CHURCHES FAVOR
AMENDMENT NO. 10

In the coming election Tuesday. Oc-
tober 26, an amendment will be pre-
scented of great interest to the churches
of the state. The constitution as it
now stands provides that property
used solely and exclusively for re
ligious worship" shall be exempt from
taxation. Technically a church has
no right to use house of worship
for any social or civic work for the
community. Assessors have been ac-
customed to construe the law liberal
~. and have allowed the churches the
right 10 meet the needs Of the present
day. which are very different from
the times when the constitutional re-
striction was framed. Amendment No.
10 will if carried, remove the present
handicap to the work of the churches.
and will bring the law into harmony
with the spirit Of the times. Every

Is worth and how the Garibaldisns can

Before long. however. the Italian
heroes were obliged 20 retreat 20 the

fire directed into their flank from the
enemy IN solid positions on the nils.
II was at this stage of the fightng that
Constantine Garibaldi was riddled BY
grapeshot and the bulk Of the $40 Ital-

Washington Cabinet. The Tribune cor
respondent is authorized on the high

Of the French people and Of the French
government have never been more
friendly than now.
The noble and spontaneous generos-
ity Of American citizens toward the
French wounded and for those in need
owing to the var will never be for
gotten in France. Moreover. absolute
confidence prevails here in the deter
mination Of President Wilson and Sec
rotary Bryan TO maintain absolute
neutrality. although in the French
shade of disappointment that while
the United States has ever been r
most Jealous supporter of the Hague
conventions. the Washington Cabi-
net has 50 far not deemed il worth
while TO utter even faint protest
against what are deemed here gross
violations Of treaties and OF the
Hague conventions by the German gov
eminent, German commanders and
German troops and tina. this silence
of Washington seems 10 be tacit
acauiescence in the German disregard
Of international obligations.
