THE PRESS.
TUESDAY, JUNE 10.

Both branches of the Massachusetts
legislature have passed what is known as
the Norwegian liquor bill, and as the
governor is known to be favorably dis
posed it is sure to become a law. The
extreme Prohi pitionists are opposed to
it, as they are to every form of liquor
regulation, because they hold that it in
wolves a compromise with evil. But the
public generally are disposed to give it a
trial. Very likely it's special advocates
claim too much for it, just as the special
advocates of prohibition and high license
claim too much for those systems.
Complete success under any system is ex-
tremely unlikely. Until mems appetites
for strong drink disappear liquor will be
sold in spite of all laws for it's repression
or extinction. The practical question is,
what system will restrict it's sale the
most, and when this is demonstrated it
is also demonstrated which system is
the best. With all the claims made for
high license experience has shown that
its restrictive force is not so great as that
of prohibition. The Norwegian system
may prove superior to both. If it does
there is no good reason why it should
not be adopted in preference to either.
The fact cal be determined only by ex-
pertinent. and we are glad that it is to
be made in community where the con-
ditions are so favorable for thorough
trial as in Massachusetts.

lected, including the SO per cent. penalty
exacted for tax evasion, and the auditor
received per cent. for certifying the
supplementary duplicate to the county
treasurer The law made fortunes for
the inquisitors. During the last five
years it has brought in on an average
about $780, 900 year in revenue, and bv
far the greater part of this was in the
five counties containing large cities 1t
was favorite practice of the inquisitors
to attack the estates of wealthy men.
The appraisal filed in the probate court
usually and enabled them without much
effort to collect back taxes running sinto
the thousands. The county auditors
were also interested pecuniarily in every
case, and the revenues of many of these
officers were largely increased by the
law. Every effort to secure the repeal of
the statue failed signally because of the
influence and money used by these per-
sons. Finally the law got into the courts
by reason of the refusal of an estate to
pay hack taxes which the auditors had
declared to be due. The case was heard
by Judge Kicks, who declared that the
act was unconstitutional in that it takes
the property of citizens without "due
process of law" The Judge held that
the auditor in making the supplementary
duplicate. was taking the property of
citizens in manner not according to
due process of law as required in the
fourteenth amendment to the Constitu-
ton. The law allowed the auditor to
certify the duplicate according to the
lnquisitor's report, without giving the
parties affected hearing, and the court
held that the privilege of contesting the
case after the taxes had been certified
was not all that was required under the
fourteenth amendment The statute
failed to require the taxpayer thus at
tackled to be served with a notice of what
the auditor proposed, or to give him a
right to defence before the auditor. It
gave the auditor judicial functions, and
then, gave him percentage if he found
against the tax payer, and allowing him
nothing if he failed to do so. virtually
bribed him to rend er verdict for the
public against the citizens attacked. In
the case before the court the auditors fee
would have amounted to the nice sum of
SS7, $50. The supplementary duplicate was
lien upon the Taxpayers property as
well as blight upon his honor, and the
judge cited cases where the taxes had
been collected nv diStraipt of goods oS
instances of the operation of the law
whereby the taxpayer was given no op-
portunity to be heard either upon the
validity or the amount of the assess
nlent. This. he declared. was taking
property without regard to due process
of law, and therefore unconstitutional.
The law, instead of giving the accused
right to appear and make defence at
the time when it was most valuable and
efficient, only accorded the right to de-
fend after judgment and conviction

AN INTERESTING TAX DECISION.

Judge Kicks, of Ohio, has recently given
an interesting and important decision
bearing On the collection of taxes on
personal property. AS is well known,
Ohio has enacted some very drastic laws
for the discovery of personal property
and the collection of taxes thereon.
Many years ago it adopted what is known
as the listing" system, and year after
year since it has grated on to it amend
ments designed to make it more effective,
A few years ago it passed what is known
there as the "inquisitor law 1t au-

The Mystery of the Partician Club, by
Albert d. Vandam, author of An Eng
lishman in Paris, is detective story,
and of detective stories it is always safe
to say that they will be liked by those
persons who find special charm in read
ing of the unraveling of the web woven
by crime in its attempt to conceal itself.
An attendant in the card room of the
"Patrician" has been foully murdered.
Among the aristoeratic frequetenrs of the

Two Strings to His Bow, by Walter
Mitchell, author of Bryan Maurice,
brings before the reader rather singu-
lar Transformation act in the merging of
a young Episcopalian rector into d butler
or waiter at table and back again. The
change is made necessary by forgery,
neatly pointing to the young minister,
who is as good as gold and quite too
honorably minded to announce the facts
and clear himself of blame early in the
day. And indeed but for this reluc-
tance in stories generally many an ex-
cellent plot would be spoiled, so that per-
haps it may be good thing, in liter
airy way that so little straightforward
explanation comes about.
The mid portion of Two Strings to His
Bow is rather quiet and composed. Here
and there are bright sayings, and love
story ripples through the text. But
towards the close obstacles bristle again
and there is a deal of clearing away to
be done before the end is reached. (Bos-

SOME VERY SIGNIFICANT srRAws

Two very significant utterances bearing
on the next Republican candidate for the
Presidency have recently appeared. One
of them is an editorial utterance by the
Cincinnati Commercial-Gaze cite, the
most prominent Republican paper in
Ohio, which is published elsewhere in
this issue. 1t is clear and unmistaka-
Die suggestion that in Mr.. Reed the Re-
pubieans II find candidate in every
way suite TO their needs, and one who
will arouse the enthusiasm of Republi-
cans all over the country. Coming from
leading paper of State which con-
tains a prominent candidate, it is of
great significance. The other utterance
comes from Col. Conger. the member of
the national Republican committee of
this same State of Ohio. Col. Conger
has seen the report of his words and
declares that it is correct Col. Conger's
opposition to Mckinley is based on his
belief that the nomination of the latter
would make the Mckinley bill the chief
issue OF the campaign and would cause
the whole campaign to turn on the uues-
ton of approval or disapproval of a par
ticular measure which a great many adj
vocates of protection have not believed
altogether wise. While Col. Conger did
not dir city advocate the nomination Of
any particular man, he did drop this sig
nificant sentence when he was spea king of
the criticism he had been subjected to in
Ohio for his opposition to Mr.. Mckinley
81 do not quite understand what all
this political hubbub is about, but the
people who are kicking it up are killing
off their candidate and making votes for
Tom Reed every d ,y.n Tnat there should
be so strong sentiment in Ohio in favor
of Mr.. Reed was unlocked for, and it's
existence is the strongest kind of proof
of his wide strength and popularity,
Less unlocked for perhaps, but still of
great significance, is the report that is in
circu alton in Washington and generally
believed that both senators of the great
State of Pennsylvania have declared in
favor of Mr.. Reed.
