Uieste figures are contained in a leso- • -' -tation ft^opted'by the Board of Com- . iuissioners of Cook County copies of ;Y ywhicji were sent to the Genera! As- Y-* dfcmbjy of the State of Illinois for the ;-p^rpi>se of urging the" Legislature at .tte present special session to pass a saies,' tax for raising additional rev- -«nue.- The figures above represent -only the amounts in default in Cook < County. In addition to this indebted^ *fess lare the out: landing bonds issued oy the City of Chicago, the schools, Ae Sanitary District, Cook Co«nty, ";>^-i|>d fa*T governmental bodies. ;Oww One .-Third of Billion. . v.-Cook County's .one-third of a billion ilollars in default consists, according ""4# thie statement of the county commissioners, of $196,118,522.23 of outstanding anticipation tax warrants, ^9,646,678.95 of unpaid bills, $36,~ "347, 118.82 of unpaid salaries and a. "total .of $11,0S3,107.40 of defaulted principal and interest payments on bonds. The Cook County Board of "^Commissioners which corresponds to "the Board of Supervisors in downstate counties, in their resolution, give in •<fetail the various making up ."•fce total obligations enumerated. To make matters worse Cook 'Ctounty owed on September 6, 1932, a total of $36,000,000 to the State of Illinois for delinquent state taxes frorg 1S28 to the present time and this amount is not- included in! the statement of the Cook County Board. If , it were included the total amount of <iebts in default in Cook County would increased to mora than $370,- *«J0, 000. Failure of. Cdok County to pay "t&ese taxes "has crippled the functions , the luinois state government and 1* proving costly to downstate which lifts paid its taxes regularly. Because <lS Cook County's failure to pay taxes ^lt has been necessary for the state officials to borrow $11,000,000 on antici. Jtotion tax warrants and this money lias been taken, from the state high? *- - 'Way funds. Had Chicago .paid its "taxes the same as downstate, these "borrowings would not have been nec- ^ eesary and besides employment could Tlave been given to thousands of ad- «Btional men the present seas«a III tlighway construction. Relief Bills Expemdre. . - - In addition to the $370,000,000 in - defaulted obligations in Cook County "tibe state legislature at the request of the Chicago committee appointed by Hayor Cermak raised $18,750,000 by tile sale of anticipation tax warrants ' tf©r the purpose of providing for the Unemployed and needy of the state. Of this sum which was obtained on *tate credit, 94 per cent has been used in Cook County and only 6 per «ent downstate and unless the $20,- 000,000 bond issue bill carries in the November election, the entire amount Off the $18,750,000 will be added to the tftx levy next year, nearly doubling the state tax on thi3 one item. Fifty- •even counties of the state which did Oot receive any of the money, will be Inquired to pay their full share although Cook County received nearly . *11 of the funds. The indications are "that the bond isr/e will not carry be- -cause the Chicago newspajfjrs and the "Chicago commit^e are not carrying, •«i a campaign in its favor as prom-, laed the Legislature by the Cermak committee- Even Judge Horner and ltfs slate candidates on the Cermak state ticket have made no mention of the proposed bond issue except in a few towns whei-e they have be«n <*e- "ferely criticized for their failure to keep their promises. Doubling of the state tax next year will be an envit- •ble result. * . * State's Credit Used. -- -- I n a d d i t i o n t o s t a t e r e l i e f f u n d s the * state has borrowed $9,000,000 from tfee Federal government for state relief purpose® and likewise 94 per cent Off the money has been spent in Chicago and only 6 per cent downstate. ~ Of this obligation the state must pay •fte entire amount with 3 per cent interest. * Chicago will receive another adntage at the expense of downstate •8 a result of the recent announcement by J. L. Jacobs, county assessor teat real estate valuations are to be Induced 28 per cent and this is to apply to the tax bills for 1931 which linve already been paid in downstate counties although no attempt will be made to collect the taxes for 1931 in Cook County until some time after *xt March. As a result of this reaction in Cook County valuations, tile state will receive less state tax ft>r 1931 than had been anticipated by tke state officers although the down- State taxpayers have paid their full quota. With these items summed up ft appears certain that the state taxes "for next year in Illinois will be more than doubled. Sales Tax Reccommended. After outlining in detail the desper- S&e situation which prevails in Cook CountyJ the resolution which was introduced by Commissioner Walter J. taBuy and adopted by the Board, concludes with the recommendation to amend the revenue laws by levying a sales tax on commodities that are pur. chased by the public.

Klapperich who celebrated his seventieth birthday at his home near Johnsburg on Sunday. Mr. Klapperich was bom and raised on the old homestead which was fcaktsn up from the government by his great grandfather as f$r back as 1845 when the Indians were their neighbors. The farm has passed from one generation to another but has been kept always in the family until now the fourth g&neration of Klappericlis are enjoying the comforts of home and the fertility of the soil made possible by their ancestors. Mr. Klapperich, however, bears the distinction of being the first one of the family to reside on the homestead for seventy years for all of his ancestors were ..short lived and Mr. Klapperich is the first one of a family of eight children to live to be seventy years old. Five cf his sisters and brothers died before they reached their allotted time and Mr. Klapperich, with two sisters, Mrs. Stephen H. Freund and Mrs. Nick Freund of McHenry are all that remain of the family. In honor of the seventieth birthday of Mr. Klapperich a sufpiise party was . planned and Sunday afternoon about 150 relatives invaded his home to celebrate the occasion in a family reunion. Mr. Klapperich had been away on a visit io Stacyville, Iowa, returning the last of the week after iall the plans for the- big event had been completed, and so the affair was a great surprise to him. At four o'clock a delicious dinner was served at the Riverdale hotel where the guests remained for the evening and where a beautiful, large birthday cake was served in addition to many other good things that ~o to make up a delicious meal,, Mr. Klapperich. also received many gifts in honor of the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Klapperich have fivo children, Mrs. Nick Miller and Mrs. A1 Weber of Milwaukee, Will of McHenry and Joe and Frank at home, who were all present to enjoy the day with their father, in addition to many relatives from McHenry, Johnsburg and surrounding territory. Among the guests from out-oftown who were present*^were; Mr3. Christina Marquardt of Chicago; Mrs- Margaret Baur, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hoff and Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Justen of Waukegan; Mr. and Mrs. A1 Weber and Mr. and Mrs. Nick. Miller* of. Milwaukee. Y>" ~ ADVANCED NIGHT. IMYCIIAPTER ASSOCIATE MATRONS IN CHAIRS ; REV. RONHAM WILL PREACH FAREWELL SERMON You are invited to attend services at the M. E. church every Sunday. Morning worship 11 o'clock, Sunday school 10 o'clock. Rev. W. Bonham will deliver hii farewell sermon this Sunday, and hopes to meet all of his old friends at this service. Rev. Bonham has been pastor of the M. E- church for the past four years and has done much towards its success and steady growth. He leaves to take up the practice of law in Chicago. It is hoped there will be a large attendance at this churcfc service. , Rev. L. H. Brattain, pastor of the chtfrch far the coming year.will also be present. tax would apply to the entire State of Illinois and in effect would result in downstate being required to pay more taxes, the objective being to try to restore the financial credit of Cook County because the people in Cook County have not paid their own taxes. Cook County real estate upon which taxes are already delinquent would be further relieved by the enactment of a sales tax, it is stated in the resolution. The additional tax, the resolution says is necessary because, "Chaos exists in the matter of collection of taxes in Cook County, the delinquency in tax payments is increasing yearly; 17 per cent of the 1928 taxes are uncollected; 31 per cent of the 1929 taxes have not been paid and only 53 per cent of the 1930 taxes have been received, leaving a balance of uncollected taxes due the State and the local governments for the three year period, $254,331,780.76. In addition the entire tax levy for 1931 has not been spread and is therefore uncollected." It will be ?pmetinje late next year before the assessment for 1932, already complet^l downltate, will be commenced in Chicago. Cermak to Seek Loan The legislature has given indications that it will not pass the sales tax bill or any other measure calculated to raise money statewide for use in Chicago, or to transfer Chicago's financial obligations to downstate in which event the Cermak committee announces it will make another drive to induce the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to loan more money to the State of Illinois to use in Chicago. The Cermak coir mittee wants $17,000,000 for u e in Chicago from October 1 to January 1 and also wants the state to make t^tal borrowings of $45,000,- 000 from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation practically all of which would be used in Chicago and be an obligation against the state. If the peopje who live downstate are to have any hope of relief from paying staggering amounts of money in additional taxes because of the local Chicago troubles, they must not give Chicago the additional pow«r- of a Chicago man for Governor. •ft.?.'*. -v. * >• • s..- - •> • 'J • " ' ' ' ' '• • 'It * "* t • •t. .* • 1 . 1 . . . - . : About li5 members an^'-v'»iK0tors' were present at special meeting of McHenry chapter, Order of the Easter Star, held at Masonic hall Saturday evening, the event being Advanced officers eight.

' » A " v*.\ 'gArom Chicago Dally News, Sept. 20, For the sake of experimenting; with a change in the wJK ministration of national affairs-- , 't*$\ CAN WE AFFORD TO WASTE The news of the outcome in Maine immediately results! in a loss, through lowered commodity prices, of $100,000,000 to the farmers of the United States. A similar reaction on the stock exchange cmi the security owners of the country $500,000,000, That is only symptomatic of what would happ pen if on Nov.. 8 the country determined to change political loaders at a time when the economic depression had spent it* self and unmistakable signs of recovery were oft the horizon. Gov. Roosevelt has declared that the present protective tariff is a GHASTLY "fraud. If he means what4 he says, his statement can only foreshadow prompt revision of the tariff. It does not require a long memory to recall what ALWAYS has happened to business and to employment when revision of the tariff was undertaken. *It is INEVITABLE that under such conditions every form of business affected in any way by the policy of protection should curtail to the utmost until it knows definitely what the future tariff policy is going to be. No human reaction could be predicted with greater assurance than this. •r: With the money panic phase of the depression past and more banks reopening than are closing, with the evil of money-hoarding stopped, the outflow of gold transformed to an inflow of the precious metal, with bank deposits going up instead of down, with the price of all sound securities increasing and commodity prices on a slow upward trend, there remain two chief objectives to he attained in the struggle back to prosperity. The first of these is reemployment of the idle by industry, and the second is the restora- . ^tion of prosperity on the farms. Although the latter is - immediately and tremendously affected by the accomplish ment of the first of these two purposes, the farm problem is"less directly affected by tariff revision than are industry m the men and women employed by industry. * * * : Shall the millions of men and women now ou£ of wtwifc and suffering acute privations because of lack of income be compelled to wait another twelve months while the country experiments with a new leader who thus far has shown neither an adequate understanding of the magnitude of the" prpblems to be met nor anything that remotely approaches • program for meeting them f T - • . ; That is the question which both leaders in industry ahd business and those employ ed, or seeking employ ment ^ay business and industry, must ask themselves. The policies of the Hoover administration designed to meet the present crisis are known. Most of them have been given effect in legislation, and are now in operation. There is not the slightest vestige of doubt in the mind of any man or woman as.to what the Hoover administration, if retained in power, will do with regard to commerce and industry. No man can safely predict what the opposition would do if given power. We do know,* although the election is only forty-nine days off, that Gov. Roosevelt has not yet enunciated a program of economic recovery. * We do know that under Jhe leadership of'Garner there was proposed the enactment of a bonus bill which would have cost in immediate cash $2,300,000,000. We do know that Garner tried to put over a huge pork-barrel bill, also requiring billions of dollars of additional taxes. We do know that every fantastic project which attempted inflation of the currency and cheapening of the dollar had the support of a majority of Garner's followers in that branch of congress which in the last session was controlled by Mr. Garner.
