necessary to remove the drainage tables,

has been normal since June &c. HIS
constitutional condition is admirable"
The British medical journal, In ex-
pressing a similarly satisfactory view
OF the kings condition, says:
"At no time has II been necessary
since the operation, to use sedatives 10
induce the king to sleep, To medical
men who have read the daily bulletins
II has been obvious that the state

There was great anxiety az first. Sir
Frederick Treves did not go to bed for
seven nights. But the lead OF anxiety
is now lightened, II II has not entirely
disappeared. The rumors regarding
the kings general health are altogether
unfounded and confidence is now felt
that thanks in an unusual degree to his
sound constitution, the king will make
recovery"

The Personal Tax Bill.



Some Of the features of the personal tax
Dill would, II allowed to pass in present
shape, entail the greatest injustice and
hardship upon large number Of our citi-
zens, and In some instances would compel
them to discontinue business and seek
other channels for a livelihood, while other
industries and occupations are taxed very
little or not at all.
1t is true that the Commissioners are CON-
fronted with the problem Of raising suffi-
cient revenue to meet expenditures: but
are they justified in selecting certain
classes or business as their victims when
Dy a fair and reasonable adjustment Of
taxes and reasonable care in the expendi-
lures there would be ample revenue with
out lnJur1ng any particular class of citi-
zens! rake, for example, a merchant He
Perhaps he has only 5000 Of stock He
must pay $50 per annum, the same as on
real estate, but he is not as able to nav
upon his stock as he would be upon an
equal amount Of real estate, because the
ownership of real estate represents the
elements OF wealth and is producing an in
come while We sleep, adding to the produc-
ton Of our brains or hands, while our
STOCK IN trade must be supported by all
our energy and ability to produce a living
income 1t therefore becomes an element
OF industry and thrift. which should be
fostered and encouraged instead of being
eS'-Acu " uehtH, anu the struggling business
man can Ill afford to pay such a tax out
OF his meager net earnings and support
himself and those dependent upon him
Even under the present law some indus
tries are made the victims of severe taxa
ton. The real estate and insurance agent
may have no capital but his energy and
the sweat Of his brow, but he must not
only stand a heavy expense to maintain
his business, but If he earns only 81 900 per
annum he must pay 10 per cent or more
OF that sum as tax. But under this bill
the authorities select brokers who loan
money on notes and tax them $500 per
annum, although the broker might not
possess $1,OOO capital and is hardly able to
pay his expenses and live. Why, IN the
name Of justice. should that man. with his
limited means, be driven to ruin by taxa
tion when attorney, a physician, a den
tlst and hundred other industries go free?
Why should the man who lends a little
money on notes or any securities Of like
nature nave to pay more taxes than the
merchant who pays under the same bill
Sl5 per $1,000 capital invested, or the real
estate agent. who pays $50 for the privi-
lege OF making loans on real estate? The
fact is that instead Of placing a premium
upon industry and thrift. II the present
system Of taxation is not resisted, it Is
only question Of time before it will be-
come menace to human liberty, for tax
sary revenue, and there can be no justiff-
cation for unnecessary taxation. The bill
should certainly be amended at once along
the lines Of moderation. and 1 trust that
united action may be taken by all lovers
OF justice and those interested before 1t is
too late and the bill becomes law.
