The attention of tax reformers
throughout the country is just now
centered upon the state of Colorado.
A very important document has
recently been published containing
the report of the commission ap-
pointed by the senate in March,
1899, to investigate the defects in
existing tax laws and to recon-
mend '.just, wise and complete
remedy" They were also specially
instructed to study the tax laws OF
New Zealand and Australia, which
was accomplished by Mr.. James
w. Bucklin, one of tie commits
sioners, at his own expense.
The first edition of 1000 copies
of this report is exhausted, and the
demand from all over the civilized
world has been so great that anoth-
er edition of 20, 900 copies has been
printed, a copy of which can be
obtained upon application TO Mr..
Bucklin, Denver. who, in connec-
ton with two other state senators,
comprised the commission.
The report contains much valu-
able information, it is said, and leg
islators and tax assessors in partic-
ular should not fail to procure a
copy and study it carefully.
The commissioners lay bare the
unjust and inequitable tax meth
ods that prevail throughout the
country, and relate how similar
methods formerly in operation in
the antipodes have been discarded
by the people and a 'land value"
tax adopted instead.
Under this system the withhold
ing of large tracts of valuable land
from use for speculative purposes
has been stopped, and those coun-
tries are constantly increasing in
prosperity. 1t would seem from
this that Colorado is likely to be
the first state in the Union to lead
the procession for genuine tax re-
form.

Another Hotel For Palm Beach.

Mr.. Flagler will build a magnificent
new hotel on the ocean beach near The
Breakers at Palm Beach. This has not
been officially announced, but authority
comes from good source and it is safe TO
say that during next summer one of the
finest hotels in the country will be bu. Ii
at Palm Beach by Mr. Flagler 1t will
be freproof and will compare favorably
in size and importance with the two big
hotels already there, while the fittings
and furnishings will be of the latest and
most modern onder. 1t will be on the
European plan exclusively and will be
the only absolutely fireproof hotel in the
south.
Last week Mr.. Flagler purchased the
DellmOre cottage property at Palm Beach
from Mrs. X. B. Moore, the consideration
being about $4,000. This property,
which is situated on the lake front, ad-
joining the Hotel Royal Poinciana
grounds on the north, has frontage on
the lake OF 200 feet, running back as far
as the county road, and is without doubt
one of the most desirable pieces of prop
erty on the east side. Just what disposi-
ton Mr.. Flagler will make of this prop
erty is not yet to be made public, but it
may be safely assumed that it will be
made to contribute its full quota to the
development and progress of Palm
Beach.

BRITISH contentment with the
latest dispatches from South Africa
is more than a little hard for some
of us Americans TO understand.
Gen. DeWet seems To have been
turned from his purpose, if his pur-
pose was the occupation as well "a
the invasion of territory belonging
to Cape Colony, but he has not
been forced into a regular battle
involving the definite defeat of one
or the other army engaged. He
has, been repulsed rather than beat
en-, and whether the present scat
tering of his forces is the result of
his own inclinations, or is due to
the compulsion of Gen. Kitchen
er's subOrdinates is a question not
to be decided from the information
now at hand. Certainly the Boer
commander has not met the fate of
Gen. Cronje. He has not been cap
tured, and he is in no instant dam
ger of exile to st. Helena or Cey-
lon. If successful self defense were
the object of the British operations
the situation might well be pleas
ing one to the followers of the red
flag, but for them failure TO con-
quer is almost as humiliating as to
be conquered.

Fully nine-tenths of the Amer
lean people will disagree with the
position taken by Rear-Admiral
Sampson in regard to warrant Off
GERS. The facts as published are
these: Charles Morgan, a gunner
of the navy at the torpedo station
at Newport, r. l., wrote to the rear
admiral, asking to be recommend
ed for the position of ensign in the
navy. 1t seems that law recent
ly passed permits the secretary OF
the navy to appoint certain num-
Der of warrant officers To be ensigns.
Admiral Sampson wrote to the
secretary of the navy, saying that
Mr.. Morgan was a very worthy
man and competent warrant officer
but hoped that the secretary would
not appoint any warrant officer to
be an ensign for the reason that an
ensign is a commissioned officer,
and, as a rule, warrant officers are
lacking in social accomplishments.
They are taken from a class of men
who have not had the social advan-
tages that are requisite for a COM
missioned officer.
The admira's view that because
the warrant officers come, as a rule,
from the working classes they can
not therefore be gentlemen, will be
resented by every true American.
AS a matter of fact many of the
naval officers had no more dis
tinguished origin than Gunner
Morgan had. Perhaps if records
were compared it would be found
that the warrant officers are as we'll
born as the officers who have COM
missions. Many of those who
have graduated from the naval
academy at Annapolis had very
humble origin. The fathers OF
some of the most distinguished
naval officers earned their living
in very humble occupations. 1t is
said that the father of Admiral
Sampson was a gardener, and that
before entering the academy he
himself worked as a common la
borer. If the rule which the ad-
miral wishes applied to Gunner
Morgan had been applied to him
when he sought an appointment to
the naval academy it is probable
that he would not be in the navy.

ONE of our contemporaries asks
this question Has Representative
Talbert, of South Carolina, fallen a
victim to the Establishments of the
willy Republicans in the house? 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Tai
bert made himself reputation by
Objecting to private pension legis-
lation. The other day he made a
speech on pensions in which he
took occasion to whoop up the
merits of the private soldier as con-
trasted with the merits of the Off
Ger. In recognition of his eloquence
Speaker Henderson called the South
Carolinian to the chair to preside
over the mmittee of the whole on
last pension day. The honor so
pleased Mr.. Talbert, it is said, that
he railroaded private pension bills
through faster than the average Re-
publican had been in the habit of
doing.

Suddenly she turned out and, stand

back to the roadway, began to put on
her gloves. The trail of her skirt hung
over the curb just clear of the pave
