E. Waite, of Garden City, returned
yesterday from Byron, Mimi, where
he attended the funeral of his
brother, ALT. Waite, last Friday, ALI.
Waite resided sin Garden City for
many years, but moved away fifteen

throughout the county. His death
occurred in Todd county, but the re-
mains were taken to Byron for inter-

A Scandinavian, who is member
of the committee appointed Satur-
day night, in speaking of the attempt
to start new cemetery, said today:
1--WE have had two public meetings
and have seen or heard but two men
who are against the plan. We have
not decided upon a location, but will
look at several and then will choose
the best we can for the money" The
Congregationalists and Methodists
are anxious that the Lutherans
should 60 in with them, but leading
Lutherans say that this is not likely
to be the case.
Supt. Varney has notice in the
papers calling upon parents who have
children over five years old whom
they desire to send to school to send
them now. The law requires an at
tendance of forty days in order to be
apportioned state school money, and
there is only little over forty days
of school remaining. For each pupil
who has attended school forty days
during the year, the district will re-
ceive about SO. so. 1t will be seen that
if the enrolment is increased by the
coming in of fifty or hundred
pupils it will make quite a difference
in the amount of money to be re.
ceived.

A Monster Palace.

Spain possesses one Of the largest
buildings in the world. It is at once a
palace, u museum, a library, a picture
gallery, q monastery. church and a
burial place. This wonderful edifice is
called the Escorial, although the name
is very generally corrupted both in Eng
land and America into "Escurial.
The Escorial was commenced in 1868
by order of Philip ii Of Spain and was
intended partly as royal burying place
for the kings of Spain and partly as a
oommemoration of Philips victory over
the French at st. Quentin in 1867. 1t is
built entirely of granite and measures
744 feet in length by $50 feet in breadth
At each corner is tower 200 feet in
height The building is supposed to
represent an enormous gridiron lying
upside down, and this shape is believed
to have reference to st. Lawrence, who
was martyred on a gridiron.
Twenty.one years were spent in build
ing it, and it cost over sig, 1000, 900. 1t

lust and Unjust

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles Herald:
1t is announced that the city government
Of Louisville. KY. has adopted a Law ex-
emptins from city taxation for period OF
five years all new manufactures that may
be established within the corporate limits.
1t Is said that this is done "for the purpose
Of attracting capital and factories from
places where taxes are at present levied
on industries"
Here we have another Illustration Of how
civil governments, like individuais,s ). ca n
come very near TO justice and yet miss It..
To exempt manufactures from taxation is
of itself just and wise. To assess fines upon
such industries is a moral crime. But why
exempt rev manufactures and continue
to impose needless burdens on those that
have been established some time and are
yet in operation? If 1t is right to tax one
1t must be right to tax the other also. Sup
pose the Louisville government should ex-
empt from taxation all new buildings that
might be erected in the town after a GER
tain date, but continuing the tax on build
ings already there. How would that strike
the owners of houses and business blocks
which constitute a large proportion of the
aggregate wealth of that community? Such
outrageous discrimination would cause
Kentucky blood to become hot, and there
would likely be serious ruction between
the wronged property owners and the city
authorities. Yet such discrimination would
be no more unjust than that which is to be
made In the case Of manufacturers
Why should the present manufactures
in Louisville be taxed while those estab-
lished later escape the burden? 1 defy any
one to furnish logical reason for such a
measure.
Then. again, II 1t is right and wise to ex-
empt manufactures, why is 1t not right
and wise to exempt all other kinds Of legit-
innate industries?
There is only one logical, scientiflc, and
just method of dealing with productive en-
terprises Of whatever name or nature,
They should all be left free to do the work
for which they were intended. without gov
ernmental restrictions or burdens. But
here comes the superficial thinker with the
stereotyped declaration that I'VE must have
revenue for public purposes" OF course
we must, and nature has made ample pro-
vision for public revenue in the form of
ground rent, which the community as a
whole produces, and which, therefore, be-
longs to the community.
