i. s. CHIEF OF STAFF.
IS RAISED IN RANK
Coolidge Signs Act Making
Officer Who Holds Post
Full General.

President Coolidge yesterday signed
the congressional act elevating the rank
of the chief of staff of the Army from
major general to full general. AS a
result, the senior officer of the Army
attains equal rank with the senior officer
of the Navy, who holds rank as full
admiral, and with the senior officers of
the armies of foreign powers.
Maj. Gen. Charles P. Summerall, at
present the Army chief of staff, auto
matically became a full general when
the President signed the bill, the sixth
officer to attain that high rank in the
American Army and the first to be
elevated to it in times of peace. His
five predecessors were, in the order of
their commission, George Washington,
Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman,
Phil H. Sheridan and John J. Pershing
During the World War, Tasker H.
Bliss and Peyton c. March were given
the emergency rank of general by Presi-
dent Wilson, but at the end of the war,
like many other officers who have been
advanced in rank to meet an emergency,
thew reverted to their regular standing
in the Army.
Aluiy OlhCCKS were cldIcO JOElS1L over
President Coolidge's act The Army has
battled for years to have its senior
officer given the highest rank to which
an officer can aspire. The change was
wanted not only because the rank of
general is commensurate with the
responsibility of the important Office of
chief of staff, but because virtually all
foreign governments give the senior
officer of their armies the highest rank
attainable.
While Great Britain, France, Germany
and some other European nations be-
stow the rank of field marshal in
recognition of extraordinary service, a
rank that was created by Napoleon, a
general in the American Army would
rank with a field marshal of foreign
country because it is the highest office
the United States Government provides
for its Army.
Under the new order. the chief of
staff will keep the rank of general only
while holding that office. It amounts.
however, to permanent promotion as
the chief of staff almost invariably
reaches the compulsory retirement age
before completing his time as senior
officer.

 We ask our fellow citizens aI.G taxpayers 10 reason, and lend a sympathetic ear 10 our claims. Ii is very poor spOrtsmanship and fel- loWship to take offense when such vital question is discussed.
 Investors Losses
 You know the terrible situation of the real estate market at the present time. Everyone without ex- ccptlOn. who made an investment in realty during the past seven years. mas suffered staggering losses, which never had their equal in the history of American realty development. , The condition IS still getting worse with the result that legitimate in- NestOrs dread 10 resume their realty ! program because of the loss Of con 1 ildencc, They view the ownership of 1 property as q curse and connect it ! with financial failure. And as the 1 conditions are at present, they are l decidedly right.
 We all know that the reduction
 of taxes is an extremely difficult
 and complex matter and to run j | modern city with ever increasing de lnand for civic improvements We must incur extensive expenditures
 But, as American citizens we have | developed too expensive ideas which ] do not match our civic purse. Our | officials, being of the same blood
 and flesh in their eager ambitions, | have stripped the general public. '"They disregarded all sense of i limiting expenditures and as a result l they have been piled up enormously ! in all departments. It is a very ! tragic affair to see poor workers and 1 small business men lose their say 1 ings and be tied down by mortgages for life. like a slave to his master. We believe that the city govern l IlltIlL III uSL Cul LlS tAIJtllul uItS III all , departments, cspeically in schools, parks and public works
 Finds Assessments Inequitablc
 Properties on the streets of Hart ford avenue North street, Smalley, Orange, Winter, Spring and parts of Grove High, Myrtle and few other street of this city, are old and lack modern improvements. There is no reason why they should b2 taxed as high or higher than the rest. Some of the recently con- structed property all over the city has decreased in its valuation of | 50 per cent.
 such property owners are in eX- tremc need of q reduction in the taxes We also would recommend . change in the zoning system, t0 allow the construction of business

 After this change is brought about the city should be put on I budget system. It is pure madness to make a budget and then tax ac- cordingly. This is a great fault in taxation.
 We also discourage the attempt of acquiring new land to develop Il park with swimming pool that will cost S25,000. It will only pluck more taxes out of the property own- CTS pockets. This means less good food and clothing, two items more valuable to children then splashinE in a pool of Water'.
