Similar conditions have only been

The lessons Of the past year, both in

MRS. LAURA j. WHARTON

1t was on November 25th, 1922, that
the white winged messenger came and
bore the beautiful spirit Of our much
loved sister, Mrs. Laura j. Wharton,
to the beautiful home beyond.
Not only will she be missed in the
homes OF her children, but she will be
greatly missed in the church for she
was always ready and willing to do
anything for the cause of Christ.
Therefore, we, the members of the
Missionary Society Of the Waterloo
Baptist church, do offer the following
resolutions:
First, That our Missionary Society
has sustained the loss of the compan-
ionship, the sympathy and the person
al help Of O. kind and loving friend
a woman Of noble heart.
Second, That we humbly bow to His
will, and while we keenly feel our loss
that we rejoice with her, because she
is with the Master whom she loved so
well and served so faithfully.
Third, That we extend to her devot-
cd children and grandchildren our
deepest sympathy and pray that they
may all be reunited in that heavenly
home where the family circle will
nevermore be broken.
Fourth, That a copy Of these reso
lutons be sent to the family, the Bap-
tist Courier and the county papers.

Shorter said that he had been told
that Jeffords had made the statement

AS JefTords sat in the chair, the
Rev. J. A. Anderson, penitentiary
chaplain, who had previously seen the
condemned man in the death cell,

few words. Jeffords at first said
he had nothing to say, but did leave a

said. He repeated the Twcnty-third

BEMOANS LOSS OF
ENTENTE CORDIALE
Old Relations of Tenant and
Landlord Set Back 20 Years,
Says Stewart Browne.

The "entente cordiale" that used to
exist between landlord and tenant has
been set back twenty years by the rent
laws, according to Stewart Browne,
president of the United Real Estate
Owners Association. Mr.. Browne
issued yesterday the following "stock
taking" of the accomplishments of the
committee, the Legislature and the
three years: a-
I'VE admit that the rent laws have
prevented the eviction, of lawabiding
and also OF Bolshevik tenants willing
to pay a reasonable rent and also of
tenants unwilling to pay picayune
rent.
1--WE admit that some landlords have
grossly excessive net incomes on the
assessed valuation of their properties,
while others have a pitiful return and
some have even none at all.
1--WE have for years claimed that the
good will of tenants was the value OF
the owners property, but the rent laws
have changed these relations until to-
day they are two armies intrenched
In battle array. 1t will take twenty
Years to undo the harm that the rent
laws have done in the relations be-
tween landlord and tenant The old
pleasant relations may never be re-
established.

tice to tenants. But the Lockwood

WARNS AGAINST Big
1928 CITY BUDGET
Real Estate Board Predicts
Tax Rate Will Be About
2.72; Pruning Urged. -

The cost of government for each in
dividual In New York city is more than
S107, according to the Real Estate Board
of New York. On the same basis q
family of five In making it's yearly
budget is handicapped by an average
tax of $3.50 which must be met before
other disbursements are considered. The
Real Estate Board In statement issued
yesterday says the 1928 city budget will
not be less than that of 1922 as it will
be between $3.50. 0.000,0 900 and $3.50. .000.-
900. Attention OF the taxpayers is again
called to the marked growth in the
social welfare items in the city budget
which. according to the Board, has
trebled in amount in six years. The
boards statement follows:
"A conference Of various civic organi-
zations was held recently and arrange
ments were made for an examination.
line by line. of the proposed city ex-
penditures for the coming year.
1.-The budget will not be less than the
budget of 1922. 1t will be between
$3.50 100000 and $360.000,000. The tax
levy for 1921 and 1922 was danger
ously near the constitutional limit of
2 per cent. for city purposes and had 1t
not been for the Comptroller's sagacity-
the levy of 1922, az far az the Boroughs
of Bronx and Richmond were concerned.
would have been beyond the constitu-
tional limit. The increase in the city
assessed valuations will not exceed $780,

probably be about 2.72.
"At q conference recently held Sena-
tor Davenport Chairman of the Com
mittee on Taxation of the Senate.
startled his hearers by showing that the
tax now paid by each individual In the
State averages $107. The cost of Gov
ernment to the individual in Greater
New York is more than this. On
the same basis. a family or five, in
making up its annual budget. is handi-
capped at the start by an average tax
of at least $3.50. their part of which
must be paid before any other expenses
can be considered.
1T is proposed this year to give
the widest publicity to the budget so
that every property owner or prospective
home owner may know exactly what he
is paying for city administration. In
this work experience shows that there
will be the heartiest cooperation from
the Board of Estimate.
1.-The Real Estate Board OF New York
again calls attention to the tremendous
growth in the social welfare items In
the city budget, which have trebled In
amount in six years. As the constitu-
ional limit of taxation for city purposes
Is reached some other method OF taxa

by social welfare appropriations VIII
