GRAFT IN
HOUSEHOLD

New York. Jan eo-In his sermon In
the church Of our Lady Help Of Chris
tians. East Orange. n. j. the rector.
Rev. John = Callaghan. spoke OF graft
as practised by servants. lie said:
I'VE will take as an instance the case
of coachman. who has charge OF a
team OF horses He goes to a black
smith and says. How much IL II worth
10 me n I bring the horses here 10 be
shod ie blacksmith. n he be dishonest.
says he will give 81 or s. a month. and
this graft is added 10 the amount charged
the employer.
"This is direct robbery, and before
the church will recognize the penitence
OF the coachman I'm question he must
first discontinue the practice and then
make restitutions 10 his employer " all
the money received dishonesty
I'VE will take on the other hand. the
honest blacksmith. He has been doing
the work OF shoeing the horses and re-
fuses to give a tip The coachman is
driving the animals and while IN the
street throws them-a familiar trick In
response 10 his angry employers queries
he assures him that bad shoeing was
responsible for the horses falling and
the owner forthwith directs thar the
team be taken elsewhere The black
smith loses his customer and his reputa-
ton Is injured. and again In this case
does the church require that complete
restitution he made"
Father Callaghan then took tho case
OF the servant girl offered n new dress
by the tradesman " she can secure tho
custom OF the house The food fur
nished by another man who has had the
trade is suddenly served poorly IN the
dining-room. ana when complaints reach
the Kitchen the reply goes back that the
quality now served is bad. Then the girl
has her opportunity.
In conclusion Father CallaRhan said
there was bat one thing for the Of
Tenders a.. do and that was 10 make com
plote restitution. N Is terrible thing

The SINGLE
TAX WAS
EUL0CIzED
GoVsrnor GarVln Spoke Before
the North Providence Improve
msntkSSO. Other Speakers.

There was a comparatively small at
tendance AZ the new year meeting OF the
North Providence Improvement associa-
tion. last evening. but those who were
there gave close and minute attention 10
the speeches OF Gov. Garvin, Executive
Secretary Grieve and Senator Cushing.
Gov. Garvin prefaced his formal adj
dress by saying he always welcomed
questions az the close OF his addresses
upon the single tax subject, and said
in part
"A towns Improvement is usually
measured by it's growth in wealth and
population. According TO the tax as
SCISSORS North Providence has in the last
10 years increased IN wealth 40 per cent,
whilst Providence has increased but n
per cent. In population North providence
has gained IL per cent. and Providence
even with its annexations. only 80 per
cent.
an examination OF the reasons why
the suburban town IL thus improving
more rapidly that the great city reveals
two principal causes: First. that it's
taxes are less by 40 per cent ard that its
land is much cheaper. On the other hand,
III the IlAllSf OF pllDilo improvements
such as sewage, street lights, fro and
police protection, the advantag is on the
side OF the city of Providence.
1T, therefore. seems very evident that
if any plan could be devised by which
the taxes aud the price OF land in North
Providence could be materially lessened
and public improvements greatly ex
tended the town would become still more
attractive as a place OF residence and
for manufacturing and would. therefore,
increase in population and wealth still
more rapidly.
Under the general laws OF the state
the taxpayers of North Providence APP
propriate the money which they raise
by taxation. They ought also TO have
the power in the same way to decide
as to the manner I'm which they shall
levy their taxes. III they had this risht,
then IL would be possible for them TO so
arrange the local taxation as at once TO
reduce taxes. lessen the price OF land and
yet have greater revenue with which
to multiply public improvements.
"All that Is needed TO accomplish this
result is TO secure the passage of a
law permitting North Providence to
exempt from taxation personal property
and improvements. The exemption from
taxation OF personality and dwellings
would have the immediate effect OF

Only last winter I heard the owner ~ a

say that I'm my opinion IL Is the press

Our prominent newspapers are ready to
