My Rights

l do not lie awake O nights
until the clammy dawn, in terror
lest my sacred rights should be
infringer upon. My neighbors
are a pleasant lot, their conduct
always good, and no ones
slugged and no cne's shot in all
our neighborhood. Each one
assumes the other gents are fair
and decent scouts, and so no one
his rights laments, or for re-
prisals shouts. Year after year
we go our way, and never have
a row; and lend Smith bale
of hay, and he lends me his COW.
And | could change this atmos-
phere of peace and its delights.
and make discordant things ap-
pear, if jealous of my rights.
For Johnson's hens at times ar
rive and scratch up all my
greens but better have our con-
cord thrive than raise a crop of
greens. And Bildad's dog sits
by my gate and bays the moon
awhile; but better lie awake till
late than miss the Bildad smile.
And Hawkins plays an alto horn
that jars things in my fiat; but
he's all right, and l would scorn
to punch his head for that. And
when l sing Sweet Belle Ma
hone," as l am prone to do, no
rocks or bricks at me are
thrown the parlor window
through. The others faults we
all forget, and talk of rights"
with tact, and no ones ever Of
fered yet to read the riot act.

New York Mayor
Wants Home Rule
For Metropolis
Hylan Says Only Way to Cut
Expenses Is for Legislation
To Stop Mandatory
Acts"

New York, Aug. 10-Counsel for
the legislative committee investigat-
ing the city administration regaled
Mayor Hylan today with figures
showing heavy municipal debts and
tax burdens and then inquired il he
knew OF any means of relief. The
mayor said he knew of but one way
to cut down the taxes and that was
for the state legislature to cease
passing mandatory legislation and
to remove the $22,000,000 in direct
taxes which it already had imposed
on the city. ,
The mayor was told that municipal
taxes had increased from $35.92 per
capita in 1917 to 5000 this year, that
the city was far beyond its constitu-
tional debt limit and 100000 past
the tax limitation fixed by the state
constitution at per cent OF the as
sessed valuation. Budget appropria-
tions had grown from $23O,OOO,O0O
when he took office in 1918 to $3l3,-
100000 this year and the municipal
pay roll, excluding school teachers
salaries, increased $30,0O0,000 during
the same period.
Mayor Hylan declared he was op-
posed to cutting the salaries of city
employees and office holders, though
he realized big corporations were
doing it and the cost of living had
dropped, The main aim of his ad-

Bank Failures
In Seven Years
State Guaranty Fund Pays
Out $2,A2,274 Since 1914
As Result of ''Walling.
ford" Transactions.

Lincoln, Aug. l0.-(Special. j.
Rufus Wallingiord transactions ot
certain state bankers in Nebraska
since 1914 has forced directors OF
The state guaranty fund to pay out
S2,442,274 in cash to keep deposit
tors in the clear, according to fig
ures compiled today from books in
the office of J. Z. Hart, secretary
OF the department OF trade and
commerce. Twenty-three state banks
have failed since 1914.
The theory under which the guar
anty fund has been operated is to
ascertain as quickly as possible the
losses and doubtful paper in failed
bank and then draw a draft against
the fund for the full amount in or
der to get the banks customers in
the clear. Then, the long and du-
bious task of collecting on doubtful
paper begins.
These figures do not represent
total losses to the fund as often a
large percentage of the doubtful
instance when the First tSate Saw
ings bank at Superior was closed in
1914 a draft of $54,526 was made
against the fund covering all doubt
full and bad paper. As years rolled
by money was collected on the
doubtful paper and 65 per cent OF
the original draft has been returned
to the guaranty fund. Following is

ministration was TO reduce taxes, he
said.
He was then told that much of
the $22,000,000 tax imposed by the
legislature covered increase i'll school
teachers salaries which the law
makers authorized. The mayor said
he favored the increases and that
the city would have given them to
the teachers. His opposition. he eX-
planned. was to all mandatory
legislation" He wanted home
rule" for New York City. Elon r.
Brown, committee counsel, conS
tended that education was state
function, and legislation affecting the
schools was not mandatory.
Asked for suggestions for any
economy that would reduce tax
burdens, Mayor Hylan proposed
amending the laws OF 1916 to give
New York the same home rule
privileges accorded smaller NUM-
cipalities. Then there would be
an opportunity to cooperate and
construct city departments, he said.
But if we are going to be gov
erned by mandate from Albany, we
wont get anywhere" he added.
