Volunteer Santa Clauses to fill
Empty Stockings Christmas Eve.
From now until the close of the
Christmas season the Riddles will hold
the center of the stage. It's the little
ones who lead the way to smiledom
and Kenosha Riddles will be given the
chance to take the lead with kiddies
throughout the U: ted States who come
under the influence of the Fill an
Eempty Stocking Club"
Already Santa Claus is receiving
little notes setting forth the dearest
wishes Of the senders. Many of the
notes are from tots who need not fear
that Christmas morning will find them
disappointed in the contents of their
Christmas stockings but the most are
from youngsters who will not know
the joys of Yuletide unless "big
brothers," or "big sisters" interest
themselves in the cause.
News" Will Aid Cause.
AS has been usual in past years the
various charitable and club organiza-
tions in the city will carry out their
usual program of distributing necessi-
ties and goodies to "the little children
of the poor" But there is always a
place for more volunteers and it is
with this end in view that Kenoshans
are asked to join the Fill an Empty
Stocking Club" Persons who to join
the club may communicate with the
empty Stocking Editor" at the News.
The names secured will be turned over
60 the proper officials who will thus
be enabled to make it merrier Christ
mas for hundreds of Kenosha kiddies.
Any letters strayed on their delivery
to Santa Claus will also be forwarded
from the News office.
While the various fraternal organi-
cations have not announced definite
line of campaign for the 1920 season
the program will undoubtedly follow
the same lines as in former years
The officials of the Salvation Army
have announced that the street corner
kettles and boxes in the stores will
shortly make their appearance. With
the many organizations in Kenosha
who will gladly cooperate with one
who wants to fill an empty stocking il

AID STARVING CHINA
Millions Of Dollars Subscribed by
People Of Country.
Famine In Seven Provinces Is Said
to Affect About 100000
Persone.

STANDARDIZATION Of dollars have
been subscribed here to the general
fund raised in various centers In China
to provide relief for the Inhabitants
of n great belt spread oye seven
provinces In northern China where
crops have failed and whole popula-
lions were starving to death.
II was estimated that the famine,
the worst China has experienced In
n half century, had fastened It's grip
upon between 30,0O0,000 and 100000
Of people who faced a north country
winter after Il harvest only about eight
per cent OF normal.
While relief organizations were be-
Ing formed in Picking and other cen
ters aud the Chinese government had
set in motion ponderous and slow nov
Ing machinery, about 40 leading Chi
nese organized the Seven Provinces
Famine Relief association. and within
o week had received contributions
amounting to a little less than 81
COO 900.
Foreign aid in the campaign for
funds was enlisted at n mass meet
ing that was attended by represents

A committee appointed at this meet
ing, working with the executive body

600 would be required-was passed In

EQUALIZATION

The hope expressed by State Tax
Comm ssioner Melvin G. Morse that
the state will be given authority to
make assessments in towns where
valuations appear to need 1t is a hope
to which the Reformer has frequently
given voice. No equitable distribution
of tax burdens win be possible unit |
SC me central authority has the right
to enforce uniform system of property
valuation. 1t is common report that
many towns set their valuations with
a deliberate eye to making their share
Of the state tax as small as possible,
and without a state equalizat on board
there appears to be nc remedy for this
unsatisfactory situation -Brattleboro
Reforme;.
Under old conditions, when each
town was almost sufficient to itself.
or when at least it had no particular
business with the grand lists Of other
towns, it was not so impc rtant to have
grand lists made up strictly according
to law; now it is different.
The heavy state tax of the past
two years has been paid by inequi-
table assessments upon the various
towns. due to the manifold variations
Of grand lists. Some towns make up
their grand | SITS with some approx
mate relation to the law which re-
quires property TO be assessed a. its
true value in none and assess a
moderate tax rate; others deliberately
hold down the grand list and assess a
heavy tax rate.
Some Of them, as the tax commits
sioner points out. evidently do this
deliberately. for the express purpose
Ct eyading the state tax. Even when
theer is no state tax, or when Il is
a nominal five or ten cents on the
grand lists, the disparity in the dis.
tributions Of highway and school
taxes IS a motive for dishonest or at
least doctored tax lists.
But whatever the motive and what.
eve the pretext. the law Is clear
enough and there Is no doubt that
towns are deliberately making mp their
grand lists without complying with
that law. Evidently. too. there Is no
chance Of enforcing the law by under
taking TO hold the listers to account,
sc the need Of a state board or author.
ity with the power to rev SO grand
lists constitutes an issue that affects
every taxpayer in the state.
Legalizing grand lists by legislative
enactment used to be quite a consider
able portion Of the doings of a Yer
mont Legislature II some aggrieyed
taxpayer yer gets into the courts
there viii be some disclosures that
will show that not enc half Of the
grand lists Of the state are even ap-
proximately legal
II is time such conditions we're
