| ne saia there was no power, under the presen

that LAW could be made whereby these take

me. Collector should not be deprived of the
power OF oistralning on personal property in
case or non-payment OF taxes. An amendment

tor OF this power. With this mower vested in a

without trouble. He thought provision should

Court should be compelled to deposit the
amount OF their taxes before the appeal could
bc considered. Such was the law III Massachu-
Ectts, and it had worked admirably.
A1r. TT. Il. King was called upon for some re-
marks, and went over pretty much the same
ground as he did at 4 previous meeting.
After some time spent in hearing from the
Joint Committee, Which appeared to have done
nothing, aud In wrangling over the proposed
appointment Of further committees to get
down to actual work, motion was passed re-
questing the Citizens Association to draw up
such bill; as IN their wisdom would meet the
exieencies OF the case, and to report It at the
earliest possible moment.
Having thus succeeded in putting matters IN
Just about such shape as they were at least
week ago, the meeting seemed to gather wisdom
from their failure thus far to accomplish any
definite results, and came to the very sensible
conclusion to adjourn until next Saturday after
noon, at which time it is hoped that somebody
will present bill designed to overcome the
many difficulties attending the present system
OF collecting taxes. Whether such bill is pre-
sented or not, It Is safe to say that Miles Kehoe

| OF paupcrlEIn were numerous. First, there wa
the hereditary CAUSE. There was just as muc
pauper begot pauper children. Once allowed t.
rely on charity, man would become the fathe
Of race which would nerer make an earnest ef
fort to help themselves. The second cause wa!
we're not synonymous. Tie ono did not care
and the other did not know how, to limit theil
! expenses to their income, or to provide against
| possible contingencies. It was one Of the char.
acteristics OF the age and especially OF this coun-
try, to indulge in extrayagances OF dress, ETC.,
| winch he classcd as absurd folly and crime. The
third cause mas intemperance aud the use Of ID
toxicatfns liquors. This evil could not be ex-
agggerated; indeed nfne-teuths OF the world's
pauperism could be traced to this cause. An
friends, but this was BY far the smallest and
saddest number to contemplate We could not
hope to cure or remove this evil at once or alto
Eether, but we could mitigate 1t to some extent,
and BY prevention ultimately reduce pauper7sm
to the last class indicated,-:he unfortunate,
the disabled and agcd. The remedy was not to
be found in communism and socialism. II such
principles were carried out all Independence OF
character aud the right to acquire and dispose of
property or to enjoy anything would be destroyed
and society would revert to its original parbar-
Ism. The remedy was not in more stringent

liable institutions. No provision should be
