ALUMNI WILL GIVE
DANCE FOR GRADUATES

The Alumni Association of the
local high school, breaking all prece-
dence established in former years,
will hold the dance for the 1921
graduating class on the night pre-
ceding graduation instead of on the
night of graduation as has always
been the custom. Therefore the
graduating class will be the guests
of the alumni association this COM
ing Thursday night in the high
school auditorium. In every way
the change, brought about by the
president of the alumni, Ezra Kar-
kus, seems to be for the best as the
dance for the graduates should be
one of the most brilliant events of
each season in the high school and
this, heretofore, has been impossible.
This year, however, the dance will
be unquestionably the most brilliant
dance held in the high school during
the past season and it will be an
eventful and suitable celebration for
the graduates of which the alumni
is ever proud, besides marking a
suitable welcome into the %associa-
tons ever widening circles.
The committee appointed by the
president will have full sway in
every NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., refresh
ments and music. all Of which have
been attended to with marked cele-
rity. Unhindered by the chairs
which have always been in the way
at previous similar dances the dec
Grafton committee will make the
large auditorium a bright and pretty
spot while the r~efreshment commit
tee will provide refreshments, sure
to satisfy all who attend.
AS for music. Nat Kessler's five
piece orchestra, which scored such a
remarkable success at the Christmas
dance of the association, will again
reign supreme on the stage of the
high school auditorium. Everyone
admits that music is the most i'm
portant feature of any dance and
Nat Kessler's Novelty Five, which
has just returned from an extensive
and successful season on the coast,
has a fine reputation for dance
music. Their appearance on Thurs
day night will assure the dances
success.
Tickets are out and may be pro-
cured from the president, Ezra
Karkus, or from James Silver at the
high school at any time.

A PLAN FOR RELIEVING TAXATION
DIFFICULTIES

Suggested by Daniel de Wolf Viewer OF the
New York Bar
PREMISES: ~ The Government must continue to
receive revenue on the present scale or higher
(2) The present tax system is widely condemned as
hamperng industry and progress
~ Sale Of bond issue is probably in. racticabe.
RELIEF SUGGESTED: Legislation providing
for refundins to each taxpayer, in the form Of
u. S. Twenty-ycar four per cent bonds, to he
Issued for that purpose one-half the amount
paid as income, war and excess profit taxes for
the years 1920 1923 inclusive.
RESULTS: u) The Government would receive 10
cash tho full amount Of the tax levied
~ The tax payer would in effect have his taxes cut
in half. ms the bonds received would constitute q
liquid asset
a. The burden of war costs would be spread ov0
longer period.
