TheTa1atiou Question.

A few weeks ago the New York Tax
Reform Association sent out inquiries
to leading men In all branches Of busi-
ness and professions, asking their views
on the question Of taxation. Among
the answers was one from John j.
Keane. Rector ofthe Catholic Univer-
sity Of America, in which are contain
ed many excellent thoughts. He says;
THE question Of taxation is so COM
plex and so difficult, as well as so inn
portant, that any association establish
ed with the view Of studying IL in q
d ds'nterested way cannot fail 70 be ex-
c--,lingly useful. The end toward
hich all efforts should tend is to
make the taxes at the same time as
light upon the citizens, as profitable to
the State, as equitably distributed, and
as inexpensively and honestly collect
ed as possible.
freely admit that in general the
direct tax is preferable to the indirect.
The latter is more likely to cripple in
dustry, to impede commerce, to de-
crease the prosperity of the workman,
tits, however, to be remarked that
when any tax, whatever it may be,
has been for long time established,
things are sure to adjust themselves SO
that every one, directly or indirectly,
will bear portion of it,
Should a direct tax fall on land, or
income or on capital9 Without pro-
nouncing definitely upon this question,
| recognize that the tax should not
strike the agents of production, e. g.,
livestock, trees, steam engines, in a
word the capital engaged in industry;
but rather the proceeds obtained from
1t, not the gross, but the net proceeds.
Whatever be the nature of the tax it
should be proportiOned to the resources
Of the citizens; ii is even desirable that
1t should be progressive, Ii should
never be collected on necessaries, and
it should not be levied on profits in
such a manner as to discourage in
dustry and commerce. Thus, in the
case of direct tax, small properties
should be exempt from it, because
most frequently they do not suffice for
the essential needs of the possessors.
In the case of an indirect tax, II
should not be placed upon objects OF
prime necessity, such as bread and
salt, but it can we'll be established on
what may be termed luxuries, such as
tobacco or alcohol.
A tax should never be levied in such
a manner as to invite fraud, and,spe-
cially, in such way as to invite
perjury. As an example may be men.
toned the oath demanded of all pas
sengers entering the port of New York.
Finally, no tax should De imposed
upon occupations of such character
that their being taxed would seem like
an approval or encouragement of Inn
morality"
The Rector Keane's views were
coincided in by eighty-ons other col
lege professors, who have given tht
economic question of direct taxation
much study.

1t is not uncommon to refer to the

familiar name, and dressmakers fre-
quently designate them as MARY Jane"
A household wherein the skirt form had
come to be called Miss Susan" had an
amusing experience on account of it.
The form had been lent, and a new
coachman had just driven up with some
of the family, when the skirt form was
remembered. He was directed to drive
to certain house, get ''Miss Susan"
and come back with her in hurry.
After long delay, the carriage drove
up at mournful pace. "Shure, ma'am,"
said the coachman, in explanation of his
delay, ''they had to lift her acrost the
sidewalk into the coach, and thought
she was very sick lady indeed, and so I
had better drive slow. New York

PORTLAND, May 80, 1891.
NNCE a year they
~ come to US, these
men who went to
war near thirty years ago,
and marching with them
is the memory of those
who went and never came
back again-once a year
they come and claim a
days remembrance.
For these men who
fought for US, fought that
this country should not be
a hydra headed monster
made up of warning States;
that idleness should not
forver scar patient toll, that
America should really be
'1and of the free and a
home of the brave; who
now forget the animosities
and the bitterness and
fierceness of war and live
in the results of what war
brought-we give the day,
the anniversary hours.
We cherish with tears
and flowers the memories
of those who died. We hail
with cheers and rejoicing
those who fought and live.
They kept our name in the
list of nations, and our flag
in heaven. Through much
WEAKNESS and mist and
strife and death they strug-
gled---they should be re-
membered.
We give these soldierly
patriots the day.
Our hearts crown the
living, our hands garland
the dead. For the living,
cheers; for the dead, tears.

by. Mr.. Moore and Miss Mountfort were very
enjoyable. The solos by Mrs. Jordan and
Mrs. Evans were highly appreciated as usnai
After the entertainment the people ad-
journed, wishing the Baptist ladies much
success in the future,
