Many Churches Will Giue
WAY to Chautauqua Services

A number Of Richmond churches
will have no morning nor evening ser
vices during chautauqua, and several
will hold only morning services, 1t
was learned Monday. Pastors Of a
few of the local churches will be on
their vacation during the chautauqua
period.
The Revs. Shelby c. Lee and L. E..
Murray will be on their vacations and
no services are likely to be held in
the First Baptist or First Christian
churches Both morning and evening
services will be suspended at the First
M. E. At the Grace NJ. e. church the
Sunday school and morning church
services will be held but no evening
service.
The Rev. Frank A. Dressed, pastor
of the First English Lutheran church,
is now on his vacation and it is I'M
likely that full church services will be
held. AS the St. Pauls Lutheran
church is only holding morning SER
vices during the month of August, this
service will be continued.
No services will be held at the Trim
ity Lutheran church on Sunday, Aug.
%, but it was thought by the pastor
Monday that at least a morning ser
vice would be held on the following
Sunday.

COUNTIES REhFfIDId
. HORIZONTAL RAISES
AS WISEST POLICY

Sixteen county boards of review
have affirmed the 1919 horizontal in
creases in their reassessments of
property under the TuthIl-Kip cura-
tive tax law.
The counties which have certified
to the state board the exact equaliza-
ton figures made last year are st.
Joseph, Vanderburg, Hendricks, AL
len, Wayne, Starke. Decatur, Owen,
Pula ski, Randolph. Steuben and
Wells.
The state board has been informed
that Pike, Spencer and Henry coun-
ties have legalized the horizontal in
creases without change, but the Off
cial certification has not reached the
office of the state board
The only counties that have refused
to legalize horizontal increases and
have ordered them wiped off the du-
plicate are Johnson, Shelby and
Boone. In Boone county some Of the
1919 horizontals were unchanged, but
some reductions were made in person.
al property increases. Marion county
also has made some reductions from
the horizontal increases on real es-
tate and improvements.
The granting of this optional power
to the counties was not feared by
leaders in the legislature who foresaw
that the sensible thing for the coun-
ties to do would be to legalize the 1919
action of the state board. Otherwise
as one state official put it, they would
merely "be chasing the devil around
q stump"
Same Result in End
By this he meant that the elimina
ton Of the assessment increases will
in nowiSe reduce the amount of taxes
the citizens of the particular county
will have to pay in the end.
- He pointed out that in case the as
Sessments go down one of three things
must happen to raise revenue suffi-
cient to operate the local government
Either the state board must apply
a countrywide horizontal increase in
assessments to bring the duplicate OF
the county up to the figures realized
by the 1918 intracounty horizontals
or the levies must be increased SC
that they will yield the same amount
of revenue on lower assessments.
Failing to do either of these things
the problem is merely put off one
year. AS the expenditures of the
county have been based on levies
computed on the 1919 assessments
plus the increases, il is obvious that
a reduction of assessments will result
in a treasury deficit
The money must be borrowed by
the county at 7 per cent interest
When the levies are fixed this year
for taxes to be paid next year the
temporary loans so made must be
taken into consideration and the lew
increased SO that funds will be avail
able not only to pay off the debt, but
the interest

Prohibition Spells
Demand For Free Beds
By the Wayfarers
(Ry Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Aug 9.-Demand for
private rooms, with sunshine and hot
and cold running water, has supplant-
ed that for a dime flop" among way
faring working men since the country
went dry, according to observations Of
the Salvation army.
Lieutenant Colonel Emil Marcussen,
head of the Industrial department for
the army for the states west of the
Mississippi, said today:
THE day of the dormitory, or more
accurately, the flop house has passed.
The kind of men who used to conc
to us seeking beds, or glad to get them
for a dime, now ask for private rooms.
Since prohibition became effective, |
have closed several of our working
mems hotels.
There is a real need for good, mod
ern hotels for men at reasonable
prices, and those which we have are
run along such lines. Our Working
Mems Palace in Chicago has 81 beds
Three wears ago, we would have found
ten or twelve men in the Palace with
bank accounts. Last month there were
312 men in that hotel who carried
bank books.
In the old days, on cleaning out the
dormitories where the translents slept,
we would find many empty bottles on
the floor. Now it is very seldom that
a bottle shows up. The story is the
same in every city.
AS for the industrial homes, they
used TO contain many young men who
ceased to be producers, and who had
to be made over into good citizens and
wage earners. Today there is hardly
an able-bodied man in any Industrial
home in the United States"
