as a result of careful deliberation on the
part of the legislators. Mr.. Goodrich
said he knew that the street railway COM
pany was willing to pay it's fair share Of
taxes and he believed that other public
service corporations felt the same way.
The, only point is the corporations wish
to be treated fairly. In other words, they
do not wish to be singled out for special
taxation. as they believe the Jacobson
bill would do. r. ;
Mr.. Goodrich believes that il everybody
paid his fair proportion of taxes on a
full valuation the rate would ~ be
lowered to an extent that would not i'm
pose tax burdens on any individual or in
terest. {
"The Jacobson bill" said Mr.. Good
rich, appears to single out certain in
terests for the imposition Of taxation
burdens, which is extremely unfair when
the manifest liability of other interests
to proportionate. taxation is considered.

the senate when we will be prepared to

j life today is very much greater than

activities were confined almost entirely to

the past twenty years women have gained
great success in business and have become
famous in the practice of law and medicine

every large Office has women clerks and

Anoticeably successful life is thatof Mrs.

WANT TO Be HEARD
Public Service Corporations and the
Jacobson Tax Bill.
THEY WANT TO PAY A JUST TAX
They Believe in This Case That They
.-.....- Can Show the Tax
.t~ a, Unfair.

When the Jacobson tax bill comes up i'll
the senate, it will probably be the sub
tEel Of exhaustive hearings and careful
consideration. There will be small objec
ton, if any, to the tax commission fea-
ture. The tonnage ore tax will be holly
opposed with the opposition confined to
few and their success in doubt. AS to
the public service corporations, there is
no such sharp line of cleavage between
those who favor the taxation scheme pro-
posed by Jacobson and those who oppose
it. The proposition is more in the line
of one on which there will be much to say
on both sides and a decision on which
must be reached through considerations of
fairness and justice. Those who contend
that: Che Jacobson act is dangerously near
to class legislation point to the fact that
there are only about eight public ccr-
porations in the state that will be sub
jected to the franchise tax. The manner
of fixing the value Of the franchise is also
objected to, inasmuch as it means that
they must Fay taxes on a 100 per cent
valuation, rate not applied to any other
property in the state. In other words,
the subtraction of real estates and per-
sonaI property from the bonds and stock
total does not affect the tax, as all are
assessed separately. 1t is notable in this
connection that the public service. repre-
sentatives seen to-day favor the gross
earnings tax. They are also unanimous in
declaring that they are willing and ready
to pay just tax. ..~ =,

..We could not dodge taxes, even if we
wanted to- said Mr.. Rand. Our plant is
where it can not be concealed and our dis
position is to pay our share OF the taxes.
Our last assessment was about*4 per cent
of our gross earnings. Under the Jacob
son billi would be possible to; assess us
at 100 per cent of our net: income, that$is,
if the law were held to be valid. This Is
practical confiscation. What we want is
a law that will be definite and not subject
in its administration to the personal
judgment Of any one; man.: A gross earn
ings tax would meet this requirement.
Until such tax shall be possible; / be-
lieve that those who make the i laws
should weigh all tax measures carefully
and we are willing to make full state
mention which they may base their de-
auctions. We shall certainly take adyan-
tage Of any opportunity to appear before
the senate committee and show how we
are situated. 1t would be most unfortu-
nate to impose upon us IT this time such
burden as the Jacobson bill would legal
ize. There Is pressing demand for the
extension of our mains in many direc-
lions, for the city is growing. Extensions
are costly and if SO much Of our money
goes for taxes we should have to curtail
our expenditures wherever possible.
What Auditor Dunn Says
State Auditor Dunn says the fears Of the
public service corporations have been IN
necessarily aroused over the Jacobson
bill. The bill does not provide forIthe
/ taxation of franchises at theirsfull value
1 This is in conformity, to the constitution
and the other tax laws of the state The
practice is, however, to take a certain
per cent of values. The state board o.
| equalization makes rules for such assess
lments, and under them bank stock, form
stance, is only assessed at SO per cent
In the same way, when the value of; {
as the basis, and assessed at SO per cent
In some cases, however, even this so; PEI
1 cent valuation would treble the presen
! tax, or impose a u per cent tax on
corporations gross earnings.

crowded with the tired dancers. At
the next corner the car stopped and a
blond young man got on, who, as
he entered the car, at once attracted
the gaze even of the sleepy dancers.
He advanced to the center and held on
to a strap with one hand In the
other he carried an enormous hat, un-
mistakably feminine, as attested by
yards of blue chiffon and waving os-
trich plumes.
He was serenely unconscious OF mis-
burden until the conductor asking for
his fare, he reached for his pocket
with his hand that he thought was
disengaged. He then discovered the
hat His look of bewilderment brought
forth audible smiles from his fellow
passengers. Then he remembered

gers, with the aid of ropes suspended
from the broad brim of William Penn's

looking, at that dizzy elevation. no
larger than flies.
Many people, walking along Chest
nut street, stopped at the Juniper
street corner and gazed upward at the
intrepid workmen, nearly 500 feet
above the pavement. A fussy old wom-
an, who was near-sighted, elbowed her
way through the crowd.

New York Spectator Asked IL He Was
In Army Wagon.
Amusing incidents occurred in the
c~0wds that were waiting at various
times to see Prince Henry. In front
of the Metropolitan Opera House the
night of the gala performance for
hours the driving rain had soaked the
thousands that filled Broadway.
Mounted police galloped up and down
and trolley cars charged into the
swaying lines of the people. The hours
dragged along and the time set for
Prince Henry's arrival passed. and
still there was no sign.
Suddenly there was scurry of hoofs
and a rumble of wheels. and a squad
of the troop accompanying a forage
wagon galloped up.
There he is! There he Isl" shouted
the excited crowd. Then one solemn
old Yankee, who had been silently
waiting for hours, peered out from un-
der his umb ella, and, catching sight
of the army wagon anxiously inquired
of the driver:
"Say, Mr. Soldier. have you got
Henry in there?"
