ing to give the gravel in said street to

ers the proposition be accepted and that
the petition be referred to the street

That the protest of E. D. Park against

stock should not pay taxes upon that
amount, especially in view of the fact
that bank stocks are the safest and best
investments in this community.
Section 3,60S of the political code pro-
vides that shares of stock in corpora
tions shall not be taxed to the stock
holders, but that all property belonging
to the corporation shall be assessed to it.
This was done to avoid double taxation.
which would result if you taxed the
property OF the corporation and also the
shares OF stock representing this prop
erty. The effect of this provision, iudg-
ing from the facts, seems to be to enable
both the property and the shares of stock
to escape taxation.
The capital stock of the bank and the
reserve fund and profits cannot be
taxed to the bank as such, but the
property which goes to make up the
capital stock, reserve fund, etc., can be
taxed.
| think an examination of the state
ments of the different banks will show
that the word credits will cover the
property which represents the capital
stock, etc., and the manner in which it
is invested. The statements show that
they have on deposit belonging to de-
positors $4,000, 900; they have on hand,
cash, $500, 900, leaving $4,000, 900,
which they have loaned out. Take that
from the total amount of their loans.
viz, $6, 100000, it leaves $2,3OO,OOO of
credits which belong to the banks, a
slightly larger sum than the $2S5 re-
turned by them for taxation.
Section 1862 of the political code pro-
vides that the assessor shall have power
to subpoena and examine any person in
relation to any statement furnished to
him. Section II of ordinance No. 81
provides that any property wilfully con-
cealed, removed, transferred or misrep-
resented by the owner or agent thereof,
to evade taxation, upon discovery, must
be assessed at not exceeding ten times
its value, etc.
You have the same power in regard to
corporations as you have as to indi-
viduals, and these provisions give you
full power to investigate and assess
property at just amount.
While you are investigating these
questions it might be well to look into
the assessment of some of our indi-
vidual taxpayers in regard to the
amount of money returned for taxation,
for while the statements show there was
$9,600,000 money on deposit, the total
amount of money returned for taxation
in this city from all sources is but

RUNAWAY,
A Horse That Was Afraid of a Cable
Car

At 5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon a
horse attached to buggy containing
Mrs. Saunders, a resident of Sichel
street, East Los Angeles, and two chill
dren, SHE'D at passing cable car on
Main street, near the plaza. In swerving
aside from the car, the animal cramped
the buggy and overturned it, throwing
the occupants of the vehicle to the
ground. The horse bolted, dragging the
buggy along on its side for a short dis
tance, until a part of the harness gave
way, when it continued it's wild career to
the corner OF Court and Spring streets,
where it was intercepted by Officer
Woodward. Fortunately Mrs. Saunders
escaped with severe shaking up, and
neither of the children were hurt.

\ Farmers First Deposit.
They had opened a bank at Medina,
the first one in the history Of the
town, and one day when it was in
good running order, Farmer Adams
hitched his horse and wagon In faont
of the building, looked to see if the
crock of butter and basket of eggs
were safe, and then entered the build
ing. He was we'll known to all
of the officials, and each had word
for him as he entered. He looked
around him in wonder, and then adj
dressed himself to the president.
"Well, Steve Smith, you've gone
and opened a bank, eh?"
"Ees.n
"Git a regular charter"
''Oh. yes"
"Got things SO thatro b bers can't git
the money!"
"Yes."
"Wall now, lOok-a-here, Steve, I've
knowed you long time, haven't T."
"You have, Mr.. Adams"
"Knowed you when your father
run off and left the family as hard
up as a spring coon with a broken
Lego"
Eyes"
"Knowed you when you growed up
and married Hammer Taylor"
"Ies."
"How is Hammer and the young
'uns?n
"Well, thank you"
That's proper, but what l was
goin' to say was that 1 guess I'll put
some money in your bank-not
great deal, but jist huff fur nest

1--WE shall be glad to number you
with our patrons"
"Gaas but look a-here, Steve, don't
want no foolin' about this business.

find it right here"
"Certainiy."
''And / want to find YOU here"
"Of course

hev done, do you know what I'll do? |

Count Pappenheim's Engagement
Bracelet.

Count Pappenheim'S Engagement
Bracelet.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The handsome gold link bracelet
which the Countess Pappenheim gave
to her husband as a souvenir of the
engagement day, which occurred on
Lord Cromatie's yacht last August,
has never been taken off since it was
put on by her fair hands, and the
Count says it never will. The chain
is a massive one, nearl y as large
as mans thumb, and has
a beautiful uncut sapphire on
it. The date OF the engage
ment and the name of the yacht is
inscribed on it. The chain is very
long, extending around the Counts
wrist twice, and is fastened by a
small golden locket, in which the
sapphire is set The Count wears it
on his left wrist, and when the arm is
raised it is clearly visible. He is fond
OF showing it to his friends, and al
ways speaks touchingly of the roman
tic incident associated with it. He
once said to n friend that he would
rather lose the arm than the souvenir
on it,

Fate of the TnvaIides.

Tt is now considered probable that
the Hotel DIES Invaldes, which has so
long sheltered the old soldiers of the
French army who have lost limbs in
the wars, will at no distant date be
used for other purposes. The offices of
the military governor of Paris have al
ready been transferred thither, and it
is proposed to give the antique pen
sioners who still inhabit the building
increased pay and another place of
refuge. In any case, the number of
decrepit warriors now in residence is
small, and unless war breaks out there
will be no successors for them in the
French Chelsea hospital. There are
now 22S pensioners-nearlya all very old
and infirm-accommodated in the Ho-
tel DIES Invalides
Under the First empire there were at
one time %, 900, but this number con-
tinued to diminish even after the peri
DDS of the Crimean and Italian cam
paigns After the Franco Prussian war
of 1870 700 soldiers were admitted to
the Invalides, which in a year or two
will in all probability be wrongly
named, inasmuch as it is intended to
make it a very active and bustling mill
tary center. Many, however, will re-
greet the change, for there was always
something picturesque and historic
about the old pensioners, and their
weekly parade for the military mass in
the church containing the tomb of the
First Napoleon was one of the sights of

Saved by n Network of Wires.

While attempting to close a window
John Soulen, a 15-year-old boy en-
ployed in the Northwestern Collection
company's offices in Milwaukee, fell
from the fifth story of the new insur-
ance building. In falling he caught on
the network of telegraph wires about
twenty feet below the window, where
he hung suspended in full view of hun
dreds of people on the street, The boy
held on in suspense while the excited
crowd below tried to devise some means
for his rescue. Finally a fire truck
company was sent for, but before its
arrival the boy was seized by the legs
and pulled into a window below that
from which he fell. The boy will re-
member the experience throughout his
life, as had it not been for the wires he
would have been dashed to death on
the pavement 100 feet below. AS it
was he escaped uninjured. Chi
