VOTE FOR THE BOND ISSUE The Cook Counfy Organization cornmittee for the Emergency Relief Bond Issue is organizing this week for the purpose of securing for the $30,000,000 State emergency relief bond issue the large 'iiajority required at the generaL election on November 6. Adoption of this bond issue will not create a new debt. The $28,5W,000 used by the State toward relief of emergency destitution this year, already has been borrowed. The question is: Shall it be repaid by the comn- parativeiy easy method made possible through this bond issue, or shail it be added in one lumip sum to the tax bills payable througbout Illinois next year, adding probably at least $0.63 peç $100 taxable value of property to the tax rates of every locality? It is deemed vitally necessary to organize, a general committee to advise the voters of the im- portance of voting for the $30,000,000 bond issue on the separate "1Emergency Relief Ballot," at the elcction, November 6. Unless this bond issue is approved by a ma- jority of practîcally ail those voting for candidates at thuit election, citizens tbrougbout Illinois will pay ini 1935, a tax of probably at least $0.63* per $100 assessed value>on ail real and personal prop- erty. This tax ($38,000,000 in maximum amount) already fias been levied by the State Legisature for the purpoýe of paying the State anticipation tax notes (r»,500,000) and interest thereon which have been, and in the next. four nîontbs will be, sold to provide the State funds being used this year for relief of the needy in, Illinois. These anticipation notes and interest thereon will be paid from money raised by selling the proposed bond issue, provided the pending bond proposition receives the required large popular majority. In that event the tax already levied (ais ih the relief money is borrowed) will not be extended in the 1934 tax bis, payable in 1935. If the bonds are approved, the amount required annualiy for retirement of principal and payment of interest will be paid in equal amouints f rom the gas tax' allocations to, each county and to the municipalities therein wbich have used relief funds suppiied by this: program,, in proportion1 to the amounts used in-each such côunty and municipality from these-relief funds. ItL should be emphasized that approval of this. bond issue will flot add one cent to the amount of funds available for relief in Illinois. The state funds for. 1934 have been provided and'are now largely cxpended. 'Neither does this committee's action in urging support of this bond issue irnply either approval or disapproval of the particular plan used for supplying the necessary 1934 relief funds. Some of the groups composing this cam- paign committee supported the program before the special legislative session last faîl. wbile others radically dissented. Howver tb -Ily-uesionbeoreus ndthe rest of the voters of Illinois is: -Héw shah we now pay back the money which bas been borrowed anid spent? It wôuld seem lo)gical that iii fairnies to thpr- erytaxpayers wbo âare aiready heavily over-buî- dened, a moral sýesponsibilityr rests upon every citi- zen ta vote for this bond issue and to urge bis fel- lqw citizens to do iikewise. Organizations now represented on the commit- tee for the bond issue include the Civic federation, 'and Bureau of Public Efficiency, Chicago Recov- ççy administrationr, Chicago and Cook County 1'dration of Women's Organizations, Cook County Leaguie of Women Voters, Womian's City Club of Chicago, Illinois State Federatikn.of La- bor, Chicago Real Estate board, Cook County Civic council, Cook County Federation of Women's Clubs, and the Chicago Association of Commerce. .z. . 0 SEE THE FAIR! * It is inconceivable that any person on the north shore, possessed with the necessary funds and physicai ability, would ignore the opportunity to visit A Century of Progress. There may be those who dlaim to be totally disinterested in the "greatest show on earth," but we doubt that tbey could long remain se after hearing from the lips of their neighbors or through the press what wonders are to be beheld at this great world ex- position. Officiais of the Fair have done everything ini their power to bring the exposition within the reacb of any pocketbook, bowever siender, and have constantly reiterated the fact that the best and really worthwhile things at the Fair are free, and can be viewed at the cost of the gate ad- mission fee. Just now the Fair authorities are offering spe- cial inducements to students tbrough the me- dium of a "special educational plan" which will afford hundreds of thousands of students a final opportunity to derive the educational benefits of. the Fait A comprebensive survey bas been coin- ple\fed and arrangements have been concluded to conduct student tours at special _admission rates of- 5 cents for students on such c onducted tours and free admission for conductors of the tours. However, even at the regular price of admission,, one cannot well afford to miss this epochal event, the 1934 Century of Progress. 4'zê Time TO PREPARE According to Township Collecter Sanborn Hale. theý bills for general taxes for 1933 will- probahly. net, be put into collection* until late in the year. the.exact date net yet being announced. Tbis wili give ample tume for property -owners to prepare for the payment. AUl taxing bodies have been struggling along for several years without . kn ow- ing when and f rom wbence the money would corne te permit theni to continue te function. Especially, have the schools boen skcating on thin ice, althougli operating costs bave been cut to the quick. Some of these, netably tbe New Trier High Schoolboard. is almost certain to face a furtber restricted inceme this year. If 'collections sbeuld againi be slow, more stringent hardsbipsý wouldý be imposed upon the. taxing bodies. For this reason it is the patriotic duty of property ewners to make preparations for the prompt payment of the bills wben reçeived",,SO that funds may ipore quickly flew into local chan- nets and place officials in a position to plan for future operatiens. - me*- Assassins 'shot and killed the wrong mani as be sat in a barber's chair.

Carl Eduard, duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, is not nearly so formidable as hie sounds. He is head of the German Red Cross, and visited the metropolis last week. The head of the Red Cross anywhere is always welcome in this n eighiborhood. Corne again, Duke. Congressm an James M.

Showing that there are two ways of looking at it. Those scientist fellows may be of some use after ail. They have discovered vitamin B4, which is touted as a brain' developer, in caives' brains. That explains why the "brain trust" has been killing so mlany of the little calves. Those, if any, persons who have been interested in our vacation adventures, wanderings and meanderings will, perhaps, be glad to know that we are headed toward home. retracing with heavy tread steps so lightly taken, three short weeks ago. Short? We'll say. If you want to sec Father Time do a sprint, just watch him during a three weeks' va- cation. Anyway, we had a grand and glorious time while it lasted. Fspecially in that country called Wilson avenue. There we made lots of friends- while it (the money) lasted. But take it from one who knows, leave that pl1ace. while you still have some coin in your pockets. Some one down there bas our other shirt and socks, and the only thing we got away with besides our Mie was the old umbrella. No one would take that, * even though it rained every day. However, they are a wonderful people. Friendly? Sociable? Ac- commodating? Hospitable? Bah!l Give us an un- friendly, unsociable, unaccommodating, inhospi- table people, They're safer. You know what to expect. Ho, hum! Back to the grind. See you at the old stand neýçt week. "Child can be cured of nearsightedness, doctor %,varns," reads a headline. Wouldn't it be terrible if that should happen? We are now getting our regular sleep again. Mrs. Colvin .has bier divorce. The foreign correspondents report that England and Germany areagain at odds on trade. Can you remembher a tinie where they were not at odds? Cook'county republicans arç going right ahead withplans for an. aggrýessive campaign, regardless ofthe fact that the faîl elections were settled in M.-Cne last week. 'Textile strike leaders, are dem'anding that "C rackdowner" 'Johnson resign pronto, as hie has prc-ved to be out of sympathy with labor. Resign? The very idea! Those working persons surely have the:e nerve. Who do they think they are? "Cuban president, clashes with chief of army," inform.s a headline. There tbey goagain!1
