RED CROSS Wants

D. c. Chapter Needs Money to
Prepare for the Wars

Wanted, at once, 100000.
OF this, $4,000 has already been con-
tributed.
The District of Columbia Chapter of
the Red Cross wants this money to pre-
pare now for war demands.
The Red Cross is the one agency au-
thorized by Congress to take charge of
relief work, both among the soldiers and
sailors and marines who are lighting
and among the -combatants-needy
families of those in military service,
and the industrial army of skilled
workers that is being modified to keep
the government properly supplied.
Under the leadership of Washington's
most prominent business and professional
men the District chapter of the Red
Cross has made this appeal to Wash
ingtonians.
The responses are coming in satisfac-
torlly to the committee-address. Wads-

900 instead of $4,000 was reached at a
conference of the executive committee

other half as needs arise
Quite bit of fun was added to the
meeting when the members of the COM
mittee, after announcing their personal
donations. began making them for their
children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren.
Personal solicitation will be the meth
cd employed to raise the larger sub
scriptions. Each member of the finance
committee will send in to the chairman
a list of people from whom he will per-
sonally solicit subscriptions Other
names will be allotted by the chairman.
Special efforts will be made to inter-
est the government employees. who have
always been generous givers.

FL Paso T ak Values Above Actual Values In 1882
Progress of Development Shown On Tax Books

IN 1882, when Ell Paso offered its
bid TO be made capital Of the
i county. the total assessed taxable
values were placed at s2.153,907. more
than the whole town probably could
have been sold for at that time and
this system OF assessing city property
was continued in 1888 and 1884. But
for the next five years actual values
made q decided advance, on account
Of the county seat being removed to
Ell Paso from Tsleta-
There are no records in the city
assessors office to show values prior
to 1882, but the records from
1889 to 1916 are complete and they
tell of FL Paso's advances and re-
treats up to and including 1904. after
which time there were no retreats,
but the city advanced steadily.
When everything in FL Paso had
been assessed for more than its mar
ket value In 1882, the total taxable
values amounted to only s2,153,907.
and the tax rate was Is cents on the
500. But In 1888 there was an increase
Of S650,O00 and the tax rate increased
more than 200 percent It was 70
cents on the 500. There was a steady
increase in values until 1889. when
they reached s6.624.5O0 and the tax
rate was "a cents for that year.
Values Fall in 1890.
In 1890 there was a sharp decrease
In values and the rate jumped up to
sl48, while the values had fallen to
s5,310,71O, and in 1892 values went down
to s5.175.000. with q tax rate Of SI.6O.
The next year the values went still
further. showing only S5.359.I9O. while
the rate advanced to $I.S5. the same
rate FL Pasoans are paying today
when the valuation is ten times great
er than in 1888. The city had not more
than Is policemen in 1893 and had no

WIN War Or Face
National Degradation"
By c. A. MARTIN.

A letter to the chamber Of
commerce from the federal re-
serve hank at Dallas says.
SAT this time of great national
need, we appeal to you on behalf
OF the treasury department OF
the United States government TO
ask your members TO assist US
in floating the Liberty loan
I'VE ask you to call upon
every large employer Of labor
and request him to loan the serv-
ices of his city saleSmen for one
day. for the purpose Of q great
selling drive of Liberty bonds.
we would like these men TO visit
every responsible business man
in your city ard district and take
subscriptions for bonds.
saThe necessity for some strong,
concerted action is very great
the average citizen is not doing
his duty. and means must be
taken to arouse him
"Our appeal to the business men
of your city is based on the GER
tain assumption that we must
win this war or face national
degradation and monetary losses
beyond computation"

A@ BE government OF the United
States has two methods OF
= raising funds" said James
Graham McNary, president Of the FL
Paso Clearing house. "One is by
taxation; the other is By the sale OF
bonds It must raise its funds by
either Of these methods" The bond
ing method is the governments Dor
rowing method Its bonds are its
promise to re1sy the money with
interest in q certain length Of time
"a bond is as safe as gold, for
back Of the promise Of the govern
ment stands the honor Of the govern
ment and all its taxing resources
Really the whole wealth of the ma
ton stands behind this solemn prom
ise Of the government to pay.
This makes a United States gov
eminent bond the safest Investment
in the world. II the bond Of the United
States is not safe. no property in the
United States Is safe. II the United
States can not pay its bonds, ii is
hardly probable that IL viii be able
10 protect the citizens in their other
rights
THE liberty loan bonds Of 1917 are
especially attractive investments Not
only have they this absolute safety
characteristics Of all United States
bonds but they are tax free not only
from all existing taxes but from
any war tax that may subsequently
be levied. No state, city. nor county
may tax them
Another advantage these liberty
loan bonds possess is that IL the gov
eminent issues bonds later on dur
ing the war at a higher rate of in

bonds will be allowed to exchange
