JERSEYS REVENUES REDUCED
State Will Lose s12,5oo Annually BY
PASSAGE of Steel Trust Bill.

r+@@I%5E " 0N@St . ASA 8Aila
Trenton, N. J., March S1.-The dis
covery has been made that the state
of New Jersey will lose an annual
revenue of $12,5OO by reason of the
passage by the legislature of the law
permitting the United States Steel
Corporation to convert its preferred
stock into bonds. Corporations char
tered under the laws of New Jersey
pay an annual tax on their issued
capital stock This tax is graded, and
amounts to $50 per million on the
$3.50 100000 Of preferred stock which
the Steel Corporation purposes con
verting into bonds The corporation
will not be obliged to pay any tax on
the bond issue, and the state, there
fore, will lose this money. This point
was probably overlooked at the time
the bill was before the legislature, as
no suggestion of the states revenue
being involved was made by any Of
the members who opposed the
measure

Our homestead was called Ivy Green
because the house and the surrounding
trees and fences were covered with
beautiful English ivy. Close by were
trailing clematis. dropping jessamine
and some rare sweet flowers called but
terfy lilies because their fragile petals
resembled the butterdy's wings. But
the roses-they were loveliest of all.
Never have found in the greenhouses
of the north such heart satisfying roses
as the climbing roses of my southern
home. They used to hang in long fes-
toons from our porch, filling the whole
air with their fragrance untainted by
any earthly smell, and in the early
morning, washed in the dew, they felt
so soft and seemed so pure could moi

ssThat's the man who wrote The

him how much that poem has helped
