Written for the Sunday Standard.
This summer shirt waists with shirt,
or dress sleeves, will be more of ne
cessity than ever before. For morning
there are the ginghams or madras
waists in such profusion that 1t is be-
wildering to think of them even; then
there are the white pique waists, winch
are appropriate for mornings and after
moons. Some of these latter are very
handsome, as will be seen by our Illus
trations this week of one richly EN-
broidered on the material itself. This
waist is an imported model and can
never be common, both on account Of
its cost and its style. Why cannot

erers CODY it. instead of making table
and sideboard covers in lace, as SO
many seem fond of doing summer
mornings on hotel verandas? After the
pique waists come those of white India

Pique skirts will be much worn; the

a speciality of trosseau. The novelty
of the season is the sleeveless night
gown. This has only a fall of lace in
serted and edged batiste, like our illus
tration, or an ACCORDION pleating of
the material. These gowns have low
round or square necks, of course and
are many of them belted in al the waist
with ribbons, and have a lace edged
ruffle around the bottom. They are
pointed round. square or cut across the
figure in a straight line and extending
over the tops of the sleeves. AS these
yokes are almost invariably of white,
with lace overlaid in white, or ecru,
the effect is that of a very decollete
gown. All THIS applies specially to foul
ards, and, when the skirt is cut very
narrow indeed to quite a distance below

described above, the wearer has

The extent to which personal property
of peculiar kind escapes taxation is
shown by a reference to seventy-one es-
tates in California, and by comparison Of
the appraised value of this class of prom
erty with its assessed valuation for taxa
ton.
One decedent paid taxes on $19, 729 of
personal property, whereas his personal
estate was appraised shortly afterward
at $6,6S4, 914 rs. Another paid taxes on
$5S75 while his estate was appraised at

And of the seventy-one estates the ap-
praisement of personality was $11 ,945 205 30,
as against an assessed valuation of $685.

ity escaped assessment entirely.
There are two States in the Union-New
Jersey and PennsylVania-which do not

have been in operation for many years
and have stood the tests of State and ma

collect the revenue necessary for the sup
port of the Government is always the
most serious duty of the State. The bur
den of taxation SO easily falls upon the
material and tangible things, the real and
personal property of a community, that
the tendency is to levy upon such prop
erty-holding class an unjust share of
taxation. Another numerous class of our
people, in addition to such property, and
often almost exclusive of 1t, are granted
and enjoy under our laws an eX-
tremely valuable possession in the nature
of corporate rights, privileges and immu-
mites. Such corporate advantages are
always beneficial, and often the source of
great profit This class of property is
very difficult to assess or value, and it
generally fails to contribute its just share
of revenue for the support of that gov
eminent by the sanction of which alone
it enjoys its existence. Our constitution
makers undoubtedly contemplated that
this class should be taxed for the benefit
of the State. l would, therefore, recon-
mend that, under section II, article XIII,
of the constitution, you formulate and I'm
pose upon all Corporations in this

ated income tax, so adjusted that they be

In this connection I wish to state that
the San Francisco Board of Harbor Com
missioners have not acted under the act
of 1876. In 1895 / endeavored as Governor
to have the Harbor Commissioners pro-
coed under said act, and urged that they
do so. The Attorney General of the State,
w. f. Fitzgerald, also gave his opinion
that the act of 1876 was. the one under
which they should proceed. They refused
to comply with the act of 1876, either as
to the original plans or the specifications
thereof. AS Governor, | further objected
to members of the board expending on
that building, foundation and superstruc-
ture an amount in excess of 5000 ,000 which
deemed the full amount contemplated
by the people for that purpose. Acting
under legal advice, the then board, not
being of my appointees, again failed to
comply with my desires, and the Harbor
building, foundations and superstructure
were contracted for and constructed at
cost of about 81, 900 ,000 and not in any
manner under the act of 1876. l brought
