The trouble comes from two direc

Second, the newly enthroned demo

democratic aenste leader, Joseph T.
Kobinson, recently warned against
addling an excessive tax burden on
large Incomes while the democratic

clared for a policy which republicans
are describing as a "soak the rich"
plan. Conflicting views as to tariff
revision have been voiced. The result
is that Hpenker Gnrner Is now seek

brief, much the same conditions that
now face every other large city.
The first step was to check the
borrowing habit. The first Socialistic

The secoud step was to stop Issu

expenses. Instead, tlio city levied a

A scientific budget system wnt
established to proveut waste of tax
moneys. Under this plan the clly
officials must estimate the amounts
needed to operate their departments.
The board of estimates compares the
thonsanda of Items with the amounts
spent the previous year, reduces
these estimates, and adopts the
budget. Thereupon a tax rate is
fixed. Every department la held
within Its estlmste. Now, Instead of
an annual deficit there la an annual

AH cities are staggering under the
load of their bonded debt. Milwaukee
worked out an amortization fund

How was the fund established?
It la the habit of cltlea to deposit

Something every smoker
wants to know!
Absolutely pure . . . that's what you ex
pect in the things you eat and drink...
and in the cigarettes you smoke.
"Chesterfields are as pure as the water
you drink," a noted scientist writes.
There's no way to make a purer cigarette.
Starting with tobaccos ... the ripest,
finest, purest leaf that grows is selected
for Chesterfields. Mild to start with . . .
Cross-Blending makes it milder still. Then
it's wrapped in paper that is "so pure it
burns without any taste or odor.
The phrase "Scientifically Purer" is
entirely justified. By our use of a highly
scientific process which was worked out
by Dr. Taul Gross, the Head Chemist of
our Research Department, Chesterfield
reaches a state of purity unmatched, to
our knowledge, by any other cigarette
In addition, scientists check every in
gredieut, every method. Even the factory
air is washed, and chauged every ,44
minutes. More purity!
Notice, too, the clean, white, attractive
package . . . moisture-proof. Chesterfields
come to you as good and as pure as they're
made. Gxxf ... they've got to he good!
