MFlRl UPUN TAXATION
The Industrial Com mission Makes ' Report Upon the Taxation
 of Corporations.
FEATURES IN THE VARIOUS STATES
While In Some Cases They are The oreticaliy satisfactory. They Do Not Meet the Varied Business De- velopments or Corporntion~-iE- come Tax the Most Equitable.

Wash ngton. March 2s.-The indus trial commission has made public a report upon the taxation of corpora tions prepared by it's expert agent. MT. George Clapperton. The report makes volume of ITS pages. The greater part of it ;S devoted 10 a summary of the tax system of the states of Massachusetts. Connecticut. New York. New Jersey. Pennsylvania Ohio, Indiana. Michigan. Illinois. Wis., consin, Iowa and Texas. Mr. Clapper ton says that he found the general property tax system prevailing in all the states. but that there are distine- tive features in the various states, which are especially marked in the taxation of corporate property. He does not indcrse the system of levy ing fixed rate upon net earnings. which Is in vogue in Delaware and Virginia. finding that while the sys- tenn is theoretically satisfactory. il docs not meet the varied business developments O f corporations" He also finds the general property tax unsatisfactory. On this point he says:
 Wealth that Can Not be Reached
 "1t is clear that under this system there are numerous forms of wealth that do not and can not be made to bear just share of the public bur dens and which, in large part. evade or escape taxation. and some forms which. when reached at all under the prevailing general property tax, are nof equally and uniformly. hut m justly and disproportionately taxed. as compared with other property. The ineylta ble result k that real estate and some eorins of personality are unduly burdened with taxation
 Income Tax Most Equitable.
 Upon the whole. Mir. 1apperton concludes that an income tax is the ncst equitable. saying
 There IS growing class of eiti- zens who receive large incomes or salaries. and enjoy all the advantages of society and good government, who. though possessed Of abandant ability 10 pay taxes. are. under existing svs- t.ms, practically exempt from taxa. tion or inadlcquately taxed. This class IS receiving. aud must continue to re- ceive, especial attention in the revi zion or reformation of taxing sys- fems in the several states. While a tax npon individual incomes is grne~ally conceded tc be just and equita ble in principle, it has been received with disfavor and regarded as impractical in it's operation Ii is apparent. how .E. F..l

 \ Period of Loot and Anarchy.
 From what l can learn they will assess erybody with any money and have division of the spells. They will drive all Spaniards and American sympathizers from the island. and for brief period will reyel in loot. Law and order will become a mockery and no law save that of anarchy will reign.
 Only FooIisbness.
 Tt will he only foolishness to talk of cubans governing themselves at this time or for years to come.

half-grown demented Cuban boy,
named Antonio Pine, of Key West,
was caught setting fire to the Inter
national Cigarmakers Union Hall
Thursday evening. about 6 o'clock. A
meeting was to be held in the building
at 7:S0 p m, and the secretary was
arranging the hall when the deed was
committed. He had first saturated the
side of the house with kerosene and
applied the match. but was discovered
before the fire had gone very far. The
boy was soon caught. A large crowd
gathered, and some of the by-standers
attempted to do the boy harm. BY an
agreement with the family of the boy,
he will be sent to Cuba. There have
been quite a number of incendiary
fires at Key West recently, two Of
which did much damage, and these are
now laid at his hands. The burning of
the Catholic Church is now conceded
by a great many as his doings. He
seemed a harmless fellow, and had ac-
cess to the church at all times, and
would go there several times in a day
and was seen coming out of the church
half an hour before the fire. .
