The fact that DR.. Rosson is not a tax
payer is no argument against him but
the fact that he ia not a business man,
has not the proper knowledge of NUM-
cipal affairs, and is known to be con-
trolled by those opposed to municipal
progress and enterprise, is an argument
against his election which we challenge
the Gazette or Mr.. Campbell to answer.
He is utterly untitled for the position
having not even the so-called qualifi-
cation of being taxpayer.
In this article we have been little
more personal than we had intended to
be during this campaign, but the sense

alleged ground that he paid no taxes into

to show that DR.. R9Ss0n not only does
not pay single cent of tar into the city or
county treasury but that he is also in
capable of transacting the most COM
mon business affairs unless they are
purely clerical. He has not the ex-
ecutive ability necessary for mayor, as
exhibited by the business opportunities
which he has neglected in his own af-
fairs.

NEITHER A TAXPAYER NOR A

BUSINESS MAN.
While the matter OF taxes is being
discussed by the Gazette and Mr.. Camp
bell, it might be pertinent to inquire
how much tax.Dr. Rosson pays, any
way; and how much he ought to pay
if he had possessed even the most
ordinary business ability.
According to the Gazette he has been
here seventeen years. II he was man
with sufficient business capacity to
make a good mayor, he should have
earned at his profession not less than
$4,000 a year or $65, 900 for the thirteen
years before he went into the treasurer's
office. The four years he was in that Of
fee his salary with commissions amount
ed to not less than $35, 900, making total
that he should have earned in seven
teen years of 100000. With the most
ordinary business sagacity this sum
ought to have been invested in man
ner to have doubled itself, and DIR.
Rosson should therefore be worth at
least 100000 and pay tax on that
amount. But does he do it? The an
swer is that DR.. Rosson does not pay q
single cent of city tao as shown by the
city tao rolls. No one believes
that he would evade the payment OF
honest tax, and the fact is that
DR.. Rosson is not tax payer and is al
so a very poor business man. With an
opportunity to have honestly acquired
a fortune he has not saved enough
to have his name on the city
tax roll. So much for Rosson as
a taxpayer and business man. Do
the voters want a man so incomnetent
to make money for himself elected to
the Office of mayor? 1t would be a
public calamity if a man should be
elected mayor who, during the last five
years ha been paid 1000 by the
county, and yet has conducted his bust
ness affairs so badly that he does not
pay the city a single cent of tax. 1t
would be misfortune if man who
has made failure of his own business
opportunities, should be placed in
position where his bad business capacity

his discovery, but on June IL, 1914, he

Ricci. This letter and Ricci's objec-
lions to the experiment were publish.
ed in 1868 by O. Dali, n friend of Tor
ricell's, and, as this work is now ex-
ceedingly. rare, Prof. Hellmann has
reprinted the correspondence In the

says Nature, are noteworthy, especial
ly those In which Torricelli states that
1t was not merely a question of pro-
ducing a vacuum, but Of making an
instrument which would indicate the
changes of the atmosphere. The first

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
E AND DUCKS.

Geese and ducks should be young,
but it is more difficult to judge of the
age and quality of the goose than OF
any other bird. Both geese and ducks
should have white, soft fat, yellow feet
and tender wings. The windpipe
should be brittle, breaking easily
when pressed with the thumb and
finger. Wild and tamo are usually
easily distinguishable. One point can
always be noted. Tame ducks have
thick, yellowish feet, while wild ducks
have feet of a reddish tinge. OF the
wild ducks the finest is the canvas
back, which is distinguished from the
others by the feathers of the head be-
ing short and smooth, and the head
and neck of a deep chestnut color. The
bill is entirely greenish black, while
that of the rcd head, which with the
mallard ranks next in quality to the
canvas back, is dull blue. New York
