TO DISCUSS
TAXATION.
An Important Conference
to be HeIe in Buffalo
in May.

The National Civic Federation, an
organization that has held conferences
on "Our Foreign Policy" "The
Trust Question" and has recently Or
ganized IA national joint committee on
Cancellation and arbitration, has call.
ed a national conference on taxation
at Buffalo, for the 23rd and Gath of
May. Governors have appointed del
egates, and the various state tax COM
misSlOners and the members of legiS-
latiye committees that deal with tax
alton have been especially invited to
participate. The call contains the
following statement Of the reason ana
necessity for such conference.
For some years the diss abstraction
with our methods Of taxation, both
state and local, has been growing
apace. We have been so long accus.
toned to a system which was suited
to the early conditions of our Ameri-
can life, that we are only slowly
awakening to its shortcomings in the
light of modern business activity. In
dustry has overstepped the bounda-
rics of any one state and commercial
interests are no longer confined to
merely local limits. Corporate activ.
ity has largely changed the character
of personal property and individual
Investments.

BURNED TO DEATH.
A Farmer, Dave Taylor, cremated In
the Jail at Chelsea.

Dave Taylor, aged about 3S
years, met terrible death at
Chelsea Tuesday night. He was
placed in the oalaboose for being
drunk and disorderly, and some
time after midnight the building
was burned aud he perished in
the flames. Part of the victims
skull was all that was recovered
from the debris.
The origin Of the fire is not
known, though the supposition is
that Taylor started the blaze him
self, either accidentally or on pur.
pose to create excitement and So
cure his release from Jail.
Taylor lived on a farm three
miles southwest Of Chelsea and
