incidentally, has few friends and
more enemies" These are:
First, an issue of bonds up to
the sum required; second, the use
of interest payments on the eleven
billion dollar foreign debt to our
government; and third, a special
tax levy. for which there have been
two suggestions, a sales tax and L
tax on light wines and beer"
Thus far, most of the editorial
discussion has been upon the sec

bate was becoming exceedingly
lively when the president voiced his
disapproval of the scheme in such
manner as to make its adoption un-
likely. If, as the Chicago News

The Mayor discussed modern banditry.
Of which his administration has had
