If the preliminary assessment estimates by
local tax officials for personal taxes were only
diminished 20 per cent on hearing pleas for ex-
emption and reduction 1t would be thought Won
derful, but the enemies Of franchise taxation
choose to regard it evidence of utter demorali-
zation that the first franchise figures were re-
duced SO much after the franchise holders had
presented reasons, which the assessors previously
had no chance to know about, why their assess

A Surnrl,od Young Author.

Cbicngo writer and the rude awaken
ing came only few days ago, relates
the Chronicle. Forrest Crissey has
written several books and very much
newspaper stuff, but only one OF his
productions ever got away from him
and that was "The Young Newspaper
Scout" n story of the civil war, which
he wrote several years ago. The pub
fishing firm TO which he sold the
work, copyright and all, failed before
the book appeared and Crissey
thought that was the death knell Of
his story He took the advice OF sew
eral literary friends and forgot It,
A few days ago friend met him Oh
the street and congratulated MN
warmly on his new book.
"My boy says it's the best boys
story he ever read" said the friend
"What book Is that?" asked Crissey,
badly puzzled.
"Why, that Young Newspaper
Scout" was the reply
II took the dazzled author about u
minute TO get TO n book store and IN.

out promptly and there was his name

the book clerk, "they're going like hot

own book and then went over to have
an interview with the publisher Tie

When he was stronger they explain

Advancement in Geological Science.

The fundamental idea underlying
geological thought is the history Of
the earth. Now, until the beginning
of the present century the earth was
not supposed to have any history. II
was supposed to have been made at
once, out Of land, about six thousand
years ago, and TO have remained sub
stantially unchanged ever since al
the necessary theater of human his
tory. Changes were known to have
taken place and in less degree to be
still'taking place, but these were not
supposed to follow any law such as is
necessary to constitute history, and
thus to constitute science distinct
from geography. Button, about the
middle of the last century, did indeed
bring out dimly the idea Of an abyss
of time, preceding the advent of man,
in which the earth was Inhabited by
animals and. plants wholly different
from those of the present day, but he
was compelled by the priests of the
Sorbonne to retrnct these supposed
irreligious views. So tardily was the
fundamental idea Of geology clearly
conceived that Comte, the great orig
inator of scientific philosophy, in his
classification of the sciences in 1920,
denied place to geology because, ac'
cording TO him, II was not distinct
science at all, but only field for the
application Of all the sciences. 1t is
evident that he did not perceive the
