MADAME LOUISE HOMER
TO APPEAR HERE DEC. 6
Insists Fundamentals Of Sing
ing Should Be Acquired
Before Going Abroad.

Madame Louise Homer. the great
American contralto. who Is to ap-
pear here December 6, does not be-
long to tho Chauvinistic group OF
American musicians who constantly
dccry the idea that anything gouu
can come of stud:- abroad She her
self studied abroad, and there she
got much OF her fundamental rou-
tine in OPERA which helped /" place
her SO quickly in the first rank az
her profession. But she does insist
that the Fundamentals of the ART
Of singing should be got in this
country before the venture abroad
is made.
Discussing this always interesting
topic recently she said that stuuy
abroad, while not so absolutely nee
. cssary as II had been twenty-five
years ago. is still very desirable
MY idea is" she said. that the best
plan for young singer to defer go
ing abroad until she has had several
seasons OF actual work IN this coun-
Try. BY that time She will know, or
ought 10 know, whether il is worm
while to spend so much time and
money. and /, ii is worth while, she
VIII know just what She wants ana
how best she can get it,
SO far as the mechanics Of sing
ing ar" concerned. / should never
send girl abroad until her voice
was finally placed. until she had q
sound musical education and was old
enough To look out for herself She
should have plenty OF money, too
Tor studying singing is not like
studying painting, and cannot ne
carried on such an economical bas,,
y young singer must have the hes,
OF food and plenty of il. That Is
th" very first requisite. You can
not sing having an undcrnourishcd
BODY. no matter how you may be
aoic 1" paint or write poetry under
such conditions"
The concert will take place at the
CRY Auditorium. and seats arc now

IOWA'S PER CAPITA TAX
TOTALS S40.12
School Levy Hits Average Citizer
Hardest.

n
If you are an average citizen, from
tax paying standpoint, you will
contribute S40.12 to the state this
year, according to r. E. Johnson, sec
rotary of the executive council, who
has Just figured out the per capita
tax in Iowa.
This sum includes state, county,
municipal and school taxes, but does
not take into account any special
levies, such as paving, sewers, etc.
The most interesting feature of the
table prepared by Secretary john
son is the percentage of tax for
state and local purposes. The state
tax, about which the average citi-.
zen shows so much concern amounts
to less than per cent of his
total taxes, while the school taxes,
spent by a board whose membership he
usually refuses to bother voting for
on school election day, amount to
45 per cent of the total taxes. Here
is the table as figured out by the
secretary of the executive council:
Distribution Amount cent. capita
