over and 500 for all corporations with a
capital of less than 500. 900. the COM
mission have made no reoommenda-
tions in the new law. This plan was fol-
lowed because in the recommends
tions of the state board of valua-
tions the taxes on corporations were
made much more stringent and effective
aud it was thought that these fees of one
tenth Of one per cent were IN the nature
of taxes and had therefore better be left
entirely to -the-diseFetieR Of the Legisla-
ture.
The bill is now in the hands of the
printer and will be ready for the action of
the Legis lature in the early days of this
coming session.

conditions are prevalent to-day. There
is apparent prosperity, and its founda-
tlon seems to be an abundance OF
wealth, good wages and steady work;
but there is also that speculative fever
which is frequently the climax Of a pros
porous era.
Whether this foundation is actually
hollow can only be known by results,
but the fact that there are some who are
inclined to believe that we are already
feeling the effects of silver initiation
should not only act as a spur to have
the present law repealed, but also as a
check until the full meaning of present
conditions can be understood.

THIS H
Our Annual
Opening
n Challis
An Incompatible Exhibition of Exclusive
Productions in this most exquisite
of Dress Fabrics.

The development of the Challis seems to have reached
its highest possibility in this seasons manufacture, and our
selections represent the very cream of them all-designs and
effects of great distinction confined to ourselves and abso-
lutely unlike the reproductions in cotton prints.
Nothing but a personal view of the display can achieve
an idea of the marvellous variety of design.
Everything is comprehended, from the tiniest spotted
pattern, the small "delaine" figures of our g%randmothers, to
the splendid chintz effects of latter-day popularity. The pc
culiarly soft and exquisite Persians are a conspicuous feature.
Silk warps, silk stripes, satin stripes, basket weaves and
batste efects-all contribute to the exceeding beauty of the
showing.
An early choice alone assures the securing Of that indie
scribable something which makes one summer gown dstin-
guished among the many.

Texas is not stuck on the idea of
unrestricted immigration, from the
experience that she is having with
the unemployed masses of CalifOr-
mia. This is just the same eX-
perience that the eastern states
have every year with the unem-
ployed masses of Europe. The
whole business begins in this for
eign flooding of the labor avenues
of the nation with low priced labor
and pauper labor as well.
