AHUMBLE SUGGESTION

Industry and individuals have Just been paying
the last quarter of their income and it has been
the hardest to raise of any payment since
started. 3
REIMBURSEMENT OF taxation system has been
considered in order to tighten the tax burden and
distribute it tnoreequtably for individual and indus
try
Secretary OF the Treasury Houston submits
proposal which apparently does away with one form
of tax only to add heavier forms of taxation n the
average individual and industry in order to continue
10 raise taxes of war time proportions.
Would IT be out Of order for citizen to suggest
that be found for curtailing government require
ments to meet the shrinkage in wage and commodity
prices rather than find ways Of increasing taxa
ton remaining industries and incomes in order
cover loss to government derived from wartime bust
ness and incomes which longer exist.
In other words let the government get onto a
peace basis the its citizens and cut out its
cloth accordingly.

A critical and heart-rending sit
uation for stable and progressive
Christian organizations exists in
Germany at this moment according
to trustworthy news being received.
This crucial condition is almost en-
tirely due to the separation of
church and state by the Ebert gov
eminent, and the general discour-
agement economically OF the people.
Dispatches received at the New
York headquarters of the Inter-
church World Movement through
their Foreign Survey Department,
indicates huge exoduses from the
church organizations. And yet &C
cording to first-hand information.
the churches are crowded for their
services.
The Rev. Henry Jacob Schulz, of
New York, recently returned from
Europe as an American Lutheran
Commissioner in relief work, an

that in 1919, from January l to Sep
TENDER 80. there were recorded in
the municipal courts of Cologne, s.
513 church renunciations, and that
this movement has so increased in
volume that today there are in Co
logne 100 TO $50 daily renunciations.
In Berlin, for the same period. exo-
dus records are running high. There
they have reached 22,564. or 100
daily. In Cologne it is estimated by
some that the free-thinking or ag-
nostic population already exceeds
the Catholic population by $4,000.

Until the Revolution. the church was
a part of the state and was sup.
ported by it. The new constitution
declares that there is no state
church. Religious compulsion is
done away with, the church is made
self-governing, and for support must
rely upon established funds and con-
tributions of members.
Practically a similar condition ex-

countries, especially in Russia where
