ready cut $11,5 500 from the schools. The cut of 5000 on the street de- partment budget would mean the loss of three times that amount from the state. He mentioned the money cut for Standardization and said that the work of the Am ericanization commit tee should at least be given a. chance and if it is no good it can be dis pensed with. He said the most glar ing defect in the Taxpayers budget was the fact that so much was figured on estimated income. Speaking on the matter, he said:
 '"The association says it has to cut down the tax rate four mills. That's all camOuf1age. The TaXjayers' budg- ct figures $76,000 from back taxes and $25,0O0 from liquor licenses-or about two mills in all. That is merely fooling yourself because about JanU- ary l you will have to borrow the money. That will have to be paid next year. No provision has been made to pay the interest on the loan."
 The speaker then explained that the talk on the Park street work had been mislea ding. He explained that there is no tax for the construction of subways or sewers. They are al ready provided for, according to MT. Chamberlain.
 The tax rate offered to you. as a matter of fact, a 23-mill budget. I remember the old days of which MT. McMahon has spoken. When we took over the town we also took over town debts of over $200,0O0. Now we pay as we go,'' were the concluding re- marks of Mr Chamb be rIaiO,
 In rebuttal. MT. McMahon spoke on the possibility of collecting back taxes. Mayor Quigley also spoke in rebuttal telling of the possibility of laying taxes to provide public work. About $500 boys are yet to return from the service and even now peo- pie are applying for work. The mayor pointed out that the net debt of the city in 1914 was 3,O19,830.64 and to- day it is s3,169, ,450.44, which is an increase of s149,611.80. The general assets of the city showed $6,976- 465.2O in 1914 and in 1918 the assets were S8,023,771.07. a' gain of $1,047- 305.87 The cash assets of the city in 1914 were $477,279 and in 1918 it was s799,71S, an increase of $332, 437.

PORTLAND FACES 25-MILE TAX.
Woman Subscriber Thinks That New
 Britain Ought to Be Satisfied Now.

Hello, is this 926-Herald Office 2"
 Yes"
 Did you know that Portland, Conn. is facing 25-mill tax rate?"
 NO; is it?"
 "Why, yes; haven't you got onto that yet? You know what a small town Portland is. and it seems to me that if Portland can afford to pay a 25-mill tax, New Britain people ought to be. ashamed of themselves to be making such a fuss over a 25-mtll tax rate here"
 The above telephone conversation took place this morning when wom- an subscriber, and one evidently talk ing a great interest in the tax ques- tion called up the Herald Office to voice what she considered an argu- ment in favor of the administration.

When the new dock is built, II 1t is

vantage Of cheap water rates every

river than by transcontinentaI rail
roads-as all Iowa, Nebraska and
other western sites know already.
It Is Up TO keokuk.
This dock will not be built, and the
boats will not stop at Keokuk at all,
unless the people OF Keokuk say they
want It.
The city council will not spend a
dollar on the dock until after the peo-
pie Of the city have said at an election
that they want the boats to stop here
and want the dock necessary to stop
them built here.
This election will be held some time
later To date nobody has opposed
the plan, which seems to most people
necessary TO the continued prosperity
of Keokuk which otherwise would be
off the river, while cities above and
below would have the river traffic and
consequent cheaper freight rates, upon
which all merchandising depends.

MOVING PICTURES.
At the Hippodrome.

A remarkable photoplay produc.
ton was given its premiere showing
at the Hippodronie last night when
the management of that theatre pre-
scented the Jewel production, The
Heart of Humanity" And at the
same time, new figure took his
place among the three or four really
great moving picture directors. This
figure was Allan Holubar, who both
conceived the story and transferred
it to the screen.
Love forms the central theme of
The Heart of Humanity" and. as
the title implies. it is the story of
all the living, breathing world. 1t is
the story of the love that lives in a
mothers heart; of the love that
dwells in the hearts Of all sweet
hearts; OF the love that exists in the
hearts of all husbands and wives. 1t
is the story of the grand passion
which prompts humanity to do and
dare for what is good and right, even
to the extent of sacrificing life it
self.
Dorothy Phillips, as Nannette,
gave marvelously intelligent inter
probation of the stellar role. Surely,
this talented young actress has
travelled far since the days when
she appeared in comedy roles. We
venture the assertion that her work
in this production justly entities Miss
Phillips TO be regarded as one of
the screens foremost artistes.
As the Widow Patricia, the mother
whose FIVE sons go forth to battle
for humanity, Margaret Mann is
satisfying in every way. She repre-
sents every mother in the land and
the manner in which she meets the
heart wounds which the war infficts
upon her viii endear her to every
man, woman and child who sees the
production.
The Widow Patricia's FIVE sons are
portrayed by William Stowell. Robert
Anderson, the "M'sieu Cuckoo of
Hearts of the World" Frank Braid
wood, George Hackathorn and Walt
Whitman. They seem to have been
made for their respective roles. Eric
Won Stroheim again gives one of his
realistic performances.
We have not dwelt upon the spec
tacular angle of the film because,
az marvellous as is the latter, the
love story overshadows it to SO great
an extent as to make the war ele-
ment mere background. By all
means see THE Heart of Humanity"

musical score is feature not to be
