Governor Humphrey. The ladies Of the
various churches Of Independence have
been in the habit Of renting room ondays
when there is a political or other large
gathering and setting lunch or dinner for
the benefit of the church. The result has
been that on those days, when the hotels
and restaurants expect to do a large busi-
ness, the churches get the crowd and the
regular business houses lose money. A
strong protest went up and the result has
been that the city council passed an ordi-
nance imposing an annual tax Of $40 on all
churches which obtained money from the
people by holding fairs or festivals OF. set
