Row It Works IN Boston.

Smith forms a little corporation -
build railroad in Vermont The rail-
road is fully taxed there. But Smith
lives in Boston; and, as he owns all
the stock-say, 500, 0O0-and stock in
foreign corporation is assessed there,
he is taxed on the whole amount a sec
ond time. He mortgages the road for
900, 900 and spends the proceeds on i'm
provements This additional value Is
taxed in Vermont. But he sells tho
mortgage bonds to Brown, of Boston,
who is then taxed again upon the
whole 100000. Brown pledges the
bonds to Jones as security for a loss of
500. 1000, and forthwith Jones is taxed
upon the whole amount This makes
three taxes upon only one piece of real
property. This is the way in which
the wise men of Massachusetts, mean
that their laws shall work: but. as the
taxpayers revolt against such injustice
and protect themselves in the only way
open to them-to-wit, by hard swear
ng-Massachusetts counteracts that
evil by increasing everybody's taxes
fourfold, on the assumption that all
have made false returns alike At all
events, this is how they do it in Boston.

Call Sent Out From the Central Labor

To the Public:-Our system of repre-
sentative legislation is rotten. Witness
the passage of the Strehi law giving
more privileges to the street railway
monopoly of this city, and the refusal
of the legislature to pass the Ford bill
to repeal the Weitzel law. 1t is pro-
posed to change the system by substi-
tuting that of direct legislation which
includes the following:
1. The right to approve or reject pro-
posed state laws shall rest with major
ity of the citizens of the state. The
right to approve or reject the proposed
laws of any political subdivision of the
state tsuch as county, city, town, town
ship or village), shall rest with ma
jority of the people of such subdivision.
The method of such approval or rejec-
ton shall be that known as the refer
endum.
=. The right to propose laws for the
state shall lin addition to being exer-
cised by members of the senate and
house of representatives,. rest with any
proportion of the citizens of the state.
between five and twenty-five per cent,
which may be determined by statute
law. The right to propose laws for
any political subdivision of the state,
(such as county, city, town, township
or village). shall lin addition to being
exercised by members of its legislative
body as at presently rest with any pro-
portion of its citizens, between five and
twenty-five per cent, which may be de-
termined by law of such political
subdivision. The method to be en-
ployed in so proposing measures shall
be that known as the initiative.

traces of annoyance in North's face and
manner when, 4 few moments later, he
entered Mrs. Maynard's drawinS-room.
He had not inquired if Mrs. Maynard
were disengaged, rather indolehtlv Tux
ing it for granted that she would be;
and he was very much annoyed to find
that lady occupied with morning Wis

few ladies in Y who found it expe-

this happened to beher day"
North felt extremely awkward on dis

conversation, did he call any of them

THE WISE GIRL,

And How She Arranges for Comfort In =
Sleeping Car.
The wise girl knows that nothing is
quite SO desirable for wear in the sleep
ing car as a wrapper of dark-colored
flannel. 1t may be stated as positive
fact that women who try to make
themselves look coquetish in sleeping
car. and wear elaborate negliges
or lace-trimmed wrappers, show ex-
tremely bad taste. Experience has
taught that wrapper Of soft
flannel in stripes of black and
blue, made in the simplest fash
ion, is most useful. When she
is ready to go to bed, and the
porter arranges her berth for her, she
goes to the toilet-room, taking with,
her her shawl-strapped package. She
removes her shoes and stockings, puts.
on the knitted slippers that she has,
taken out of her bag, removes any gar
ments which she pleases, and assuming
her wrapper, which has been folded in
her shawl strap, repairs to her berth.
After fastening the buttons of the cur
tains, she disposes of her clothing as
best she can, folding each article
smoothly and carefully, and placing
ner money, Watcn ana ClcketS In ncr
wrapper pocket. And then she should
try to rest = the porter will call
her in good season, and her ticket
will not be asked for during the
night. In her shawl strap, which
shows as it's. outer wrapping a
shawl or travelling rug, she may
have her own pillow if she desires it.
But this is not necessity, as the cars
are supplied with linen that is usually
fresh and clean. In the morning the
wise girl will put on her stockings and
shoes in bed, leaving the lacing or but
toning of them till later. Then she
will assume her other garments and re.
pair to the toilet-room, where she
should as expeditiously as possible
make herself neat, trim and fresh, that
her friends who are to meet her may
not find her dusty nor travel-stained.
This she should do quickly, that shs
may not be classed among the women
who are the dread of all considerable
women on the fparlor cars-the women
who take and hold possession of a toilet.
