About Tax Matters.

Editor HERALD; Dear Sir-By
giving publicity to the following in
formation regarding delinquent
taxes, you will confer q favor upon
all of your readers who are tax paw
ers, as it is impossible for the aver
age man to keep informed upon the
constantly changing laws and the
various constructions placed upon
them, in regard to tax matters.
The particular point of law relat-
ing to taxes that | think should
claim the attention of all holders
of realty, at this Sine, is as fol-
lows:
All land whether city lots or
farm land, on which the taxes are
delinquent for the year 1896 or any
prior year may be decided to a
holder of tax certificate at at any
time after the first day of Decem-
Der, 1900 In other words, accord
ing to an opinion given out by the
attorney general, anyone may pay
the tax on any tract of land on
which the tax is delinquent for the
year 1896 or earlier year, and take
a certificate against it, even though
he should take the certificate out a
week before, or a week after, the
first day Of next December, and de-
mand tax deed Immediately upon
the process offoreclosure. 1t could
not be denied him.
1t is very clear to those who have
to do with the tax rolls of Whit
man county that those who have
exact knowledge Of the tax con-
dltons of their property are not in
the majority, as there are thous-
ands of dollars of taxes delinouent
on lands that have been regularly
paid on in subsequent years, show
ing that the owners are ignorant of
the delinquencies, and this is much
more apparent in the matter of
town lots, In view of these facts
1t is important that all property
owners should go carefully over
their tax receipts and make sure
that they have paid for each des-
crlption and for each year of their
ownership
desire also to call attention to
the fact that all who have not paid
the personal tax of 1899 should do
SO as soon as possible and before
the end of the present month, as it
Will be necessary after the 1st of
June to send out special tax collec-
tors, and under the new law af-
fectlng the collecting of personal
tax' mileage must be charged and
property distrained where payment
Is not made for the first call of the
collector, as it is held that the thirty
days notice formerly allowed, ex-
pired March Sth, or thirty DAYS af-
ter the date of the notice sent by
postal card. Respectfully,
W, J. WINDUs,
treasurer Of Whitman County.

A Free Hand Essential.

uDGE LOCHREN'S opinion that
the constitution automatically
extends itself over new terri
~ tory is coming in for a great
deal OF anxious discussion which seems
to us to be in the nature of a waste of
words. The judges opinion deter
mines nothing so far as national Iegis-
lation Is concerned. 1t is worth no
more than that of any other turist Of
high personal character and respect
able scholarship, many OF whom hold
precisely the opposite Interpretation.
1t is interesting mainly as tending to
reveal the lines of argument which the
Democratic opponents of expansion
will employ when they shall undertake
to convince the Supreme court that the
constitution in its entirety necessarily

has no other value.
A very little practical reflection
ought to satisfy those in perplexity

pines is absolutely essential IL that ad-
mlnistration is to succeed. 1t must be
evident from the most cursory glance
at the early history of the United
States that the federal constitution
was intended to fit a population which
had had a high order of experience in
liberal elf-government. which pos
sessed "A high percentage of popular
education, which was homogeneous in
character and which intended to es-
tablsh a union of states, equal and
sovereign, with just enough power
delegated from state to federal au-
thority to make the federation of
states a fact rather than fiction. In
this spirit was the constitution drawn;
and while the broadening influence of
judicial Interpretation has i'm the in
tervening years largely expanded 1t to
fit the continuous growth of our insti-
tutions, II is not practically possible
for any court to breathe into the let
ter of the constitution an elasticity suf-
ficient to spread it in it's entirety with
successful application over the mongrel
races of the Orient, just emerging
from centuries of disqualification for
self rule. As conditions vary in these
differing dependencies so must details
of administration vary to match them,
variation not to be hampered by any
hard and fast constitutional barriers.
1t will be enough that in approaching
these new problems of government our
administrators shall be guided as to
details by the just and elevated spirit
of our written constitution-the spirit
which maketh alive where the letter
itself might kill.
1t is unlikely that the Supreme court,
when it comes to pass on this great
issue, will take a view in conflict with
the palpable necessities of the situa-
ton. But should it affirm the interpre-
| tation laid down by Judge Lochren the
only practical effect would be the de-
velopment of an irresistible demand
for a constitutional amendment per-
hitting congress to legislate for the
Philippines to fit developed needs.

[The article referred TO appeared in the March
issue of Science and Industry under the heading
''Iron Smelling Source OF Power" Follow
ing is an extract:
"Recent developments in the construction and
use OF the gas engine are introducing new
factor in the problem of utilizing blast furnace
gases. As stated above, the combustible por-
tion of these gases is largely diluted with inert
gases. and, what is worse they carry great
quantities Of dust, which gives more or less
trouble in the cylinder of a gas engine EXten-
sive experiments have, however, been made in
Europe that indicate that, notwithstanding the
disadvantages of dust and a dilute gas blast
furnace gases can be successfully used in the
gas engine There are also indications that the
waste gas from ton OF fuel that has been used
for smelling iron in a blast furnace can, by
means of the gas engine, be made to develop
more power than is now obtained when the same
amount of fuel is burned under a boiler, and
nearly as much could be obtained ii the coke
were made directly into gas for gas-engine driv-
ing.
~ blast furnace is, in reality an immense gas
producer of the best type, and, il it is desired to
make gas for power purposes on a large scale,
it would be difficult to design a more satisfac.
tory device for the purpose than modern blast
furnace. These facts, taken in conjunction with
the recent success in the application of gas en-
giner to large power units, have led TO the very
interesting conclusion that one Of the most valu.
able products OF blast-furnace plants OF the
future will be power in some form suitable for
transmission and distribution, while the iron pro-
duced will be of secondary importance. Such a
plan would involve the placing OF the furnaces
in the vicinity OF large manufacturing centers
where there would be ready market for both
their products, Ii the demand for iron should
be less than the possible output of the furnaces

We understand that the new Buffalo plant OF
the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company is like

by Mr.. Turner in the foregoing quotation.

CONCERNING GAS ENGINES.
Editor OF The Tribune.

Sir: In connection with your editorial Gas
Versus Steam" in this mornings issue OF the
Tribune ] beg to call your attention to an artt'
Gle in Science and Industry, a copy of which
send herewith, in which some OF the possibilities
Of the gas engine when used in conjunction
with coke and iron making are outlined. As lar
as regards the development of the gas engine
in Europe and America, it is true that :hi'
motor has not yet been applied in this country
to the utilization of blast furnace gas, owing
largely to the fact that the most progressive
American furnace managers now make such good
use of this fuel for steam making that they de-
velop from it a surplus of power beyond the lie
mands of the furnace plant itself The success
with which the gas engine has been applied to
this work in Belgium is, however, attracting
the attention Of Americans, and they are now
investigating this new field with the hope That
at least a part of the possibilities mentioned in
the article above referred to may he developed.
There are now scores OF gas engine builders in
this country many of whom have made notable
improvements in its construction and several are
prepared to build engines as large as have been
built in Europe. | think it is true that the
engines built by the Westinghouse company at
their works in Pttsburg are among the most
powerful that have ever been built.
Yours truly,
c. T.. Turner.

The Endurance Of Children.

1t has been shown by the geo.
graphic records that the young child s
endurance is greater in proportion
to it's age than the endurance of the
older child. It has been found also
that the endurance of girls does not
increase in the same proportion with
the age as the endurance of boys,
from which it is suggested that, after
a certain age, boys and girls should
not be educated together, nor should
girls bear the same school burden as
boys after that age.
