Chicago Post


The president Of the New YORK BOARD OF
tax commissioners complains Inas never
was there SO much swearing or OF taxes
on personal property as this year. hs
ftr.ls chat snillionatres have gone to small
cities stayed there long enough 10 vote:
and returned to New York to report that
they had no personal property IN the
state liable TO taxation New York has
an absurd law declaring that mans
residence is the place where he votes. ana
th,. naturally facilitates evasion and sub
terfuEe. The president says that persons
who have considerable property are CIV
ing uo their residences in New York ana
the city Is losing heavily. Curiousiy
enough all attempts to do away with the
tax on personality Is stubbornly resisted
by the very elements who suffer most
from the inequality and injustice or me
present system, the farmers and hone-
owning mechanics Of the country dis
sricts. The New York Reform Club has
for years been trying to impress
this farmers with the need OF
tax reform. but Its success has
not been conspicuous. Not only does
real estate pay moro than Its proper
share as a result of wholesale evasion OF
taxation on personally. but 1t Is plain that
even the tax on personal property falls
more heavily upon farmers having horses.
cattle. machinery. hay and garnered grain
than on the owners Of bonds ana mort
rages To be sure. the country legislators
have voted for inheritance taxes, but the
relief from that source Is prpblemattcal
the tax having been made so high and
progressive as to encourage violation and
fraud.

FACTS OF INTEREST.

The Berlin municipal authorities have
granted license to a society to erect in
public places ana squares where children
are in the habit of playing automatic
machines for the sale Of condensed milk.
The combination of a bicycle lock and
Coasters" or foct-rests. has just been
patented. the rests swinging around on
the forks to meet each other through the
spokes of the wheel. where they are
locked.
Some idea OF the magnitude of the great
Siberian railway, now in course Of con-
struction by the Russian government,
may be gathered from the fact that by
changing the route thousand miles were
saved 1t is expected that through trains
will be run over the line within two years.
The strict regulations for bicyclers hith-
erto enforced in Austria have recently been
greatly relaxed by an order of Count Kfei-
mansegg. the official having this matter in
charge. The requirements of an examina-
ton by the police of ali bicyclists have been
dispensed with, and henceforth riders can
decide for themselves whether they are
sufficiently skillful to ride in the public
streets or not.
