Among meats beef leads of as the

seen on the average table. Hotels and
restaurants have them always on hand.

Some interesting data are being col

the legislature in connection with the
poll-tax problem. It is learned, in ad-
vance OF the presentation of the re-
port, that while these taxes are gen.
orally collected in the small towns.
their payment is evaded in the cities.
In Boston so long ago as 1896 only Al
percent of the poll-taxes were collect
ed, and since then the ratio has been
growing decidedly smaller. AS mem.
bers of the legislature are no more
conscientious in this matter than are
their constituents. 1t may puzzle them
what to do with the report when they
get 1t. II those among the lawmak ers
who had paid the poll-tax should be
asked to rise. "it would be found"
the Boston Advertiser says. that out
of the 80 Boston members in the
house only Is had settled for their
poll-taxes, and out OF the eight Boston
members in the senate. only two had
paid. When about rs percent of the
Boston members OF the legislature
have not paid their poll-taxes. is it any
wonder that their constituents feel
even less obligation to do so?" In
this connection novel suggestion is
made by the Boston collector. He
advises that hereafter. II the poll-tax
