The problem of taxation Is now the
big bone of contention in Cuba. One
faction wants to put a revenue tax on
sugar and tobacco. and the other fac
tion opposes the proposition on the
ground that tobacco and sugar are the
foundations of the islands prosperity;
that upon planters have fallen the
heavy burdens Of the insurrection
period and of the period following; and
that 1t would be most unwise to put
any hindrances In the way Of the
islands agricultural development. The
argument of the "antis' seems to be
well considered.

where is Smith? asked a Michigan

The latter is scarcely literally true, but
the congressman from the Second Michi-
gan district does not waste much time
listening to pcrfunctory debate. He Is
too busy.
Mr.. Smith has made an impression on
the walters Of the house cafe by his Wit,
and they spot" him whenever he enters
the popular eating place. His easy rela-
tions with the dusky walters came about
thus:
The congressman was at luncheon dur
ing the busy hour and sat waiting for his
dessert, the tardiness Of which was duo
more to the arduous duties Of the walter
than to inactivity or lasiness. Smith rel
ished his pie In anticipation until it,began
to get stale. and then called another
waiter and In all seriousness said:
my man, will you 60 and see II the
waiter who took my order works here
YETI"
The waiter looked at him seriously for
moment and retreated to the kitchen
with q broad grin. Smiths original
waiter appeared at once, not much
changed by age, and with him appeared
at the door a group Of his fellow-men,
all grinning and eyeing the man from
Michigan who could stir UP q walter
