Hhe St. Joseph oo__nty budget
and 52-cent tax levy proposed ior
1946 wiH stand approved by the
-state tax board. Opponents -sw__ne
on hand to advocate a 10-cent cutback in the $2&Q levy ^sHbdch the
tax payers of South Bend face in
19416 but to no avail.
The • state b__a_x_. brimmed two
cents off the school city levy, how-
-_rver, to establish a $2.88 tax rate
ior South Bend next year. The
rate this year is $2.80.
The board took into account a
$4OO;_>00-pl!as working balance of
?the school system and a $30,000
HKQ&er estimate of state revenue
-forthcoming in 1946 in ordering a
two-cent cut in the tuition rate.
Earlier the board had approved
55a 1.5-cent higher rate of $2.46 for
Mishawaka and passed the levies
vof the South Bend civil city and
St. Joseph county, making only
a few changes in township and
town levies.
An eight-cent cut ordered in the
-Uwion township levy will be reflected in the LaEkeville rate which
foee^fSmes $3.16 instead of the proposed $3.24. A 1.4-cent cut in Liberty township similarly will be reflected in the North Liberty levy
which becomes $2.72 instead of
$2,734.

"cult two cents.

peal to the senate in its favor.
Pti&r to that however, the party
itself had established a women's
bureau of the Democratic national committee, to work in
western stages where women already hac| the vote.
In 1919, the executive com-
mk&ee of the Democratic actional committee, anpgffla^ki^;
the ratification of the (gaoastitu-
tional amendmk^-^+voted on
September 27th, to admit
women to membership — four
years before the Republicans
gave women this recognition in
their party.
Again, .fcs_.r years ahead of
the Republicans, in 1920 women were voted aassociate members of the Democratic national
committee. The tfirst woman
ever appointed to the United
States -senate -was a Democrat—:
Mrs. Rehecca L. Fekofa off Georgia. The first woman elected to
cowgress was Hon. Mary L.
Norton, Democrat, of New Jersey. Since 1937 she has bee_a
chairman of the powerful house
committee on labor.
Mrs. Nellie Tayfoe Ross, A
Democrat, was tbe first woman
elected governor of a state—
Wyoming, and Mrs. Hattie W.
Caraway,, a Democrat, was the
first woman elected to the United States senate. In 1940 for
the first time a woman made a
major speech to a national convention, Mrs. Franklin Delano
Ussosfrmk. And sin der President
Roosevelt' s a d m i n i-s t r a t i o n,

Indeed, Democracy has not
been stingy in recognizing the
talents of women in the political arena—and they have contributed a like share to the
achievements of Democracy. It
is the Republicans who have
sung the tune, the "place for
women is in the home,"—but
what has all this to do with
sewage disposal, the 5th District Democratic club quarrel,
who gets postmastership, succeeds Frank Bruggner as county
clerk, and whereas the Morris
farm festival extended the returned Republican veterans?
A GOOD many Ideas have been
advanced for attaining world
peace, but probably the mostm
potent of all is the United Na- ':
tions Food Organization's plan-'"
to distribute food more evenly.r,->«-
The plan is strictly from hunger,"
too.
