Letters From
the People

Proposed 100000 Bond Issue for
Repaving the business section of
the City. 0g
"There are so many, serious OBJ
jections to this issue Of bonds that
this is written in an effort to
erystalize public sentiment against
the issue.
"To name a few of the objec-
tons:
"The bonds would be a tax on all
the citizens of Americas for the
benefit Of owners of central bust
ness property. This wood block
pavement was put down some years
ago at a cost of 500, 900, properly
owners paying 2-3 and the city pay
in 1-3 of the cost. The money, on
the part of the city, was raised
by selling $33, 900 in bonds. If the
same method is used now, and THIS
method applies in the residence dis
tricts, the expense to the city should
not exceed SIS, 00G or 100000 The
concrete base is already down. Re
cent experiments in California show
that the use of steel reinforcement
for this work is of doubtful value.
By leaving out the steel reinforce
nent the cost will be very material
ly reduced
"The legality of a 100000 bond
issue is doubtful when all the city 5
indebtedness is considered
1T is bad business to fully ex-
haust the public credit. A reserve
of credit must be maintained or the
tax rate will continue to rise.
Before any bonds are authorized
all the floating Indebtedness should
be fully paid, the sinking fund re-
stored and the tax rate reduced at
least mills.
Last year the city raised taxes
for the purpose of getting out of
debt, now it is proposed to increase
the debt.
"a distinction must be made be
tween an imaginary emergency ard
real emergency.
High taxes are certain to fol-
low the reckless voting of bonds.
About a year ago a serious pro-
posal was made to issue bonds for
100000 to erect a school building.
This would have completely ex-
hausted the city's credit. If thai is
sue had been approved how would
the present matter of re-paving be
handled? If the voters should De so
shortsighted as to authorize this
100000 issue what will happAn if
a serious emergency should occure
where credit is desperately needed?
For instance, suppose our pumping
station should be destroyed; suppose
storm should wreck tie water tow
er, or our sewerage system should
suffer damage. How would such
serious matters be taken care Of?
Only in one way. BY collecting ad-
ditional taxes.
"a little forethought and care
now will cause the city to pay up
its debts and keep a credit reserve
with the result that later taxes can
be reduced instead of increasedp

A COMMON TRICK

The determined stand of an
Alabama woman to expose the
theft of her scenario in her in
junction case against the "Ten
Commandments" film showing in
Atlanta, only brings to greater
publicity a common trick of a
number of film companies to use
the plots and main features of
different scenarios submitted to
them and have one of their own
scenario writers work them over
for production without credit or
remuneration to the originator.

writer is one that may have chat

Abolishing the Kiss

There no longer can be any
doubt about Russia. 1t has a
bum government. speaking aft
er the manner of men.
The Soviets haven't done so
much constructive work but they
have gone into the abolishing
business on a considerable scale.
They have barred independent
thought, repudiated the obliga-
tionsEof man to man, condemn
ed money, kiboshed religion,
confronted the redoubtable San
ia Claus with the 'no-tresspass-
ing" sign and now they have
set stern, unyielding law
against the unyielding human
kiss. That, it will be admitted,
caps the climax.
The kiss dates from the be-
ginning of things. Despite the
claim of cold, unfeeling experts
that it is nothing more or less
than a deliberate or an impulsive
swap of some several hundreds
OF microbes that park within the
lips and in the shade of the
tongue, it has survived all at
tacks and oozed and smacked its
way through the centuries.

it is Divine. 1t is a moter first

curve aided in bringing the pen
nant and world championship to
Washington, is on the lip of ev-
cry boy-from 9 to 90-who
knows and loves the national
pastime.
After an l8-year struggle for
a place in a worlds champion
ship battle, the Washington
hurler this year saw his am
billions gratified.
He faced the Giant batters
once and lost. Again he was
called to the mound, and lost.
Then came the last and deciding
game. All depended on the
steady nerves and accurate arm
of the man who had twice fail

himself, Johnson took his place
3 on the mound-and won.
johnson demonstrated that
rare quality possessed by most
successful men of never admit

that has held good for eighteen
strenuos seasons, he kept age at
bay and has crowned his career
with his first world series pen

sH9s 1t must have been with keen
satisfaction that johnson enter

Tics, Twice he had been remind
