over one hundred voters, H. D. Reed | without delay. All our ellemosynary
was endorsed for Mayor, Dr. W. K-,institutions should be fostered and
Meeks was endorsed for Alderman,; and especially do we commend
Second Ward, W. E. Chandler fori the Kings’ Daughters Hospital tor its
Alderman Fourth Ward, and C. A. | noble work.
LcCount for Alderman, sixth Ward,— j Revived, IV. That this organlza-
theso being tbe only Aldermen to be
elected at the ensuing election, and
Whereas, by the endorsement of
these candidates for nomination at
the primary, as men deemed" worthy
to bear the standard raised by this
meeting; It becomes proper and right
that the purposes for which this
meeting stood, and for which the or
ganization there effected stands,
should be set forth In a declaration ol
principles.
Therefore, be It resolved—
I. That the Citizens League, form
ed at said meeting, stands for a
SQUARE DEAL, for both rich and
poor, high and low,—No favoritism
under the law, but JUSTICE to all. |
That in order to "beet out ezact Jus
tice our City Government should b«
administered honestly, economloally
and .equitably. The Tax date should
bs as low as possible consistent with
meeting the needs for revenue, and
all property should be assessed alike.
We condemff all Inequalities In as
sessments as rank favoritism, and
pledge ourselfes to an assessment
baaed on value not on ownership.
We believe that the Street Tax should
be made not to exceed 12.00 per an
num. Returns of property by Tax
payers should he adjusted only after
a full hearing and an examination ol
the property.
Resolved IL That this organization
stands tor progress. We believe in a
progressive age, and In a progressive
city. No backward step should be
taken. Not only should our tax rate
be at low as poasible consistent with
the city’s legitimate needs, bnt the
money so collected should be expend
ed to the very beet possible advan
tage, tilth neither waste nor graft
The Sinking Fund provided to meet
the ontatandlng bonds should he kept
Intact, and so Invested a* to briog
the beet returns, so that the payment
of bonds may he made promptly and
tlon stands committed to giving all
due encouragoment to flew enterpris
es, manufactories, public service cor
porations and those things which
make for the upbuilding of a city, yet
no right to use city property should
he granted without adequate compen
sation, In money or service, to the
city or Its people. We believe the
time has come for the city to own its'
City Hall, and favor the erection or
purchase of such building as will be
adequate to the Deeds of the city for
the next decade at least, believing
tbe same to be conducive to economy
In public service, and for the better
management of city affairs. A cen-
