Famous Eastern City

Hippos was one of the cities Of
me DecapOlis in Palestine, its pre-
else location being uncertain. In
the Talmud it occurs under the
name of Susita, and the Greek
name Hippos is probably simply
translation. 1t was the rival Of
liberals, and the two towns stood
opposite each other on the sea Of
Galilee.
Hippos is spoken Of as an ex-
ample of a heather city in the
midst of the land Of Israel, but 1t
seems to have been an important
place, for the whole region around
II was called after it, Hippene.

Keys to Ancient Cities

When the mayor of a city today
presents a key to the city" to a
distinguished visitor, it means
nothing more than an expression of
good will, but there was a time
when 1t meant actual access to
city. When such a city was sur
rendered the keys Of the gates were
turned over to the conquerors.
Gates usually were closed at night
fall and If distinguished visitor
wanted to go and come as he
pleased he was entrusted with the

LEGISLATURE QUITS
WITHOUT A FIGHT
Continued from front page)


ter using all its own tax resourc-
es, will be given enough by the
state to make $1,000 budget. 1t
is now before the governor a
touchy bill whether he vetoes it
or not.
There are 145 bills before the
governor, but, excluding the ones
are of little Importance. More than
mentioned and the budgets thew
100 are private bills, each wanted
by a few, a group or community.
But they are pesky bills for the
governor, because if he vetoes one
it will make some angry without
compensating cheers from others
The tax load was not lessened
but increased. The three big mon.
ey bills We're: general BUDGET.
$34,000,0O0; supplemented budget,
$1,5O0,OO0; road budget. s27. 1884,
900.
Responsibility for increasing the
tax burden must be shared by
Gov. Hartley, the legislature and
the people altho the legislature.
especially the senate majority
made the biggest show of wantino
economy. The increases were in
three directions: - =
The legislature joined Governor
Hartley in providing for the i'm
provement of the institutions II
should be credited to the legisla-
ture and administration that de-
spite politics and the desire to
play cross-tag on ECONOMY thew
turned to provide without stint
for the deaf, the dumb, the sick,
the mental unfortunates and the
imprisoned. This spirit costs mon
ey, but it is not likely that the
people will complain.
Then the legislature raised the
tax bill by passing the Wilmer
school bill, which creates a levy
of $40 mill, or nearly 100000.
That, too, was put over by the
spirit that cheers the needy but
it was tempered with little pol
itics.
But roads caused the biggest
boost. EVERYBODY wanted roads and
every legislator-except a few
from downtown vest-pocket dis
tricts-wanted chunk of bacon
to tickle the folks at home. Gov.
Hartley submitted bullying bud
get for more than S24 900, 900,
there were shouts of "too much, y
which gradually changed to the
idea of "give everybody every
thing" and the result was a bud
get for more than $27, 900, OOO-
just $12,300,O00 more than the
road budget passed by the 1925
legislature. 1t carries nearly 20
million dollars for construction
while two years ago Gov. Hartley
insisted $10,000,0OO was enough
for construction.
This bulky budget, now before
the governor, means grief for
somebody, because it carries about
$6,000,000, perhaps a little more
in phoney money promises that
cannot be delivered. 1t carries
items totaling more than $1,000
600 that were not in the Hartley
Hoover budget. If the governor
vetoes any items, he will anger
the expectant benefciaries; if he
let's them ride, it will mean trouble
in the fall of 1928, just about cleo
tion time.

Purchases for year-end remem-

rapid rise in the franc without any
fall in prices brought about tight
ening of purse strings this time,
however, the public being of mind
to wait for better values.
During the holiday season the shops
were filled with visitors as much as
in previous years, but business was
so per cent below the turnover of
the previous season.
The working classes, relatively well
paid, went in strongly for retrench-
ment, as there was considerable alarm
over the laying off of artisans in
several industries during December,
while in others there have been pros
poets of temporary stoppages or re-
