Foreigners In France.
New York Tribune.

Foreigners rasidinS In France cannot be
too careful as regards complying with the
French laws regulating the registration of
the birth OF their children. The registration
OF such births at the American consulate,
for instance, is insufficient. Unless the birth
OF the children of foreign parents is regis
tered at the Mayors office of the district
in which they reside, they incur a penalty
of either q fine of 800 francs or six months
Imprisonment. or both. Moreover, the
French law considers all children of for
eigners born in France as French citizens.
unless before coming of age they decline
French citizenship by making a proper dec
laration to that effect and producing their
certificate of birth at the Marie. Otherwise
they are amenable TO obligatory military
service and punishment as deserters If they
erdeaVor TO eVade il.

Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE dry goods mar
ket seems to be supplied with "a fair number
Of buyers, but they are slow to take adj
vantage of the present low prices which
prevail in all departments OF the trade.
The demand for cotton staples in the way
of bieached and brown goods Is steady, but
very conservative at former prices. Print
cloths rule dull on the basis Of 2 l5-16c for
extras. Orders for prints and printed
fabrics remain on the hand-to-mouth basis,
and the same is true for the demand for
ginghams and wash fabrics, which must
be of attractive styles TO sell at al. For
eign dry goods are dull. The jobbing trade
is moderately active.

A General Purpose Cow.


A good many farmers are coming TO be-
lieve that there is a general purpose farm
cow, in spite OF all that has been said 10 the
contrary. BY a general purpose COW is
meant. of course. one which is good for but
ter and milk, and which Is sufficiently well
bred TO impress all her good characteristic
on her progeny. She may be Of any one OF
several breeds, but IL is a great mistake to
suppose that she may be of no breed at all,
for then she would not possess this last and
most desirable quality. This local farm cow
should nave a large frame, so that her male
calves will be valuable beeves. She should
be well pedigreed, so that the heifer calves
would have a promise 10 become as good
mixers and butter makers as herself. She
should be handled for dairy purposes from
the time she drops her first calf, so as TO
promote the tendency toward a long period
of milking. There are many farms upon
which such a cow will prove of greater
value than one handled especially for milk
or butter.

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1894-02-09

The right of appeal from the settle
ment Of the county auditors is given
by law to any persons who are ag.
grieved thereby or think that injustice
has been done, or fraud committed,
and any lawyer will tell them how to
proceed, or they can ascertain for
themselves by consulting the proper
law books. 1t has been suggested
that the present board of commission
ers should appeal from the recent set
tlement as now published, but as they
have been so freshly indicted into of
fice, and are asyetnot sure of any occa-
sion for an appeal it has been suggest
ed from another source that the proper
person to appeal is some expert in fig.
ures who has given the statement care

TOWNSHIP NOMINATIONS.

The new ballot law of 1893 was in
tended to remedy some of the defects
in the act o. 1891, and in many re-
spects it has done so, and as soon as
all its provisions become known by the
people it will work smoothly and salts.
factorily. Some defective papers have
been filed in the commissioners office,
nominating township officers in certain
districts. r. S. Bowman, of Berwick,
filed nomination papers for Justice of
the Peace without naming the party of
which he is member, as the law re-
quires. Nomination papers from Der
wick, the four Conynghams, Beaver,
Mt. Pleasant, Centre and Hemlock
contain two inspectors on each paper,
which is mistake, as each voter can
vote for but one inspector, and their
nomination must be made with separ.
ate papers. Absence of instructions
on the blanks on this point led to this.
The people who signed them cannot
be blamed for falling into this error,
but it should be borne in mind here
after. Several papers do not name
the party policy. The commissioners
have power to permit the correction of
errors by the persons filing the papers
any time before the tickets are printed.

THAT INJOME TAX.

| There seems TO be IN certain quar-
ters a decided opposition to an in
come tax. Why this should be so,
am at loss to understand. Ofcourse
those who will be directly affected Ivy
it, will very naturally feel inclined to
denur. But that the plan should ind
opponents among those who are at
present paying more than their just
share Of tax, and would to a greater
or less extent be relieved by an In
come tax, is one of the strange things
in this strange world of ours.
II such tax would work an injustice
to any class of our citizens, all honest
men should and no doubt would op-
pose it, The injustice has heretofore
been, that those persons having large
incomes have not been taxed proper
tionally as high as their less favored
neighbors whose income has been
much less. presume it would not
be difficult to find men with an in.
come of FIVE thousand dollars and
over, whose tax bill is not so great as
some others whose income is less than
one-hfth OF that amount. 1t is a fact
beyond controversy, that the poorer
class OF people pay more tax in pro
portion to theiI ability, than the more
wealthy class. This is an injustice,
that will be only partially overcome
by the proposed income tax. 1t will,
however, be a step in the right direc-
ton.
One objection raised against the. in
come tax is, that 1t will be evaded
False returns will be made as 10 the
amount Of their respective incomes.
II they are put under oath, it will lead
tc perjury.
Well. there is number of people
in the world, who are of the opinion
that wealthy men are not always hon
est. 1t would be a little strange if
they were all strictly honest. There
are some who are not very wealthy,
who need little watching. There is
a goodly number, perhaps majority
of people, who regard taxes OF any
kind as burden that may Justly or
properly be evaded. And those peo
pie are not confined to any one class.
If the objection to an income tax
that unscrupulous men are likely to
evade it, is a valid one, why not apply
it to all forms of taxation. Men fre.
quently return less number of acres
OF land than they own, and cut down
on the age Of their horses and cattle to
avoid paying taxes on them. Money
lenders forget to return their money
at interest. Impor ers frequently at
tempt and sometimes succeed in
smuggling to avoid the tariff.
Why not put down all modes of
taxation that designing men can take
advantage of? Let US have a system
of taxation that will hit the rogue as
hard as the honest ran. If such a
system is unattainable, let us have a
system that will divide the burden as
equitably as possible between honest
men with large incomes and those in
more moderate circumstances
l favor an income tax for two
reasons. One is that it draws upon
those who are most able to paw it. and
have hitherto not had their full shaie
of the burden. The other is purely a
selfish one, viz, l will never be bother.
ed with il. The wish is not father to
the thought this time. I sincerely
wish that | had an income sufficient
to place me in that list of taxables.
