FEDERATED CHURCHES
WILL BOOST GOODWILL
OF NATIONS OF EARTH

Departments of work were specified
by the commission on international
justice and goodwill of the Federated
Council of the Churches of Christ in
America at its sessions in New York
last week.
delegated by the Five Years meeting
of Friends to represent the Friends
church at the commission conference,
returned from the meetings in New
York Monday. He said that the work
of the commission for the present will
cover four fields:
One committee from the commits
sion TO formulate a statement of what
should be the field Of the churches
in America; a committee to deal with
the question of relationship between
this country and the Orient; a COM
mittee to determine what should be
the relation of the churches with
Mexico and Latin America, and to
promote the proper relationships with
those countries, and a committee to
consider the question of all reliefs.
Show Brotherly Interest
Under this head would be the es-
tablishing of a commission TO provide
means by which suffering countries,
such as China and Armenia, could re-
ceive organized assistance. Prof.
Hole said that the reason for these
activities by the council of churches
was to show evidence of brotherly in
terest in the world.
Another matter which received con-
sideration by the commission of jus
tice and goodwill was the bill draf
ten by ex-president Taft, and present
ed to the senate, providing for the
protection of aliens. The chief fea-
ture of this bill is the provision for
the United States to deal directly
with any problems which may arise
in any states of the Union because
of aliens. 1t is now the custom, ac-
cording to advices, for each state to
deal with such matters.

last meeting. The matter will be pre-
scented again to council at its next
regular session.

South Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets, from South A north to the

the resolution. All previous actions
by the board were rescinded.
The board confirmed the resolution
for the improvement of the alley first
east of South Eighth street from South
H to J streets. Bids will be adver-
tised for soon.
Primary assessment role for the i'm
provement of the alley between West
Kinsey and West Pearl streets, from

wayne COUNTY TAX
HEARING IS SET FOR
JULY Y BY BOARD
CBy Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, July 11.-Equaliza-
ton of tax assessments among the
various counties of Indiana will be be-
gun by the state tax board on July
20. according to an announcement
made today by the board.
Various dates were set by the board
for public hearings on the modifica-
ton of assessments in each county,
such hearings being to determine the
rate of addition to or reduction from
the assessed valuation of property.

equal, either as to local units, or as
to classes of property, and are not in
harmony with assessments in other
counties.
The date for the hearing in Wayne
county at which local officers or tax
payers may appear, was set for
July %.

But after the armstice, the situation remained as
bad. Not only in the poorer sections of the city,

In the humber districts, citizens were not able
to pay half the cost of improvement and in the
more affuent, they naturally unwilling to meet

Prior to 1914, the Commissioners point out, the
costs of surfacing repairing came out of appro-
priations secured equally through taxes and funds
voted by Congress. Now, with the District putting
up 90 per cent and the nation 40 for the Capitals
support the taxpayers asked to contribute hall
towards paving costs after the regular levies arc
supplied.
The legislators always represented as most
socitous of the welfare of "the nations city" Here

practical way-and at the same time assure better

means amend the Borland act in drastic fashion, or

Why is it that legislatures will
work backward and never seem to
work for anything progressive' &.
Cases with us are carried over
for many months. Such a thing
could not happen in Great Britain.
where a case would be put through
in from six weeks to two months
at the longest. 1t is the same in
other foreign countries.
Il was once trying a case where
in the defendants chair sat a
good-looking, well-dressed man,
while in the prosecutors chair was
shabby looking man who had APP
parently been sleeping in the straw
for months. l couldn't understand
it. The two looked as if they
should have changed places. When
l learned the facts l found that the
unfortunate prosecutor had been in
Jail for 106 days, held as witness,
while the other man, presumably
guilty. had been walking the
streets enjoying his freedom on
bail.
Our bail cases are left for APP
parently good reasons until others
have been tried, but If man who
must appear as a witness cannot
he must go to the house of deten-
ton. An innocent man goes to
Jail and the guilty one is free. 1t
is a mighty Al bad thing FOR our
country.
What does foreigner think
who comes here for freedom only
to be knocked down some dark
night, perhaps, and robbed of the
little money he has? Then he goes
to jail because he cannot offer Sc
curity that he will appear to prose-
cute the case, and the thief, for a
time, goes free. That is not going
to make a good American of him.
Delay always works for the benefit
of the criminal.
Il believe women should visit
the courts and understand what is
being done there and that they
should be willing to serve on juries.
Then they will understand condi-
tions better. Much political infiu-
ence is often brought to bear on
men. Women will be less subject
to that.
There was a recent discussion
about women judges not presiding
on cases where unpleasant sex
questions were brought up" she
said. My reply to. that was that
when possible a young girl was
going to testify before a large
body of men. it would be very rep
rehensible for a woman Judge to
run around the corner so that she
would not know what was going
on: I believe women Jurors should
hear all the testimony. 1t is not
until men and women together con-
slider these questions that worthy
solutions will be found"

Shouts and Darkness.

~ bhe bui'oT. lne washington Herald:
l have been a constant reader of
this column of your paper for some
time and am sure that some good
comes of it. ] am very anxious OF
registering two complaints that can
possibly be greatly remedied by a
little airing.
The first of these is about the
terrible annoyance of newsboys in
the early morning hours of Sunday
who haul small carts, wagons and
all descriptions of various wheeled
contraptions along the various
neighborhood streets yelling the
names OF all the newspapers that
they have for sale (and each one
seems to sell all four papers pub
ished in this city at leasD.
On my street they start in as
early as 6 a. M, and this continues
IKE a parade, one after another.
until almost noon. Each successive
newsboy seems to try to yell louder
than the preceding one and for
anyone trying to get a little late
steep TINS one morning of the week
When all should be as quiet as pos
sible, is certainly out of luck.
Now for my second kick" How
many of your readers have had &C.
caslon to pay a visit to Garfield
Hospital after dark to call on some
sick friend or relative? Without
doubt this is the darkest spot any
where in this city and should
never be tolerated for more than
one night. There are two ways of
entering and after using both /
am almost convinced that zone is
darker than the other" but which
one would be hard to decide. 1t is
a case of being in great danger of
becoming an accident patient there
for anyone who tries TO get to the
entrance without the aid of a
pocket flashlight. This is a condi-
ton that should be remedied by the
hospital officials themselves, and il
they will not do il then the city
authorities should compel them to
do so. for it is certainly very much
of public place, even though on
private property.

districts are the sufferers. We come
INTO contact with the situation in
about $40 cities and towns. and
have found that people for some I'M
explained reason want to turn their
backs on farms and farming and the
cattle ranch.
Figure out on a sheet OF paper
what this gravitation to the big
centers has been in twenty wears
and then reckon what IL will mean il
it continues at the present rate for
twenty years more. You will have
before you problem that is. to saw
the least alarming. ] am not sure
but that il is a problem more serf-
Gus to the United States than the
prospect of war or peace, because IL
We are to become non-producing
nation, then we are indeed to be a
superficial country figuring in the
worlds affairs as a mass of helpless
people.
Il have knowledge of the slums
and congested quarters where the
poor of America live and that is all
l need to show me what is going on.
The slums and poorer quarters are
being overrun by new corners: they
are becoming more and more crowd
ed. We know what immigration
brings to us. so the residue is from
our own back country.
Where it is our purpose to adj
vance human beings and eventual
ly eradicate the so-called slums,
here is a situation where we are
being overwhelmed by Nthe new
conner faster than We can get the
old slum settler out OF his ugly
surroundings
IF the big cities of America did
not gain one more person in popula-
tion for the next ten years the re-
public would be better of for il.
There must be some way to show
the youth of the nation that the
greatest and foremost industry we
have is agriculture. and that IL is
indeed the bulwark of our life and
security. They rather think now
that there is nothing to life but lux
