INCREASED ASSESS
MENT REDUCES TAX
LEVY FOR SCHOOLS
Meeting Of Board of Education Held
Last Night When Figures Are Re-
vlsed To Comply With Amount
Of City's Assessment.

At a special meeting of the City
Board of Education held at the High
School building Friday evening a reso-
luton was adopted fixing the tax levy
for the next fiscal year at ~ cents
for school purposes and IA cents for
the bonded Indebtedness of the schools.
This is a reduction of cents from
the original levy fixed by the Board
and presented to Council upon which
they have not yet acted.
1t was explained by the finance COM
mittee of the board in making this
change at last nights meeting that the
increase in the assessment of the city
property made II possible to make this
four cents reduction in the levy to
produce the amount of money neces-
sary for the schools for the next fiscal
year.
While the levy for school purposes
is reduced this will make no difference
in the amount of money asked for by
the School Board in their original bud
get to City Council and this budget is
not changed in the least.
1t is expected that Council will hold
special meeting on next Monday eve
ming when they will receive this COM
munication from the School Board re-
vising the levy and at that meeting it
is expected that the Council will act on
the matter of fixing the levy for the
city for all purposes. Councilmen are
now of the opinion that there is no
way of running the schools and the
city government under levy of $1.55
per 800 of taxable property and this
will in all probability be the levy fixed
at Mondays meeting.

sion of Problems.

vened yesterday at the Covington Lii
brary Auditorium. "The newspaper
business" said Mr.. Cozine, Should en-
joy prosperity the same as other lines
of business and there will be no oppo-
sition by advertisers to an increase in
rates which insure reasonable profit
for the publisher"
Benjamin S. Herbert, Chicago, rep
resenting the National Printer-Journ-
alist, read a paper which explained in
detail the news print paper conditions,
which, he said, are growing more seri-
Gus. He said half the paper in the

extravaganza in paper as they have
been in many other things, with the
result that they are now facing a tim
ber famine.

who are not advised as to the workings

prise to the outsider to know that
since February this bureau has han
died a total of $35,241, and only $2,225
of this amount was paid in by the
farmers in dues, the balance being
business done for the farmers by the
bureau in the purchase of supplies of
various kinds.

BOLSHEVISM FLAYED
BY X. OF C. LECTU-
RER FRIDAY NIGHT
David GOIdstein Is Heard BY Large
Audience In Plea For Americanlsm
-~BOlsheVists are Socialists"

"Bolshevism, What Is 1t? The Rem
edy For It," was the theme that David
Goldstein, Knights of Columbus lee
turer, dealt with in his lecture at the
court house last night. The matter
! brought out and the manner in which
il was given will long be remembered
by those who assembled to greet this
foremost expert on this and kindred
subjects. for Mr. Goldstein is noted
throughout the United States and Can
ada as a lecturer, author, and debater
of high standing on modern sociolog-
ical subjects.
The lecture was as advertised. not
TRADE against the reds" but an un
folding of the subject in its economic
social. patriotic, constitutional and
moral phases. The lecture began with
setting forth of the qualifications of
the Knights of Columbus for taking
up the defense of American institu-
tions and Christian civilization against
the assault of radicals of the social
istic variety.
Mr.. Goldstein dispassionately en-
planned that bolshevism is a nickname
for socialism, that what is known as
bolsheyism is the teaching of social
lists everywhere the teachings of the
socialist, the socialist labor, the social
democratic, the communist, and the
communistic labor parties of the Unit
ed States put into operation. His claim
is that it is the Russian name for what
is now being taught in II inter-col-
legiate socialist societies organized in
as many colleges and universities of
our country.
BY reference to the constitution of
the Russian socialist federated soviet
republic. Mr.. Goldstein showed how
private ownership of land is abol-
ished forever" together with the in
struments of production. All tho cap
ital is taken without any compensa-
tion whatsoever" The speaker con-
trasted such action to the constitu-
tional law of our own land which up
holds the inviolability of the principle
OF private ownership and guarantees
| Just compensation for private property
when taken over by the government.
II was at this period that Mr.. Gold
stein showed a familiarity with his
subject that was interesting and en-
tightening. He made plain why the
Catholic church, whose principles the
X. of c. is organized to uphold and
advance. is against the monopoly of
land or other lucrative property.
whether by a few landlords or cap
italists. by a dictatorship of the pro-
letariat or by the state. The right
principle, he declared, is that of a
multiplicity of owners OF the neces-
sary means of living. The benefit Of
private ownership as compared to CEN
tralized ownership was explained.
II was while speaking upon the sub
ject of free speech and free press that
Mr.. Goldstein brought forth the evil
dence to prove that the socilistic-bol-
sheyist element OF our country had in
mind to carry out the program in our
own country that was followed in
Paris and Moscow and Petrograd.
They would have the red flag TO float
over the capitol building at Washing
ton.
