ONO is not the only State that stands

ONO is not the only State that stands
in need of more equitable tax laws and
also of more stringent means of enforcing
what she already has. The Governors
of New York and Pennsylvania, in their
annual messages, both cry out against
the evasion of taxation by owners of
personal property. 1t seems true that
as long as human nature remains as
now, men will evade by any means nee
essary the collection of taxes. Personal
property is so easily concealed, and in
addition to that, men who are ordinarily
honest will resort to all manner of
shady transactions to defraud the
public treasury. Thus, men who are
honest are forced to bear dispropor-
tionate share of taxation. If the penalty
of heavy fine and imprisonment were
imposed for an evasion of taxation by
any means whatsoever, and then it were
enforced by few convictions as an ex-
ample, people would be astonished at
the amount of hidden property that
would come to light.

THE stormy period in France seems to
be about at its height. The imminent
danger arose from the socialists, who
averred their intention of taking advan-
tage of any governmental trouble in
overturning the existing state of affairs.
No danger was apprehended from mon
archism, for the sentiment is weak, and
there are no great leaders. But France
is bent on knowing all about the Panama
Canal frauds, and Paris is garrisoned as
the facts are slowly ferreted out.

After the Same Girl.

Two of our boys were after the same
girl for several weeks and the "joke"
went so far that both of them were
licensed by Judge Ferrall to marry her.
They both pressed their claims so han d
that the girl married the talone "in order
to get rid of him." Rev. Rader tied the
knot on the 22d. Now some of the girls
can't understand how one girl can have
two beaux and they can't get one. This
would be a puzzle to some people. Car
