plan Is TO Make Brick teneefet'
structure Out Of Building as
soon as the Debt Is
Wiped Out

A reporter of the Daily Light on
his rounds visited the New Samaria
feoIored} Baptist church on East
Main street. where the pastor, Rev.
r 9. simmons. was found in his
study. Ii was with some degree OF
pride that the pastor exhibited the
pretty new building, which has an
auditorium with a seating capacity
of 500. Just behind the pulpit are
folding doors which open to the
baptistry. This ordinance of the
church may be administered in
plain view of all.
The church is equipped with 2
sewing department, three dressing
rooms. an assembly room for the
choir and a large gallery for the
choir where as many as fifty sing
ers may be seated.
The first service was held in this
new church on the first Sunday in
December and it is being used reg
ularly now by the congregation.
The cost is estimated at $4,000.
The church raised during the
year of 1915 the sum of s3,209.2S,
which was applied on the church.
The pastor and the congregation
feel proud Of their church and when
it is cleared OF debt, which now
amounts to about $4,000, it IS
their purpose to make the building
a brick veneer structure.

taxes nor an apology for the present
high taxes, but is simply statement
Of facts.
1t will be discovered by Mr.. Holm's
statement that the school tax was
$74.39, not far from one-half the en-
tire amount.
Mr.. Vanderwicken of Grundy coun-
ty writes to Mr.. J. W. Jarnagin. edi-
tor of the Iowa Farmer, that taxes
in Grundy county have more than
doubled within the past ten years.
He also relates that the salary of
the county treasurer is no greater
than when he handled half the money.
Mr.. Vanderwicken says: "If you want
to know where the money goes. watch
the bills that are allowed by the
county board of supervisors, by the
township boards and by school boards
and city councils" There are four
teen thousand people in Grundy coun-
ty and if the total tax were dis
tributed per capita, there would be
$3.50 for every man. woman and
child in the county. In 1906 the total
tax collected in Grundy county was
S152.O0O. In 1915. the total amount
was 1851, 900 Editor, Jarnagin says:
Taxes are not high if the people are
getting value received. We cannot
hope to have all the efficiency in
educational matters that the times
demand without having to pay for it.
We cannot expect the building Of per-
manent bridges and the bringing of
public highways to permanent grade
without paying for the work that is
accomplished. The expense of TAX
ing care of the poor has more than
in, TO " rThan Mr.
nagin says, with great truthfulness,
1.-THE greatest problem before the
people of Iowa is how best to get
full value received for. every dollar
in taxes" 1t is FORUM
ate thing that the matter of taxa
ton is being reviewed. The people
do not read the proceedings of the
boards of supervisors or the school
board. For that reason the increase
of taxation comes upon them as a
shock.

Mrs. Margaret Patterson starkwath-
err is Given Tribute as Repre-
sentative Mother Of
Church.
MOTHERS DAY OBSERVED
people Generally Remembered the
Day, But Forgot to Put Out
Flags as Urged by
Presids,nt.

Mrs. Margaret Patterson Stark
wather was given the, seat Of honor
on the platform in the First West
Minister Presbyterian Sunday schoo
yesterday as representative mother
of the church, in tn, celebration 81
Mothers day. Mrs. Starkwather de
serves honor for many reasons. First
for her own self, her splendid chris
tan character and devotion to the
church, combined with her friendly
spirit of good fellowship and her saw
ing sense of humor Which makes her
a most delightful companion And in
the second place because she is the
daughter Of Col. William Patterson in
whose home the Presbyterian church
was organized and who was its first
elder
Third. because she is the eldest
member of the Westminster church,
having Joined August i, 1854. The
honor paid her yesterday was given
lovingly and sincerely by the children
as well as by the older people of the
church.
There has been some discussion
locally as to whether the first, or
second Sunday in May is the official
Mothers day w. j. Fulton, super
intendent of the Westminster Sunday
school, took pains to investigate the
question and read yesterday the presi-
dents proclamation issued in 1914 in
which he states that both the senate
and the lower house passed joint
resolution designating the second
Sunday Of May as Mothers day and
urges its observance upon churches
of all denominations and creeds.
In this proclamation the president
ordered flags to be displayed on all
public buildings on that day and
urged that private individuals display
flags on their residences. No flags
were I'M evidence in Keokuk yester-
day, due to the fact that the atten-
ton of the public had not been called
to that fact. 1t is to be. hoped that
in the future the second Sunday in
May will be marked on the Keokuk
calendar as day for the display of
flags.
