ARE PAID
A STARVING WAGE
But Few Ministers Come With
in Scope of Dreaded Income
Tax; Relief In Sight.

For every minister who paid an in
come tax last year there were 90
whose churches failed to pay them
enough to bring them within the scope
of this form of taxation, according to
a statement issued yesterday by DR..
William Hiram Foulkes, vice chairman
OF the executive committee @R the In.
terchurch World Movement. The In
terchurch survey of ministerial sal
aries and relief shows that only three
states exceed New York In the sal
aries paid to ministers, and In this
state the average liz $1,10O, exactly
$50 less than the amount fixed BY
government economists rs the mini
mum amount on which q family can be
decently maintained.
Plans for increases, based on ! min
imum salary, have been developed In
several Of the 80 denominations which.
have united In a program Of cO-opera-
ton under the name of the Inter
church World Movement. The aggre-
gate budget Of the cooperating
churches shows that of the $3.50, TIL, 672
which is to be sought during the week
beginning April 25 there is an item Of
$~20,b10,299 for ministerial salaries and
support.
1.-THE Interchurch World Movement
was wisely led at the beginning Of its
labors," said DR.. Foulkes, ITO give
large and sympathetic recognition to
the present critical situation Of the
gospel ministry with reference TO mad
equate support. In connection with
the proposed survey of conditions at
home and abroad 1t was early deter
mined to make an equally thorough re-
view of the actual conditions confront,
ing the gospel ministry.
'Inasmuch as the ~Interchurch World
Mo1 ament did not undertake to adj
minister funds or to deal directly with
the problems arising out OF such al
ministration 1t was wisely decided I
place their cause upon the same high
level upon which the other causes wer,
being considered, namely that of z
careful and thorOugh-going survey Of
the facts"
Such a survey shows that In tn
Protestant Episcopal church, which
maintains d higher salary than d.
other denominations, fewer than n
half Of its clergy receive AZ murf
as 81 500 a year. In the Congregation
al churches only one In five exceed

pal church (North) the percentage r.
somewhat smaller while the churches
Of the Northern Baptist convention pay
more than $500 q year to only eighl
per cent of their clergy.
To this inadequate salary standard
may be ascribed the shortage Of min.
listers, which IS so great that M de-
nomination reports that 1t has 9,8e0

In 1914, and a third laments that be-
cause of insufficient salaries young
men are deferred from entering the
ministry and 1t has 1000 vacant pull

LAS a result of these surveys, com

adds, ut Is firmly believed by the Of
ficers Of the Interchurch World Move

BY MARY f. VTrOU.

Provision is being made by the
democratic party for the entertain

Will attend the national convention
TO be held at San Francisco in June.
Indiana will provide a special train
for the delegates from this state.
II - expected that there will be at
least several women among the
Hoosior representatives. The special
train will leave Indianapolis and
will arrive at San Francisco In time
for the OJenlng OF the convention

That both great parties are court
ing the influence If not the vote OF
the women is indicated by the great
number OF women workers that
candidates have enlisted as their
POLITICAL agents. Just the extent OF
the work accomplished by the wom-
en- politicians can not at present be
estimated for their work in the
present campaign has only just be-
gun and will not be completed un-

Two Speakers Here.
South Bend has been introduced
to two women suffrage workers who
are also nationally known for their
political accomplishments One of
those women is Mrs. George Bass.
who spoke in South Bend early last
winter under the auspices Of the
former Franchise league. Mrs. Bass
&C. and her UplI
founded arguments in behalf of her
party won for her cause a very def
mite support among the women OF
the city. The last woman speaker,
Miss Harriet Vittum, who visited
the city in the interests Of the Wood
campaign. undoubtedly won a con-
siderable following through her ap-
peals for constructive political in
terest among the women OF the ma
tion.

will not lose interest in politics as
soon as they acquire the ballot. be-
cause the acquisition of the fran
chise only denotes the commence
ment of a very definite course Of
procedure on the part Of the future
legislaturers.
That local women in general are
enthusiastically interested in pOli-
tics has been manifested by their
attendance in such large numbers
at the several political speeches
that have been made in the city by
various candidates or their workers,
