Mr. Burch advocated npplying tho "llnnn clal fine-tooth comb" to City Hall and clean ing out unnecessary olllceholders who nre holding their Jobs through political patron age. "Wo need two things," he said. "First, we should have a board of revision of taxes to effect u modern system of assessments, which would render Justlco to small house owners as well as to a favored few. This, together with a reorganization of tho city and county departments, would enable the taxes to bo reduced next year rather than Increased, as conditions now indicato, "In the report of the advisory committee appointed by Mayor Blankenburg In 1913 and composed of such men as I!. T. Htotes bury, Kdward B. West and other financiers, It was suggested that nn adequate system of assessment be created. Tho committee showed that by such system tho city would save $0,000,000, which at that time would have made tho tax rate J 1.37. Then tho tax rato was $1,130 and now It Is $1.75. "If this five cents goes Into the city treas. ury It lll be equivalent to additional taxa tion. Thousands of gas users aro poor peo ple, nnd the additional five cents would I a godsend to them, especially during tho winter season. That extra five cents would buy many a pall of coal and many a loaf of bread."

Tho dispatches reporting this support given tho Pope's proposals wero from Heme and published by tho Idea Xazlonale. Tin- reports were no more than wero ex pected In Goi eminent circles. Having taken the view that the Pontiff's nctlon wns Inspired by Austria, the general belief has been that tho Central Powers would be tho first to respond, either olltclatly or iinolliclnlly. Tho Tribuna asserts today that It Is posi tively Infni ined the Pope acted entirely on Ills own Initiative ln proposing peace and outlining the conditions under which he believed it might bo established. The proposals wero put forward without con sultation with any of tho belligerents and without any external pressure, the Tribuna asserts. Tho Catholic press today came to tho de fenso of the l'opo with strong denial that his proposals were In any way Inspired b? Austria. The Corrlere d'ltalln declares tho. coudltlons-are. f.ivorablo to tho Allies, pointing out the references to disarmament and negotiations as to Alsace, Trent and Trieste as distinctly unfavorable to the Central Powers. It is regarded ns certain that as soon ns tho Pontiff receives replies from the belligerent tJovcmments ho will publish another docununt.

Tho Matin says that In French eyes any peace suggestion must embody tho complete restoration of Alsace-Lorraine. Tho Socialist press Is bitterly attacking the Papal peace move.
