try of free schools and cheap news

Even at the risk Of telling what
hvery schoolboy ought to know, 1 will
say that carbon is one of the common
est as well as one of the most remark
able substances in nature. A lump Of
coke only differs from piece of car
bon by the ash which the coke leaves
behind when burned. AS charcoal is
almost entirely carbon. so wood is
largely composed OF this same element.
Carbon is indeed present everywhere.
In various forms carbon Is in the earth
beneath our feet and in the air which
we breathe. This substance courses
with the blood through our veins; it
IS by carbon that The heat of the body

There is no disputing the right of
the state 70 tax all tangible property,
but beyond that it becomes extortion.
1t is odioUs, and in conflict with in
telligent ideas Of a government of a
free people When the taxing power
seeks 10 lay hands on the revenues of
a corporation or a private business
house, unless, as in the case of a street
railroad company, il IS the subject Of a
charter contract for exclusive priv
ileges.
The trouble is, in figuring what tax
es an express company ought TO pay,
the large volume Of business is taken
as a criterion. 1t is forgotten that
over ninety per cent Of the revenues
is paid out as expenses almost as quick
ly as received, and the profit which is
left, when calculated on the extent OF
territory in which business operations
are conducted, represents but a small
proportion in each state. The injustice
and inequality of such an idea must be
manifest. But the unthinking viii still
continue to pander TO ignorant pre-
JUDGE.
why, they seek even 10 tax The
good viii Of an express company
That is really the essence of some of
the perfdiOUs tax laws which have
been passed within a few years. What
is the good viii? 1t is the most tan
gible form Of personal prcperty-if IL
can be called property at all. It is
so uncertain that while its value may
be fixed at millions today, the slight
est caprice Of ate may utterly destroy
it tomorrow. II is something that in
its very nature can have no perman-
ency or absolute fixed future certainty.
Does one ever hear Of the good will of
a dry goods house or a meat shop be
ing assessed for taxation? what do
they return for that purpose? Simply
an inventory OF their actual assets,
personal and real.
"A reflection OF the service rendered
by express companies in the proper and
expeditions transportation Of the COM
merce Of the people, and the positive
necessity and convenience which it has
become, ought to and does convince
every intelligent person that any in
sidious assaults upon il through I'M
just and unequal taxation, or other
wise, affects the public's own interest,
because they are the most directly sub
served by the carrying business of
the expires companies"

said she was going down to the club

out why he had been born.
She reached up to the gas burner
and said

light?"
Yes, my dear, I'm feeling rather
nervous tonight. Would you mind
looking under the bed to zee il
there's a woman there before you
90 out ?"
