w. C.. T. u. Homes for
Women and Children

In survey of its philanthropic
work just made, the National Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union is
devoting more than one hundred piec-
es of property in the United States
to the comfort of women and chill
dren in an effort to aid in community
welfare, according to a survey of its
philanthropic work just completed.
The survey shows that fourteen
states maintain homes for girls. Some
of these are schools while several are
voluntary rescue homes. There are
community buildings in a number of
states and about fifty Americanization
centers over the country, the best
known of these being the one in
Bridgeport, Conn.
At San Diego, Cal, the w. C. T.
U. maintains a home center for sol
diers, sailors and marines. There is
Francis E. Willard home for girls
in Los Angeles and at Highland Park,
home for women and children. Oak
land, Cal, also has home for girls.
Michigan with its two homes for girls
is a close second to California twhile
Iowa, New Mexico, Alabama, Indiana
and Illinois also lead in this type of
welfare work.
Four states have old ladies' homes
and seven states maintain summer
rest cottages. Many of the state>and
local union headquarters also serve
their communities as Americanization,
child welfare or social centers.
'Some of this property has been
left to the w. c.. T. U. through lega-
cies but the larger part has been ac-
quired by purchase made possible
through gifts" said Miss Anna A.
Gordon, world and national president
of the organization.
ut has been our object to use our
funds in establishing permanent use
full memorials for daily helpfulness to
our iseighbors that We might carry out
the wish expressed in the words of
eur great leader, Frances E. Willard,
when she said, Tt is not enough that
women should be the home-makers,
but they must make the world itself
larger home'"

Chief Engineer for La
f-.yette Motors.

Lafayette automobile was generally
admitted to be far in advance of the
general trend of the industry in the
matter of its engineering and metal
lurgical principles.

new TAX BILL
TO BE DELAYED
AT Least Two Weeks VIII
be Given to Study of the
Taxation Problem.
MANY DIFFICULTIES
by United Press)

Madison, Wis. The joint finance
committee of the legislature is now
faced with the task of drawing a new
tax bill that will be a composite of
the Dahl and Severson bills, with
provisions inclusive enough to COM
mand the united support of admins
tration members of both the senate
and assembly. At present, the two
tax measures before the legislature
are admittedly dying.
The change that caused the Dahl
and Severson measures to be put in
the background, temporarily at least,
is the stand taken by Governor Blaine
who will ask the finance committee
to bring in new bill, standing bet
ter chance and passage. Opposition
of senator's to repeal of the personal
property Offset, has just about put
an end to the general income tax pro-
posal sponsored by Speaker Dahl. OPP
position of Socialists and certain SEN
ators to the Severson bill, has end
ed hope for that measure.
In order to insure passage of a tax
bill of some sort, Governor Blaine is
proposing to the finance committee
that it prepare bill of its own.
Huber Sees Big Job.
Senator Henry Huber, its chairman,
announced today that his committee
was confronted with the whole tax
problem now, in addition to it's other
duties.
The new proposal that comes be-
fore the legislature will contain the
personal property Offset. 1t is believ-
ed that the committee will defer to
the wishes of Governor Blaine and
investigate the proposed repeal of the
Offset during the next two weeks, be-
fore. acting on it.
Rates of the present bill will be
completely revised in order to re-
district the burden. There is some
talk of bill which will not material
ly change the tax situation, but serve
to make minor alterations without
seriously affecting any class of per-
sons in the state.
The finance committee expects to
be able to commence consideration of
the tax problem by the first week in
April. Before that time Governor
Blaine will make known his views so
that the committee will have a tang
ible to work on when it commences
to draft new measure.
