OUR CHILDREN IN MINNEAPOLIS

certain extent, subject to a consider

tricts, housing conditions may not be
just what they ought to be- While
we do not have to live in the thickly
congested tenement blocks of large
cities, nevertheless keen eye must
be kept on the little ones to see that
they have proper and healthful recrea-

Children's Aid Society provide for the

Negro must struggle upward against
almost insurmountable handicaps it
is our social duty to make some COM
pensation to his children. 1t is mot
matter of likes or dic.ikes." The
Negro is here. He will doubtless
continue to come to this city and
other great cities in increasing num-
bers. His. economic, physical and
moral status cannot be isolated"
''If he is poor and ignorant. his
poverty and ignorance must be car

normal. his disease is a menace to the
whole community. If the children are
delinquent, they are a liability which
all of US must carry. $50 We are all
in the same boat whether we like it
or not"

BUSH BREATHES
FIRE AT CRITICS
Challenges Politicians to
Solve Tax Riddles.

Something besides his GOAT tails
will have to be shown by Senator
James E. Watson in solving the
taxation and economic dilemma in
Indiana, if Lieutenant Governor
Edgar D. Bush carries out a plan
announced by him in the senate
Monday afternoon.
Smarting under what he termed
unjust criticism" of alleged legisla-
tive insction, Bush accepted the
challenge that Governor Harry G..
Leslie might come to the legislators
and stir them to activity by WELD
ing the big stick"
Bush said that such action from
Leslie would be welcome, if the Gov
ernor has a plan that will move
faster than present senate progress.
Then he continued on what might
be constructed as the Watson angle,
in light of Watson saying he would
show nothing but his coat tails to
Hoosier governmental problems now.
Before long I believe that 1 will
ask in writing every candidate on
both state tickets to come here and
give us the benefit of his govern
mental wisdom and leadership"
Bush declared.
Il announced publicly some time
before that 1 favored such a move
and now I will invite them person.
ally. They are the ones who must
carry on the government during the
next four years and we should have
the advantage of their wisdom

Mann Cuts Operating Costs

Own Salary.

Slashing operating costs 500 ,S29,
Charles W. Mann, county highway
superintendent, today submitted a
budget request providing elimina-
ton of the 1888 tax levy for the
highway department.
His action will cut at least l cent
from the county tax rate, now 90
cents.
Expense of his department in 1893
will be met by money collected from
the state gasoline tax fund and by
using a $4,000 balance from the
1882 budget, he said.
This balance plus $50, gasoline
tax money will make the s125,O0O
estimated cost of operating the de-
partment, Mann estimates.
Mann's budget was pruned ap-
proximately IS per cent, while
many other county officials budgets
call for increased appropriations.
County commissioners, who raised
Mann's estimate of Z cent high
way levy to IL cents last year,
must approve the highway budget.
Since they are bound to an economy

they will attempt any increases.
