ernment In the majority of instances luxuries escape taxation, while the nec-
 essaries of life are exorbitantly taxed, | The government lotteries take $14,000,0 ,00O from the pockets of the poor. As for monopOlies, not even the exactions of
 our trusts can compare with the high
 prices charged by the Italian govern
 ment for salt and petroleum. It costs the state about 32 cents to produce 220 pounds of salt. The people must pay SS for this quantity The government charges four times as much for petrole-
 um as 1t costs. The import duty on grain is about 70 cents hundred pounds and the revenue derived from this tax amounts to $9,0O0,000 year. Owing to the system of land taxation large numbers of small holdings are sold every year for arrears of taxes. The manufacturing industries are high ly protected and the cost to the oonsum- CT by the protective duties is increased fully 30 per cent.
 Of course the assassination of the king by an anarchist will not help those in Italy who feel oppressed.

4 CH1NGE.

If the Chinese head men and the Chi nese head woman ever had an idea of killing the foreign ministers, or holding them as hostages, they appear to have changed their minds. The latest is that the Chinese rulers want to send the ministers to Tientsin under a good es- cort, What the ministers think about it does not appear, but they will probably want to be pretty sure of the quality of their escort before they leave Pekin. They may prefer to wait in Pekin until their friends get there.
 It is evident that the Chinese rulers want to get out of the trouble in which they find themselves, and they are afraid of the trouble which is to come, If they succeed in settling the matter without war they will show all the smartness they have been credited with.

DISCONTENT IN ITALY,

| Recent events have called attention to | the discomfort which exists in Italy and | the reasons for It. Professor Villari, who Is a senator of the kingdom of Italy and who is neither an alarmist nor a
 pessimist, declares that all Italians, to
 whatever class of society they may be- long or to whatever political party, are
 as one in speaking i'll of their govern ment. Even the men who founded the present government, as well as others
 who belong to 1t and derive benefits
 from it, speak i'll of 1t, "The worst of
 this" concludes Professor Villari, 'is that nobody imposed this government upon us. We ourselves selected it and constituted 1t, consequently the evil we speak of 1t ends by causing us to lose all confidence in ourselves, and this Is more dangerous than the unlimited faith we formerly entertained"
 Italy pays every year $160 900, 900 as interest on it's public debt and for pen- sions. It pays s32, 000 900 for redemptons and has left for the expenses of the gov ernment, including the army, navy, public works, prisons, etc, about S12S,- ,000. In order to raise the necessary revenue the government has been com- pelled to create new subjects of taxation and to increase the burden of those tax es already in force. Yet even with such a system the revenues are inadeuuate. Professor Villari asserts that the medi- cal clinics and laboratories, as well as the schools are in need of essential equipment; that there is not public library which can afford to keep abreast of the times: that the army and navy are not as efficient as they should be, and that the state archives are allowed to mold and decay in damp vaults for lack of funds to provide suitable stor- age.
 The poorer classes in Italy are said to pay half the taxes collected by the gov

NOT HIT BY 4 GOLF-B1LI.

It Is not surprising that MT. Bryan feels called upon to deny that he mar rowly escaped injury by being struck by golf-bal. Golf is the diversion of "the gold-bugs," "the leisure class" etc., etc. If it were generally believed that Mir. Bryan were in the habit of playing golf, or of being where a golf ball could hit him, that belief would lose him many votes We do not sup "the masses as warmly as Mir. Bryans does ever plays golf or even talks golf. He hasn't time and he can't afford to. He couldn't win the votes of golf-play CTS by being hit by a golf-ball, or by hitting a golf-ball, and his fellow citizens" wouldn't vote for him If they knew he was dawdling around the links. Then, too, there is the damaging suspicion that golf-players are not as particular about Sunday as they might be. If Mir. Bryan were hit by a base ball or a football there would be no bad effect upon his political fortunes, but he is quite right in hastening to refute the dangerous islander that he has been hit by a golf-ball We take pleasure in believing that such an un- fortunate accident is not likely to hap pen to him unless somebody throws a golf-ball at him with malice afore- thought. And we hope that if in the heat of the political strife Mir. McKin- ley is charged with being hit by a golf ball the charge will not stick to him any more than 1t is likely to stick to MT Bryan

WORLDS LARGEST CREAMERY

| What Generalization of Business Has l Done for Farmers in Bryan's State. | The people of Lincoln boast of hay ing the largest creamery in the world,
 not only in capacity for buttermaklng, but In the size of the plant and the
 floor space of tbe building. The Lin coin creamery started on small scale al Beatrice five years ago and removed
 to Lincoln three years later. The build ing, which stands alongside of the Bur ington railway station, is of brick and stone three stories, one hundred by one hundred and forty feet in size, and the plant iss capable of producing thirty
 thousand pounds of butter a day. All
 the cream used Is brought into Lincoln
 by railroad and comes from over one
 hundred skimming stations in Ne
 braska, Colorado and northern Kansas.
 Like everything else in the way of
 manufacturing, the butter business is
 being centralized. The farmers wife
 and daughter no longer work the churn, and even the milk is skinned by ma
 chinery Competition, the magnitude of the product and the economy of labor
 have made the consolidation of the dai-
 ry interest necessary, and instead of pouring the milk into pans and setting them out on shelves in a cool, dark dali ry, the farmer now hauls his milk to
 the nearest railway station, where it is skinned and the cream carried by the carload to central points to be turned into butter. The Beatrice creamery as they call it at Lincoln, is the largest of these consultations, the largest in the world. It is run by electricity and has every convenience for getting the last particle of butter out of every drop of cream.
 The skimming of sepatator stations, which are scattered at intervals of d few miles along the several railways that enter Lincoln, are neat buildings, equipped with machinery similar to that found in ordinary creameries, ex- cept thp churns and butter workers. Some fifty or sixty farmers usually or ganze a stock company, subscribe a small amount each to build q plant which costs from twelev hundred to two thousand dollars and enter into a contract with the Lincoln company to operate it for period of years and pay a rental in proportion to the amount of business done, the minimum being six l per cent. per annum on the cost of the | plant when the receipts average three | thousand quarts daily, eight per cent. l on five thousand quarts, ten per cent. | on eight thousand quarts and twelve | per cent. on ten thousand quarts or l

HOW SEWARD PAID FOR HIS
 CLOTHES


 When William Fl. Seward left home to go to Union college like many anoth- CT country boy, he felt ashamed of his rough homespun clothes, and the thought of them made him so uneasy that he soon ran into debt with the most fashionable tailor of the place. The senior year in college began, but the tailor had not been paid Dr. Sew ard would not settle what he regarded as an unnecessary account, and his son could pay the debt while remaining a student on slender allowance. The incident became so disagreeable that young Seward determined to make him. self financially independent.
 On the first day of 1919 he started se- cretly for Georgia, hoping to secure position as teacher of an academy. By the time he was within thirty or forty miles of the end of his journey his purse was almost empty, and he was com pelled to proceed afoot. His strength and resources were all but exhausted when he came upon a log cabin in the woods, which was fortunately occupied by family that had recently moved from Auburn, N. Y. The young stran- ger received hearty welcome, and was informed that the sought-for acad- emy was in settlement close by, and that his rural host was a trustee. On the following day the trustees met and examined the applicant who then with drew while his case was under discus sion. His position was a serious one. With only eighteen pence in my pock- ct, thousand miles from home. my little wardrobe left thirty miles behind,' said Seward, in later life "where was I to go? What could I do?"
 Fortune was with him. He was soon informed that his application had been accepted, and that his salary as head of the academy would be eight hundred dollars year. Seward gladly accepted. Proud of his appointment, he sent his father a newspaper containing an an nouncement of it. Dr. Seward flew into passion, wrote to the trustees, telling them that his son had abscond- ed from college without cause. bringing disgrace and sorrow upon his too indul- gent parents, and that alh who harbored him would be prosecuted to the full ex- tent of the law. This frightened no one, and it did not

ONE TRLS1, ILLEGAL.

It appears that trust can be convict | ed of breaking the law. One has been, and that too in Chicago. About twenty persons, constituting the Photo-Engrav- CTS Association of Chicago, have been found guilty of attempting a conspira- cy in restraint of trade. The indict- ment charged that the defendants had entered into an unlawful combination for the purpose of regulating and fixing tone prints, etc. Articles of agreement had been drawn and control of the whole industry had been placed in the hands of nine trustees. This was a veritable trust" It differs from the more recent form of organizing "a cor poration of corporations" No business had been actually transacted, but it was held that this was an immaterial cir cumstance. Judge Hutchinson held on the testimony of the defendants them selves, that they did carefully. system atically and consistently urge to con- pletion scheme to form a trust which evidence shows they knew to be ille- gal" They had engaged in "conspir- acy."
 When the photo- engravers of Chicago combine again they will be more crafty about 1t.

The municipal lodging house at Syra- cuse. New York, which has now been in operation a year, is declared to be highly successful. Lodgers have bath, bed and food, also the use of reading room. The next day they have work on the streets, half a days work at street cleaning. This pays for the lodg- ing and food and leaves the afternoon free to look for work or get out of town. The cost of the undertaking was about the same as the market value of the work done at street cleaning and snow -shoveling by the lodgers.

MT. o. B. Stevens Georgia's Commits sioner of Agriculture, is authority for the statement that chalk Is now being shipped from Georgia to manufactures If the North and East. He says there are large deposits of chalk in Twiggs county, about twenty miles from Macon, that were recently discovered and that are now being worked. The chalk is being taken out by the carload, and used principally In the manufacture of paper. It is blasted cut in large blocks as is stone from a quarry, the chalk being pure white and of the best quail ity.
