ARB0R DAY At BUTLER.
Trees Planted by the Different Col
lege Classes.

Yesterday was observed at Butler College
as Arbor day and a general holiday was
given. At 8 o'clock the students, faculty
and visitors gathered in the chapel for the
exercises Of the morning. The chapel was
especially decorated for the occasion. Pur-
pie bunting formed an arch at the back
of the room and was hung on the side walls.
The speakers desk was covered with an
American flag, and at one side was a tall
jar OF chrysanthemums Large flags
adorned the platform and were draped from
the balcony. The students came into the
chapel in classes, giving their class yells
as they came. All wore streamers of class
colors and all the colors of the rainbow
seemed to be represented, predominant
among which were the yellow ribbons and
chrysanthemums of the sophomores and the
red ribbons and carnations of the freshmen.
The devotional exercises were conducted
by Rev. Burris A. Jenkins, of the Third
Christian Church of Indianapolis. All Joined
in singing the national hymn, after which
President Butler delivered a short address,
at the close of his remarks introducing w.
W. Woollen. Mr.. Woollen is well known as
a lover of trees and his speech was full
Of appreciation of the beauty and blessings
President Butler introduced Mr. D. NJ.

Rev. John E. Pounds, of the Central-ave-
nue. Christian Church, then gave short
talk. after which Professor Miller led the
students in singing Our Alma Mater" The
class exercises were. to have been held on
the campus as each class dedicated its
tree, but owing to the cold the speeches were
made in the chapel. The freshman class
was represented by Joseph Sweeney. The
sophomores had evidently expected to fill
large portion of the programme and had
three speakers. but lack of time cut them
down to two and Miss May Griggs and Mr..
Shelby Watts spoke for the class. The rep
resentative of the juniors was Wilmer VIII
son, after which the juniors sang their class
song. Mr.. Rioch and Mr.. Ezra Roberts
spoke for the senior class, and announced
that they christened the two birch trees
which they were planting. the one Ovid
Butler the other William Woollen. Prof.
Hugh. TIL. Miller. of the class of 49, spoke
in behalf of that class, christening its tree
Allen r. Benton. Three members of the class
of 81 were present, Rev. E. P. Wise, Prof.
Omar Wilson and Rev. B. t. Daley; Mr..
Daley made a short speech, giving the
name of Martha Murray, whose death oc-
Cured short time ago and who was a
member of this class, to the tree planted by
'S7. The audience then dispersed and soon
the campus was dotted with groups of stu
dents planting their trees. Each class tree
has long streamers of bright colors waving
from it's branches and despite the cold the
loyal class men bravely stood by till the
last spade of sod was laid. Besides the
trees set out by the students several hun
dred were planted by the college directors.

INSURANCE TAXATION.
The Startling and Novel Claim of the
Indiana Tax Board.

AT the last session of the Indiana Legis-
lature an attempt was made to tax the
cash surrender and paid-up value of life
insurance policies in that State. The en-
deavor originated with the State Board of
Taxation, which asked the Legislature to
enact bill for the novel and startling
purpose in question. The Legislature re-
fused, but alter adjournment the Tax Com
missioners proceeded to act in the matter
just as though they had been accorded the
desired statutory authority They based
render values upon an old provision of the
revenue law requiring all property to be
taxed at its cash value Company man.
ayers and policy holders generally naturally
demurred at this unprecedented conclusion
of the Tax Commissioners and took the
matter to the Supreme Court, where it is
now pending.
Pennsylvania is the only other State where
the idea of this sort of taxation has ever
been preached and it was Immediately de-
feated there. OF course the matter will be
tribunal where it is now under considera-
ton, but 1t will be a novelty, not to say a
hardship, if 1t shall be established that
men are to be taxed for trying to protect
their dependents. Besides, 1t will be an in
teresting thing H. see if cash surrender and
paid-up life insurance policies have q value
that constitutes them taxable property.
The right of a State Legislature to tax or
attempt to tax almost anything Is not denied
but that State Board of Taxation is prlvi-
legged TO levy upon whatever Ii pleases es-
pecially where such right has been dis
tinctly refused by the Legislature, is a claim
new enough to excite more than ordinary
attention and its legal determination will be
awaited with interest.

Carl Snyder, in Review OF Reviews.
A line drawn from Buffalo through Pitts
burg to Denver and northWard to the Arctic
ocean will hardly circumscribe the area, all
Of whose roadways, so to speak, lead to the
lakes. This great basin is the treasury of
the continent. 1t contains the great depos-
it's of ores and fuels, it manufactures most
extensively, it almost feeds the Nation, it
produces the larger portion of our exports,
save that of cotton, and it consumes the
larger portion of our imports.
Some, at least, of the millions populating
this basin know that 1t costs almost as
much to transship their cargoes at Buffalo
as it does to carry these the entire length
of the lakes. They see that they pay as
much for carrying a bushel of grain from
Dakota to Liverpool as will carry two and
a half competing bushels from Argentine
They know further that if their ships. once
afoat on the great lakes, could go on to
the ports of the Atlantic in uninterrupted
course. they would be put in touch with the
new or greater markets, which we now
entirely cut off from a part of their prod
ucts and TO reach which they pay dearly for
the rest. There is little doubt, in view of
the steady cheapening Of lake rates, that in
a few years a cargo could be carried from
Chicago or Duluth to New York and per-
haps in time to Liverpool for little more
than the present carriage to Buffalo.

Representative James A. Hemenway, of
the Evansville district, was in the city
yesterday making a brief visit among his
friends. He reports his constituency well
satisfied with the work of the extra session
and the material results that have followed
the passage of the tariff bill.

jects before Congress at the coming ses-
sion." said he last evening in response to
the inquiry of a Journal reporter, among
them the vital problem of rational and con-
sentative currency legislation. l am one of
those who look for good results from the
work of the monetary commission, and hope
to see it report a plan that is practicable

1t is possible that in another year Nine.

the rising generation in that capacity better
than Nine. Modjeska, although to such an

COUNTY APPOINTMENT
Physicians Candidates for Institution
Positions.

Among the appointments to be made by
the County Commissioners the first of the
year are physicians for the workhouse,
poor farm and the Jail. There is considera-
BILE speculation as to these appointments. 1t
is understood by some that the commission
ers will appoint new men to these places.
DR.. Ridpath it is said, is candidate for
the position of workhouse physician, and
DR.. Wall wants to serve as the poor farm
doctor. DR.. Homer Jones is also in the race
for Jail physician. The present force of
doctors was appointed by the commission
ers two years ago.
County Attorney Hovey has given the
commissioners to understand he does not
desire to be reappointed. He says he wants
to devote himself exclusively TO his private
business. The name of w. T. Brown has
been mentioned as a probable successor to
Mr.. HoVey.
