ularize" taxpaying. Maybe that is the
wrong word, but what he wanted to
do was make taxes more digestible.
Followed, then, the enlistment Of
newspapers, radio, movie houses and
any other avenue of publicity that
suggested itself-the posters in City
Hall are part OF the scheme-and an
nually now a tax collection campaign
is carried on in June.
Skits dramatizing the spectacular
side Of police and fire work; the in
dispensable services of hospitals and
classrooms, and portrayals Of other
civic functions, fill the air and eye.
Silver discs the size of a dollar,
with pie cuts" showing the distribu-
ton of tax funds, and bearing the slo-
gan, You get more for your tax dol
lar than any other dollar you spend, +"
was one of the publicity devices Of the
last drive
Then, too, emphasis is laid on the
fact that early payment of taxes offers
discount rates, while late payments
bring penalties
We've gotten the public educated" :"
Mr.. Young says, summing up "Peo-
pie like our plan, and I feel it is help
full. Take, for instance, man who
may lose his job, have sickness in the
family, and then runs into a tax bill
II he can come down here and get

effect has been particularly noticeable
in the first half Of each year. Taxes
do not become delinquent until July /,
and penalty payments are not applica-
bic until August !. As might be ex-
pected, consequently, revenue formerly
did not begin to come In in any VOL
ume until the headlines were approach
ing. That meant 4 skimpy exchequer
until midyear. necessitating borrowing
for current needs.
Has Kept Taxes Down.
Ability to keep expenses down also
has lowered taxes. A Scent drop has
gone into effect on real estate and per-
sonal property. lowering the rate from
$3.50 to $2.56 on January /. The
tangible rate stands at As cents on the
500, of which IS cents goes to the
State.
Tax delinquencies have been reduced
by approximately 80 per cent. For
example, Baltimores tax bill for 1887
was $32, 700, 900, and as Of November
l, the total arrears were $3,2O4, ,525O5.
This latter figure covered not only the
current years arrearage, but that for
two preceding years, as payments may
be delayed three years before fore
closure proceedings are instituted.
That Is, in instances, three years
may be allowed, for the State makes
this permissive with the city collector,
but Mr.. Young has his own ideas
about that.
If an owner shows a disposition to
make payments, within his means, and
keeps his property in good condition,
the collector goes along" and gives
all the leeway the law allows. But
when, as was happening in some in
stances in Mr.. Young's early days,
owners only kept possession as long
Is they could get any revenue at all
out Of their property. letting it 60 to
ruin In the meantime, and then
dumping it on the city, the mild man
nered Official clamped down.
Either pay your taxes or get that
place fixed up in 80 days" was the
warning he gave this class of de-
linquents. II neither was done, the
city took possession.
Firmness Is Needed.
Yes, indeed, there were complaints"
Mr.. Young replied to. a question, "but
we went through with it. In fact.
whenever We announce q course of
action it is carried out, for frmness
is needed in this business.
"And some OF those VINO howled
loudest later expressed their approval
Of the idea. 1t not only helped their
own property. but it likewise kept up
the values Of that surrounding it,"
Mr.. Young employs inspectors,
armed with cameras, who visit any
place that falls Under suspicion.
Photographs are taken and then
studied by the collector. If he decides
that building repair work is necessary,
1t Is ordered.
When the city forecloses, the prop
erty is decided to the new owner A
year and = day after sale. Prior to
that it may be reclaimed on payment
Of whatever indebtedness rests against
1t, plus interest at 6 per cent.
'Popularised" Taxpayins.
Mr.. Young was not content to rest
on the early success Of the installment
plan, however Being one of them. he
knew that the average taxpayer makes
out his check with the same a,ac-
rity with which he sits down in the

regard 1taly's withdrawal as a further

sources said Premier Mussolinis an

French officials called the action
a logical consequence" of Italian ad-
herence to the anti Communist pact
with Germany and Japan.
Diplomats representing the Little

Yugoslavia and Rumania) said Italy
withdrawal would clarity the picture
every one will know just where he

Some of them hazarded a guess
that Italy's action, instead of being
dangerous for France, may prove a
blessing" since "the League now can

operation for eventual war, which
dictators will force upon them"
Bigger War Feared.
In Moscow Soviet circles expressed
belief that Italy's retirement from
the League of Nations indicated a
bigger war than the Chinese -Japa-
nese conflict was brewing.
They pointed out that Italy, by
quitting the League, would feel her
self relieved Of her obligations under
its covenant.
The inspired press indicated it was
considered "Self-evident that this step
on the part of Italy has been taken
in agreement with Germany and ia
pan, possibly as result of Halifaxs

Minister) talk with Hitler"
1T is believed the bloc Of Fascist
aggressors may be attempting to set
itself in opposition to the League OF
Nations for purposes of blackmail, "
said identical comment in several
papers, including the Moscow News.
1T also is felt the bloc is preparing
for some new extended aggression and
is taking the precaution of relieving
itself of insignificant obstacles con-
nected with Italy's formal member
ship in the League"
Berlin Expresses Satisfaction.
In Berlin, news of Italy's with
drawal was received with extreme
satisfaction.
That Premier Mussolini's step was
taken in close accord with Berlin was
disclosed by the National Zeitung,
published by Col. Gen. Hermann Will
helm Goering, which said Italy's fu-
ture foreign policy was framed in an
agreement with Chancellor Hitler last
September.
Vienna government and legation
officials agreed that Italys action was
serious blow, but did not at all mean
the League was finished.
The concensus definitely seemed to
be that Austria and Hungary, Italy,s
ally, would not follow Italy's example
principally because OF League loans
and other financial relations with the
League.

ing and starts an account in precisely
the same fashion as if dealing with q
bank. He receives pass book which
constitutes his record, and the city
sets up a single ledger card for the
account. Every time payments are
made, the book and card are run to-
gether through a machine; a single
operation posts both, and that is all
there is to it.
When the plan went into effect
one cashier was employed to admin
lister it; today, there are three. The
entire installment unit is operated al

Expert Testimony Convincing.
Naturally. Mr.. Young would be ex-
pected to speak well of his own crea-
ton, and the fact that he and the
Mayor are installment payers might
not add up to any more than a doc
tor taking his own medicine.
But here is what amounts to expert
| testimony:
Mr.. Young was showing q visitor
around the Office when a woman ap-
preached one of the cashiers cages to
make payment of Sc.
What do you think of this INSTALL
ment idea?" she was asked.
Il like it all right" was the response

was posting her account:
This is not my property that I'm
paying taxes on. 1t belongs to my
husbands folks, and we are helping
them out. We simply couldn't do it.
except by small payments and don't
know what they would have done"
And this, say members Of Mr.
Young's staff, is not an isolated in
stance.
And here are some of the more
tangible results:
| Because of the advance payments
which thrifty citizens store up against
each January /, when taxes become
due. the city now customarily has 6
reserve of about $50o,o00 on hand
Parenthetically, it might be remarked
that any bank serving as depository

Sport Stunts
 1n HkR
Forrest Towns pondered

My biggest thrill? Well . :. I think it was the touchdown I scored on Louisiana State :. :"
 The boy had won every possible high hurdling honor. He held Olym- pic, national, intercollegiate cham pionships. He had authored world records. It was a surprise to learn he had had his big moment on the gridiron.
 Towns brief pigskin career last autumn was interrupted on the eve of the Georgia Bulldogs depart ure for the New York U. game. An appendix operation not only kept him off the football field for the rest of the season, but kept him off the winter board tracks, as we'll.
 He Used to High Jump
 Now the boy who holds the worlds record of Al seconds for the l20- yard and 110-meter hurdles is set on cutting the mark. Fourteen sec- onds flat is his immediate objec- tive. He was timed in 13.7 over the l10-meter barriers while on tour after the Olympics, but the feat was not submitted for recognition.
 Towns had no ambitions to be- come a hurdler when he reported for freshman track at Georgia. He was a high jumper-only a fair one.
 WeemS Baskin, former national hurdling champion and assistant track coach of the Bulldogs, came along. Te thought he saw hurd- Ter in Towns.
 Work and Study Did It
 In two years, Forrest developed from an awkward, uncertain hurdle hopper into an athlete of champion ship caliber.
 Perhaps Towns had latent na- tural talent. Certainly he worked hard. He studied the form of lead ing murders. He developed a style suited to his own physique. He placed pebbles on the hurdles and tried to skim them off. He worked constantly to iron out faults and to gain speed. Now, at the top of his field, he works as hard as ever.
 The l4-second mark is within his reach.
