COUNTY TREASURER
CARR'S GOOD WORK

Three hundred thousand taxpayers
out of the one million who pay taxes
in Cook county rush to the county
treasurers office and its 95 substa-
tions in the last week to avoid the
penalty of l per cent accruing after
the first day of May.
P J. Carr, the county treasurer,
stopped long enough while he was
marshaling the tremendous crowd
which thronged his office to say:
'"This is certainly a remarkable
thrOng and never in the history, | am
told, has there been SO many people
at one time in this office, to pay their
taxes. However, l am very happy to
say that not a single instance has been
during the entire week of anyone
losing any valuables in this office. OF
course, | have been aided in this by
the kind assistance of States AttOr-
ney Grove, the chief of police and
Sheriff Peters, who have, upon applica-
ton, assigned a special police guard
and deputy sheriffs so that this work
could be done in a very efficient man
ner. | have been hampered in my
duty somewhat in trying to bring or
der, as you see it, by thousands of
taxpayers who feel that they ought
to bring their complaints, on account
| of the high taxes, to me personally.
| Of course, you gentlemen of the press
| know that | am unable to give them
any relief, as the county treasurer is
| in no way responsible for the increase
| of these high taxes. However, | am
doing the best | can in relieving them
! by telling them that they may go to
! the Board of Review during this year
and probably get a fair reduction in
| their 1922 taxes, which are payable
next year / certainly am very much
| pleased that the immense thrOng OF
people which have gathered here are
being so efficiently handled. | feel
that this is largely due to the 50 sub
stations which | have located in Chi
cago and Cook county, where thou
sands of taxpayers have paid their
taxes instead of coming down here
This has been. | am happy to say
agreeably commented upon by hun
dreds of letters which | have received
during the week, as it not alone saves
them the carfare but keeps them from
the inconvenience of thronging into
these crowded Offices"
Jacob Lindheimer, the assistant
county treasurer, commented as fol
lows:

treasurers come and go, and have

TOO MANY YOUNG GIRLS BEFORE
POLICE COURTS

The Illinois Vigilance Association
in its report on Chicago police courts
just issued, says that the old time
hardened offender is so rare as to be
almost a curiosity, the report states.
Her place is being taken by the I'M
sophisticated young girl, fact that is
causing the keenest anxiety on the
part of welfare workers.
"Present-day offenders have an aver
age age of only 10 years. said DR..
Phillip Yarrow, superintendent of the
association Not through deliberate
choice do they begin, but often
through some depIorable accident re-
sulting from the unregulated and de-
structive amusements of the present
day.
Seventy per cent of these victims
the most pathetic figures in all his
tory-are strangers to Chicago and
come here from villages and smaller
towns. Their unfamiliarity with ur
ban conditions increases their danger
Dance halls, cabarets, pseudo coffee
shops and the rear rooms Of soft
drink parlors have produced a de
moralization that has permeated the
amusement life of the city with aban
don and moral recklessnes.
THAT the widespread laXity per
meating all grades of society is partly
due to failure to train children in the
homes and to instill in them the pro
tective element of a virile religious
faith is revealed by the fact tina
slightly over 50 per cent Of the girl
were victims of broken homes. Il
some instances they were orphans
In other instances one parent ha'
died, while in still others the fathe
and mother had separated. In al
cases they had been denied that ETH
cal reinforcement which only affeC
ton and careful training can provide.

The L. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reports that 80 per cent more build

Twenty-six cities reported trebling
or more than trebling the family hous-
ing in 1921 permits as compared with
1920. Chicago was among these cities.
According to the report, new homes

BUSINESS CONDITIONS ARE
IMPROVING.

George M. Reynolds, chairman of
the board of directors of the Con-
tinental and Commercial National
bank, who returned to Chicago after
a three months trip to the Pacific
coast, says that business conditions
in the central west are better than in
other regions because of the recent
improvement in the circumstances of
the farmer.
There is no doubt but there has
been a drastic reaction from depres-
sion here" said Mr.. Reynolds to a
Journal reporter. "The Improvement
in this section is more marked, | be-
lieve, than it is anywhere else. Ger
tainly the change is greater than in
the west, where the improvement has
been comparatively small.
This betterment of the industrial
situation should be largely attributed,
Mr. Reynolds continued, ito the
change in the farmers situation. MOI
only is the farmer getting better prices
for his product now, but his feeling
toward the rest of the industrial sys
tenn has changed greatly"
