muntcIpal Tax Law.

The new municipal tax law, more read
lily known as the Burns law, is undoubt-
edly a measure that will prove of inn
mense advantage to the people of Ohio
and is itself worth all the expense of the
legislative session just ended. The law
may cause some hardships and ineonye=
nience for a while, until the municipal
corporations of the State adjust their fl
nanees to its provisions, but this win be
only temporary and will not afford
ground for any forcible objection to the
measure. Experience may also suggest
some additions to the law, or changes in
its provisions, but the law in its main
scope will stand, and will be ratified by
an overwhelming public sentiment. - :
From the editorial statement of the pro-
visions of the law which was given in
/ these columns yesterday, it viii have been
noticed that it is the most stringent re-
striction that has ever yet been placed
/ upon municipal taxation in Ohio. 1t is,
indeed, the first comprehensive and sys-
/ tematie attempt that has been made in. the
General Assembly to grappIe with the
enormous evil of prodigality in munich
pal taxation and expenditure which is
crushing the life out-of business, and has
brouget two-thirCls of the cities and towns
of the country to the verge of bankrupt
/ ey. The extent of this evil, and the ne
cessity for some legislative remedy were
brought to the attention of the General
1 Assembly by the last annual message of
| Governor Allen. and the inaugural Ad-
| dress of Governor Hayes, and the Burns
/ law is an appropriate response to these
executive admonitions. It is a law that
will surely bring all municipal waste and
prodigality to a dead halt, and thereby do
/ a hundred times more to relieve trade of
its burdens and revive business prosperi-
ty than anysor all the financial schemes
likely to be hatehed through Congression-
al Incubation.
1t is a great mistake to suppose that the
debts of the cities are a burden upon the
cities only. The centers of population
are also the centers of business, and their
burdens are burdens upon business
Rents, for instance, are part of the nee
essary- expenses of traffic, and must be
/ propOrtiOnate to taxes, which, i'll turn,
are propertionate to the amount of mu-
nicipa1 expenditure But the merchants
and manufacturers rents are charged in
prices, and are really paid by the consul
mer, whether in. town. or country. Mu-
nicipal taxation is therefore levy upon
the whole community, and is paid blythe
farmer in increased price of what he buys
and the depressed price of what he sells.
The whole country is practically mort
gagged for the debts of our cities, and
/ while these debts are enormous, and the
tide of municipal expenditure runs SC
high, is it any wonder that business is de-
pressed? Trade is literally crushed by
these enormous weights, and prosperity
cannot revive until some strong measure
is taken both to put stop to their in
crease and provide for their reduction
The Burns law is just such measure,
| and the good it promises to accomplish is
incalculable.-O. s. Journal.

A correspondent of the American Aqri-
cugturtst, says: 81 wish to describe to you
method of making fruit trees bear, that
1 bIundered on. Some fifteen years ago I
had small apple tree that leaned cOnsid-
erably. drove stake by it, tied a string
to a limb and fastened it to the stake. The
next year that limb blossomed full while
not another blossom appeared on the tree,
and as Tim Bunker said, sit sot me think
ing and came to the conclusion that the
string was so tight that it prevented the
sap returning to the roots, consequently it
formed fruit buds. Having couple of
pear trees that were large enough to bear,
but had never blossomed, took coarse
twine and bound it several times around
the tree above the lower limbs, and tied it
as tight as could. The next Spring all
the top above the cord blossomed as white
as sheet, and there was not a blossom
below the place where the cord was tied.
a neighbOr, seeing my trees loaded with
pears used the same method with the same
result. think it is much better way
than cutting off the roots. In early sum-
mer, say IN June or July, wind strong
twine several times around the tree, or a
single limb, and tie it. the tighter the
better, and you will be pleased with the
result"

Any lady who keeps house-plants
knows enough to keep them where they
will get the benefit of sunlight. You
may look at the lilies, roses, pinks and
dahlias, of your flower garden, and YOU
will notice they all have beautiful colors.
You may rear those same flowers in
places where the sunlight is entirely ex-
cluded, and keep them in the dark. or
supply them with artificial light only,
such as candles, lamps, and gas-light, and
you viii find that they will not have that
pure, brilliant color, which nature de-
signed they should have. The same is
true of men, women and children, if they
are deprived of sunlight. Demonstra-
fashionable parlors, where women and
children spend most of their time, and
the windows are kept blinded to keep out
the sunlight for fear it might injure the
carpet.-HaIl's Journal Of Health.
