"a i October 30, 1926 WINNETKA TALK Forum to Discuss State and Church Feud in Mexico "The Conflict between State and Church in Mexico" will be the subject for discussion at the opening meeting of the Chicago Forum next Sunday afternoon, October 31, Fred A. Moore, director of the Forum announced this week. The speakers will give frank interpretations of the claims and ob- jectives of both parties to the conflict. Alva W. Tavlor of Indianapolis, a leader in Protestant church circles but equally widely known as a student, investigator, and interpreter of social problems, will give the side of the government in Mexico. Dr. Taylor was the leader of "a goodwill mission" to Mexico this summer and was in Mexico City during the height of the crisis. He has visited the country several times previously and attended the inauguration of President Calles. Professor Charles Phillips of Notre Dame university, an eminent Catholic layman, will interpret the claims of the church. He, too, knows Mexico intimately and is thoroughly familiar with the trend of affairs below the Rio Grande. Professcr Phillips is well known as an author and playwright of distinction and is a speaker of unusual ability. Following the discussion will come the usual question period in which the audience will have an opportunity to challenge either speaker. This is a feature of the Chicago Forum that commands lively interest. The Forum is to meet this year in the Erlanger theatre (formerly the Palace) on Clark near Randolph, Sun- days at 3:15. Fred A. Moore will con- tinue as chairman of the meetings. Little ten year old Mary Louise Laird, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rob- ert S.

The ballet, which opened the new season of the Allied | Arts Sunday at the Eighth Street | theater, would probably attract a large following as a civic undertaking. Adolf Bolm would probably attract the large audience that he would dance {for because, although dancing may be as high a form of art as that of the opera, its lighter and more informal spirit holds an appeal for the greater number of people. | This informality of the ballet draws to it musicians and artists with things that are new to the times and easier to adapt to the ballet than to the opera and drama with their traditions to maintain. Among the artists who in this way have turned their attention to the ballet are Anisfeld, Matisse, Laurencin, Covarrubias, Roerich, Gon- charova, Picasso, Robert Edmond Jones. The North Shore group of the Chi- cago Women of Rotary gave a benefit card party Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Seubold, 921 Sheridan road. There were twen- ty-five tables, and after the games refreshments were served cafeteria style in the billiard room, which was decorated for Hallowe'en. --Q-- Mrs. J.

Carr's brilliant record as a capable, busi- ness-like and efficient public of- ficial, has won him remarkable support in his Sheriff. As County Treas- urer, he turned over to the people of Cook County, all of the interest earned talling over $6,000,- 000, a greater amount than the combined total of his predeces- sors. Mr. Carr has pledged, when Sheriff, to make our highways absolutely safe; among other means, by installing a complete system of police patrol boxes thru the entire out-lying district of Cook County. His record of genuine service guarantees the fulfillment of his pledge. Mr. Carr's election will insure honest, vigorous and capable ad- ministration of the Sheriff's of- fice. --Adv. candidacy for on public funds, to- | Now Is the Time to Smash the | Tax Ring Harry Kohl, Democratic Candi- date for Member of the Board of Review, is making a successful | two-fisted campaign for election to that office. i i He is showing that loop prop-'! erty owners are being favorefl at' the expense of small home-owners and renters. He charges that loop property is being assessed at a valuation of about 7% of its real value, where- as, the assessed valuation on: the : small home-owner is 50% of its actual value. In other words; the thousands of small home-owners in Cook County have to carry the burden of an enormous incpease in taxes so that the favored loop interests may receive dreat slashes in their assessed valuation. Mr. Kohl contends that therq are about 500,000 families that should . pay taxes in the City of Chicago. Due to 10% being favored by the present tax assessing body the re- mainder are obliged to pay for the * "cuts" obtained by the favored few. He further holds that if the privileged class paid its just share, a reduction of 10% of the taxes for the small home-owners could be made at once. Mr. Kohl pledges, if elected, to see to it that the "little fellows" instead of the "loop interests" are accorded his protection. The Democratic Candidate for this office, Harry Kohl, is married and has three children. He pe- lieves 1mm nis own nome, a small cottage at 1838 N. Lowell avenue. He is at present Chief Boiler In- spector for the City of Chicago, a personal appointment by the Mayor of Chicago. He deserves the united support of voters regardless of partisan polities.
