Then Sergeant Holton gave the com

There they found IL COW quietly

Hiqh Rents and Political Duties

To rhC Editor NJ thH Er"ninO Publir Ledger:
Sufficiently in an editorial com
ment on rent protitcPring You suggested
that the tax authorities would even up
things by increasing the taxation on the
offenders buildings. The people who
have been forced into buying properties
at high figures are likely to make dis
covery next year when thcv come to
pay even the present rate of taxation
on their homes, tN say nothing of
a prospective increase
Very many are compelled to carry
heavy mortgages, having paid very lit =
tie cash. An increase in the tax rate,
be it much or little. will unquestion-
ably embarraSs them, and it will be
necessary for them to be rigidIy eco
nomcal if a disaster such aS the loss of
what they have paid down is to be
wardcd off.
An increase of the tax rate will GER
tainly result in the increase of rents.
1t cannot be avoided if the owners of
rented houses are to hold on to their
property. When the tax rate was in :
creased from Sl.5 to $3.50 who then
were the protitcerS? The city, the
place holders, or the owners? 1t was
certainly not the owners.
The men who have been forced to
buy their homes, and buy them at a
high figure, or be evicted, when they
come to contemplate their tax bill, will
have. for the first time in their lives, to
consider that they have become respon-
sible citizens and responsible for the
men they elect to Office. Heretofore the
renkrs have never given this a thought,
buG3Shen they get a tax bill ON their
higH priced house, a house they have
be- forced to buy, th9y win either get

RELIEF WORK Is
NEARING AN END

New York, July le.-The general
relief program Of the American RELIEF
administration which began last No
vember the great work OF caring for
starving Europe is approaching its
end. Last shipments Of supplies from
america are being made and food at
present in transit and that provided
for IN connection with the Terminals
ing OF the work is believed to be suf-
ficient to carry Europe through until
the next harvest.
Despite this approaching of,cial
termination of it's activities the AM
erican Relief administration will re-
main in Europe for some tine to con-
tinue the supervision of the child
feeding bureau now furnishing daily
supplementary meals to 4,0OO,OOO
children until individual nations are
themselves able to take over active
charge.
The total number OF supplies dis
tributed by the administration from
December to May was 2,4S6,230 tons
comprising 512 shiploads worth $685.
$4,000.
Strict Code for Workers.
Much Of the success of the Ameri-
can Relief administration In Europe
Is attributed to the strict code to
which its field workers were pledged
SAu WHICH demanded tnaI eacn -Qn0
every member Of the administration
Should abstain absolutely and en-
tirely from any commercial business
In his territory and should in no way
represent private commercial houses
The American representatives were
not permitted to engage in any local
political disputes and were in honor
bound to refrain from public criti-
cism Of individuals in the country
where they were working or sur
rounding countries.
Independent telegraph and wireless
service between all Of the principal
capitals under. direct control Of the
operators employed by the Relief ad-
ministration recently arranged for in
volyed the exclusive use of over
5000 miles of telegraph wires in
Europe. This was necessitated by the
complete disintegrstion of communi-
cations of all descriptions throughout
Europe during the war.
Courier service is now running
regularly all over Europe necessitated
by the breakdown Of postal service
abroad.
