LOCAL TAXES

Homestead Exemption Law
Throws Burden on Bust

Local taxes next year will not be
less than $3.50 per thousand valua-

ured by dividing the total valuation
of $3,079,603 into the estimated sum
to be raised of $113,407.14
The homestead exemption law, al
lowing an exemption of $500 on homes
has thrown heavy burden on the
business of the city and by decreas-

the general tax rate. The total of all
exemptions is 613 with valuation of
$303,450. Automatically this sum is
thrown against the property moi ex-

Flashes
Life is ShOrt-Tell the Truth"
Taking it out
On the Editor.

on the EUlGOFs
A Mr.. Cartwright, Dodgeville jew
eler, notifies the Sun-Republic of his
city he cannot advertise in the paper
because of it's radical opinions on pol
itics. The newspaper in reply graz.
iously comedies Mr.. Cartwright's
right to advertise where he sees fit
and thanks him for his candor. And
a subscriber in the following issue
raises the point that if Mr.. Cartwright
cannot patronize radical paper be-
cause of his strong feelings, by all
odds other people of that belief should
not force their money on him and dis
turb his moral convictions. The shoe
begins to pinch the other way.
Hazing a newspaper because it
courageously states an honest view is
a small bore but common procedure.
And intended to hurt the editor only
it very frequently cuts both ways.

MadisOn's Problem
is a National One.

The murder one Italian by another
at Madison last week was followed
closely by the shooting of a police of
fcer on his beat The shooting of a
"wop" more or less arouses but mild
interest But when an American po-
lice officer is shot down in cold blood
citizens begin to take notice.
Madison's problem is is nation
wide problem Groupse of low-grade
foreigners exist in all cities of the
country. AS a rule they are left to
founder along by themselves in a
mire of dirt, ignorance and outlawry.
Something distressing happens. An
effort to meet the situation by re-
doubled police activity follows. The
case grows old and the cleanup halts
until the next tragedy breaks.
Barring a flood of immigrants into
this country is first step of making
Americans of those here. We can, if
we will, take breath and begin work.
The next step is sympathetic interest
toward the foreigner within our gates.
A third and most important step is
the training of the foreigners chill
dren to become American citizens
with full knowledge of the respon-
sibilities that privilege entails.
Madison's problem starts with the
neglected childhood of the capital
citys ghetto Intelligence, comfort
and wealth sits enthroned on the hill.
Poverty, ignorance and misery lies in
chains in the valley. The solution
lies in caring for that childhood. 1t
is a long road but the only one.

A Beauty Spot
in Pigeon Valley.

And this brings up another propo-
sition the Herald has spoken OF from
time to time That is a public park
including a bathing and boating pond
in Pigeon Valley between Cherry
street and Lincoln avenue The site
is ideal and the land as used at pres
ent is of small value. Without great
expense it could be made into a pub
lie park. Such a park including
small lake, would be an asset to Lam
caster.
This may sound visionary but we
understand that no less than five cit
liens stand ready to donate $500 for
such a park. If five will give $500.
ten will give $3.50, and 20 will give
a hundred apiece. So on down the
line to the Csc contribution of the
school child. All can help little
That part of Pigeon valley, now
mainly swamp and sewer outlet, was
the dwelling place of the first Lah-
caster settlers. They located in the
valley because of the handy springs
and wood nearby 1t must have been
a beautiful place in those days. 1t
could be made SO againA

Honest Mr.. Berger. M
Victor Berger, honest If naive al
ways, says the Republican majority
acted with perfect propriety in read
tsaxIaAa1aa Toilette out of his important
committee assignments. He points
out that La Toilette conducted his
campaign on basis of attack or
things republican, saying the party
was hopelessly corrupt and beyond
REDEMPTION. After 80 years or vain
struggling to bring the party up 1t
was no use, he left" to quote one OF
Bob's own speeches.
Mr.. Berger goes on to say that
conservative party and radical
party are natural political divisions
in this country and that Mr.. La Fol-
Iette having cast his fortunes with
the radical group must stay that way.
Mr. Berger concludes that Mr.. La Fol-
lette by temperament and affiliation
is radical and therefore has no
Mace in the conservative wing. And
he asks if there is any question now
as to where La Toilette stands after
he made a direct plea for the radical
socialist vote and had that vote de-
livered to him by the hundreds OF
thousands?
Mr.. Berger's statements are to the
point. He rudely bursts out into the
meeting with some terribly frank II
true things just as the rest OF the po-
litical diplomats were getting things
nicely fixed to take Bob back into the
fold. make a good republican out OF
him again and keep him straight.
The trouble with Victor is that he
is honest and sincere himself and
thinks others are the same way, He
takes Bob seriously. Most republicans
do not.
If La Toilette will thank the repub-
licans for reading him OUT of the
party and take a definite stand with
the radical-socialist element where he
got his strongest support, we too,
the rank and file will take him ser
iously also and respect him for hav-
ing the courage of his convictions,
win. lose or draw. If he does not
repudiate once and for ALL lamely
keeps still or tries again to assume
the republican mantle. we must hold
our belief that he is a political oppor-
tunist and not worthy of serious con-
sideration one way or the other.

Skating Rink Assured.

Skating Rink Assured.
A municipal skating rink, made by
using the upper ice pond, is now pos
sible through the generosity of the
owner, Fred Aupperle. Fred has
agreed to allow the use of the pond
for skating purposes if certain reas-
enable conditions are complied with
The pond must be properly policed
especially at night. 1t must be light
ed. The ice must be kept clean and
in good conditions for skating. Some
comfort arrangements must be pro
vided. Otherwise. as the Herald under
stands it, there no strings to Freass
public spirited offer.
The. electric company is also gen
erous. Mr.. Tannehill offers to install
the poles and string the lines for two
lights, asking merely that thei city
pay for the electricity used. This
cost will be trihing A committee has
been appointed and all needed is
little push to give Lancaster a good
place for the young folks to skate
lust as other nearby towns have.
