EXEMPTION ECHO
Taxpayer Wants to Vote
in Another City
Election.
Ed. Courier-Light:—
A great deal is being said and
written about the unjustifiable action
of the city council in exempting the
Standard Oil Comyany from payment
of city taxes, and a great deal more
it seems ought to be said, for it is a
matter of so jjreat importance to the
city, so unjust to the tax payers, so
absolutely indefensible, so unreason-
able and so illegal, and so far reach-
ing in its effect that it ought not to
he let alone. The people are not go-
ing to let the subject rest or that
august body, known and designated
as the "city council," alone until jus-
tice is done and a reason given for
this uncalled for action. This alder-
mantic body was elected by the tax-
payers of Corsicana, the members
are public servants and us such their
official conduct is subject to criticism.
The people,not the Standard Oil Com-
pany, are the masters: they are the
servants.
It is a consolation to know that the
people were not mistaken when they
elected R. 0. Call mayor, and plain,
unassuming 'Jen Clopton, one of the
aldermen. They have stood up like
men, brave, true and trustworthy,
.true to the p iople who elected them
and to the interest of Corsicana.
Fair, abb and impartial, above re-
proach and suspicion, and by their
official conduct demonstrated that
even in city government an official
can be patriotic and serve his people
against the greed, allurements and
influence of corporate wealth and tax
dodgers. f
The message of Mayor Call vetoing
this monstrous iniquity is simply un-
answerable ^'oin any point of view.
He makes the law so plain, showing
the want of authority of the council
to pass the bill, giving an array of
facts and citation of authorities from
the constitution of Texas, supreme
courts of the United States and Tex-
as, and other states, and city charter,
that it seems even a fool could be
convinced of the correctness of every
portion assumed by him. And after
the reading of the veto it is said that
the mayor requested the council to
discuss the same before taking a final
vote. But what did they do? They
sat in their seats like dumb bells and
never opened their months, looked at
each other in wild-eyed astonishment,
forgetting that they had been elected
by the people of Corsicana to repre-
sent their interests and not to listen
to the paid lobby and vote away the
money of our people to a rich and
greedy corporation, and thereby crip-
ple every institution in the city from
the sanitary department to the free
schools. What did they care for
thare. They voted to exempt Mr.
Rockefeller's concern from even pay-
ing city tax here. And "mirable
dictu," the next thing this august
and charitable body did was to in-
struct the ordinance committee to
prepare a bill to make it a penal of-
fense for the citizen who owns a rat
dog to fail to pay $1 per year tax.
So now they g<)t the dog and its own-
er both. That's not all, the next
thing was to raise the fees of the
pound keeper, so that hereafter the
owner of "old Brindy," though it be
some poor widow with a house full of
children, must pay a dollar tax for
the cow and the same for the calf, if
caught outside of the gate. That's
not all for in keeping with this un-
usual and unheard of fit of charity,
munificent body ordered the city at-
torney to file suit at once for all back
taxes for the past fifteen years.
What will come next. The good
Lord only knows. But it has been
freely prophesied that an appropria-
tion will bo voted from the charity
fund with which to purchase free
passes and expenses to the "World's
Fair," for Mr. Rockefeller and fam-
ily, the Standard Oil Magnate.
Ben Clopton will vote against the
measure and Mayor Call will veto it,
but Ben's vote and Call's veto will be
killed as dead as Hector, for fear if
we don't extend old "Rock" a few
favors occasionally out of the city's
overflowing treasury, he might pnll
up pegs and leave us or forget to re-
duce the price of crude oil a few
more cents! !.
Oh for an Oliver Cromwell! And
if no ghost of old Oliver don't arise,
an indignant people will just aj soon
as good old spring time comes again,
There will be a hot old time in town.

DALLAS WON GAME
Maloney's Men Made
Metropolitans Hustle
for Victory.
Dallas, July 29.—Dallas made Bev-
en hits, seven errors and five runs,
and won. Corsicana made eight hits,
two errors and four runs. The Dallas
men bunched hits and scattered their
errors. In these features of play
they were more fortunate than their
opponents. Huddleston was unsteady
to a fatal degree and lost a game he
should have won by better control.
He gave five bases on balls and hit
one batsman. Maloney and Salm hit
the ball hard and often, but the oth-
er Corsicana men couldn't help them
out when runs were needed. Andres
had an unusual record because of Hud-
dleston's wildness, He was credited
with being two times at bat, made
two hits and scored three runs. Ury's
batting record looked good, with
three hits in five times up. Huff-
meister pitched all right after the
first inning.
The score was as follows:
