0ITI7CII0 UAUC DinUT uiiiLLiio iihil muni TO PROTEST AGAINST NEW CITY jAX LEVY . Should Richmond taxpayers desire to contest the action of the city counell last Monday night In authorizing a 23-cent Increase in the municipal tax levy for 1921, from 67 cents to 90 cents, they have the right,' under a law passed by the legislature at its recent, special session, to appeal the city council's action to the county council. The new law has been studied with rnnnlrtprshlp Interest hv cltv officials. ! City Controller Bescher states, however, that up to this time no taxpayers have entered a protest against the increase in the city tax rate. City Needs Revenue Mr. Bescher states that notwithstanding the considerable Increase made In the tax rate the city council was warranted In the action it took because the new rate will provide a revenue for the city In 1921 barely sufficient to meet fixed charges and operating expenses. Under the new tax law any number of citizens, not less than twenty, who are taxpayers, have the right of appealing the action of local taxing officials to the county council. The law reads : Text of Law "Any number of taxpayers, not less than twenty of any municipal corporation, and who are affected by such levies and who may be affected by such levies and who may be of the opinion that the total tax levy of any Item thereof as established by the proper legal officers of such municipal corporation and certified to the state board of tax commissioners is insufficient to yield the revenue necessary to meet the requirements of such municipality, or that more reve-j nue will be raised by the tax levy as established than the requirements of the government, economically administered, warrant, may file a petition with the county auditor of the county in which such municipal corporation is located, not later than the first day -of October, setting forth a showing, in such form and detail as the state board of tax commissioners may pre- ' scribe and require that a necessity exists for an increase or decrease in the total tax levy, or any Item thereof, as the case may be. "Upon the filing of such petition, such county council shall have power to order an increase or decrease in the total tax levy or any item thereof of any municipal corporation upon a proper showing and upon the submission of sufficient evidence, upon hearing, showing that such increase or reduction is warranted, and such hearing 6hall be held by such county coun cil in the court house of the county in which such municipal corporation is located." It is further provided that where a petition is filed by the taxpayers demanding a reduction or increase in tax rate the county auditor shall give ten days' notice, and on October 10th members of the council shall convene to hear such petitions. The county council has final Jurisdiction In the matter and may summon "witnesses to give testimony in appeal cases. The same power for punishing those who fail to regard subpoena service as held by Circuit courts, is vested in the council. Special compensation of $5 a day while sitting in session shall be paid to each member of the body. i Short News of City '- ' Back Pay Soon Word has been received from officials of the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania, that back pay of the wage board award will be paid Foon.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

SOCIALISM NO CURE FOR HURTS OF WORLD, SAYS DR. GULBERTSON "The war has taught us interdependence of nation with nation and industry with industry." declared Dr. H. C. Culbertson, of Ripon college, Wisconsin, in an eloquent addreds Tuesday . afternoon at the Richmond Chautauqua. "America has been welded into one kinship and one fraternity and one brotherhood, and it is to this that the future belongs and. not, to disruption and unrest. The war marked the end of a distinct epoch In the history of civilization." The speaker gave three resons for the industrial unrest that seems to be so prevalent now. They are: Fluc tuation in the value of currency, propaganda of untruths destructive of the rights of private property, and the inevitable consequences of the invention of machinery. "Money is a commodity," said the speaker, "and when there is too much the value of it decreases. Today there Is six or eight times as much money as there was five years ago. National debts have multplied five times, which means an extension of credis which will Inflate currency. The question Is can we stabilize the dollar? We must have a gold. basis for the money and the dollar must be stabilized." Would Make Dollar Flexible. Dr. Culbertson advocated a means by which the dollar shall not represent a certain amount of gold, but that would represent an average of food, clothing, etc., which would remain the same at all times. "We must recognize," he cantinued, "that the invention of machinery has brought about a serious industrial problem. We now have before us three propositions for the cure of the illness of the world, the first or which, "Bolshevism" has failed utterly. "The Bolshevist wants to drive out capital by killing the capitalist. It is a one class government and the laboier of Russia is more of a slave than ever before, and Bolshevism will meet its doom in Russia just as soon as ex ternal pressure is removed. "A second proposal is the platform of the British Labor party, framed during the war, which is the best platform of idealist constructive socialism, before the world today. "It stands for the enactment of a national minimum in wages working conditions, hours, etc., a progressive democratization of industry, an equal possession of the material possessions of a nation by means of common and inheritance taxes, and the use of the surplus that might accrue, for the betterment of social and educational conditions, etc. But Likes Individualism. Against this is reformed individualism in industry, which the speaker earnestly advocated. "Evils in individualism can be cured." "Socialism," he said, "will fail at any time, because of its inherent defects. The speaker went on to explain his opposition to an ideal that has so many conscientious men advocating it, by saying that while in Washington where he was in a position to see how the government ownership works, he became thoroughly opposed. "Socialism would do away with all initiative and enterprise. Government ownership of industry is always inevitably and unavoidably inefficient, because one must choose between partisan appointment or civil service, which is a choice between the lesser of two evils. Civil service is no stimulus on efficiency; it rather puts a premium on laziness. There is no scheme in socialism by which a man of efficiency can be promoted to a position of efficiency. Can Purge Present System "On the other hand individualism can be purged of its evils. Laws are being enacted all over the country to protect the working man. As examples of professions which are gripped by standards which cannot be escaped, Dr. Culbertson pointed out the medical, ministerial and teaching professions. "It is possible for the ideals of socialism to throw us into industrial darkness. We would have organized farmers, organized doctors, organized clothing makers, organized transportation, each telling us to pay their price or suffer. A public opinion must be created which will call for a code of ethics which has for its basis the application of the principles of Christianity," Circuit Court Suit for divorce has been filed by Mary Christman against Frederick Christman in circuit court. She alleges cruel and inhuman treatment. $25,000,000 Company Fails (By Associated Press) CLEVELAND, Sept. 1. Federal Judge Westenhaver today appointed Frank A. Scott and J. O. Eaton receivers for the Standard Parts company, Cleveland, $25,000,000 accessary company, in suit filed by the Erie Malleable Iron company, of Erie, Pa., asking for the appointment of a receiver. LOAN SHARK VICTIMS (By Associated Press) RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 1. That money lenders have apparently gained a great hold on a large number of government employes is indicated by the introduction in the federal chamber of deputies of a bill authorizing a special loan of about $25,000,000, part of which is to bo devoted in liquidating such debts. The bill provides that the treasury shall reimburse itself for the i payment of these debts by deducting I the amount from employes wages in 60 installments and take Interest at six per cent annually on the balance outstanding.

PROSPECT OF FOOD PUTS PLEASURE IN HEARTS OF TEUTONS OLDENZAAL, Netherlands, Sept. 1 Students of the food situation In central Europe hare a good opportunity to observe the effects of a long continued spare diet at this place, which Is the first station on Holland soil after leaving German territory on the main route from Berlin to Amsterdam. Here Germans have the first opportunity to recoup themselves for lost calories. - Fifteen minutes ride to the east, the bill of fare is meager; here it is plenteous and sustaining and the big station restaurant Is dally Jammed with hungry clamorous crowds whose capacity for solid trencher work is amazing. Sandwiches Go Fast Mountains . of white bread sandwiches melt away like snow and from a score of points cries arise for glasses of fresh milk an unobtainable luxury In Germany. The meal here only serves as a preliminary snack for an even more plenteous feast aboard the train. As The Associated Press correspondent was watching the operations. a German theatrical eompany with a contract to fill In Holland was making a vigorous frontal attack on the luncheon counter. The profession in Ger many is in a bad way; salaries are low and living Is correspondingly precarious. Competition for joining touring companies in Holland is keen. Their delight In facing a square meal was pathetic. One, holding aloft a ham sandwich of generous propor tions, declaimed : , "Beautiful, bounti ful Holland! Behold the ham In thy sandwiches is draped in luxurious festoons, far surpassing in beauty and fragrance the roses in the gardens of Semiramis!" One woman sat with folded hands In rapt contemplation of a chunk of fresh butter the size of a brick. "This is truly paradise!" she gasped. AVIATORS ARE SLAIN WHEN PLANE CRASHES (By Associated Press) MORRISTOWN. N. J., Sept. 1. Max Miller, pilot, and Gustave Rierson, mechanician, of Clay, Idaho, were burned to death when a government all-metal mail airplane crashed into the street here today. The plane was bound from New York to Cleveland and was flying low, with the engine backfiring badly just before the accident. An explosion which threw' mail bags hundreds of feet in all directions followed the fall of the machine. The aviators were pinned under the wreckage. No trace of registered matter could be found in the debris, and it is thought it was thrown overboard when the engine trouble had reached serious proportions. Argentine Starts War on"Cattle Rustlers" (By' Associated Press) BEUNOS AIRES, Sept. 1. Vigorous raids on the haunt3 of cattle rustlers by round-up parties representing ranch owners and the authorities are making clandestine brand-changing as unpopular on the pampas as it became on the plains of the orth American West with "the coming o the law." In a round-up Just completed by officers and 98 gauchos, as the hard-riding and tactiturn, brothers of the Texas cowmen are called, 3,000 head of cattle have been recovered with brands that showed signs of "funny work." This was in the province of Beunos Aires, the most populous of the Argentine provinces. From the less settled provinces also there come from time to time reports of rustling and summary punishments that lead one to think of the old Wyoming or Idaho days. The rolling pampas of Argentina, scarcely ever broken by the sight of a tree, have had much the same history as the North American western plains. In past years, especially in the more distant provinces, the cattle rustler at times flourished. One picturesque outcome of this in the past was the effort of the Welsh colonies amoUg1 the foothills of the Andes of Pategonia to set up an independent authority because rustling was not put down by the government.

SUFFRAGE SITUATION IS ALL TANGLED UP; TENN. TAKES IT BACK

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 Action ol the lower home of the Tennessee legislature yesterday In voting nonconcurrence In the ratification of the woman's suffrage amendment is held by state department officials as creating a legal tangle with which the state department had nothing to do al this time. Officials said they contemplated no action whatever on their own volition. They would not disclose legal, phases of the question. Meanwhile the application filed In the District of -Columbia supreme court at the instance of the national Constitutional league, seeking to restrain Secretary Colby from proclaiming ratification of the 19th amendment, was dismissed today on motion of the applicant. This suit was filed after the Tennessee lower house had voted for ratification. Counsel for the league, Alfred Smith, Bald the previous similar action filed before the Tennessee house voted, and which is pending on appeal before the court of appeals here, raised the points necessary. Refer It to Highest Court The appellate court would be asked, he said, to refer the action to the supreme court of the United States in order that final decision would be had with as little delay as possible upon the status of the federal suffrage amendment. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 1 Conflicting views were held today by leaders In the Tennessee legislature as to the probable effect of the house action yesterday in expunging from its journal all record ot ratification of the federal suffrage amendment and voting not to concur with the senate In ratifying the amendment A number of the members of the--, legislature and state officials ex ' pressed the opinion that legality of Tennessee's ratification would be decided not on the action taken by the house yesterday but on the record certified by Governor Roberts to Washington. Governor Roberts declined to comment on the situation, while State's Attorney General Thompson expressed the belief that reconsideration ot the. ratification resolution was impossible. since it had been adopted by both the house and senate and their action already had been certified to Secretary of State Colby. Antis Are Silent Anti-suffragists refused to say whether an attempt would be made to have the senate reconsider its ratification vote also. After voting to expunge record of ratification from the journal, the house voted 47 to 24 to non-concur with the senate's action in approving the amendment. Twenty house members dig not vote.
