IF the mother is failure. said Miss
Bissell. there is but little hope for the

by law. 1t is more good. wholesome

FOR REALTY ASSESSMENT
Revaluation of Property Expected
When Work Is Completed-Town
Reports Are Filed.

The appointment of Ben G. Davis. town
clerk; f. Norman Jackson and ]. W.
Shade as a board of assessors for the
town of Takoma Park. Md, is announc-
ed. with instructions to prepare annual
realty assessment.
Efforts were made to have the board
instructed to assess unimproved property
at 10 per cent of its true value or as near
that as possible, and to increase improv-
ed property 25 per cent. 1t is the gen
eral opinion of the town authorities that
owners of unimproved property should
be encouraged to build, and any increase
in assessment, it is thought. would tend
to delay improvements. There is pros
pect, however. that revaluation of
much property in the Park. will occur
when the board gets down to work.
The Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company has been granted per-
nilsson to erect eight poles on Niagara

CENSORSHIP Of PLAYS
FAVORED BY .S|DDONS
Commissioner Thinks Power Should
Be Exercised Within
Proper Limits.

Declaring that it ought to be possible
for the public authorities to check the
production or exhibition of forms of en-
tertainment that are scurrilous or objec-
rionable, Commissioner Siddons today
stated that if the proposal Of the National
Anti-Defamation League to establish In
Washington board of censorship Is pre-
sented to the District heads it Will be
given every consideration.
The league. whose local officers include
Simon Wolf, president, and Rabbi Abram
Simon. secretary. has enlisted the aid OF
the Young Mems Christian Association
and the Washington Truth Society in an
effort to bring about the appointment OF
such a board. Committees have been
named to wait on the Commissioners and
the matter, it is expected. will be taken
up at an early date.
Censorships Not Popular.
Il do not know at the present time"
said Commissioner siddons today, "wheth-
er the Commissioners possess the author
ity to appoint board of censorship.
such as that proposed. but if the author
ity exists it would be premature to dis
cuss to what extent it should be eXer-
cised. if at ALL because so far the matter
has not been considered by the Commits
sioners.
speaking for myself, however. there
are some general considerations whlcn
should not be lost sight Of in a dis
cussion of the subject. The idea OF CEN
sorship has never been popular in Amer
lea and with good reason. for it partakes
too much Of certain old theories of gov
ernment control over the free expression
OF ideas and opinions. not at all IN
harmony with our governmental polity.
and the exercise of the power OF censor
shin is ant to awaken fear of inter-
ference with that freedom Of speech and
of the press that should always be Jeai-
ously guarded in a nation maintaining
frea nolitical institutions.
