REWARD FOR A BUTCHER


CoNsTANT1NoPLE, Nov. 15.-News
received here to-day from the district
of Van records fresh massacres of
Armenian Christians there. The Kurds
of Van are said to be attacking and
piilaging the Armenian villages and
the Turkish officials are reported to
be powerless to preserve order.
1t is rumored that Shakir Pasha, the
imperial high commissioner for Ar
menian reforms, is about to be recalled
in order that he may be appointed
grand vizier in succession to Hall
Rifat Pasha, the present incumbent of
that Office. If the rumor is correct
this would seem to be another open
defiance of the powers, for Shakir
Pasha is regarded as the chief butcher
of the porte. Since his appearance at
Erzeroum as high commissioner the
massacres there have been more bloody
and frequent than ever before and he
has done nothing to punish the offend
ers. In fact he has been charged
with calmly looking on while the
Turkish soldiery fred upon every help

Young Falcons Mt School,

time they arc strong enough to pull at and
break up the quarries brought to them it
Is one long course Of instruction. The old
birds know perfectly we'll what the young
ones will have TO do, and they get them
fit for doing it as soon as they can. They
compel them TO take longer flights day
after day and teach them how to stoop-
that is, strike at their quarry
Ono or the other will shoot up with n
portion of feather, or it may be fur fol-
lowed by tho young hopcfuls. Then the
morsel is dropped from the clutch. Down
they dash for it, and the one that makes
the quickest stoop secures the prize be
fore it reaches the ground. When the old
birds think the young can fend for them
selves, off they 60.
This is not case Of choice but nccos

EARTH ROAD BUILDING.
Instsuttions For Grading, Rolling and
Shaping Material to Avoid.

III constructing new dirt roads all
stumps, brush, vegetable matter, rocks
and powders should DO removed from
the surface and the resulting holes filed
in with suitable material, carefully and
thoroughly tamped or rolled, before the
road embankment is commenced. No
perishable material should be used in
forming the permanent embankment.
Wherever the subgrade soil is found
unsuitable it should be removed and re-
placed with good material rolled to a
bearing. The roadbed, having been
brought TO the required grade and crown,
should be rolled several times to com.
pact the surface. All inequalities dis
covered during the rolling should be
leveled up and rerolled. On the prepared
subgrado the earth should DO spread,
narrowed If necessary, and then rolled
to bearing by passing the UNPUBLISHED
road roller number of times over ev-
cry portion of the surface Of the section.
In level countries and with narrow
roads enough material may be excavat-
ed to raise tho roadway above tho sub.
grade in forming the side bitches by
means of road machines If not, the re.
quired earth should be obtained by wild
ening the side excavations, or from cut
tings on the line of tho new roadway,
or from borrow pits close by, elevating
graders and modern dumping wagons
being preferably used for this purpose.
When the earth is brought up to the
final height, it is again narrowed, then
trimmed by means of road Jewelers. or
road machines and ultimately rolled to
solid and smooth surface with road
rollers gradually increased in weight by
the addition Of ballast.
No filling should be brought up in
layers exceeding nine inches in depth.
During the rolling sprinkling should
DO attended TO wherever the character
Of the soil requires such aid. Tho cross
section of the roadway must be main
tained during the last rolling stage by
the addition of earth as needed. On clay
soils a layer of sand, gravel or ashes
spread on the roadway will prevent the
sticking of the clay to the roller. AS
previously explained, the finishing
touches to the road surface should be
given by tho heaviest rollers at hand
Before the earth road is opened to traffic
the side bitches should be cleaned and
left with the drain thing in good work
ing order. --Strcidinger and Won Gel

Taxation of Classes.

Justice Fields views, expressed
IN the income tax case, present fun-
damental principles in plain and
forcible way, and point out the
grave danger of legislation that
discrlminates against certain classes,
particularly in taxation for the sup
port of the government. The fran
ers of the Constitution provided
that Federal taxes should be i'm
posed in a uniform manner, and
with equal effect upon all citizens,
as nearly as practicable in proper
ton to the value of their property.
The Constitution does not recognize
the idea Of limitation or exemption,
for the purpose of causing some to
pay and permitting others to escape.
No authority is given congress to
select any one element of the popu-
lation as the proper one to bear
most Of the burden, or that persons
owning less than prescribed in
come shall go free of taxation.
To quote from Justice Field "If the
purely arbitrary limitation of four
thousand dollars in the present law
can be sustained, the limitation of
future congresses may be fixed at
such an amount as a
board of walking delegates may deem
necessary" then the whole cost of
the support of the government
might be put upon small minority
of the people.
1t is inevitable that in any form
of taxation there will be more or less
inequality, aud no plan has yet been
devised by which strict justice and
fairness in this respect can be
secured. 1t is practically impossible
to treat all exactly alike and the
best that can be done is to approx
mate that result in such degree as
the existing condition of affairs will
permit. This does not, however,
imply the right to discriminate by
exacting tribute from a certain class,
or benetiting one class AT the expense
of another.
The present income tax law was
framed according to the claim that
such right exists, and its advocates
frankly admit that its principal
object was to compel certain por-
ton of the population to contribute
the most Of the revenue which it
was expected to provide. In other
words, it was intended to perpetrate
a wrong by reversing the constitu-
tlonal requirements of uniformity in
Federal taxation. The only argu-
ments presented in its favor were
simply appeals to prejudice and
selfshness, and nobody undertook
TO defend it on the ground of justice
or impartial patriotism. Justice
Field declares that the tendency Of
such legislation is to promote the
antagonism of classes, and To make
political contests ga war of the poor
against the rich," and his opinion
merits the serious consideration Of
all good citizens.
