Sending the mayor of Terre Haute
to Jail for six years for dishonest
practices in elections may tend to
purify politics. We don't suppose
that many of our people realize it,

Florida city election, as well as an
Indianan, if anybody has the evidence
and will give it to the proper officials

NEED FUNDS FOR WORK
FOR YOUNG WOMEN
Social Service Federation Asks CO.
operation In Conducting Homes
for Working Girls.

The Social Service Federation is do
Ing splendid work in establishing
homes for young working girls,
where. at II nominal figure, they are
able to secure home-iike conditions
amid good Influences.
Richmond il a city in which thous-
ands of young women are employed
and any movement looking to bright
en!ng the lives OF such OF them as
have no real homes must appeal to all
lovers OF humanity.
The following self-explanatory let
ter is being mailed by the Social Ser
vice Federation:
The social Service Federation has
established home for working girls
al 206 South Cherry Street. and now
that the home Is started we are call
Ing OF the citizens of Richmond to
assist us in this much needed enter
prise.
This Is, in a measure. preventive
work. and we hope II II is successful
TO establish many such homes
throughout the city. solving the prob
lem that the young working girls have
80 face: how to live respectfully on the
low wages she Is able to earn.
THE board is $3.50 per week, and
the running expenses OF the house,
food. servants hire and laundry will
be paid for by this board. That
leaves the rent matron's salary and
fuel to be met by the Social Service
Federation.
I'VE are relying not only upon the
generosity ef the citizens Of Rich
rr7orrrf to come forward and help ps In
this undertaking. but also upon their
good sense and foresight. realizing as
they must the importance Of pre-
ventive work from an economic stand
point
Donations OF any sort will be ac-
ceptahie. but we hope that those who
are able will give yearly or monthly

equalize the tax burden
An equalization OF tax burdens. not
an increase OF tax burdens, was the
all important work to be accomplished
by this extraordinary session OF the
General Assembly. That this WAS uu-
the important object sought
is further shown by the report of this
committee at page e
The committee is of the opinion
that the present revenues are album
dainty sufficient for the present neces-
sary expenses; and it believes. there
fore that the state tax rate levied
upon the new assessment can he. and
should be. materially reduced
Yet, Notwithstanding this thorough

for which the Legislature was called In
extra session, Notwithstanding the con-
clusions of every Official body to the
effect that the railroads in Virginia
were bearing their fast proportion OF
