Proposition, II Adopted, May Mean the
Solution Of Problem Of Raising
Badly Needed Revenue.

Washington.-A tax of one-quarter
of one per cent on all bank deposits

Collection of the tax would be made
at the time deposits were made and
institutions affected would include all
national, state and private banks,
trust companies, firms or corporations
receiving any money on deposit sub
ject to Withdrawals by check, cash or
otherwise.
Mutual savings banks, cooperative
building and loan associations and
similar institutions organized and OPP

Gentle, and Jerusalem, the most
sacred shrine of two of the worlds
greatest religions.
While the Turks, masters in Jeru-
salem for four hundred years, per-
mitted travellers to visit the Holy City,
and while thousands. of Jewish and
Christian pilgrims passed within its
walls and even took up their abode
there, the Moslem rule was none too
satisfactory when measured by west
ern standards. Now that the World
war has rescued Jerusalem from the
Mohammedan ally of Germany and
has led to the placing Of all Palestine
under the mandate Of a western
power, the Jews who return to the
land Of their fathers and their
prophets, and the Christians who visit
the birthplace of their religion are as
sured Of an atmosphere more to their
liking.
Since the allies under Gen. Allenby
entered Jerusalem December IL, 1917,
after driving out the Turks, and since
the Supreme Council of the Allied
Powers placed the mandate for Pales-
tine in Great Britain, April %. 1920, a
system Of western Jurisprudence has
grown up, police policies have been
modified, and steps have been taken
to improve sanitation and to plan the
future growth of the city along more
desirable lines in so far as arrange
ment and sanitation are concerned.
but so that the newer portions will
conform INTELLECTUALLY as nearly as
possible to the characteristic archi-
lecture of the old city.
The greatest physical boon to
Jerusalem resulting from the new dis
pensation is q generous supply of pure
water piped into the city by the
British within a few months after the
expulsion of the Turks, which dis
placed the dirty. diseaSp-breeding els
terms upon which the residents of the
city were previously dependent.
It was only necessary for the mod
ern engineers to clean out an old
Roman tank near Bethlehem to lead
the waters Of spring into it, and to
lay q pipe Zine to the city-and one
of Jerusalem's age-long needs was
filled.
/ Not only does the control of a west
ern power in Palestine promise in gen
eral q better day for the Jews and
Christians who desire to visit the
country or live there, but the situa-
ton is UNNECESSARILY bettered for the
Jews by the specific statement of the
Supreme Council of the Allied Pow
ers when the mandate was given to
Great Britain that their object was
that of the Balfour government: ''The
establishment in Palestine Of a nation
al home for the Jewish people :.

that nothing shall be done which may
prejudice the existing civil and re-
1igious rights of existing non-Jewish

colorful picture, their voices a Babel
of sounds. They are far different
from the crowds Of Bible times, for
each drawn to Jerusalm pilgrims from
the ends of the earth. Arabians from
the desert jostle impeccably-dr dressed
Europeans; Turks rub shoulders with
orthodox Jews in broad-brimmed hats
and long dusterlike robes or with
younger, more alert Jews in modern
western garb; Armenian, Greek and
Latin priests thread their way through
the throngs; monks Of various orders
march along; here and there a hooded
nun or yelled Moslem woman passes;
and in the Seething mass are Chris
tian pilgrims from every country un-
der heaven.
Many Of the spots in and about
Jerusalem, held in reverence because
they played q part in the lives Of the
great characters of the Old Testament,
or were made holy by associations
with the life of Christ, cannot be au-
chemically located. There is no doubt,
however, as to the site of SOlomOn's
temple, and for that reason as we'll
as because the spot is revered by
Jew, Christian and Moslem, it Is one
of the points of most general interest
in the Holy City. The dominant build
ing on the temple ST e at the present
time is the MohamuIedan mosque of
Omar The mosque is erected over
a great rock about which the holy
traditions of three religions cluster.
Before any religious edi1ces were
erected in Jerusalm the old Israelites
are reputed to have made their burnt
offerings to Jehovah on this rough nat
ural altar. Over the rock Solomon
later built his world-famous temple,
and it is supposed that the Ark of the
Covenant was set up upon the great
stone. In a small cavern in the rock,
tradition says, Solomon first perform
ed the rites of Masonry. In the mid
die ages the crusaders wOrshiped at
this craggy shrine, from which Titus
had torn the great temple; and when
the Saracens and later the Turks came
into control of Jerusalem, Moham-
medan mosques were erected on the
site. The sacredness with which the
Moslems look upon the great rock is
indicated by their tradition that Mo-
manned decreed that "a prayer there
is worth a thousand elsewhere"
One of the most important Of the
purely Christian shrines in Jerusalem
is the Church of the Holy Sepulcher,
which is a restoration of church Of
the same name erected by Constantine
the Great, first Christian emperor Of
Rome. This church is supposed to
be erected over the sepulcher in which
the body of Jesus was laid after it
was taken from the cross. While his
torians are not entirely satisfied that
the sepulcher inclosed in the church
is the true burial place. of Jesus, &C
ceptance of the tradition has made 1t
one Of the most sacred of sacred
spots to the thousands of Christian
pilgrims who flock to the Holy City
annually

communities in Palestine, or the rights
and political status enjoyed by Jews

Even in the latter years of Turkish
rule, the Zion movement led thou
sands of Jews to Palestine. These
were virile people of the younger gen.
eratiOns, not the aged and decrepit
Jews who in the early part of the past
century journeyed to the Holy Land
to end their days there and were
maintained in idleness in the mean
time by pensions from Jews in other
lands. There are a score of such

water supply that flows through
iron pipes and brings in its train taps
and valves and other adjuncts of mod
ern plumbing is not the only striking
physical improvement which has come
| to Jerusalem as a result Of the war
Before the great conflict the only rail-
road entering Jerusalem was a mar
row gauge line from the port of Jaf-
ia; and use Of that route by travel
ers involved a none too pleasant trip
to Jaffa on a cOasting steamer. In
the conquest of Palestine the British
forces constructed a new railway
roughly parallel with the Mediterra-
mean coast, and travellers may now
make the journey to Jerusalem from
the Suez canal entirely by rail in
comfortable equipment in twelve
hours or less.
The railroads do not enter the wall
ed city but come to an end at a sta
ton an the plains to the southwest.
The first view of the city for one who
travels by rail, therefore, will be the
newer Jerusalem that has sprung up
outside the walls-a city of religious
and social institutions, for the most
part, erected by orders and societies
Of Christians and Jews from all
climes. Many of these buildings lie
to the west of the old city and are
visible from the station. Later, the
traveller will learn, there are many
more buildings to the north and to
the northeast toward the Mount Of
Olives, and a fewer number to the
south and southeast.
Though Jerusalem is surrounded by
relatively modern buildings, and
though the war has brought about
some striking changes in it's physical
equipment, the American who NAV be
planning a trip to this shrine of his
faith need not fear that he will find
modern city which has lost the
charm and interest of age. Once in
the older parts of the city he will find
what he can well believe were the
streets along which Jesus and his dis
ciples passed nearly two thousand
years ago. Here narrow ways faced
by ancient stone dwellings wind with
many turns, passing now and then
through or under buildings by way
of dark, ill-smelling tunnels. Camels
and donkeys with heavy loads pass, pi-
loted by shouting drivers.
The crowds in the streets present
