at the District Building, under which
the heads Of the various municipal serv-

Supervises ID. C. Affairs.
From the outset Of operation under
the budget law 1t was recognized that
the. Federal agency should have some
one familiar with local affairs to adj
wise it in the work of going over the
September, 1921, a few months after
the budget law was enacted, Gen.
Dawes. the first director, called in
| former Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman
of Illinois, who had been chairman of
the Senate District Committee, to assist
in reviewing the District estimates that
first year. In recent years F. j. Bailey,
a member of the Budget Bureau staff,
has been assigned to study the District
estimates. Thus the Budget Bureau
has always had some one to give
special attention to District problems.
When the first budget was being pre-
pared in the Fall Of 1921 and 1t was
decided to seek the aid Of former Sem
ator Sherman, Gen. Dawes was quoted
as saying: 1T is manifest that If the
estimates for the District are to be
transmitted to the President with any
intelligent suggestions as to the necessity
and wisdom of the items therein, the
director of the budget must be assisted
by the impartial advice of one thor
oughly conversant with the business Of
the District"

While this plan of having q mem
Der of the Budget Bureau staff spe-
cialize on District matters is a recog-
milton of the study required in plan
ming the needs of a municipality, new
ertheless it demonstrates again how the
inclusion of the District government in
the Federal budget law gave officials
outside of the local government juris-
diction over purely local questions. This
phase of the budget-making process is
mentioned, not in any criticism of the
men who have worked on the District
estimates, but to emphasize that the
system itself divides municipal author
ity between local and Federal officials.

GOVERNORS DISCUSS
TAXATION PROBLEMS
Many Want to Discontinue Prop.
erty Taxes and Substi-
tute Sales Levy

Salt Lake City, July 1.-R-Prob-
lens Of state taxation. which occupied
a large share Of the opening days
sessions of the national governors
conference, held a prominent place
on today's program.
Sentiment for the ultimate oiscon-
tinuance Of property taxes for the
support OF state government and sub
stitution of sales or other excise taxes,
was developed from the round table
discussion that followed an address
BY Gov. William G.. Conley of West
Virginia.
Governor Conley's explanation Of
the operation of the gross sales tax
OF his state was followed by a lively
interchange among the governors
present.
That sales tax should be in lieu Of
q property tax, and not in addition to
an ad valorem levy. was the position
of Gov. l.. G. Hartman of Georgia.
who said a proposed constitutional
amendment in his state would with
draw the ad valorem tax from its
present level Of S mills to a minimum
of l mill.
Some skepticism among the COVER
nors as to the probable attitude of
legislatures toward the proposition Of
abolishing the ad valorem property
tax for support of state government
was voiced by Governor Theodore E.
Christianson and was concurred in by
other speakers.

WOMEN EXPATRIATES|
GIVEN CONCESSIONS
Americans Married to Aliens
May Retain Their Citizenship
With Less Trouble Now

Washington, July 1.-R-An or
ganized femininity, estimated as $780,
600 strong, today fired off figurative
cannon crackers Of jubilation for the
increased independence of women.
They celebrated the ong-fought-for
passage Of the Cable bill, relieving
American-born women married to
aliens from the necessity of involved
naturalization proceedings to regain
their citizenship.
The new Gable bill, an amendment
to the Cable act of 1922, strikes out
the presumption that q native-born
woman loses her American, citizenship
by residence abroad after her ma
riage to an alien. It provides for re-
p%atriation by simple affirmation, in
stead Of requiring residence in the
United States for a year. declaration
OF intention to reside here permanent
~, and posting Of the name for 80
days.
Under its provisions, native born,
women would not be required to take
the same searching examination and
naturalization process as is required
Of a foreign born alien. It would per-
NIT q native-born woman who had
lost her citizenship by marriage to an
alien to return to the United States
outside the immigration quota.

UP In The
AIR WITH
ruth KITCHENS
Milford Is Much PrettieV'
From The Air.

At the Dixon Air Circus last Sun
day 1 took my first aeroplane ride
1t was so enjoyable that 1 think ev-
eryone should go up at least once
to see their home town.
After buying your ticket and get
ting into the plane, you are ready
to go. AS the plane starts there is
a rush of wind, and as the plane
rises the wind becomes stronger.
The rising from the ground is not
noticeable until you look down ON
the boulevard which has become a
long white path almost straight.
The cars parked beside the road are
like lot of small toys. From the
air the fields in the country are like
patches, in various shades of green.
The plane circles around, and the
next thing you notice is that you
are crossing Walnut street. Down
this little trench, walled in by build
ings, more cars are moving.
Looking toward the East you can
see a little bit of the bay, a very
light blue. Then the plane begins
to circle around, and you head to-
ward the landing field. You notice
particularly in this direction the
chain of winding and crooked lakes.
The reflection of the sun on these
made them fairly glisten.
The postofice and the Vale home
stand out very prominently. They
seemed like models of buildings, so
small were they.
Then you have a queer sensation,
you hear a loud bump, and realize
that you have at last landed. Climb
ing regFetfuliy from the plane, you
think of how beautiful Milford is
from the air. Everything had SEEM
ed tidy and neat, but now the un-
tidiness and lack of neatness is
more apparent.

BEST PARTY OF
THE FALL SEASON
Much Noise Makes Sophomore Party
A Success.

Last Thursday evening was the
scene of another Halloween party
the "Sophs." Attractively decorat-
ed with fodder and leaves the gym
nasium, with lights dimmed, pre-
sented a weird appearance to the
entering guest.
The opening game was a bean
guessing contest, won by Mr.. Bos-
ton, who guessed within six beans
of the actual three hundred and
thirty-three. In a dark room some
uncanny articles, a rubber rat, old
shoe, teddy bear, sand fish, etc,
were strung on a string. One of
these, big velvet handbag, contain
ed the beans. Many did not even
locate them. Others guessed wide
of the mark.
The bowling of a pack of wolves
trying to out do the meow of a
score of alley cats could not have
sounded any worse than the howl
ing contest led by Bob Yerkes on
one side and Eleanor Stayton en- the
other. 1t was probably heard all
over Milford, as some of the teach
ers held their fingers in their ears
for fear of going deaf. Bob Yerkes'
side won, and received q box of pea
nut brittle.
A little later in the evening two
football players strolled in with
masks on. Many were perplexed as
to whom they were. Most assured
ly they were girls. In fact, Pansy
Belts, almost was sure one was

the masks were finally pulled off, to
our surprise one was Miss farrell
while the other was Miss Kinder.
"In line, everybody! Home made
sweet potato pies, chocolate picks,
cakes, and salted peanuts. Come on
and get your eats!" yelled Mr.. Bos-
ton. These were served in cafeteria
style.
After a bit of dancing and sing
ing, the party broke up still laugh
ing over the events of the evening.

dents to strive for higher goal,
and told how he had been born very
poor, and how at one time he had
almost been beaten by false pride.
He also told the dangers CT the to-
bacco habit and the dangers of
speaking evil about our neighbors.
1t was in all a most inspiring talk,
and we all feel better for it. We
wish that we might have the pleas
ure of hearing Mr.. Carson speak

SENIORS Are
ENTERTAINED
BY THE JUNIORS
NOUeL Costumes Provided
Much FMn-----The Party
Ended In Dancing.

On Wednesday night OF last week
the Junior Class gave the Senior
Glass a Halloween party. Everyone
was supposed to be masked al
though some were not.
There was a prize for the best
masked. After the people had been
thoroughly looked over the judges
picked from the crowd one whom
everyone thought was boy. When
the masks had been removed the
person was one of our teachers,
Miss farrell. She received a bal
loon as her prize. Another prize
was awarded for the funniest mask
ed. This prize was given to Lily
Wilson and Marjorie Gray. FOrtu-
nately their prize was jar Of can
dy which could be divided. They
were dressed as twins; their dress
consisted of sacks and boots. The
sacks were made so that they would
fit them as suit and were stuffed
with paper. They wore knee boots.
After the prizes had been given
the party continued with games.
First, we had the snake dance.
Hunting peanuts was among the
games. A prize was also awarded
for this. The one that found the
most peanuts was Ralph Reed. He
received a bag of peanut brittle. We
had the death march which aroused
much excitement as the rope broke
and half of the people were at one
end of the hall and half at the ether
end.
When all had returned TO the aud
itorium, Everett Ladd, boy in the
Junior Glass, showed us some mag
ic. He ate fire, put four cards in n
hat, Queen of hearts, King of hearts,
Queen of clubs ana King of clubs.
He then put the Queen of hearts in
his pocket and the three cards left
i'll the hat were neither Queen of
clubs, King of clubs nor King of
hearts.
The party finally ended in dane
ing. Very delicious refreshments of
pretzels and punch were served.

FOOTBALL SEASON
CLOSES IN M. Il. s.
Fine Shouting Made By
Boys During First Sea-
son.

Now that the football season is
over we are giving brief sum-
mary of our games.
The first game with FELTON, turn
ed out to be 90 tie. This was the
first game any of us had ever play
ed in and of course we were rather
nervous. Our next game, with Re-
hoboth, turned out better, 10 in our
favor. This win raised our hopes
high only to have them dashed in a
heart-breaking game with Bridge
vile who beat us 1870.
Then our second team played Do
ver's second team and lost 60.
w. c. l. won hard battle, 60,
from us next.
Our next game with with FELTON,
whom we had tied 90. Another bat
tie to the finish ended in TT tie.
Bridgeville then brought over the
team that had beaten us before and
we held them 1910.
We wanted one more game and
got it with Frankford. After a close
battle the game ended with the
score 81 against us.
The team was sorely handicapped
when our fullback, Captain Bennett,
was hurt and could not play after
our last FELTON, game. Hyman Rosa
took his place and played a fine
game. He has indications of max
ing Milford a fine fullback when he
gets a little more experience. The
team has turned out well for its
first year and Coach Bowdle is well
pleased. He is shaping the team for
next year and is expecting very
good showing at the games then.
Since this is the first time that
the Milford boys ever played real
football they must be complimented
on their abilities.
Many of the towns pessimists
were optimistic about the results of
Milford's football schedule, but ev-
erybody from Coach Bowdle down
to the water boys proved what the
fellows of M. H. S. can do when they
try.
