The result is many property owners have escaped payment entirely or have paid a | small percentage in settlement of tax liens | under agreement with the city. In the light of these circumstances, it | would seem the smart thing for the city | council to do would be to move for legisla- | tion putting teeth in the city’s tax collec- | tion system. The Charter Revision Com- mittee is at present engaged in ‘putting to- gether an entirely new charter.

POLITICAL SHIFTS The trend of recent political events, whether one realizes it or not, is toward a distinct regrouping of the voters of the United States. Leaders on both sides of the present debate are urging voters to place the good of the country above party con- siderations. It is a sign of the weakening | ties that heretofere have bound voters to their organizations. We do not profess to know the future and consequently we have no idea where the drift will end. Let us hope, however, that it will meve toward well-defined na- tional policies, championed by abe and sincere advocates, and that the people of the natien will be able to make an intelli- gent choice of the courses presented to them.
