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.
