It criticizes other officials, questions saloon license tax impact, and warns that city government is being robbed by street railway companies and tax dodgers amid calls for banking regulation and channeled reform.

The piece attacks the City Forester ordinance, urging repeal for owners to control their trees without costly permits, and criticizes tax and meat inspection issues at East St. Louis stockyards. It cites Bischof's sworn statements and ongoing federal probes into meat inspection irregularities.
