PURPOSE
OF new FEDERATION
Rev. Edgar L. Williams Tells
of Organization to Strength
en- Churches.
BY DR.. EDGAR L. WILLIAMS.

og IN. CO0Nu es "tI6t~"0s
The Federation Council of the
Churches Of Indiana, representing
thirteen of the largest and most influ-
entail denominations of the state. is
pressing forward a most aggressive
movement along the evangelistic and
county federation lines.
A new department to be known as
the Evangelistic Department of the
State Council has recently been or
ganiZd and is composed of: Rev. F. E.
Taylor, Rev. L. c. Bentley, Rev. M. C.
Pearson, Rev. M. l.. Haines, Rev. A.
B. Storms, Rev. G.. H. Winders, w. d.
Allison, A. H. Goddard VIM. G. Hall,
Geo. w. Brown, John M. Feasey, c. j.
Buchanan, T. l.. Scott, A. B. Cornelius,
Mr.. H. H. Hanna, Sen. Cortland Van
Camp. Others interested in the work
of this committee are T. c. Day and
John Holiday.
So rapidly has this movement grown
and so strongly has its worth and i'm.
portance laid hold of the leading
church men of the federation, that a
demand has arisen for the services of
a strong and capable man to serve as
secretary of the work. and to engage
in organizing and supervising the
movement in the counties of the state
where evangelistic campaigns are be-
ing held.
Begins Work Here.
Il began work officially on Feb. l.
1t will be my duty to direct the work
of county evangelistic campaigns, and
to follow such campaigns with the or
ganization of County Federation of
Churches. Such federation is being
perfected this week in Wayne County,
following the Rev. Honeywell's meet
ings in this city. The pastors and rep
resentative laymen of all the churches
of the county have held a meeting in
Richmond recently, at which time
plans were perfected for the co-ordina-
ton and cooperation of all the church
es in the county for the building up OF
the church and the Sunday schools
and to work out policy of religious
activity and law enforcement, which
will be ample to meet the needs OF
the county
1t is felt that this movement for
County Federation of churches prom
Uses much for the religious life of the
state. So far put little study has been

WOLCOTT SUGGESTS
TAX LAW EXCHANGE
S a te Commissioner Saws
Present Law Is Most In
effective.
LAPP CITES PROBLEMS

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Feb. 6.-SiS
amendments to the present taxation
laws or Indiana were suggested today
by Ehen II. Wolcott, state tax com,
missioner, in an address before the
tax conference at Indiana University
The amendments are.
l. classification tax whereby Ger.
tain kinds of intangible property are
assessed at low. fixed rate.
2. The exemption of money, either
on hand or deposited in banks or
trust compaiics, which does not draw
interest.
3. The exemption Of household
furniture and personal effects to the
value OF q fixed sum, say $500 or
$1,000.
4. The power of the State Tax Com
mlssioners to equalize assessments OF
personal property by classes.
). The appointment OF county as
SCISSORS upon Civil Service eXamina-
ton to be under the direct control of
the State Board of Tax Commission
ers. S
&. The basis of taxation Of all prop
erty to its true cash value with linn
1t to the rate of assessment.
The farcial assessment of house
sioner Wolcott, sis such as readily to
prove that the law as it stands at
present is most ineffective. The aver
age value of household furniture in
the various ounties in Indiana as re-
ported to the State Tax Commission
crs last year was $4350, the highest
shown being in Tippecanoe county
with an average of $102 and the low
est being Starke county with an aver
age assessment of $40.
Home Builders.
while I do not feel that there
should be too large a value of eXemp'
ton, / do feel that every encourage.
ment should be given to the home
builders of our state, to those whose
sole possessions consist largely OF
their little house furnishings and that
we can afford to be generous when
valuing this most essential and neces
sary part of our domestic life"
Citing the many perpleXing prob
lens brought up at the conference
John A. Lapp, state legislative libra
rian, suggested that special investi
cation commission representing all
classes of people and interests should
be appointed to formulate an adequate
and fair system of taxation for In
diana.
Professor William A. Rawles deliv.
cred very valuable and suggestive
illustrated lecture on "Classification
of Land for Purposes Of Taxation
He in common with other speakers
at the conference insisted that the
constitution of Indiana stood in the
way of proper legislation and should
be changed by constitutional conven-
ton. Professor Rawles praised the
Somers system of taxation in use in
Cleveland.

Army Officers Here Now Tell Of
Their Detention.

Held as prisoners of war in England
two lieutenants in the Austro- Hungarian
army were released when they showed
that they had sufficient money to bring
them to tie United States. They are
now in this city stopping at 1885, Pine
street. According to the officers they
were roughly treated by the English po-
lice. At the Vrixton police station in Lon
don. where they were made to register
being citizens of the enemy, the soldiers
said the police were insulting. They were
detained there. One policeman. said the
lieutenants. showed them about and shout
ed, ut would be best If We killed you"
The officers are brothers, Lieutenants
Paul and Ewald Faltin. Their homes are
in Prague, Bohemia. They were in Bel
gium when Austria and Germany declared
war on the French. 1t being hopeless 10
return home by way of the Continent they
went to England tn get a boat. They
were in London when war was declared
and were detained by the authorities as
prisoners. When they produced sufficient
funds to enable them to get to this coun-
try the men were released. The Home
Office wanted them in America, where
they could not get back to Austria, rather
than in England as prisoners Of war.
Paul Is a manufacturer in Prague. His
concern is one of the largest manufac-
turing rope in the world. His brother is

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S FACE

Effigy in Front of Postoffice Rudely
Treated by Time and Weather.

Patriots who prone made Chestnut
street in the vicinity Of the Postoffice are
becoming annoyed by the condition of the
statue Of Benjamin Franklin, especially
the face, which is dirty. Also there Is Il
white line extending from his chin to his
waistcoat, though he had been eating
cruel in hurry and without a napkin.
When the statue was placed on its
pedestal in front of the Federal Building
the face bore a nice coat of paint. Wind
and rain are no respecters of patriots
statues. however. and acted toward
Franklin as they habitually do with a
fence or n barn.
Some irrcverent comments on the con-
dition of the statue are heard from the
passersby. Others. more patriotic fail to
see anything funny about it and feel that
something should be done to restore the
benign appearance of the face.

The charge against Rosenwald is
failure to file personal property
schedule in 1912, and in that way
slipping out of paying taxes on ST.
100000 of Sears-Roebuck shares of
stock.
A jail sentence or fine of 5000 or
both can be given Rosenwald if he is
convicted.
The schools, Fairgrounds, hospit-.
ais. libraries and other public insti-
buttons of Cook county lose over $50
100000 year because rich property
owners laugh at the tax laws, lie
about their property, hide it. swear
falsely to the assessors about it.
The indictment of Rosenwald is

H, 10 find out whether the whole
tax l. ~ shall be carried by the little
fellows who own little homes they
can't hide from the assessors or lie
about.
Before States Atty Hoyne's an
nOun.eEent came out nearly two
years ago, in which he said he was
going to dig into the tax situation
and find out why the tax laws are a
joke that miIlionaires laughed at,
Rosenwald went along from year to
year telling the assessors he had
only measly 100000 of personal
property taxable shares of stock in
Sears, Ro4lbck & Co. He raised
this to $25O,O00 one year.
This year the board of assessors
assessed the $27,O00,000 of stock at
$2,5OO,00O, Roy o. West, Fred
Block and Thomas ]. Webb, who

figures down to 1855, 45S.

he isn't picking out any special in
dividuals for punishment. What he
wants to get at is why tax laws by
which Cook county loses $50, 000,0 900
year are joke.
Rosenwald openly admits he failed
to file tax schedule as the laws says
he should. He says:
eff the indictment against me is
based solely on the charge that 1
didn't file schedule of my personal
property 1 am ready to plead guilty
at once"
A schedule blank is sheet of pa
per taken by assessors to the owner
of property. The law says the prop
erty owner shall write down on that
sheet of paper all the personal prop
erty he owns. If he doesn't fill the
sheet out and get it back to the as
SCISSORS he is guilty of a misdemeanor.
and can be jailed or made to pay a
5000 fine.
Rosenwald owns $27,OO0,OOO of
Sears shares of stock. He
failed to report this to the assessors.
The big point of Hoyne is that this
game cheats the county out of $780,
100000 Of taxes year.

SITUATION AT
NACOIS ACUTE

Washington, Oct. 9.-The situation
at Naco, Ariz., across the line from
which the Mexicans under Generals
Maytorena and Hill have been fight
ing for several days, is causing much
uneasiness among officials here. 1t
was feared that a clash might take
place between the American troopers
guarding the border and the Mexicans
and / was recognized that such an oc-
Currence would serve further to COM
plicate matters.
Officially the administration main
tanned its hopeful attitude, but unof-
ficial reports stated that one or both
of the Mexican forces planned to cross
the border near Naco to gain better
positions. 1t was recognized that the
use Of force would be necessary should
the Mexicans try to carry out their
PLANS.
Little headway has been made in
the negotiations for the transfer of
Vera Cruz, it is said, because of Car
ranza's refusal to comply with the
conditions laid down by the United
States. Officials were reticent on the
subject, but there were no signs OF
renewed preparations to bring the
troops back from the Mexican port.
