Department Requests
FINANCE CHAIRMAN
SOUNDS WARNING

Having been granted permission by
members of City Council to discuss
the question OF taxation and city reve-
nues. City Councilman Oscar G. Dra-
per. chairman Of the finance commit
tee Of that body. last night issued
warning to the various city depart
ments that all appropriations ia next
years budget would-have to be made
as small as possible. Mr. Draper said
he believed the city assessment would
amount TO about s79,OOO.OOO, or about
S2.0OO.0O0 more than this year.
The various items that had TO be
faced by Council next year. such as
interest on bonds, bond issues. water
department funds and all other city
department finances were discussed.
Mr. Draper said he understood the
Board of Education would be likely TO
request 100000. and that II all re-
quests were granted, an increase of
10 cents on the tax rate would not
meet the demands. Such an increase
on the tax rate. ho said, would amount
TO about $4,000. which would be
lower than the extra amount demand
ed by the city departments.
Mr. Draper said the burden Of all
taxes fell on the little fellow" and
these people would have TO be con-
sidered. He said he spoke on the sub
ject so that Council might know
what is to be asked OF the body.
While Mr. Draper did not say so
during his remarks. It is thought the
Council will not make any increase in
the tax rate this year, and that ap-
propriaiions next year are going to
be kept down TO the lowest possible
business estimate.

CHARITY.

During the past year several Syr
Ian and Armenian men have can
vassed Mountain Home In the Interest
OF some supposed Christian mission
orphanage or school. In each case
quite an amount was secured from
benevolent and religious people.
Impressive looking credentials in
the Armenian language were carried
and in most cases recommendations
from clergymen of various churches.
| One man carried recommendation
from the governo: II Idaho and
other prorninen men, al. stating their
belief that the mea and his cause
was all right. When The man reach
cd Salt Lake City some one took the
trouble to investigate and louul that
there was no such institution as his
papers described. He was plain
fraud imposing upon the generosity
and good impulses of our people. He
was arrested, convicted and Is now
serving his sentence.
A few weeks ago a woman made
a canvas OF the town collecting
money for some supposed mission in
California. When questioned she
could not tell what church had the
mission in charge nor lust where
the mission was
Not long since a man passing HIM
self Off as a minister canvassed the
town for money to travel on. In
one case when refused, his language
was so vile as to brand him an inn
postor without further evidence.
1t Is as important TO give in
telhgently as it 10 to give at all. i
There can be NO doubt that there
Is great need OF help for the down
prosecuted Christians through
out the Turkish Empire. If one has
anything to give, 1t should be given
through the American Red Cross So
ciety, Washington, D. c., or through
he missionary departments of the
various churches. In either case one
nay be sure that what he has given
viii be honestly spent for the object
contributed.
These organizations do not employ
Armenians or Syrians to
collect funds for them. II the col
ector Is genuine he will come duly
ccredited through the church organi-
'atdon or Red Cross Society. There
vill be no question as to his standing.
Intelligent giving is grace and
blessing Unintelligent giving US
ally encourages and helps perpetu-
to frauds.
