Tom l.. JOhnsOn's Taxes.
Cleveland Leader.


While he is going up and down the State
making a crusade for 'just taxation" Tom
l., Johnson has been careful to avoid ref
erence to the taxes the payment of which
he is alleged to have evaded for several
years in this city. Pressed into a corner
the other night by an inquisitive auditor
he declared that he had paid all the taxes
he owed, and that the taxes charged
against him on the books of the county
treasurer here were assessed for political
purposes.
The curiosity of the voters has been
aroused and they are making inquiries.
According to the county officials who
charged these back taxes against Mr..
Johnson, he is now indebted to the county
for taxes and penalties in the sum of about
$4,000. The additions to the return of Mr..
Johnson's personal property for taxation
were made in the years 1896, 1897, 1898 and
1899. Mr.. Johnson was then living in New
York. but he claimed a voting residence in
Cleveland. He was not -hen participating
in politics in Cleveland or in Ohio in any
way. The tax officials, therefore, could not
have had a political motive in making these
charges for back taxes against him.
Mr.. Johnson says that he does not owe
these back taxes, but he has never given
proof OF that. When the bill for the back
taxes was presented TO him he refused TO
pay it, and the county auditor asked him to
should not be collected He did not appear,
however. He took no steps to prove that
the taxes had been levied unjustly. Instead
of doing that, wnen an attempt was made
to collect the taxes he went into the United
States Circuit Court and asked for in
junction to prevent the collection. There
the matter rests. The mayor, so the county
officers say, has taken no steps to have the
case heard, nor has he given any indication
OF desire to have II terminated.

Through the efforts of delegates from the
local carpenters unions, assisted by the
Commercial Club, Indianapolis has secured
the headquarters of the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of America and
Canada The headquarters will soon be
moved from Philadelphia to this city 1t
will bring with 1t a force of twenty clerks
and business that represents a half mill
lion dollars year. The advantageous To-
cation of Indianapolis. being within twenty
four hours mail and travel from all the
principal industrial points, was the princi-
pal inducement. The decision was reached
at the convention now in session at At
lanta, Ga.
This will make the third national head
quarters for labor organizations in Indian
apolis. The United Mine Workers nor
mally handles about $4,000 week through
local banks, but now, on account OF the
anthracite and West Virginia strikes, sew
eral hundred thousand dollars passes
through the headquarters weekly. Besides
this, there is an immense amount of print
ing, the weekly publication putting $4,000
to $50 900 into Indianapolis annually. The
International Typographical Union has a
force of ten clerks and has normal re-
serve fund of $4,000 to $4,000. The annual
printing bills amount to about $4,000 The
new national organization of the saw
smiths is also conducting its affairs from
this place.

Besides the direct benefit of these labor
organization headquarters, they help Sc

United Mine Workers have almost made
Indianapolis their annual meeting place.
and the conferences with the operators
also have about become permanent fix

wife have arrived here on their way to

his trip TO the United States. which he will
now visit for the first time. In an inter-
view Mascagni pointed out that the admin

Pesaro. of which he is director. voted his
dismissal because OF his accepting the
American engagement, which involved such
prolonged absence from Italy on the
ground that he was sacrificing art to dol

was so strong that the minister of fine arts
intervened and revoked the decision

II has been reported to State Superin-

to contract to teach month or
two months without pay before they

provides that a teacher shall not
be paid less a day than the result OBJ

to making teachers contribute their serv-

Hays "UnweIcome" Note.

One is more likely to find in the Cologne
Gazette what the German government is
thinking about Secretary Hays note, than
in anything that the Vienna correspondent
of the London Telegraph can learn upon
this point The London Telegraph's report
is that several of the signers of the Berlin
convention, including Germany, would like
TO send to the United States an identical
note stating in substance and politely
that the convention will be attended to by
the states responsible for it, and without
assistance The Koeln Zeitung speaks OF
the "unwelcome" message from Washing
ton: but il also acknowledges that Rou-
mania's conduct in regard TO the Jews is
not what IL should be. This shows that
Mr. Hays note was necessary. No one
for no other reason, because IL publicly re-
minded the European states concerned of
a responsibility that hitherto they have

What One Trust Does for Labor.
Minneapolis Tribune.

An employment agent was recently sent
over from Birmingham. England, to secure

paper recalls the fact that two years ago
a number of McKeesport workmen ac-
cepted an offer 10 go TO England, but now
conditions in the iron and steel trade in
this country so much better that they
do not care to go, although the scale OF
wages in the English mills is about the
same, and the cost of living is said to be
less. But the conditions of employment

are all in favor of the American industries
