PAY UP TAXES NOW,
 . COLLECTOR ADVISES
LOomis Says Delinquency Will
 Increase Rate Next Year

In q statement issued by Tax Col lactor Bernadotte Loomis today sev- oral reasons are advanced why tax deinqucnts should do everything in their power to pay up back taxes. He quotes figures to prove that it is better for the city to make a substantial payment on back taxes by February l, 1881.
 It is Mir. Loomis' contention that it is possible for tax delinquents to reduce next years tax rate,
 His statement, in full follows:
 As you are one of the larger tax dolinquents. will you carefully con- sider the following reason why ii IS essential that your taxes should be paid at once.
 The city must operate on d budget.
 The budget must he met every year.
 Practically the only source Of revenue the city has is taxes.
 Tn order to meet the current budget $285,243.70 in taxes must be collected before March 31, 1881.
 If it fails to collect the necessary amount Of taxes, d deficit will result,
 "Cnder the law a tax must be laid 10 meet the deficit.
 This means all increase in the tax rate for the following year.
 such an increase means an addi- tonal burdens to the taxpayers which obviously Is q greater har1- ship than that created by diligent collection Of taxes,
 Do you realize that ir is pos =ihle for tax deHnquents to reduce next years tax rate? This IS how Il can he done.
 "On December i. 193b there wore lnpaid taxes on the books to the amount of S625,g7@.a6. If $-85.@43,- n Of this amount was to be paid by March 3l, 1881 the budget would be met and if III additional amount Of S234.p0n was paid by March 31, tq8l there would be balance on hand for the new budget equivalent l 10 a two mill tax.
 1 "Hovavor tI. board Of finance and taxation could not reduce the rate on this account unless they knew by inc ond of January that the budget would be exceeded by the end Of the present tiscai year. Us the rate is taid at the February meeting ot the common council. Therefore. In order for ,ou to do vour share toward reducing the fax rat. vou should make a substantiI payment on your back taxes by i February ], 1891,
 "Iours very 'rutH. ! "BEKNADoTTE LOOMS. "CrE Tax Collector"

VETERANS SEEKING
 LARGER PENSIONS
Men Already Applying for New
 Disability Money

Washington, July IS (Pl-An army Of infrm men have begun a march on government headquarters in 54 cities of the United States, seeking to share additional benefits provided for world war veterans in the clos ing hours of the last congress.
 Colonel George E. Hams, assistant director of the Veterans bureau, said today that thousands already have visited regional headquai ters throughout the country to apply for disa bility compensation under the new law.
 Only Month of Delay
 So thoroughly prepared was Uncle Sam that the government machinery will begin grinding out benefts be- fore another month passes.
 Additional balm for war scars provided in the new act will amount to about s25,2S1, 900 by the end or next year, 1t is estimated, and 1t will increase yearly, reaching about sso,- 570,o00 during 1885. These sums are l ln dQQltlO1l lO lIle 4IoiA DiAiiS-+ lars now being spent by the Vet erans' bureau.
 About l56,00O former soldiers made eligible for relief for the first time since the war ended will share the new bounty by the end Of 195l 1. They will increase in numbeA an- nually reaching about 3SO,OVo Tn ! five years.
 The new act provides that any honorably discharged veteran now disabled shall receive an allowance from Uncle Sam. Previously, he ha1 to demonstrate his infrmity was the result of war service. The only con- ditions for receiving the relief is that the disability is permanent, and not the result of wilful misconduct.
 Doing Everything Possible
 'We are doing everything huIAan- ly possible to get the benefits to the veterans without delay" Colonel Hams said. The new bill does not provide for additional personnel for administration Of the act-although it lays a gargantuan new task on the shoulders of tke Veterans bu- reau.
 Some administrative details can not be worked out until Director General Hines, already named ad- ninistrator of veterans affairs, is confirmed.
 He then will take the reins Of the veterans administration. coordinated headquarters of all federal govern mental relief for war veterans. Ills bureau will be the largest single gov ernment administration agency ln the nations history,

London, July IS P-The royal gallery in the house of lords was packed today when interparliamen- tary union reassembled for it's fifth sitting to consider security problems and the Kellogg pact.
 Twenty speakers were scheduled for today's session including Wis., count Inouye and Congressman Morton D. Hull of Chicago.
 The Chicagoan in his report pointed out that without undertak- ing to redefne neutrality or prove any plan for its modification t seemed reasonable to assume that it would be examined widely in the direction of a cooperative effort for the Encouragement of war"
 If there is war anywhere" he said, Tit affects all nations. It fol- lows that all nations have a con- mon concern in it's prevention. A suggestion that a conference be held for consideration and adjustment of security problems seems to point the way to interesting and desirable developments. Community of inter- est should lead to community of ac- tion."
