NLOSE to the authority of right
~ and truth in the life and teach
ing of Jesus was the conception of
the highest right and the fullest
truth as manifest in love.
Two adverse passages in this les
son reveal Jesus as supremacy the
mon of truth and the man of love.
Truth creates in men sagacity and
power to discern right and wrong.
1t creates in the mind noble sense
of logic and an ability to see things
in their right relations Hence.
when the Pharisees and Herodians
came to Jesus trying to ensnare
him on an issue of patriotism-a
noble thing which narrow and big
oted people have often debased by
trying to make it serve their own
ends-JeSus revealed a simple but
effective logic of facts which put
them to confusion.
Calling for a coin he asked con-
corning the image and superscrip-
ton on it. They replied that these
we're Caesars and Jesus immedi-
ately stated a principle which took
the ground from under their feet.
Render unto Caesar" he said,
'the things that are Caesars, and
unto God the things that are
Gods"
MisinterpretatiOn
Probably no passage in Scripture
has been more grievously misun-
derstood or wrested to purposes that
Jesus never intended. A common
Interpretation of the passage is to
make it the basis of a doctrine Of
the relationship between church
and state. The separation of church
and state as we have it here in
America is a very good thing and
something that commends itself to
us all, but there is no particular rea-
son to see this doctrine in these
words of Jesus.
We must remember that he was
meeting these Pharisees and Hero
dians upon their own ground, and
we must be careful not to take his
effective answer to them as state

Shafer to
j u m p a t
Riverside
Daredevil to Attempt
Another Thrilling
Stunt,

1.-THE Patent Leather Kid bal
loon jumper de luxe, known in pri-
vate life as Claude Shafery will at
tempt another five-parachute leap
from the sky over Riverside amuse-
ment park Sunday afternoon, it is
announced.
Shafer thrilled many Riverside
guests last Sunday by .tumbIfng
from the clouds attired in formal
evening clothes, and tomorrow will
be similarly attired, with the addi-
ton of spats and a walking stick.
Shafer is an Indianapolis man
and. is employed ip one of the large
manufacturing plants here six days
each week, but on Sunday takes his
recreation in the sky. Hundreds of
his fellow-employes we're on hand
at Riverside last Sunday to watch
the perilous feat of their buddie.
His flair for parachute leaping is
a source of amazement to his
friends, who point to the fact that
the kid" is one of the most tinid
auto drivers, never exceeding a
speed of twenty-five miles an hour,
and he is very conservative in TAX
ing any risks in the ordinary walks
Of life.
r II
Regulation airplane parachutes
are used by Shafer in his jumps.
Each of the five "chutes" is folded
tightly and the bundle of five is
strapped on the aeronaut's back.
An ordinary pocketknife is used
by Shafer in cutting loose each sue
cessive parachute on his journey
back to earth, the knife being
strapped to his right wrist.
The first four parachutes used by
the jumper after leaving the bal
loon are very small and retard his
downward dash but little, but the
last one is larger than the rest and
serves to bring him to the ground
without shock ordinarily.

FALSE HOPES
promises Of 500 Tax Reduction

c4re cMiS1eadis,g

M advocates of the proposed constitutional
u amendment claim that its adoption will reduce
the average taxpayers burden one-half.
This statement is based on false Interpretation Of Ken.
lucky Reports Kentucky reduced its levy for pur
poses, against tangible real and personal 49,
by elashc alton; but only about 11fo of
total At the time local taxes which, under
classification, paid entirely by real and tangible
personal property, increased than the amount OF
this reduction, making higher net tax on real estate
a result of classification.
at They claim that this amendment is necessary
u to make our Constitution flexible.
Yet they admit that under our present Constitution the
legislature has the power to tax every kind of wealth.
6T They claim that ntdngibles should be taxed.
u We thoroughly agree.
They want to tax them under dangerous amendment
that destroys present constitutional safeguards against
being taxed higher basis than his neighbour
We them under safe amendment that will
preserve this constitutional protection
N They claim possible tax reduction of 500
u by the adoption of an amendment that pro-
yides for sources of revenue except the
tax on mfdngibles.
washington's total taxes in arc about 81 100000
5oet reduction that s36OOooOo reve.

Statements that onc-ha the wealth of the consists
of ntangibe wild guesses. The of what
ntangbes will raise in is the experience
of other Kentucky raises only about s2,75OOoo
and Minnesota s12Joooo from intangibles, about 10
of all revenues. Washington could hope raise
than 100000 100000 from
intangbes This would mean possible reduction of
2h@e to "a and not 500 as claimed.
GN Yet for this paltry reduction that can be had
just as well under safe amendment you are
asked to adopt dangerous amendment that
will destroy your constitutional safeguards
against unfair taxation, one that will invite
constant warfare between classes of taxpayers
at every session of the legislature.
