MAR|TAL PAC|F|ER
SOCIAL WELFARE LEAGUE At
WATERLOO IN NEW YORK.
Hopes to Reduce Divorces 25 Per Cent
by Acting as Domestic Shock Alb.
sorber - Experienced Social Welfare
Worker to BE Put on Job in Effort to
Iron Out Domestic Misunderstand-
inss - Judges Back Move.

Waterloo, Dec. "a saving of 20
per cent OF the divorce actions nov
fled In court can be effected by the
service OF an experienced social work
CIR sort OF domestic pacihcator, one
who can adjust the differences that
arise in the homes OF MARRIED folk, in
the opinion Of the district and munt-
opal court judges and lawyers WAC
nave vide experience in cases Of this
kind.
mis- new agency to dispel domestic
infelicity was recommended as part
or the enlarged scope OF the social
welfare league, At a conference at the
court house among the judges, attor-
neSs, social workers, the poiIce matron
and calet OF police. Present also were
w. y. BIrdsaIl, who has just retired as
q municipal judge; A. J. Edwards,
president of the league, and +. w.
Edwards chairman OF the bureau on
social work with adults.
Situation Can Be Notified.
II was the consensus among jurists
and attorneys that skilled social
worker. a sort of anti divorce doctor
as it were. would be able to perform q
worth " hile service in keeping the
home intact. They believe that the
right sort of Individual, preferably a
woman, can perform an invaluable
social service in preventing divorce.
The judges believe such person can
obviate legal action in 20 per cent OF
the cases that otherwise would land
in court. .H
The idea would be TO employ
qualified woman 10 work in co-opera-
ton with the courts and the attorneys.
This need has been recognized. it was
explained. but lack of funds mas pre-
vented any special service along this
line.
Probation Officer For Adults.
The conference also developed the
fact that there is pressing need for
a probation officer for adults of both
sexes. At present there Is such an
officer for Juveniles. but the need is
strong for some one to whom adults
may be paro,ed. o.
An enhancement of the confidential
exchange also was recommended by
the Judges and others at the confer
ence. The new plan in this respect
would include the registration of cases
in either the district or municipal
court, so that either branch might
know what cases have come before the
other.
1t was advised that the police
matron look after delinquents over 10
years Of age and the juvenile probation
officer look after those under that
age.

Place the Blame Where it Prop
erIy Belongs.

I
erly Belongs.
In discussing the State Tax
Commission in the Russell
Johnston joint debate at Walden,
Candidate Lee Russell said:
THE record shows that as re-
suit of the State Tax Commits
sion property assessments were in
creased four for one in Coahoma
county-the home of Oscar John
ston, while assessments in Car
roll county for the maintenance
of State government were aCtu
ally decreased. If your property
value was the same and you
paid more taxes in Carroll COun-
ty in 1917 than in 1916. before
the Tax Commission was Oper-
alive, the raise is chargeable TO
some act of the county board of
supervisors. and not the State
Tax Commission, as Johnston
would have you believe. Don't
forget that"
The above doings of the State
Tax Commission in its applica-
ton to COahOma and Carroll
counties throws a side light on
its doings as applied TO Monroe
county, and all over the State as
for that matter. After the Tax
Commission had increased the
property assessments of COahO-
ma county four for one and
other delta counties correspond
ingly as much. the Monroe Coun-
ty property assessment roll, first
having been equalized by our
board of supervisors was re-
viewed by the State Tax Com
mission, which ordered that 20
per cent. be added to the gross
valuation of property in the
county. Had the Monroe coun-
~ board obeyed that order inn
plicitly and added 20 per cent. 10
each property value as ii APP
peared on the roll which was
sent to Jackson and passed on
by the Tax Commission, we
dare say, little complaint about
increased taxes would be heard
from the tax payers of this Coun-
~.
Instead of carrying out this
order so that no person would
feel more than another the action
of the Tax Commission, there
are facts TO sustain that the
board raised the values of divers |
persons property from 200 TO 800 |
per cent. thus placing a prepon-
deranCe of the tax burden on the |
property of these tax payers.
Therefore, when Mr. Russell |
said that the raise, in many in
stances, is Chargeable to some
act of the county board of super
viSOrS, there was more truth in
The statement than appears on
the surface. Every tax payer
whose taxes were increased by
operation of the present taxing
system in this State should inves-
.igate how it came about and
place the blame where il prop
erly belongs.
