Mr.. Kyser told me the kind of a
mayor he intended to be. He'd cut
down expenses. He'd make EN- all

He'd see that they got down 10 work

He got his suggestion from Toronto,
he says, but there is no reason why
the idea can't be transplanted to
American soil.
Mr.. Kyser's policeman won't stand
on the corner in the hot sun swelter-
ing under a coat of blue. He intends
TO invest a cool, comfortable shirt
waist Inc straw hat with the same
dignity and authority as a blue coat
and helmet. But the clothes are not
the important point.
Mr.. Kyser's policeman is TO have
an entirely new set of street manners.
He will hav TO treat the public ,espe-

Goodness Of Heart
Shines Forth In the
C~ountenance, Modesty
and Sweetness, Attri-
butes of Queenly Char


To be chosen Queen of the Chill
dren's Carnival on Wednesday, Aug.
9Th, at SPRINGBROOK PARK, does
not mean that the young lady be inn
periOus, naughty or commanding. II
means that she be gentle, modest and
sweet. 1t signifies a natural grace of
manner and a kindly disposition and
a regard for III feeling of others. 1t
means a sweetness and light that
shines out from her countenance, and
that radiates from her personality,
lust as the light is reflected from the
diamond. There is this difference.
however. the diamond borrows it's
light. while hers originates within
herself. The highest beauty of a rose
lies not in sepals nor in the tints of
it's petals, but in the perfume of its
gracious depths. So the highest
beauty Of any queen lies in the good
ness of her heart. Then she will be
modest and sweet, and everything
about her personality will suggest a
Queenly Girl. OF course the judges
will have a difficult task in selecting
the Queen. because there are so many
Queenly Girls in South Bend and
Mishawaka. Twenty girls in the pa
rade will receive gold Neck Chains
with Lockets and Silver Coin Purses.
These prizes are awarded indepen-
IDENTIFY of those given to the Queen and
her Maids.

cities of over 5000 is only about 3 per
cent. whereas in California this per-
centage is about 81 per cent and in
New York., Connecticut and Pennsyt-
vania, where system similar to that
in California is said to be in effect
the percentage of urban population is
considerably higher than in California.
AS yet we have been unable to sec
how about three-fourths of the coun-.
ties of the state can be exempted from
practically all state taxation and the
state treasury remain full, and yet state
taxes on property in the remaining one
fourth of the counties not be consider
ably increased.
.The principal advantage claimed for
the California plan is that 1t divorces
the sources of state taxation from that
of the counties and cities, and from
such estimates as we have been able to
obtain, we are we'll satisfied that the
service corporations in this state would
make 1t impossible to raise enough rev.
enue from this source to support the
expenses of the state government and
that consequently general state prop
erty tax would still be necessary.
In The Age Herald of September 4,
1912, will be found long article ex-
pository of the California plan, by an
associate member of the state railroad
commission and our views on this sub
Ject are further confirmed by recent
letter from this advocate of the Cali
fornia plan, who admits that the pro-
posed rate of taxation on gross receipts
of public service corporations will not
provide sufficient revenues for the pres
ent expenses of the state government.
So that, after dsinterested consider
alton of this matter, 1T seems clear to
us that the main benefit sought to be
derived under the California plan would

I'VE have therefore reluctantly

City Finances Important Problem
IN conclusion we wish to repeat thar
the matter of the city's finances is the
most important problem now before the
people of Birmingham, and on its wise
solution depends the continued prosper
ity and welfare Of the city and it's
people.
I'VE therefore disclaim any pride of
opinion and will welcome any modifca-
tion or feasible substitute for the plan
hereinabove suggested which may give
reasonable hope of equal or greater re-
lief to the city of Birmingham.
I'VE would also like to explain that,
until last Monday we were under the
impression that the next meeting OF
this chamber would not be held until
some time in July, hence we have not
had much time in which TO shape up
and further fortify this report, but we
trust that We have stated our views
with sufficient clarity and detail for all
practical purposes and we accordingly
submit. this report in order that it may
be considered along with the able re-

WILSON'S POLICY
PRAISED BY LEWIS
IN BRANDON SPEECH
Illinois Senator Speaks at
dwelling of Monument
to Steven A.
Douglas

Brandon, Vt, June Ex-senator James
Hamilton Lewis Of Illinois, speaking at
the unveiling today of statue of Stephen
A. Douglas, referred to President Wilson's
relations with the Senate and compared
them with conditions when Buchanan was
president. Senator Douglas Joined issues.
He said in part:
Senator Douglas sgnalled his entrance
to the United States Senate by a break
with the President of the United States,
James Buchanan. Douglas demanded the
distribution OF public offices in support of
his policies President Buchanan differed
from Douglas and permitted the patron
age to be used against Douglas.
Opposite Attitude
k'President Wilson presents the opposite
Htitude. lie puts the public veal above
the public office and declines either to give
out offices to- senators as compensation
for their support, to impound
those who opposed him by denying them
public patronage. Buchanan went down
to defeat in attempting to retaliate upon
senator's who opposed his policies, and
went to political disgrace in trying to de-
stroy senators because they would not
support his policies
president Wilson is attempting to in
augurate the syst I'm that James Monroe
put into effect with success In the era of
good for the good influence, 1923, and seeks
TO emulate the course of George Wash
ington, feeling in recognizing no party
organization as having any right to urge
its assistance as a mere agency of politi-
cal offices James Buchanan was on trial
under the assaults of Douglas to test
whether the doctrine of retaliation upon
senator's could succeed. 1t failed.
President Wilson declines to allow his
personality to be put on trial, but under
exactly similar conditions as surrounded
Buchanan IN the slavery and admission
of new state issues President Wilson with
his currency and tariff policies is putting
the country to test"
Brandon is Douglas birthplace.

What County and City Pays

NHdJ OOunty ana lily rays
1.-The state property tax as now levied
is as follows: General fund, 21s mills; old
soldier, l mill; public schools mills;
total, 61a mills.
In round figures jefferson county is
now paying about one-fifth of the taxes
of the entire state, and Birmingham from
one-seventh to one-eighth. The property
tax is collected ad valorem, and the tax
thus collected for public schools is dis
tributed over the state pro rata or rather
according to the number of children of
school age in each county, so that by
this unjust system Jefferson county pays
In about twice as much as it gets back
TO Illustrate, the state auditors report
shows that for the year 1912 Jefferson
county paid in under this mill school
tax, the sum of s324,SS0.74, whereas, of
this sum it only received back the sum
OF $ls0,l6l 60. Therefore, the present sys-
TEN cost jefferson county for that year
the sum of $134, ,719.13. TO illustrate fur
ther. Lowndes county for the same year
paid in $12,S92 SO and got back $34,S74.77
which is nearly three times as much as
1t paid In Thus under the present sys-
tenn Lowndes county gets an annual do
nation of about $4,000 for it's local schools
and most of this donation comes from
Jefferson county.
Moreover, about five-sixths of the pop
so that under the present system Jeffer-
son county is contributing heavily to the
education of negroes in the black belt
while there are white children being de-
MED public school facilities in Jefferson
county because of lack of funds. If
there are any state officials or candi-
dates for public office who advocate
continuance of these servile conditions
and who would oppose an amendment to
the constitution seeking to remedy same,
1t is only fair that they should be known
to the people of Jefferson county. This
county is contributing much more than
its just share of the general fund and
of the old soldiers tax, but no relief is
asked from this injustice, but we do not
see how any fair minded man could op-
pose the levying of the taxes for the
support of the county schools by the coun-
ties themselves and in this way equal
Justice would be done to all.
1.-The constitution should be so amend
ed that instead of the present state tax
