SUCCESSFUL TEST
OF . New Cooling Machine.

Washington, June 5.-Professor Will
lis L. Moore's machine, which he says
will cool any room on the hottest day,
has been tested in the weather bureau.
1t is constructed on the style of CYL
inder stove. 1t operates on the prin-
ciple of gravity, works automatically,
requires no motive power, and is self
adjusting The ingredients with which
the machine is charged constitute the
secret of the invention, but Professor
Moore says the formula does not con-
tain ammonia or any of the usual
chemicals used in producing freezing
mixtures.
He is keeping his secret until he
gets his patents in Europe. The cost
is about the same as would be the price
of coal to heat the same space In ex-
tremely cold weather.

Woodward tried to hide the paper
when the police arrived on the scene
but it was rescued and handed to the

EVERETT.MOORE
Likely to Retain the N. o. T.

According to advices received in this
city from Cleveland, the prospects OF
the Fverett-Moore syndicate retaining
the Northern Ohio Traction company
are bright. The syndicate is now al
most out of the tangle in which its af-
fairs have been since last winter, and
the chances are it will no: nave to sell
the Akron property. From the very
first Mr. Everett has desired to keep
the property, believing that it possess
es great chances for future develop
ment, and the unusually large earnings
of the company has strengthened this
desire. The fact that the syndicate has
sold such large quantities of valuable
securities within the last three or four
weeks makes the retention of the
Northern Ohio Traction company not
only possible but probable.

Washington, Pa. June 4.-Colonel
James E. Barnett, of the Tenth regi-
ment, has issued orders to the COM
panies in his command which are
unique in the history of the guard.
Each company commander, during
this month, is to take his company for
a days march in the country for prac-
tice in active field work and report to
headquarters.
The claim has been made that the
guardsmen are not proficient in mill
tary duties outside the armories, and
it is to give the Tenth men some cut
door work that Colonel Barnett issued
this order.

SOMETHING NEW AT ST. LOUIS

A model city, q model farm and model
ture IS. promised for the Louisiana Purchase
exposition at St. Louis. These ideas were
conceived by the American League for
Civic Improvement, or are, at least, being
actively supported by it. The model city
idea has practically been accepted by the
exposition commissioners, and If such a
little city is created it will be impossible
to ignore the suggestion OF, E. G. Rout-
zahn, Of Dayton, OHIO, that model farm
be also shown and that the two be con-
nected by an ideal roadway.
These plans will make the st. Louis ex-
position different, SO far. as they go, from
any preceding expositions. If more such
ideas are favorably acted on by the com
missioners, we shall have something new
in the worlds fair line at ST. Louis. It
will be pleasure as well as benefit to
visit model city, to see in the actual
walls and ,pavements, Offices and resi-
dences, an embodiment Of the most ad-
vanced ideas about city building and adj
ministration. TO give us the model city
and not the model farm, would be to give
us picture cut in two. It is proposed to
give something more than model farm

AN INTERESTING Project

Exporters and Importers will watch
with interest the new experiment in all
water transportation from great lakes
ports to ocean ports. A new corporation,
at the head of which is A. B. Wolvin, the
manager ofpthe United States Steel cor
poratfon's lake fleet, has been formed
for the purpose Of building fleet OF
steamships to operate between lake ports
and Quebec. At the latter port these ships
will transfer their cargoes directly to
ocean going vessels. 1t is said that
this arrangement, lake rates prevailing to
Quebec and trans-A tlantic rates from Que
bee to Europe, will give through rate,
to and from Europe, that will be SO per
cent less than the rates offered by the
abandoned Counselman line Of through
steamers from lake to European ports.
1t is to be inferred that Quebec is ,chos-
en- as the transfer point because better
wharf facilities are offered there than at
Montreal. The new arrangement will add
greatly to Quebec's commercial Importance
and will tend to build it up at the ex-
pense of Buffalo and Montreal- The ex-
pertinent semes so promising that 1t is
strange that it was not undertaken years
ago. The Welland canal has never been
utilized to anywhere near its full ca

THOSE AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTR.
81 TUITION ~, +

The figures presented in r ne j oil r.
nal yesterday with regard to the vote
on constitutional amendments during the
past ten years seem to demonstrate that
the proposition to lay aside the tax bill,
simply submitting the amendments at the
next election, is an exceedingly Well de-
Vised plan to head off all tax reform and
leave the matter just as it stands. Only
one amendment has been submitted since
the constitution was amended so as to re-
quire majority Of all votes cast, and that
one was defeated During the six years
previous to that ten or a~doZen amend-
ments were submitted, nearly all of which
were adopted, but only one of which was
adopted by a vote which would have been
effective If at that time the present re-
quirements Of the constitution had been
applied. In that one case the c1rcum-
stances were peculiar, the question at is
sue being the taxation of unused railroad
lands. .ns.a. b.: @sss
The urnal is not Indifferent to
the complaints Of some very important
interests that the bill in its present form
is calculated to seriously embarrass them,
but it has no confidence whatever in any
plan to secure constitutional amendments
which does not include means Of COM
pelling VERY special and unusual inter-
est in those amendments: Such pressure
may be brought to bear, and such interest
may be excited by the passage Of the pro-
posed tax law, the date Of its effectuat1on
to be deferred until 1908, but we have
heard no other method of bringing to bear
the necessary pressure, no other plan
which promises any progress, except the
adoption of the bill as it stands to go into
effect this year. This as we have already
said, we are willing to admit is calculated
to impose disadvantages upon some Of the
most important industries in this city
the constitution is amended, but which,
under any constitutional scheme Of taxa
ton, fair and equitable as to other inter-
ests and industries, cannot now be
avoided. ,<. ~-
Hence the propriety Of the compromise
which The Journa has suggested
opening the way for the adoption of con-
stitutional amendments, the constructor
of new code in accordance with them
and the repeal of the proposed law before
It goes into effect. -, " -

defeated by establishing common ownership
and control over the two? If a state can sue

control of lines wholly within it's borders.

REAL ESTATE AND THE TAX LAW

1t is time, in this discussion of the tax
law, that something was said for real
estate owners. 1t is they who bear the
great burden Of taxation under the pres
ent law Is it right because man
chances to have his wealth in real estate
instead of diamonds and bank accounts
that he should bear more than his fair
share of the burden of general taxation,
in addition to all the special assessments
he is subject to as a real estate owner?
The great general change made from
present conditions by law that would
be enforced would be. the shifting Of a
part Of the burden Of taxation from the
bent shoulders of the lot owner to those
o the man who, though worth twice as
much as the lot owner, has often escaped
taxation altogether. Last year the real
estate of Minneapolis was assessed at
$79,OO0,0O8 and the personal property at
only $1,000, 600. Much real estate was
actually assessed at it's full value, yet
had to meet tax rate base on an aver
That is the kind of equality an indefinite
continuation Of the present law will give
us. The real estate valuation of Mime
sofa in 1899 was s492, 100000; that of per-
sonal property $93,0O0,0 900. A just assess
ment while greatly increasing the real
estate valuation would increase the per-
sonal property valuation still more, in pre-
portion to the present figures. The re-
suit will be that throughout the state the
amount of taxes actually paid on real
estate will be less than heretofore and
that on personal property more.
In considering the tax law it is we'll to
keep in mind a remark of the tax COM
mission in it's report, that the taxes of the
individual will be increased or decreased
according as his assessments have here
tofore been too low Or too high. If yours
have been too low think of the man whose
taxes have been too high all these years
before you decide, on the basis of how you
are personally affected. whether the law
is good or bad.
