In seeking a remedy for the
present expensive system OF city and

recommended that the three park boards
be merged into one metropolitan park
system and that the seven townships
be consolidated into one. Bills are
being prepared for Introduction at the
next legislature to carry into effect

the remaining portion OF the country
to be organized into two counties. 4

advocate that the powers adopt de-
mand which the Chinese government

Pressure is being applied by this gov

tain Fountain and Captain Foster re-
turned to Fort Reno after an absence
Of ten days testing the emergency ra-
tIon which was compounded at Pas

Enlisted men Of the detachment say
that the ration just tested is not as
good az that tested by the first detach-
ment. There is too much celer om-
pound in 1t and II Is seasoned too
highly to be palatable any length OF
time. The tea ration serves well for
few meals but does not suit as well
as the chocolate ration.
A ration prepared In Chicago Will
be tested during the next ten days. The
test will be made in December The
board will devote a week to testing
again the ration of the three which
proves most satisfactory. Atroop Of cav
airy consisting Of fifty men from Fort

The important decision has been ar

TAXEs TO BE REPEALED.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2s.-A Washing
ton special to the Herald says:
All proprietary stamp taxes and many
Of the documentary stamp taxes will
be repealed by the bill which the Ee-
publican members Of the house com
mittee on ways and means are en-
gagged in framing. 1t has been learned
that it is not the present intention to
make any reductions in the taxes on
spirits. fermented liquors or tobacco.
The entire reduction will amount to
about thirty million dollars.
Taxes that It has been fully deter
mined to repeal are those In schedule
B Of the war revenue act. embracing
the proprietary taxes. amounting to
about $5,eOO.OO taxes on kilograms and
express receipts. amounting to about
s2.Oeo 600; legacy taxes on bequests TO
religious. educational and charitable In
stitutions. roughly estimated at 100000.
ana taxes on mortgages. promissory
notes. checks and drafts. insurance
policies and premiums, warehouse re-
ceipts. certificates Of various kinds.
deeds and practically all Of the other
documentary stamp taxes except those
on stock exchange transactions
The cut in the documentary tax
schedule will foot up about s5.5OO,OOO
more. leaving about s4.5OO,OOO to be cut
off to bring the total up to s33,OOOOO0
II is probable that this will be accom-
plished BY the repeal Of special taxes
In order by the war revenue acts on
banks. bankers. brokers. billiard tables.
bowling alleys, theatres, circuses and
other places Of amusement
Persistent efforts are still being made
to have the beer and tobacco taxes re-
duced, but they have not met with sue
cess and 1t is not likely that any change
will be made in these schedules Ef-
forts are also being made to have
further changes made in the legacy
taxes. because legacies are under the
laws Of some 6f the states. The special
excise taxes on refners Of petroleum
and sugar will probably be retained.
The reductions are much heavier than
leading members Of the ways and
means coirmittee contemplated before
Secretary Gage stated that the cOndi-
ton Of the treasury was such as to
warrant a material reduction.
Receipts from the war revenue act
for the first four months Of the present

that this measure may increase the unit
