 Chicago, Dec 6-tUP)--The day has passed when folk in Hoopeston. III, and Munucie. Ind, were afraid to come to Chicago because of gangsters with machine guns and pineapple" bombs.
 Next year, when the Century of Progress-the 1893 worlds fair opens in a $15,O00,0Q0 modernistic wonderland on the lake front, the millions who come from all over the world to attend will find them- selves in what Mayor Anton J. Ger mak predicts will be the safest big city in the world.
 Chicago already is one of the safest cities of comparable size, the mayor said to-day. "Bombing and gang shootings are being stamped out"
 The war with gangdom has been long and bitterly fought. On one side were gunmen, racketeers, hoodlums, terrorists and beer barons under the leadership of AL phonse Capone. They listed as al- lies certain men in political office. On the other side were the law abiding people of Chicago. the in- vestigative and judicial depart ments of the state and the United States, the police and the secret six"
 The fate of Capone and dozens of other gangsters has become his tory. Not so widely known is the fact that the racketeer is being pushed out of business.
 Every housewife and household CT in the city senses that things are better than they were. although many do not realize why. The cit izen who wants a suit cleaned and pressed is pleasantly surprised when the bill is 50 cents while a few months ago 1t was $1.5O.
 The answer-the racketeers have lost their strangle holdson the cleaning and dyeing business.
 The housewife who buys sup plies doesn't realize that part of the reason for their cheapness Is the fact that the merchant no longer has to pay an exorbitant

 The drive to reduce the annual billion dollars now spent on the veterans is directed at non-service connected compensation and pen sions for disabilities incurred in private life. It is contended that nearly 100000 veterans are already on the pension rolls for non-service disabilities. Director Hines of the veterans bureau estimated that in 20 years, under the present policy,

The Power of
 the Spoken Word

Ex-Governor C. A. Templcton spoke last night at n meeting of the Mons Brotherhood at St Paurs church. He gave short resume of his own life, telling of his boyhood in waterbury and describing his political career. Ex-Governor Tcm- pleton told his listeners that life Is what one makes 1t and added that what one gets out of life depends upon what one puts Into 1t.
 The power of the spoken and printed word was pointed to. also. by ex-Governor Templeton. He urged his listeners to always weigh the truth of all information re- ceived and to verify tho truth be- fore passing such information on.
 At the meeting Robert Hunter, Frank Roberts and MT Fromm were admitted to membership. A supper was served under the direc- ton of Walter J. oldroyd, Elmer L. Hough. William J. Hart and Frank Roberts.

about 2,0OO, 900 veterans will be re- ceiving disability allowances total- ing 100000 annually.
 A joint congressional committee appointed to investigate the whole subject of veteran expenditures is Just now organizing its hearings and 1t may soon be indicated whether the veterans have lost any of their traditional power over congress.
 Small items in the $7OO,O0O,- 900 spent for the war and navy departments will be under attack. Favorite proposals. which have failed in the past. include the elimination of 2.000 excess army officers and of various navy yards and army posts commonly consid- cred useless but protected by con- gressmen.
 Despite recommendations from President Hoover. any extensive program of reorganization of fed- eral departments and bureaus will have to wait for the Roosevelt administration, if 1t comes then. The combined opposition to a real program of reorganization has al- ways pFOVeu lOO InuCn TOT con- gross. That's why each session of congress usually contents it. self with one or two usually minor--mergers or rejiggerings. The most pretentious plan for reorganization which now com mands important support Is that to combine the war and navy de- partments into department of national defense. House demo- cratic leaders got together on that last session, asserting that it might save $50,00O,000 or $75,- 900, ,000.
 But President Hoover, although he is the high priest of the fed- eral reorganization idea, opposed 1t. Roosevelt is reported to favor the army y-navy consolidation and If he does 1t Is likely to become one of the first things he attends to when he has his own congress in session.

Beer Tax .00O.OO0
 

popular, but every threatened economy causes q loud cry from some quarter and it remains to be seen who will yell loudest and most ominously.
 Except for the beer tax, the only tax to be discussed which wotild raise a great deal of money is the sales tax. which was de- feated last session, when 1t was estimated that 1t would raise $500, 100000. President Hoover fayors a sales tax and if the re- pub1icans espouse 1t vigorously there may be another food fight.
 The house democratic leaders went down to defeat before an in- surgent revolt when they tried to put 1t over last year, but Presi- dent-elect Roosevelt is represent ed as anxious to avoid any new tax except the beer levy. His nearest approach to a declaration on the sales tax is his public objection to "any tax on food and clothing"
 Beed Vs Sales
 Sales tax sentiment has grown to point where the tax prob.- ably would be inevitable were 1t not for the beer tax promise, but If sales tax passes the house this winter 1t is likely to be fili- bustered to death by progressives in the senate. Senator William F. Borah. of Idaho has promised to fight 1t to the last ditch.
 Congressman Charles R. Crisp of Georgia, who brought the sales tax onto the house floor last year as acting chairman of the house ways and means committee, will not do so again. Chairman James w. Collier of Mississippi is back on the job and he acted early to call the committee into session December z to consider a beer tax at once. He had the fervent sup port of both Speaker Garner and President-elect Roosevelt. The statute books already provide a $6-a-barrel tax, and Collier has proposed $7.50.
 Not much is heard of reducing any of the taxes imposed at the last session, but various bills will be introduced for the purpose and may he done about tho bank check tax and the three-cent postage rate.
 The economy effort will rest at first with the $700. 100000 Presi- dent Hoover says can be saved un- der expenses of this year, for which congress appropriated $3,-s 900. .000. .000. The budget bureau has slashed at the departmental and bureau appropriations, but most of the $700,00Q, ,000 would be by the non-recurring saga, 100000 appropriated or emergency public works and n cut In authorized public constructions. Proponents of public construction as method of unemployment re- lief will make at least some kind of . light against this measure.

 Washington. The budget is out of balance again and we are in for another big battle in congress over economy and taxation.
 Whether 1t will be wilder and more or less fruitful than the tus- sle congress had with the same is- sues earlier this year can only be guessed.
 But the public demand for econ- omy Is far stronger and somewhat better organized. The federal deficit Tor this fiscal year is going to run between $f,50O, GOO, 900 and &2.000,- especially the democrats and the president and presidenf-elect, are pledged to drastic economies. Con- gressmen stand impressed by the general demand.
 Congress will undertake to ba1- ance the budget--as 1t theoretically did in its last session = by doing the least unpopular thing. Its suc- cess will be limited by the fact that the economy taxation issue involves q myriad of controversial phases. evolSes an otherwise unduplicated cacophony of piercing shrieks and makes so many animals wild that nearly every member shudders for the safety of his job.
 Beer for Taxes
 Everyone has definite ideas on where economies should be effected and taxes levied, but gaining a fna- jority's support Is something else again.
 Apparently the most popular Idea in congress for a revenue or econ-. osny measure this session is that of a beer tax, which means the legal ization of some form of beer and which might raise an estimated $300.000,000 a year. If such 8 measure is passed, it will disturb millions of drys in this country. A year ago. before 1t began to ap- pear that the drys had lost most of their political strength. con gress didn't dare pass beer tax. Now, for the most part, 1t doesn't care whether the drys are dis- turbed or not.
 Other groups are now on the warpath, for or against this econ- omy or that tax The force of thei? pressures will determine hovtsthe budget is to be balanced Theoretically any new tax will be unpopular and any new economy .-. L-

Portland, Me, Plans to Make First National YD Get.
 Together June 17, IS, 10 a Memorable Event

Portland, Me, June 2--From a survey made of the New England states among active units of the 26th division, it is estimated that at least 5000 Yankee division men will meade Portland on the IT. IS and 18th of June for the three-day convention This win be the first national I'D convention. and 1t is the plan of the Yankee division cor poration Of Portland, working with the national headquarters in Bos- ton, to make 1t an outstanding event.
 Portland. officially. through the medium of the press. is appealing to all men who served overseas in the 26th division to make their whereabouts known to the conven- ton headquarters in Portland. or the national headquarters in Bos- ton. Out of respect to the memory of General Clarence R. Edwards. thls city. as well as surviving off, cers Of the division, are eager to complete the roster to the extent of having the name of every liv- ing I'D veteran.
 In addition to the many features planned for the three-day gather ing here. the outstanding event will be the memorial service to General Edwards. and tho dedica- ton of a newly completed park to the former leader of the 2Gth. This service Is to take place on Sunday, June 19, and will be the crowning feature of the celebration. If the desired response is received, I'D
