NEW CHICAGO TAX
SYSTEM APPROVED
Cook County Legislators
Adopt Plan to Abolish
Board of Assessors.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January Cook Coun.
ty's legislative delegation met the crisis
In government finances today with the
first step to restore the public conf
dence deemed essential to break the
taxpayers strike"
BY a vote of 43 to IL, amid a chorus
of cries against yielding home rule
to down-State political power, the leg
tslators approved a revised measure TO
abolish the elective boards Of assessors
and review and set up new tax ma
chinery.
If the General Assembly adopts the
plan of its Chicago members, the Gov
ernor and the president of the county
Board will be given power to choose
each one member of Board of Re-
view Together, the same officials will
name single assessor. But the scheme
formulated by Gov. Enmerson and civic
leaders was amended to retain the pres
ent village and township assessors in
the 81 subordinate governments within
Cook County.
Change Held Imperative.
Bankers and civic advisers had held
this change imperative If Chicago and
the county, lowering on the brink of
bankruptcy and deprived of any chance
OF immediate tax collections, are to
escape ruin.
IF the people are not paying taxes
because Of inaccuracies in the tax roll, 4"
Melvin A. Traylor, president of the First
National Bank, had told the General
Assembly recently, land If the roll is
inaccurate because Of the system, and
If credit can only be restored by pay
ing our debts, then my personal feel
ing is that the beginning point is to
change the system of assessments"
AS the lawmakers debated the plan
today, some Of them bitterly opposing
the delegation of appointive power to
the Governor, Representative James
Barbour said:
Every banker says credit will not be
restored until the taxing machinery is
changed. Cook County and the State
will smash If something isn't done"
Verdict Alarms Officials.
Meanwhile, the county assessors and
commissioners worried together over
the year-end verdict of County Judge
Edmund K. Jarech holding the 1928
assessment, on which tax bills for 1928,
1929 and 1880 were based, grossly fraud
Clent and invalid because no effort was
made to list personal property for taxes
Charles E. Fox, director of apprais-
ais said personal property cannot be
taxed under existing law. for taxing Of
flc!als are without power to subpoena
property owners and question them un-
der oath. With $4,000, 10000 worth
of personal property, much of it intan-
Riole wealth, in the county, the assessors
can only invite the citizenry to sched-
ule it for taxation, he said.

compensation was required, and, al
though the owners received $4,000 IN
payment for the public reservations, the
Southland report pointed out that this
sum was not drawn from the general
Treasury, nor one cent Of 1t contributed
bv the people of the United States. The
whole of it was taken out of the pro-
ceeds of the sales of the building lots,
which had also been secured by the
Government in the contract with the
land owners"
"It thus appears" the report of Sem
ator Southland continued, that the peo-
pie of the United States have paid
nothing for all their public lots, nor
for the property in the streets. They
procured them. and now own them
without the expenditure OF a single
dollar"
That committee in 1885 estimated the
value of the public grounds at between
ST, ,00O,000 and S1,500O0O. In the erec-
ton of buildings and other improve
ments on these grounds for national
use" the Government spent $l,214,-
29298 prior to the destruction Of the
Capitol in 1914 and $2l27, ,800.94 from
that date to 1885, or in all, $3,342,-
093.92. This led the committee to COM
ment that "the Government now owns
in lands and buildings, exclusive of the
building lots, between four and five mil
lions worth of property which is sub
ject to no assessment or taxation"
Would Use Money From Lots.
The building lots the Government
had received numbered 10,l36. In its
study of the situation in 1885
the committee found the following
or ,rtifh vl IN
from the sale of building lots up to
that time, $741 02445; lots given to
charitable and literary institutions,
$4,000; lots still undisposed of, on the
basis of the 1924 assessment, worth
$109, ,221.84; grants received by the Gov
ernment from Maryland and Virginia
in 1890 and 1871, $4,000. These items
amounted to SLIP ,24629, and the
committee added that If it be a cor
rect estimate to value the public res
ervation at $1,500000, the total would
be $2,612,246.29. 1t was further pointed
out that large part of the money re-
ceived had been enjoyed by the Govern
ment for many years without interest,
since the larger portion of the lots were
sold prior to 1894. The committee,
therefore, suggested that the Nation
could help relieve the city from its
financial difficulties of that early period
by using part Of those donated assets
without taking from the Treasury funds
drawn from the citizens Of the country.
The Southard Committee did not
overlook the fact that Congress had
made some specific appropriations at
different times prior to that year for
objects in Washington, but stated in
its report that it did not regard "the
greater part of them as proper deduc-
tions from the amount which has been
received from the grants made to the
Government"
That the Mapes Committee failed to
catch or in its report transmit the really
significant features Of the Southard re-
port can be seen by comparing its brief
been quoted above.

Fixed Responsibility Necessary.

The history of the Capital has dem
onstrated that the contributions of the
Nation and the community should be
definite and related, especially when all
authority is vested in one partner-the
Nation-and the other partner has no
function but to present his plea and
then abide by the result, whatever it
may be.
That the definite percentage rule was
a necessary measure OF protection for
the local taxpayer after the taxing
power was taken over by the Nation
has been amply shown by the expert
ence of the last eight fiscal years un-
der the lump-sum device of Federal
contribution. For, with the obligation
no longer on the national partner to
furnish a proportionate part Of each
dollar appropriated. the total appro-
priated annually has mounted steadily
During these eight years that the
national partner has relieved itself OF

FOOD VALUES"
POST-PRESENT
Age of Galleries Gone
Food No Longer Matter
of Heat Units

The coming to light of q COM
parative table (much In vogue al
an earlier date) showing the value
OF a quart of milk In terms OF
other foods, serves to emphasize
the strides which have been made
in the science Of nutrition, and
our Interpretation OF the term
food values"
The audacity of saying that one
quart Of milk Is equal in food
value to pounds of turnips,
pounds Of salt cod fish, Ia pound
of wheat -four, s eggs, 2 pounds of
potatoes or Z pounds of lettuce is
unbelievable in the light of our
present knowledge. Yet such tables
were frequently used as shown by
the careful filing of one such in
the archives of important papers!
That was the era of calories-when
the only criterion of a foods value
was it's available heat units.
No other food Gin no matter
what quantity Is equal to milk.
Milk Is the richest source of cal
cium needed for bone growth and
tooth development. Milk has pro-
tein of high biologic value. Whole
milk contains fat which is superior
to all other fats because it carries
vitamin A. so essential to growing
tissues and a protective against In
| fections.
In these days when health must
be safeguarded no other foods can
be compared to milk for its pro-
lection against nutritional deficien-
cles. Professor Henry c. Sherman
has suggested that in the present
emergency the dietary could we'll
"be built around bread and milk,
supplemented by a little of some
| inexpensive fruit or vegetable"

The biggest problem before the
homemaker Of to-day Is to make
her kitchen work easier. since 80
per cent of her time Is spent In
preparing and clearing away meals.
The New Haven county farm bu-
reau under the direction of Miss
Frances Whitcomb. home demon
stration agent, has arranged a CAM
paign and contest on Kitchens with
the help of Miss Gladys Stratton
home management specialist. al
Connecticut Agricultural college.
Letters and bulletins discussing
various changes that may be made
to add to the convenience of a
Kitchen are being sent out about
every two weeks to the women In
the county.
The points stressed in the cam
paign are the following:
/. Location and attractive
ness of the kitchen.
2. Natural and artificial
light and ventilation.
3. Water supply and waste
disposal.
4. Arrangement of work CEN
tiers.
B. Adequate storage space.
6. Interior finishes of the
kitchen.
Many OF these changes may be
made without much expense, just
little thought and labor will
often make the difference between
convenient and inconvenient
work shop. For instance, that low
work table which has brought on
many a backache could be raised
to the proper height by blocks or
casters.
A little light paint on the wood
work and ceiling will make a
dreary kitchen appear airy and
charming. The stove near the sink
and the work table near the supply
cupboard will save numerous trips
across the kitchen.

IA WEEKS menus
TO SAVE MONEY
Planning Meals for the
Week Is Decidedly
Economical
BY JOSEPHINE b. GIBSON
Home Economic Expert)

While some women always plan
their menus for a whole week in
advance, most OF us find 1t more
satisfactory to plan the entire meal
only a day or two ahead of time.
However, 1t is good idea to de-
eide upon the meat dishes for at
least an entire week. Then, when
you are ready to work out the daily
menus, you will find always at
hand an idea from which to start.
Also, by planning the meet
dishes for several days in advance.
you may avoid serving the same
main course too frequently. While
it is decidedly more economical,
too, II meat dishes are selected well
in advance SO that full advantage
can be taken Of purchasing oppor-
tunities. For example, when. one
knows definitely that she will
serve meat pie on Monday, one
simply buys larger roast for Sum
day, and then uses the leftover
meat for the meat pie, instead OF
going to market a second time.
Below am suggesting meat
dishes for one week. Build your
menus for next week around them,
and see how much easier this
task will be:
SUNDAY: Roast beef with
Yorkshire pudding Place the
beef in q rooster with a peeled
onion. Add / tablespoon water.

Then reduce heat and bake in a

five-pound roast will require about
1 1-2 hours to be well done, or
about 1 hour and twenty minutes
to be rare. If sprinkled with
French dressing the day before
roasting, meat will be more tender
and juicy. Basic while baking
with hot water, to which has been

shallow pan about IL inch deep.
Bake twenty minutes in q hot
