MAIL TAX NOTICES
Pfeiffer's Department To Send Out
10000 Bills.

Two thousand tax notices. the first
of a total of 10000 which will be
sent to San Antonio taxpayers, rot'-
flying them Of the amount OF their
taxes which must be paid between
April l and May 81. were mailed out
by Tax Commissioner John T..
Pfeiffer Saturday. The remaining
$4,000 will go out within the next
ten days. This practice was inau-
gurated by Commissioner Preiffer
when he first took office and though
II costs the city about $4,000 annual
~. saves the taxpayers both time and
money and has proven popular.
These notices in addition to listing
the property assessed, show the
amount Of personal and real estate
taxes due and the division of the tax,
city and school. Improvement dis
trict taxes also are shown. Commits
sioner Pfeiffer requests that all those
who receive notices check up their
property as listed and il any discrep-
nncies occur, TO notify his office at
once. If notices are correct. Q. check
covering the amount due should be
mailed in Mt once.
Failure to receive a notice, Com
missioner Pfeiffer said, does not ex.
cmpt the taxpayer from appearing at
the Office and making his payments
personally. These notices are mailed
only to those whose addresses are on
file and in many instances there are
no addresses and in others they have
been changed since last year. so there
are many possibly who will not re-
ceive these notices. Unless such
notices are received by the middle Of
the month, he said. taxpayers will
know that theirs either have not been
mailed, or have gone astray.
In order TO facilitate the return of
receipt. Commissioner Pfeiffer sug-
costs that those mailing in checks en-
close stamped. addressed envelope
rs IL will REQUIRE several weeks for
his office to mail out receipts other
wise.
The city is not required TO mail out
these ADtices, Commissioner Pfeiffer
said, but he only inAueurated the
practice because ne believed IL would
facilitate payments and be real
benefit to the taxpayers.

tackling the tasks OF the presidency

ing who YEARLY babe goodbye TO the
national capital a month ago.
Rest Is Refreshing.
Refreshed and stimulated by abso-
lutte rest, the President goes back 10
his Job the end of the coming week,
prepared for the hardest kind of siege.
With Congress away, the nations ex-
ecutive will occupy the center of the
stage by himself for the first time in
many years. No longer will Con-
gress, the speeches and controversies,
compete for attention on the first
pages.
MIR. Harding will have a better
opportunity for detailed consideration
by the press Of his executive acts. 1t
means a great deal to the President
for upon the impression that he makes
in the next few months will depend
to a great extent whether any sub
stantinl opposition to his candidacy
for denomination will be developed.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mt the
his friends are serenely con-
fident of the outcome.
Mr.. Harding can "make or break"
bis political future in the next few
months and nobody knows that bet
ter than he does himself. With the
eyes not only of the politicians in
his own party, but those of the other
party, focused on the President, he
can become the center Of attack as
well as take the aggressive offensive.
His instinct is to tread cautiously
and play safe" avoiding fight and

ford the best method of dealing with
attacks against his administration,
but the safest political advice usually
offered is TO do things first and talk
about them afterwards.
Before going out to the country,
the President has the opportunity 10
do several things without the aid Of
Congress, for in him is vested wide
discretionary powers. On many pub.
lie questions Congress has not strip
ped the executive of so much power
since 1920. as might be Imagined and
the administration is in a large sense
one-inan government.
The cabinet secretaries have been
given much latitude by Mr.. Hard
ing, but he Is, after all, responsible
for practically all Of their acts and
rarely is an important policy put into
effect without his decision.
The European situation, 10 be sure.
affords Mr.. Harding all the time Il
chance TO recover lost ground with
that large group in his own party
which believes farm prices will be i'm
proved and the general prosperity OF
this country insured by economic and

rope. Secretary Hughes has confined
himself to the lines of policy laid
down by Mr.. Harding and with due
recognition Of the factional feeling in
side the Republican party which the
League of Nations issue aroused
But ever since Mr.. Hughes has
been secretary of state and Mr.. Hard
ing has been in the White House,
Congress has been in practically con
tinuous session and no move in for
eien affairs could be made. not eveu
the writing Of forceful diplomatic
note on international cooperation,
without running the risk of having
that move .pillotied BY debates in
Congress before the administration
had really had the chance 10 complete
its diplomatic maneuvers.
The President has been repeatedly
told that he must help Europe in some
practical way and that there are lots
of things he can do in an economic |
direction without committing the
United States TO any political en-
