ASKS JAIL FOR TAX DODGERS
Mayor Thompson of Chicago Asks
Joint Session Of Legislation for
Financial ReIief-Cites Data
to Prove Needs.

Springfield, April 80. = Mayor
Thompson and a delegation of city Of
ficials and business men Of Chicago
waited upon the state legislature in an
attempt to gain relief for the stringent
financial difficulties OF the metropolis.
In an address to the joint session of
the general assembly, Mayor Thomp-
son pointed out the needs of the city,
it's constantly increasing population
and it's decreasing revenues, and
pressed the request for revision OF the
state laws so that the city may boost
the tax rate from $1.10 to $2.35. An
increase in the bonding power OF the
city is also sought so that the city may
complete numerous public improve
ments. The mayor said that he be-
lieved the legislature should pass a
state law similar to the federal law
which would make it possible to send
tax dodgers to Jail. In 1910. the
mayor pointed out, the city's share or
the taxes was $S,593, 1871 while in 1918
it was $11, 91O401 an increase of
about 80 per cent The increase in
population meanwhile was 100000. he
said. On the other hand, in 1910. the
states share of the taxes collected in
Chicago was $2,546,9S3, and in 1918
it was $S,12O 72S, an increase of APP
proximately 220 per cent. Had the
city's share of the Chicago taxpayers
dollar increased in an equal proper
ton with the states share" said the
mayor, at would not now be neceS-
sary for us to appeal to the legisla-
ture for relief from our present con-
ditiOn, because an equal ratio of in
crease for the city would have pro-
vided for the corporate fund out Of
the tax levy of 1918, nearly 2S,OOO,-
900. instead of about $12 100000" The
mayor also pointed out that in the
last five years the appropriations OF
the state government have increased
from about $16,750,000 in 1914, to al
most $3OOOO,000 in the current year,
an increase Of rs per cent. On che
contrary Chicago appropriations for
corporate purposes have decreased
from about $26,OOO,OOO in 1914 to S24,-
10000 in 1918, loss of about ST. ,250.-
600, or a decrease Of about 4.3 per
cent, he declared.

Use for a Red Flag

The red flags which mauy cities
are now properly barring from be-
ing displayed, may still be put to
good use, says an exchange, by
using the following recipe:
Take your red flag and cut it
into long narrow strips. Using
seven of these strips and six white
stripes of similar length and width,
sew them together, alternating the
colors. Cut out rectangle in one
of the upper corners of what you
now have to the depth of seven of
the strips thus united (four red
and three white) and put a piece
of blue cloth in its place. Upon the
blue sew forty-eight white stars,
and you will have flag that you
may display with pride anywhere
in the world.
If you don't want to go to the
trouble of following the above re-
cipe, the only. proper use of your
red flag is danger signal, which
is it's true significance, whether
used by a railroad workman or
haunted by anarchist, socialist or
