axation.

(TNor the Leader. by ]. M. Polen)
Chief among the instruments of ty-
fannfcal power is taxation.
Great fights fer freedom testify to a
common feeling, an instinct that the
vitality OF tyranny reside in this pow
er.
To hold the peoples purse-strings is
to determine their destiny.
II is the manner in which tax op-
crates, net merely the form of govern
ment by which is is imposed, that
throws its influence upon the one side
or the other of the boundary between
liberty and tyranny.
Prof Ely says: Taxation may
create monopolies. or it may prevent
them; 1t may diffuse wealth or it may
concentrate it; it may promote liberty
and equality of rights, or 1t may tend
to the establishment of tyranny and
desDotism; it may be used to
bring about reforms, or it may be so
laid as to aggregate existing grlev-
ances and foster dissensions and hat
red among classes"
Taxation is the Indispensable condl-
tlon of all governments. Taxes are
the food upon which it lives.
Without taxes it must die.
Bad taxation is as ce.tain to- pro
duce bad government and lad social
conditions as is bad food to produce in
digestion and decay in the human
body.
The problem of SO imposing taxes
that they may be as little burden as
possible is one that has perplexed
statesmen in all ages. Equitable tax
alton is the golden key which will un-
lock the door of natural opportunity
and confer on all those who live by
honest toll security. dignity and liber-
ty. But no matter how wisely oul
taxes are levied and collected, if the
expenditure is unwise, evil will result
We have five general divisions OI
government, each clothed with the
power of taxation viz: State. county
township, school and municipal; while
under the last, municipal, there are
subdivisions, the outgrowth of spec
ial legislation. Each division acts
without regard for, and oftimes net in
: harmony with the other. This com
plex political machine is hard tc
manage, and should never be left en-
tirely in the hands of demagogues ant
partisans, or popular government viii
be broken down; will cease to be "a
government of the people, by the peo'
pie and for the people"
One of the principal objects in view
by the Single Tax Club of Marietta, i;
to create wider and deeper interes
in all that pertains to good govern
ment, and especially to taxation
Their motto is. Liberty, Equality ant
Fraternity"
We cordially invite the cooperation
of all, regardless of race, color, relig
ion or politics. in defense of these
grand and fundamental principles.

does not come up tonight it will be beauti-
fully clear, as the moon is unusually
bright. No, I won't light 1t now: will try
dry smoke for once. Good night
When I had left the shop. however, on

mind when I reached the fresh air and had
stopped in front of the show window and
struck q match-my last-and as l stood
there in the semi-darkness the flash from
the flame had illumined my features with
striking clearness. That single match
saved me. I repeated the operation, and
sweetheart flung her arms around my neck
in a paSoXysm of emotion, crying:
He remembers! He recalls that he
thought it strange that man should say
he would take dry smoke and then go
outside and light a match Immediately
This, the second flash, reviveS the first in
stance and recalls the time and the place.
And the tobacconist's testimony on the
stand a few days later saved me, because
it demonstrated that could not have been

my own house, over two miles distant, at
the same time.
Naturally, there is no objection to my

FAVORITE NUMBERS.
The Various Nations Have Wide
Range of Preferences.

From the New York Herald.
That all numbers are not used with equal
frequency by the various nations of the
earth Is clearly shown by M. Delaunay, i
French scientist, who has devoted a good
deal of time to a study of this subject.
"A marked preference" he says. may be
found almost everywhere for the numbers
2, and g. as well as for the multipes OF
these numbers. The Mohammedan coun-
tries. however, form an exception to this
rule. since the number Is not used in them
Neither In Turkey nor In Persia can any
trace of this number be found, and there
are very few places in Egypt where the
people use it. The French and the other
Latin races prefer the numbers and > and
rarely use the number ), whereas, on the
other hand, the English prefer . and and
the Germans and D.
LAS for the Asatic races, find that the
Indians are very partial to the number =
and its various multiples, while the Chi
nese like the Latins, use and more than
any other numbers. In France. Germany
Sweden, Norway, India South America and
the United States the number Z is more or
less popular but the countries in which it is
used most frequently Russia and the
other Slovenian lands In fine, just as a
horror of 3 Is a characteristic of the Turks
so love of is a characteristic of the
Slavs.
THE higher numbers are rarely used
though they are found occasionally in GER
tain countries. such as II in Salvador II In
Mexico, 10 in Spain and 81 In the Philip
inhabitants Of Hawaii are very fond of the
number -, fact which shows that they
know nothing of the prejudice against the
number.
