' are being made about the tax rate as fixed by the proposed charter that it would be well for the citizens to inform them selves and not take the word of some who are fighting this charter for a purpose. Our present charter, which was ratified in 1905, says ill section 74: Sec 74. Thatin order to raise a 'ffind 'for the expenses me dent to the proper government "of the city, the Aldermen may annually levy and col lect the following taxes, namely: (1 ) On all veal and personal prop erty witlfin the corporation limits, in cluding monev on hand, solvent cred its, investments in bonds, stocks and all other subjects taxed by the Gen eral Assembly, ad valorem, except in comes, a tax not exceeding one dollar on everv hundred dollars value. (2) On all taxable polls resident in the city on the first day of June of each year, or so resident within sixty days preceding that day, a tux not exceeding three dollars a poll. The proposed Commission charter says, in section t9: Sec. 69. That lu order to raise a fund for the expenses incident to the proper government of the cty, the Board of Commissioners may aiinii- ally levy and collect tho iollov.ins taxes, namely: (1) On all real and personal property within the corporation lim its, including money on hand, solvent credits, investments in bonds, stocks, and all other subjects taxed by the General Assembly ad valorem, except incomes, a tax not exceeding one dol lar on everv hundred dollars value. (2) Said Board may also levy, and collect for general purposes, a poll tax not exceeding one dollar and eighty cents, and for the purpose of paying interest on the municipal bonds of said Citv a poll tax not ex ceeding one dollar and twentv cents, said poll tax to be levied on the tax able polls of all male persons who may be residents of the City on the first day of June of each year. The tax rate is not increased. Any man who can read can compare the new charter with the old one and see that in the revenues of the city there is practically no difference. All of the talk about the Commission char ter bringing on exorbitant taxes is gross ignorance or a wilful Intention to distort the facts to deceive the people. ANOTHER POLITICAL FIZZLE. - ... 4 One of the most pitiful and sad ex periences yet encountered by the folks who are walking all over the city to defeat the Commission Form of Government was that of a promi nent man who mixes in politics on certain occasions, in one of our lead ing business houses yesterday. Like many citizens he had probably never read the old charter, under which we are, now living, and when he was furnished a copy of the new proposed charter he read it with his month wide open. When be had finished Makes Home Baking Easy lM Absolutely Pure The only baking powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar koalum.no lime phosphate the revenue section he came to the following art icle: i 11) I ! idii everv oilier occupation,' profession or .business,, not herein svei'iHlv named, a license lax not ex ceeding one il!n:sanil dollars ,t year. .

Could it be that he had made suclrnn Ass of himself before tho business people, whom he had been Irving" to influence. He suddenly remembered that the city did have a' charter adopted in 1 905, although, lie. hud never read it in all his liie. Such thint's are happening here everv ilnv. and every tune a man op poses the li'w charter and shows such .cross- ignorance it makes not onlv one vote, but nuinv. for the Commission Form of Government. What the people want is the truth and the facts, and not a lot of politi cal bosh. 'Thev have been ted on that Ions '..enough. . . The section releired to above was in the old charter as a precautionary measure iiiratiist something, which mk-ht develop not covered by .law in the citv and the board would need some powers in the matter. It was a wise provision and was simply car ried forward ituo the new charter as a precaution.
