be turned on all their actions all their
statements and all their accounts, and pro-
vide either by a franchise or license tax
that they shall pay their fair share of the
burdens Of the people. Our case is some
what different from that of England or
other countries, and therefore precedenta
do not always apply. In England, for in

great danger to our institutions is that
these great aggregations of wealth may en-
6eavor TO control legislation and 90 things
that smaller bodies would not attempt.
These are pregnant words. They
touch the marrow Of the question
treated. Here is another passage
which is full of wise suggestion. Again
we quote:
After all. this danger must be met, as
all dangers i'm the republic must be, and
must be overcome by the virtue of the
people. We must. so far as possible, pro-
tect our small land holders. In their hands
is the future OF the republic If you will
read the history Of the empires and re-
that their failure dates from the time
when the lands drifted into large holdings
and were cultivated by tenants or slaves
So far, therefore. as it can be done by leg
islation our small property holders should
be encouraged. and they should be pro-
tected: their burden should be mace as
light as possible and capital should be
made TO pay its fair share of the burdens
Of the state. Large ownership of land
should be discouraged and prevented.
"Onr system Of taxation is the cru6est
on the civilized earth. with possibly the
exception of Turkey and some of the ORR
entail countries. The laws of every state
arc different, and by means of this. 1lrge
aSgregations of capital avoid paying their
share OF The cost of government. We are
Just learning that a franchise tax is the
easiest collected of any and probably one
Of he fairest ways of raising revenue. OF
course. those who manage corporations
will object as everybody does, to pay
Ing taxes. bur, nevertheless, it is right and
proper. Those that have the protection Of
the state should bear their share of the
burdens"

The Volcano RIrd.

One curious result of the SOufriere's
eruptions has been the loss on the is
land of St. Vincent of the beautiful
bird known as Buildings Amazon par
rot This bird was formerly founC
only on the slopes of the Soufriere
and was called the volcano bird" by
the inhabitants of the island. 1t was
driven away by the eruptions of 171S
and sought shelter in other parts of
the Antilles. The great hurricane of
1898 still further reduced its num-
bers, hardly leaving a single bird in
ST. Vincent, and now it is feared that
whatever survivors there may have
been were destroyed by the recent
eruptions or have lied from the scene.
Not a bird can be found anywhere
within the range of the volcanoes ac-
tivity. Unlike man, birds and beasts did
not risk returning to such danger
