she was a heartless flirt. How little do we
know the motives of our. fellow creatures.
How prone are we to mistudge the actions
OF others!- Bessie was no flirt, but high
minded, conscientious girl, with an ambition
AN ambition which she did. not babble
about to the world, and therefore the world
failed to appreciate her, as it nearly always
falls to appreciate those who do not take 1T
into their confidence.
1t came to be currently reported in the
hotel that BESSIE had refused no less than
seven of the young men who mad been
staying there, and as these young men hao,

either by the last train at night or the

gan to wonder what the matter was, espe-
cially as each of the departing guests had
delight with the hotel and its surround
hiss. Several of them had stated to the
proprietor that they had abandoned their
intention of proceeding further with their
SWISS tour. so satisfied were they with
Thun and all it's belongings. Thus did the

as the proprietor. Archie Severance was
o.se of the last to fall under the speii OF
BESSIE, if. indeed, it is correct to speak or
Archie falling at all. He was very de-
Eberate young man. not given to doing any
thing precipitously, but there is no doubt
that the charming personality of Bessie fas-
;!rated him, although he seemed to content
himself with admiring her at distance.
Bessie, somehow. did not seem to care about
being admired from a distance, and once
when Archie was promenading back and
forth on the terrace above the river, She
SIN led sweetly at him from her book, and
he sat down beside her. Jimmy Wellman
had gone that morning, and the rest had
not yet found it out. Jimmy had SO com
pletely monopolized Miss Durand for the
last few days that no one else had had a
chance but now that he had departed.
Bessie sat alone on the terrace. which was
a most unusual state of things.

hattering manner. that you are a famous

"Oh, not famous: far from it," said
Archie, modeslly. Il have been up the

u.-BESSIE'S CONFESSION.
August 1.-The keeping of a diary is a
silly fashion, and 1 am sure 1 would not
bother with one, if my memory were good
and If 1 had not a great object in view
However, l do not intend this book to be
more than a collection of notes that will be
useful to me when 1 begin my novel. The
novel is to be the work of my life and I
mean to use every talent I may have to
make 1t unique and true to life. 1 think
the New Woman novel is thing of the
past, and that the time has now come for
a novel Of the old sort, yet written with a
fidelity to life such as has never been at
tempted by the old novelists. A painter or
a sculptor uses model while producing a
great picture or great statue. Why should
not writer use model also? The motive
of all great novels must be love, and the
eliminating point Of a love story Is the
proposal. In no novel that 1 have ever
read is the proposal well done. Men evil
IDENTIFY do not talk to each other about the
proposals they make, therefore, a man
ritter has merely his own experience to go
Upon, so his proposals have a sameness;
his hero proposes just as he himself has
done or would do. Women writer's seem to
have more imagination in this matter but
they describe a proposal as they would like
it to be, and not as it actually is. 1 find
that 1t Is quite an easy thing to get a
man to propose. 1 suppose have gift
that way, and besides there is no denying
the fact that I am handsome and perhaps
that Is something of an aid 1 therefore
intend to write down In this book all my
proposals, using the exact language the
man employed, and thus I shall have the
proposals in my novel precisely as they
occurred. shall also set down here any
thoughts that may be of use to me as I
write my book.
August Il shall hereafter not date the
notes in this book; that will make 1t look
less like diary, which I detest. We are
in Thun, which Is a lovely place. Hum
boldt, whoever he Is or was, said it Is one
of the three prettiest spots on earth. I
wonder what the names are of the other
at this hotel, but 1 see it Is full of youne

rather ugly and given to gossip think this
is just the place for the carrying out of
my ideas The average young man is al

The report of the eXecu-

general welfare of the community.

rights of private property; nor social

all instruments of production; nor ma

all methods of distribution. 1t leaves

details undisturbed except by gradual

But it does bring in the principle of

OF the stock Owner.

A person who chooses to invest his
surplus capital in stocks or bonds gives
no such visible evidence of wealth as
one whose property consists in lands
and houses.
To allow such personal property To
escape bearing a proportional shar7
of the public burdens is to increase the
difficulties of the situation, making the
swner of such property careless and
Indifferent about all public duties.
They are not affected by extravagant
public expenditures, or ultra economical
AiggardIiness. 1t matters not to them
whether the rate of taxation be high or
low. Their property is in such shape
as TO be unaffected by rates that others
feel quickly and keenIy. Suppose one
man invests $500 in an education, and
another a similar amount in a farm.
The one pays no taxes on the profess
sional ability that returns him large
income: the other is so heavily taxed
that he can hardly earn more than
a bare livelihood Each producer
should contribute of his abundance a
small mOiety at the most. Ability to
pay will vary with the varying income.
For his superior ability or his eXcep-
tienal privileges he has full opportu-
nifty and enjoyment, subject only to
the small royalty to be paid the Gov
eminent as for the privilege of working
a gold mine. Such a scheme cannot
justly be called eXtortionate. The
principle of special duties or privileges
for holders of property beyond a GER
tain standard is recognized in the Ha-
waiian Constitution by its restriction

(Conclusion.)

tConcluSIon.)
Decision of U. y. Supreme Court
It is curious to note the recent de
cision of the United States Supreme
Court, by a vote of to 4, against an in
come tax. reversed a former unanimous
decision of seven judges in favor OF
such tax. The decision in favor OF
an income tax was based upon the opin-
ION that such a tax comes under the
provision of the constitution art l.,
Sec. s. that Congress shall have power
10 lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts
and excuses, but all duties, i'm
posts and excuses shall be uniform
throughout the United States y
1t is stated that at the time the con-
satution was adopted the word duty
comprised every tax not laid by rule of
superintendent, The intention of the
trainers of the constitution was that all
direct taxes, meaning taxes on persons
or land. should be apportioned accord
ing TO population, and all other taxes
should be uniform This was the deeis4
ion of the Supreme Court in the case of
Mr.. Hylton's carriage tax in 1876. It
is eorroborated by the curious provision
Of the constitution that slaves shall be
counted in the census az only three
fifths of the actual number for purposes
of representation. They were held as
property, and yet counted as persons
at three-fifths of their personality.
Proportional Taxation.
Proportional taxation, like proper
tional representation, is a needed re-
form of political methods that has
come to stay, because it meets so fairly
and fully the equities of the case. Sup
pose man with $500 income needs
$4eo TO live upon; he has a taxable
surplus of 800. Another man, on
OF $1,000, leaving a taxable surplus of
$500. Is the second man to be taxed
twice the first, or six times the first?
is it not fair that increasing accumu-
lations of property should bear an in
ereasing proportion of public taxation?
The principle has already been adopt
ed in the taxes on estates, the gradu-
ated collateral inheritance tax. This
one tax produced last year in New
York State $1,000, 900. The attempt
is made in this way without great dis
turbance of values to reach these ac-
cumulations of property that have
hitherto evaded their proportional
share of the public burdens. Taxation
in fact has hitherto been largely con-
Quoted upon the principle enunciated
by Montequien, in his Spirit of the
Laws" that a tax is "a portion that
each citizen surrenders of his prop
erty in order to secure the enjoyment
sf the remainder" 1t would represent
the Government as a highwayman,
robbing the stage coach passengers of
their gold and silver coins or bank
bills. but letting them keep their
checks and their bank books.
But the true idea of taxation is the
share contributed by each partner
toward the necessary expenses of the
business. A graduated income tax is
the fairest system that has yet been
devised for adjusting the burdens &C
ccrding to the varying ability. The
possession of large wealth does not
mean corresponding ability to pay
taxes.
