Foreign Representative Carpenter & Company, 122 Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Fifth Avenue Bldg., New York City. N. Y.-Life Bldg., Kansas City, Mo MR. MIESSE TALKS TAXES: — Secretary Harry Miesse, of the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association, in a letter to President Dyer, of the lx>wer Taxes-Less Legislation League, places hi» finger very definitely upon the vital spot in the general campaign for reduced governmental expendi tures. Public speeches, parades, newspaper publicity, editorial admoni tions are not and can not do what is. after all. the essential thing. Th< only effective way to lower govern ment costs and so bring about a re duction of taxes is thorough organiza tfon of taxpayers which will them selves scrutinize budgets, tax levies and bond issues. And not only sera tinize them, but make their opinion? known to those who are conducting the public affairs. Says Mr. Mioasff: “Indiana has a budget law which is unlike that in effect in any other state, in that )’ affords to taxpayers the right of ap pi-.il from tax levies and Ixmd issues This provision in law attorn* an or ganization of taxpayers an opportunity for effective work which is not pos slble in states where such legal righ’ • of the taxpayers does not exist. A few weeks ago the legislature of the state of lowa enacted a budget law with provision for appeal by taxpay evs which, in its main provisions, ir modeled after the Indiana law. \V< bav<i not yet seen a final copy of th? bill, but we are Informed that the aet contains some provisions whirl are an Improvement on the Indiant statute. We now have local organ! gallon* effected In forty-eight of thr ninety-two counties of Indiana. • • * In round figures, all state and loca’ taxes paid in Indiana in 1921 amount , cd to Illl.tHMi.’Hfo In 1923. *IU,MO and In »24. $124 .000,000. Thiel shows an increase of a little more, than 3 per cent. In the first two yean and an Increase of nearly 9 per cent j in this present year. During this per iod the'taxpayer* of Indiana hav« Iteen supplied with a larger volume of m |iceches and newspaper publicity generally advocating economy am' the reduction of taxes than at any time In the state’s history, tn ths’ same period we have had the larges increase <>t any time since the stiri den increase which came Immediate ly following the world war." These facts. It is argued, indicate that public speeches and editorial 1 advocating economy In a genera! wax are not" doing the work and that therefore, the only effeutlve way li for an organization of taxpayers tr apply their efforts to the actual t rtf •lay of budgets, levies and bond is, »•**.

Face to Face r. r With Cardinal r William 11. O’Connell Senior Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church in America ) (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) ‘ Returning recently from his first trip to the Holy Lund, His Eminence. ’ Cardinal William H. O’Connell, Dean i of the American Catholic hierarchy tnd Archbishop of Boston, was given t greeting worthy the Senior Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church in America. In his home on Rawson Road, Brookline. Massachusetts, I had a glimpse >f His Eminence, deep in the work 'hut touches the welfare of his people. Horn in Lowell, Massachusetts, his rise to eminence has been shadowed 'n a simplicity ami democratic mod*sty that marks him as a man of leeds rather than words. The Massachusetts boy had his (reams of doing things for others' while serving as curate in the West' 'Snd of Boston, among the plain peo-' >le whom he has ever loved. His ieep spiritual nature led him to aj 'undamental study of mankind. From I •arly youth he was a student of* anguages and his advancement was I •apid. for he knew how to translate; tot only words frbm tongue to tongue. ( buX how to interpret the understand-j ng between men. During the reign of Pope Leo, the' Thirteenth, the master mind of Eur I ff>e at that time, he was a student at I hy American College in Home. His dx years in Rome did not dim the' nthusiastic Americanism and pa-' j riotism for which Cardinal O’Connell. 1 s noted. The American Academy which on-!' toted his arden? enthusiasm has prov-l •d a true resurgence of the work ofhe great masters of antiquity—for he younger artists. Returning to America as Bishop of; 1 'ortland. he was selected as legate' l >f Pope Pius the Tenth to the Mikado «f Japan and effected a most success-j 1 ul diplomatic mission. At the age of orty-twu he was made Archbishop of.i k*ston. succeeding to the See the fol ! owing year. At thr age of fifty-two , w was wearing the red hat of Cardtnd. A forceful orator, with a logic and : incerity irresistible, his reputation' I s an educator, builder und patriot ish ■niversally recognized. Through his, i emmanding executive ability he ha* - •ceomplished great results for his j i hurch. His avocation is music and ' ic has compoaad many patriotic and < eligious hymns. Hii "Praeclara; 1

I ' X. I f I €3? 1 r’ FlWit ■ v . * j i /W' : i CARDINAL O’CONNELL says: ‘‘After all is raid and done the . first concern of the country is the . family—father, mother and children —the earthly trio." Custos,” written as u student in Rome, is regarded as a masterpiece , of sacred music. His favorite hymns j are “Dies Irae” and “Lead Kindly Light,” hymns associated with the j memory of McKinley and Harding. In his wide travels in Europe an 1 | the Orient. Cardinal O’Connell has a I clear concept of the world mind. In I his sermons, recently published, ar • la chronological glimpse of the great I problems of the -times that concern i Christianity, His breadth of view in | these crisp sermons efilisted th ■ hearty commendation of Bishop Ed- ’ win Hughes of the Methodist Episcopal Church, showing that in the work ■ of broad humanity in these days the I world is drawing closer together in : its sympathetic ideals. The Cardinal is a large man. with' clear brown eyes and most kindly 1 mannered, but withall a man of force* and reserve, power and discipline. I A patriot to the core, his first concern has been for the family und the home. “After all is said and done, the first concern of the country id the family—father, mother ami children. the earthly trio, which in the distinctness of its personalities and! as a unit of this common I’fe. should boa powerful if a remote reflection of the Holy Trinity.” While a devout student aud think or. Cardinal O’Connell keeps in touch] with current events. The high bon-1 ors and distinctions that have come to him as senior Cardinal dutve never outshone the simplicity and s'veetness of the man. wboleaouled.j b‘g and broad in a catholicity of pur l pose and Jmpv.l*-- that has given him] a deserved popularity among people! extending far beyond the bounds the membership of his church. II st work, first tend last, glows with the power and strength of a leader who! lights the pathway to understanding.]

Boys Steal Ice Cream From Back Porches Most everyone Expects lioyish tricks and prunks out of an American, boy, but within the past week or two certain boys have been "pulling" a few tricks which are greatly resented by the women. Within the past week when the women were entertaining bridge and other social clubs boys have taken the ice cream from the back- porch and without doubt helped themselves to the refreshnents. When it came time for the hostess to serve refreshments the ice •ream was gone. The theft of the 'Ce cream is considered a trick, low■r than expected of the average boy ind far below the standard of the Xmercian boy who should at all times be a gentleman and not a thief.
