UP AT GUMS POINT
IN FRONT OF HOME

Robert Cox, 1872 Railroad avenue,
Moline. was held up last evening

were about to walk away, Cox

grabbing his watch chain succeed
ed in rescuing the watch from the
robbers hand.
Cox, who was bound for home,
was about to step into his own
yard from the alley when two men,
both carrying large revolvers,
stopped him and went through the
usual procedure.
Cox describes one man as about
five feet nine incheA and the other
one about five feet four inches. The

MOLINE TO OPPOSE
RETURN TOFORMER
TAXATION SYSTEM

Mayor c. P. Skinner. together
with other municipal leaders, will
inaugurate a campaign to retain
the higher city tax granted as an
emergency by the legislature.
II the present legislature does
not change the law, or unless It
reenacts the higher tax feature.
Moline and other cities will 70
back to the old tax levy after this
year. Moline will receive about
$4,000 less revenue.
At Springfield on Feb. 2 and 3.
Illinois municipal leaders will meet
under auspices OF the Illinois Mu-
nicipal league. Mayor Skinner will
attend the meeting.
At present the maximum tax levy
permitted municipalities is Sl.3S on
every 500, and this is levied on
one-half valuation.
TheiOld law, to which system Mo-
line will return unless the present
legislature acts, permits q levy of
81 on every 500 on one-third val
uation.
The new law was in effect only
for the years 1919, 1920 and 1921.
1t is supposed that municipal lead
ers will contend that conditions
have not changed sufficiently to
warrant returning to the lower tax.
Other matters to be considered
by the convention are public utili-
ties and pensions for municipal
employees.

WHO'S BOSS STUNPS
OFFICIALS OF CITY:
UP TO ATTORNEYS

In an effort to find out just where
the city is at in the police and fire
commission problem Moline city
officials are going to apply to Ed
ward Brundage, attorney general
of Illinois.
The problem Of finding out
whether the city council or the
board Of police and fire commits
sioners is boss of the police and
fire department is the principal
question.
Members of the board declare
that since the council pays the bills
the council is boss, but rules for
both the police and firemen have
been made by the board, and that
Just about let's the council out.
The hottest conflict between the
TWO authorities was on the oues-
ton OF holidays for firemen. The
rule was one day in five before the
board took Office. The board
changed it one day in six. Then
1t was changed to one day in six
by the chairman of the council fire
committee.
Local attorneys seem to differ in
their opinions. City Attorney
James M. Johnson has been in the
hospital for several weeks and has
net given q formal opinion.
1t is expected that Mr.. johnson
will leave the hospital tomorrow as
ne has nearly recovered from an
attack OF appendicitis. However, 1t
is expected that his recovery will
not interfere with consulting the
attorney general.

Indifference
TO GOOD ROADS
Kiwanis Speaker Says Highways
No Longer LEGAL Project BIT
of Nation.

"This particular road isn't your
road, 1t isn't Henry county's road
in the larger measure 1t belongs TO
the state and to the United States.
It's not for the convenience Of any
particular locality. but . through
route for state and national high
ways" Henry Waterman of Gene
SEQ said yesterday in his discussion
Of good roads at the Moline Kiwa-
mis- ciuD luncheon.
In his discussion of Rock Island
county's attitude toward good roads
Mr.. Waterman told the guests Of
the Moline luncheon what they had
been telling each other. but he add
ed: Your clubs motto Is We
Build but apparently it means We
build everything but roads 1t is
crime for the city and county to
sit idle when the state is ready to
spend up to $4,000 a mile for
highway improvement. ITS an in
justice to the community and the
state. Rock Island is the only
county between Chicago and this
western terminal of route Z in
which there is not visible evidence
of actual construction. Fourteen
months ago the highway depart
ment designated this road, but in
that time your county has appar-
emily done nothing to start work.
There's something wrong in
your attitude about getting roads
It isn't that you don't want them
and talk about them"
The secretary of the Genese0
club, Rev. C. Porter Shirley, who
accompanied Mr.. Waterman, re-
called that he had come overland
to Geneseo from Dayton, Ohio
three years ago and that between
Joliet and Geneseo he had "lost
SO much Of his religion that he had
spent nearly three years trying te
regain it." The pastor suggested
that improvement of Illinois roads
would benefit the morals and re.
ligion of the state more than any.

about the time the war broke out

son rarely If ever gave any news
paper writer q private audience.
Very Few Interviews.
1t is probably no exaggeration
to say that Mr.. Wilson never spent
a total of more than six or seven
hours in private audiences with
correspondents in the eight years
he has been at the White house.
And it is also a fact that only one
or two correspondents ever saw
him more than three or four times
in the entire eight years. Both
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft sell
dom let a week 60 by without pri-
vate conference with at least one
or two correspondents or. writer's.
Mr.. Wilson never would have been
Sble to manage the business of
contact with the public at all were
it not for the shrewdness and un-
canny news instinct OF his private
secretary, Joseph P. Tumulty, who
probably will always be remember
ed as one Of the best friends the
newspaper men ever had.
Mr.. Harding may be counting en-
doing the same thing-namely,
talking ito the country indirectly
but both Mr.. Roosevelt and Nj.
Taft foundsit more effective to talk
directly to the press themselves.
Haughty to Press.
Much of the misunderstanding
about the policies of the Wilson ad-
ministration can be traced directly
to naughty or Indifferent attitude
toward the press and such defense
as was given the Wilson admins
tration by correspondents from
time to time was hardly ever dine
to any inspiration from the White
house but largely to the voluntary
effort and enterprise of writer's
both inside and outside Of Wash
hgton who either believed sincere
" in the cause they were defend
ing editorially irrespective Of the
persons or party involved >or who
believed they were discharging
their journalistic duty Of telling
the truth as they saw, it.
There may BE- change when
Mr.. Harding gets to Washington
but the verdict Of most Of the cof-
respondents thus far is that the
new president-elect is starting of
