THE TWO MOST URGENT public questions at pres
et Time are tax reduction and dealing with corruption
which has been unearthed in official circles in Washing
ton
President Coolidge feels with all his fellow country
men depressing sense of humiliation at the gross be-
trayal of public interest that has been disclosed
The taxation question as well as lax or criminal ac-
uon OF officials performing public duty is a problem for
Doth Republicans and Democrats The people the whole
United States have interest from the standpoint of les
senng tax bills and securing honest administration of
public affairs regardless of what party is in power
The pity is that self-seeking politicians will attempt
to use present situation further political ends rather
than TO advance the best interest of government
We must register approval of honest public Off
clas and demand tax reduction we expect to eliminate
dishonesty in public Office increasing tax bills

Of an Indian chief in a Texas town
Who got the dope from a circus clown

ANTI VACCINATION
 MEETING. .IS HELD
Less Than 90 Attend Sunday Dis
 CusSi0n at LyCeum Theater

i There was no epidemic of small poN in New Britain, Rev. (. II Rcimcrs Of Durham. secretary of th' Connecticut Medical liberty league told an audience of less than 90 per 1 sons yesterday Ht an anti-Taccinatiol | meeting in the Lyceum thcdtrr. Con
 tnulng. he said:
 i "Ta2te was a SmaiipoA scare and . I vaccination epidemic. Thirty-uiH, l cases of smallpoN in q city of G5,0ot : to 7o,0o0 population IS certainly moi an epidemic"
 I The meeting WAS sponsored bS Cliyer l. Davis Of Monroe street, at ardrnt anli-vaccinatioIiat. Mir. Davis i opened the meeting. He declared that smallpox is disease of fifth and the preventive is clean living and strict adherence 10 the laws of hygiene rather than vaccination. He said he
 as not yaccinated because as a boy he ran out of the house when the . family physician came to raccinatc. f The speaker asked why unvaccinated
 children are excluded from school
 when those who are Naccinatcd arc supposed 10 be immune and cannot possibly suffer from contact with those who have not submitted to the treatment.
 f Rev. Mr. Reimcrs said deaths have resulted from vaccination. He argued i that if smallpox is in the blood it is
 a blessing from God to have it brought out and after few weeks illness the .n1t
 small attendance did not discourage
 him because he knew there were
 many others who opposed vaccination but who could not be present because
 they feared loss of their positions or their friends. He urged that Mir. Da-
 wis be supported in his fight against vaccination.
 The state league will continue its fight in the legislature to have the jaw repealed and make submission to
 this treatment optional with every in- dividual, he declared.
 The speaker told the audience that Dr. Pullen of the health department
 had figured the cost of vaccinations
 in the, freo clinic at three cents n child, including the gauge. He then 
 attacked the physicians who charged two or three dollars for the treatment.
 In conclusion MT. Reimer told of the work of the league he represents. Its objects, he said, arc:
 First. To secure the repeal of the compulsory vaccination laws Of tho state of Connecticut and make sub mission to vaccination optional;
 "Socond; To carry on a campaign Of education against the evils of vac cination and 10 give such assistance as may be advisable and practical to any pupils or teachers, excluded from the public schools because of their refusal to submit their bodies for con tamination with a pus-compound in the name of science, health or what not:
 Third: To aid in the formation Of new medical liberty leagues through out the state, whose aim and objects are to oppose medical expressions, and to establish eventually medical liberty on the same basis as religious liberty"
