The article on interfaith develop

the Roman Catholic hierarchy Of
all forms of racial bigotry; and
various statements of Catholic

 "Today in most taxing units ex- penditures are at 6 point where no known system of taxation will pro- duce the required money, and we finance government by deferred taxes and mounting government debt," Major OleS asserted.

 After their ten years of experi- ence with an overall limitation, 709o of the people of Washington favor the measure, recently re'en- acted with Q majority in every pre- cinct, Major Oles said. In 1881, when the measure was adopted, tax delinquencies were so heavy that counties and other taxing districts were trying to get along with as low as 35es of the amount levied.

 The telephone on her desk began to ring and she smiled at Miss Matte, motioning her to leave the room. "11l bring the dress to the sewing room for any final stitches" l" she promised, picking up the re- ceiver.
 "Yes?"
