Mass Meeting Of Peace Advo-

summed up in the words Cancellation,
arbitration and democracy" were
adopted at mass meeting held. by the
Emergency Peace federation tonight in
Madison Square Garden as protest
against war.
"This mass meeting" the resolutions
said in part, protests against the
proclamation by the metropolitan press
that state of war exists between the
United States and Germany; protests
against the campaign of misrepresent-
alton by those who would profit from
plunging this country into the abyss
OF war: protests against the systematic
inflammation of the public mind by
hystcrical preparations for war.
Army in Europe.
statistics show clearly that to send
considerable army to Europe would
involve such a drain on our food re-
sources as to plunge us into the famine
conditions of Europe. The idea that
war would bring any real prosperity
to the country at large is a cruel
illusion even though doubtless some
individuals or Industrial groups might
profit for a time.
TT on the other hand the United
States should adopt the suggestion OF
certain financial leaders and use
money only. not armies, we should find
ourselves as nation merely an APP

protection of the entire debt and tends
to encourage war for the extension of
loans.

that instead of entering upon the

HAULING TAX.

It has come to my notice that
there are a number of men from
out of town who do hauling into
town for pay, or for contracts,
who heretofore have paid no priv
lege tax to the town, and proba-
bly, they have never been asked
for payment of any tax, but, as
the question is one Of right and
fairness, these men, even though
thew live outside the town limits,
who do hauling into town, should
like the town man, who pays the
tax, also pay a like tax, and much
tax is now overdue.
In view fthe fact that these
men have not given the matter
any previous consideration the
time limit 70 rthe payment OF
this hauling privilege tax will be
extended, to those VIII have not
heretofore been notified, for ten
days, by July 10 all must be paid
or the penauty will be inforced.
