Sunset Home Workers
Expect To Reach
200 MEMBERSHIPS

Thirty new sustaining member
ships were added to the list of 50
previously reported. at the meeting
OF the Sunset Home committee held
yesterday, making a total Of 113 in
all. This Is most encouraging to
the committee and they feel that the
goal of 200 memberships will be
i reached within the appointed time.
Solicitations require much time and
work and 1t will be impossible for
the solicitors to reach all who are
willing and waiting an opportunity
! to give.
Consequently the committee feels
| that those who are interested and
| anxious that the project should
come to successful conclusion will
be willing to call up the Chamber
of Commerce. 720. and report to Mrs.
Wallace their intention of helping.
Two instances of generosity and
helpfulnesS were noted yesterday.
One was when gentleman from
Riverside came into the Chamber of
Commerce and said his mother, Mrs.
L. p. Sawyer, 80 years of age, want
| ed to make a pledge of $40 a year
| for five years for the Sunset Home
| and wanted to make the first pay
ment. The secretary filed out the
| necessary card and accepted the
money. Mr.. Sawyer said that his
mother had planned that if she
weren't here to carry out her pledge,
she was to exact promise from
him that he would fulfil the con-
| tract.
The other instance was the rails.
ing by DR.. ]. D. Taylor of his pledge
of $40 a year for five years to 800
a year for the same length of
| time. making 10 memberships a year
as did w. J. Lanigan, a few days
| ago. All OF these incidents help to
| make the work less arduous and
are highly encouraging.
The following names have been
added since last report to those per-
sons pledging $40 year for five
years for the maintenance Of the
Sunset Home: Miss Annie Dorr,
Misses Lou and Nellie Clark, Mrs
| Florence A. Springfield. Mrs. Grace
L. Mitchell, James e. jackson, Mrs.

reckless driving record as clean as
possible for the year 1924. The ce-

a floor but some of the corners where
streets join Main street are sharp.
Elm street is practically dry and
College avenue is in very good shape
although rough in places. Automo-
biles are coming and going between
Waterville and Augusta, as well as
on the Bangor road. The travelling

autoists will do well to keep of the
country roads for some time yet. The
surface varies from three foot drifts
to a foot of mud.

THE BURNHAM HOSPITAL

A leading question before the
citizens of Champaign is whether the
city shall take over the Burnham
hospital and operate it as city in
stitution in accordance with a sug-
gestion Of the Board of Directors.
The question presents live issue
which should be contemplated ser
iously from every angle.
1t is obviously a law that upon
petition of 100 or more legal voters
of a municipality a tax, not to exceed
3 l-3 mills on the dollar of taxable
property, may be imposed for mains
tenance of a non-sectarian hospital
within the limits of the municipality.
Legal counsel expresses the opinion
that the Burnham hospital cannot be
decided to the city in its present
status with an indebtedness of $4,000
and a deficit in the current expense
fund of approximately $4,000.
1s,e o',i,s asetssss ..'tr,'fs ti,e power
of the city is to either vote tax for
a period of three years for the main
tenance of the institution as a private
concern, or to lease it and operate it
as city hospital, thus making it
possible to Appropriate funds TO the
current expenses after one year has

Oppose Pittsburgh Plus.

Washington, July 5.-There is
silence on the eXactions of the steel
trust by those who blame building
costs on high" wages.
At hearing before the interstate
commerce commission it was shown
that the steel trust plant at Gary
Indiana, sells much structural steel in
Chicago, but freight costs from
Pittsburg are added to the steel
though that commodity never sees
Pittsburgh. This tax on steel mean,
additional building costs.
DR.. Ripley of Harvard university
and others have declared that Pitts.
burgh plus increases prices.
The steel trust is resisting the com
missions efforts to abolish the sys
TEN, which equips the trust with the
power to influence, if not control
prices.

Since June, 1923, the upward trend
in unemployment in Australia.
varying from 92,7S9, at the close of
that month, to 1864, at the begin.
ming of this spring, has been decided
ly unfavorable.
During March, 1924, the number
OF unemployed persons in Denmark
decreased from $1,000 to 1884.
During the first eight days of April,
1874, unemployment in Poland in
creased from 10000 to $4,000 per.
sons, but since that time the increase
is stated, by the Government, to have
been very small.

Private hospitals to succeed mu=f
charge abnormal rates. All public
hospitals receive funds either from
the state or through philanthropy.
The Methodist hospital at Indiana
poiiz. one of the largest institutions
4 il kind ia the west, receives q
large annual appropriation from the
churches Of the Methodist denomina-
ton in Indiana. Every Catholic hos
pital Is sustained by liberal contribu-
lions. and all private hospitals. to be
able To meet expenses must have
either large annual contributions OF a
liberal endowment, or else they must
charge prices in keeping with eA-
penses. Private institutions are not
usually an advantage to people Of
moderate means,
The only way in which a private
institution is a benefit to people Of
small means is in afrording hospital
treatment for the more wealthy
classes and thus relieving the con
gestion in other hospitals. Should
the doors of Burnham hospital be
closed there would Immediately be 4
congestion in both the County hos
pital and Mercy hospital to the ex-
tent that emergency cases would be
of necessity neglected Naturally the
poorer people would be the sufferers.
The statement Of the Board of Di-
fectors that the hospital must either
become a city institution or close its
doors is entirely reasonable. The
only thing that can offset this calam-
ity is for a few atruistic individuals
of large wealth to come to the aid
of the board Of directors with an an
dowment sufficient to offset the pres
en- need of funds. There appears to
be no one sufficiently interested in
philanthropy to offer such relief.

"Broadcasting" Is Mrnnn.

elapsed following a favorable vote on
the question. This is permissible
under the law.
The prime objection 10 accepting
the proposal Of the board # directors
| is tic question Of taxation. Three
mills on the dollar means $4,000 On
the present valuation which i en-
lirely too low. II the valuation Is
increased in proportion to the actual
taxable property Of the city The
amount will be approximately s23, 500
annually.
Obviously the bulk Of this taxation
will be paid by the more wealthy
property owners of the city and mol
by members Of Organized Labor. Il
haz been estimated that the increase
in taxes, if the proposal IS acted on
favorably, will not exceed $50 on a
property valued at $4,000.
In justice to the hospital board Of
directors it should be explained that
they are sincere in wishing to get
GU from under an unpleasant burden
They cannot be held to account fal
the deficit, but 50 long as they are
directors they are bound TO exefi
every effort within reason TO maintain
the hospital on a paying basis, and
if deficit accrues they may be ex-
pected to lay plans to meet it.
So far they have met their obiiga-
ton as directors Of the institution.
While Mrs. N. NJ. Harris was alive
she was the hospitals most liberal
donor. The hospital has never been
paying institution--it has in fact
never paid expenses, owing to the
fact that the institution was origin
ally endowed to be maintained on the
basis Of 1895 prices which have in
creased abnormaly. Since the war
it has been impossible for the direc-
tors to meet expenses, though hospital
prices have been increased.
The hospital now has a bonded in
debtedness of $4,000 and interes;
of $1,000 annually. This indebted
ness has been carried since the addi-
ton to the hospital was erected.
To offset this indebtedness there is
a trust fund of $4,000 drawing inter
est of $4,000 annually. The in
terest on this fund cannot be appro-
pfiated to current expenses, but it can
be appropriated toward the payment
of the interest and principal on the
bonded indebtedness. The difference
between the interest On the bonded
indebtedness and the interest on the
trust fund is 1,400, which surplus
may be applied ON the principal of
the Indebtedness. At this rate il
will take approximately 30 years to
pay off the bonded indebtedness.
While Mrs. Harris was alive notes
made by the Burnham directors were
cancelled by her, and thus the cur
fent eNpvnsc fcncfts wftfc6 accrued
were met without recourse
to tag days and other methods of
raising funds. Since her death the
board Of directors has been under
heavy pressure to pay out these an
nual deficits, and those who have
aided them in previous years show

1t has been suggested that both
Champaign and Urbana should unite
in appropriatng tax for malnten-
ance of the Burnham hospital. The
suggestion sounds we'll, but there is
no way under the present law to pro-
cure aid for an institution outside
the corporate limits of a given NUM-
cipality. Ulbana could be taxed for
a hospital within its corporation
lines, but no tax could be levied In
that city for a hospital outside its
boundaries, unless it be a state or
county hospital. Consequently a
union of the two cities for the main
tenance of Burnham hospital is an
mpossibihty under the law.
A parallel case would be to ask
Urbana to assist in paving East Main
street, Champaign, because many Of
urbana's citizeps use ..-the .streeI,
The answer to this proposal Is that
there is no law by which a union of
the two cities can be consumated foi
this particular purpose. :
Neither can Champaign be assessed
for any institution within the cor
porate limits of Urbana. The law
vihdicates itself without argument
If the hospital is to become a public
institution supported by taxation thu
burden belongs to Champaign, anC
the citizens of Champaign cannot
dodge the issue.
