District Pastor Urges
Churches 10 Give Up
Exemption on Taxes

A District pastor yesterday
called on churches to take the
lead in seeing that some of their
enterprises are taxed so as to
spread more equitably the tax load
of the Nation.
The Rev. j. A. Leatherman of
Hamline Methodist Church in his
sermon declared that churches
drawing income from farms. busi-
nesseS, industries, property or
other sources should have them
taxed.
"The tax load has grown greater
and is a heavy burden on the aver
age citizen" Mr.. Leatherman said.
"I believe church institutions
should pay their own way as far
as taxes are concerned"
The preacher pointed out that
a recent article in the Christian
Century noted that in Milwaukee
religious and fraternal organiza-
tions own a sixteenth of all city
property.
"An amount of $2,500,000 an
nually in taxes are exempt in these
projects" he said. THAT Is there
by taken out of the pocket of the
average citizen. The article sug-
gests that in Washington, with its
Government. church. charitable
and other 'free-riding' organiza-
tions, the amount is much greater" "
Mr.. Leatherman urged that the
whole question be restudied with
an aim to determine which church
possessions should be taxed and
which should be exempt. He also
called on his own congregation to
take the lead in reviewing the sit
uation ''in spite of other heavy
financial obligations we have"

/ DUBLIN. Ireland. April 1.-THE
Irish, fully free Of British rule at
/ last, face the future with q light
heart, a world full Of friends and
money In the bank.
| Many problems confront them,
but they face these unafraid.
They closed the books yesterday
on 7S0 years of rule by q foreign
power, and they feel the future
will be what they make 1t. They
! intend to make 1t good one.
individually the people are poor,
but they have every hope they
won't stay that way.
| They still look darkly at six
counties of Ulster which have
chosen to stay in the British Com
monwealth. The Irish call this
their No. / problem-to draw
those counties into the free Re-
public of Ireland. President Sean

that goal reached within q gen.

economically, free Ireland Is

duce than the Irish can produce,

Ireland has an army. rich IN

nations of her size. The standing
army numbers about 5000 men,
we'll trained and disciplined.
There is an officer for every four
men in the ranks to give the
basis for swift expansion If need
arises.
It is a small but complete
ground force, backed by an air
arm of Spitfires and Hurricanes
and a force of naval gunboats.
Prices Lower Than New York's.
The 2,500,000 Irish who danced
and sang and shouted to celebrate
their independence yesterday are
intent on earning q living, and
business Is good again.
Prices are lower than In New
York. A two-pound loaf Of bread
costs sixpence Go cents). A f1ve-
pound beef roast can be had for
less than 50. Cigarettes cost about
the same as Americans pay for
their popular brands. A bottle Of
Irish whisky costs IS and a bottle
Of beer Is cents.

Meat, Potatoes
Appeal AS A
New TWOSOme

Meat with potatoes ASIAN accom-
paninent is not the only way to
serve this favorite twosome. Try
serving the two in combination,
suggests Reba Stages, well-known
food authority. Some delicious new
dishes for the family table are the
result.
A scalloped potato casserole with
iDeral slices or chunks of ham or
eaay-to-serve meat is one sugges-
ZION Miss Stages offers. Or you
nignt bake scalloped potatoes with
Topping of Drowned pork chops.
Stiil another idea is to wrap thin
ices Of baked or "boiled'' ham
round hot potato salad, then heat
priefiy in the oven. Or YOU might
serve a casserole of ham, sweet
potatoes and diced apples. A
meat m potato combination which
you may or may not have tried is
creaned meat, such as dried beef
on baked potatoes.
