MAYOR CONSIDERS
BUDGET DEMANDS
Smith and Financial Advisers
Weigh Requests for Money
for 1920 Needs y
INCREASES IN PAY COSTLY

Departmental demands for 1920, to-
taling in excess of S50,00O,0O0, are
being made the subject of study By
Mayor Smith and his financial advisers.
The needs of the harbor as outlined
by Director Webster, of the Depart
ment of Wharves, Docks and Ferries,
are being gone over today.
Joseph P. Gaffney, chairman of
Councils finance committee, and City
Solicitor John P. Connolly are at work
on a form of budget that Councils will
be asked to adopt by resolution next
week. On this form the Mayor will
report the department needs on or be-
fore October Is.
Although the city officials have made
no announcement as to the final form
of the budget, it is believed that this
year, as in the past, separate column
will be carried out to show the in
creases resulting from new places and
salary increases asked by city and
county heads.
Take Up Big Increases
The salary increase column in the
Department of Wharves, Docks and
Ferries is said to be small owing to the
fact that the budget for 1920 does not
materially increase the total of $685.,
79S asked for the present year. The
big increases will be taken up Thurs
day, when Director Wilson, of the De-
partment of Public Safety, will pre-
sent his need for nearly 50 ZOO, 900 in
excess of the between $40 1000, 900 and
$11 900. 900 cost of upkeep for the
present year. The two big increases
are due to the plan to put policemen
and firemen on a salary plan level with
that. of other large cities throughout
the country.
Conferences have been arranged for
daily during the few weeks that will
elapse before the middle of October,
when all estimates must be in the
hands of Councils finance committee
for final revision.
Need Of Tax Boost
The need of tax rate increase is
easily capable of proof, not only be-
cause of the increase incident to pay
boosts, but because of the loss of
81 900, 900 revenue from liquor licenses
and the possible loss Of between $500,
600 and $780, 900 additional revenue if
the plan of President Mitten, of the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company.
to abolish exchange tickets is adopted
by Councils and approved by the Pub
lie Service Commission.
Other reductions in revenue will re
suit from the necessity to repay
planned temporary loan. Despite this
rather gloomy outlook, it is not believed
that Mayor Smith or Councils will give
any serious consideration to increasing
the burden of taxation already carried
by realty.

Police Visualize Riot,
Only Family Fight

Chicago.-When a woman's voice
excitedly announced over the tele-
phone that there was going to be
riot on South La Sale street" visions
of a sanguine battle between the
races caused Sergt. Warrington to
start things moving in the station
house. About a dozen patrolmen
moved on high speed to the police
automobile, hurriedly summoned, and
proceeded on high speed to the neigh
borhood from which the riot CALI
came.
On arriving the automobile spilled
its load of police, who were greeted
by Julia Barnes, negress.
You all the police 1 called?" she
queried
Yes. Where's the riot?"
"Hain't none yet. but there will be
if my oil man don't come across with
some money tonight
The patrolmen lost interest, but
questioned Julia further Then the
riot squad, led and directed by Julia,
proceeded to the Barnes domicile.
The other half of the promised riot
was not at home. Neighbors told the
police he sure was stepping some
when seen going south in a nearby
alley.
Julia was advised to take her trou-
bles into court

Abe, right now there is a movement
on foot among them anti people to
take away the only real anecdOte for
a rotten meal, which IS a good cigar,
and II the people OF this country is
going to treat as a joke this new
anti-tobacco campaign the way they

Abe, It wouldn't be long before we
would be coming back from lunch

of the drinking habit, Mawruss, why
don't they take this opportunity when
food is So high to strike at the habit
which Is really and truly at the root
of both, the smoking and drinking
habit. which is the eating habit" Abe
suggested. Most people only drink
liquor with their meals anyway. and
very few people can smoke on an
empty stomach. so here is a chance
to hit the food hoarders and cold
storage pirates a death blow and at
the same time hold UP the hands of
the President, Mawruss, by starting
an attack on the Demon Mutton and
making them loafers which Is slaves

Nephi IL and later chapters.
There is but one church on the
earth today claiming authority in
the Holy Priesthood by direct suo-
CessiOn from the Primitive Church /;
and surely none can consistently as
sert priestly powers by spontaneous
origination. The rational interpre-
tation OF history reveals the literal
fulfilment OF ancient prophecy in
the absolute loss of sacredotal au-
thority during the early centuries
OF the Christian Era; so that pres
ent-day claim to the Priesthood
through unbroken succession from
the Apostles Of old rests upon ar
bitrary assertion only.

lively vested. no sect spring from
that parent institution can Inherit

The Church Of Jesus Christ Of
Latter-day Saints positively AYERS
that 1t lays claim to no priestly au-
thority through mortal succession
reaching back to the Primitive
Church Of the East, nor by descent
from the Nephite Church Of CHRIST
as established on the Western Con-
tinent.
To the contrary, this Church af-
firms the complete cessation OF Di-
vine commission in churchly organ
izations, and the consequent neces-
sity of a restoration-a new dis
pensation from the heavens.
This Church disavows any and
all derivation OF appointment or
commission direct or implied, from
other organizations, Catholic or
Protestant. established" or dissent
ing churches, sects or parties. It
defends the rights of all men,
whether church members or not, to
worship as they severally choose to
do, and to believe in and advocate
the genuineness of any sect or
church to which they elect to be-
long; and, by the same principle Of
liberty, it claims the right to set
forth its own professions and doc
trines, the while bespeaking for
these a dispassionate and prayerfuI
consideration.
The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints avows that the
to earth I'm the present age, by
means and manner strictly in accord
with prophecy; and that through di-
rect bestowal from the heavens the
authority to administer the ordi-
nances Of the Gospel, which are in
dfspensable to individual salvation,
is operative today in preparation for

prophets and by the coming Lord

In ike manner authority to ad-

pei of Jesus Christ must be definite
ly vested through personal confer
ment as the law Of God prescribes.
sAnd no man taketh this honor
unto himself, but he that Is called
God, as was Aaron, CHeb. 5:4).
Aaron was called and set apart to
the priestly Office by revelation from
God through Moses. and retributive
punishment fell upon all who essay
ed to minister without authority in
the priests office. Consider the aw-
full fate OF Korah and his associates

King though he was, his royal au-

the principal causes that led to his

Elders, priests, bishops, teachers
and deacons IN the Primitive Church
on the Eastern Hemisphere were all
similarly ordained; and so a success

church, corrupted and apostate, was
no longer worthy to be called the
