Sept. 25 —<*V Thousands of children, clad In Im maculate white, gathered Wednes day in the broad amphitheater which rang Tuesday night with praise of the Eucharist and denun ciations X communism The children, eager for their day of ritual and benediction In the a pageantry of the seventh national \ Eucharistic congress, made ready to attend a solemn pontifical mas* in the brightly decorated Cleveland •tedium. In the same stadium Tuesday night. Alfred E. Smith, a com manding figure among the Catholic laity, voiced vigorous professions of his faith in the Blesaed Sacrament of the Eucharist and proposed that society must be organized on the basts of love "in the nanr of Him who gave His life for us on Cal vary.'* or it will organize mi the basis of sin. The former governor of New York received a stirring ovation from an estimated 43.000 persons who rose in t|ie tiers of seats and ap plauded as a symphony orchestra •truck up the contagious strains of “Hie Sidewalks of New York.” • TAXES (Continued from First Pagei makes the wheel* of government go •round. Right here in Brownsville just the other day the city manager was ap proached by one who la a fairly large property owner with the pro position that Brownsville should build a new and imposing city hall "But where will the money come from?'* "Borrow it from the Public Work* administration. We ought to get some ©f this government money while it Is going round.” "But if we borrow It from the PWA we will have to issue bonds as se curity to the PWA for the loan.'* Improvements Mean Taxes "We ought te do it any way." With the remark by the city man ager that the present city commis* at on has expressed itself many times as being opposed to any more bard lasues. the conversation changed its course, and drifted, as conversa tions will these days, to a discus sion of taxes. And the same person who had Just advocated the borrowing of money to build a new city hall clos •d that conversation with the re mark that "something must be done about taxes, they must come down, or development will be stifled * Bonds make taxes. We have before us as we write a Stter receivfd by the city of rownsille Tuesday morning The writer advocates some very desirable civic improvements, among them the paving cf certain streets In certain neighborhoods. And enclosed m the same letter ts a clipping of remarks made recently bv William Randolph Hearst on the subject of taxes, while written on the side are these words: "Taxes must be reduced to en tourage people to make their homes here.' Paving costs money The only way the city of Browns r dlle or any other city can get mon §v with which to pave street^ is by the levying of taxes. Civic improvements make taxes Right there is one answer to the Suestion, "Where do w go from ere?" If you don't want your taxes in creased. don’t vote any more bond is gnes. Bonds Built Valiev Of course, we all realiae that most cf the bond tssurs we have voted In the past were voted lor two rea sons first, we thought the improve ments to be financed by the bond issues would be well worth the cost, and second, we thought that the improvements would better us fi nancially to an extent that we would be better able to pay our taxes, even the increased taxes the bond issues entailed. And if the bottom had not dropped out of things in general, we would probably have been right. This is a young country Had it not been for bon dissues, the Valley never would ha\e been The chances are thai we are going to have to issue more bonds in the years to come. But let us hope that when we do vote more bond issues, w-e will have clearer under itanding ot what we are doing, that wc will realise that when we vote bonds, we are votuig taxes. And while we are getting wiser about taxes brought on by bond is •ues. we might devote a little per sonal study to taxes brought on by maintenance and operations midget Hearing* l n popular With ail the talk about taxes and the coat of government, how many of us know what our school dis tricts. our county, our cities, our water districts, do with the money we pay in fir taxes? Cameron county, our school dis tricts. our cities, all are compelled by law to hold a public hearing on tfeeir budgets the ensuing year, and • budget of expenses is the basis for the tax rate. Within the past 60 days Cameron county and the Brownsville Inde pendent School district have at tempted to hold that public hear ing. We say "attempted* advised ly. for outside of a Brownsville Herald reporter not one single soli tary taxpayer shoved up at either hearing. although both had been given due publicity through the press! City of Brownsville had the same experience at its last budget hear ing, and we have no doubt but that i officials of other cities and school districts could relate the same ex perience Y*t. the money these budgets call t for can be obtained in but one way. j (Tomorrow—a further discussion j it-Where DoWiOo From Here?**)1 ROMANCE ON THE RIO GRANDE' One gay adventure after another for this madcap pan who were look ing for excitement and found romance.
