valuable medicine, and have repeatedly
used it and it has always been beneficial.
1t has cured me quickly of all chest
colds. 1t is especially effective for chill

bottle to cure them of hoarseness.

A young scion of the Vanderbilt fam
lily, who has just come of age, has sur
prised 1--WE had almost said shocked) the
country by declaring himself possessed
of so much larger an amount of personal
property than the assessors had charged
him with that his tax was increased from
Sll, 200 To S250,000. The act has been
the subject of much comment, but per-
haps the most important result of it is
to call attention to the absurdity and
inequity of present methods of taxation.
1t has been remarked that a number OF
the multi-millionaires who reside in
New York pay tax on only Sl,000,0OO
each of personal property, including Mr..
Carnegie, who is known TO hold some
two hundred millions in steel trust
bonds.

The fact is, we tackle the tax problem
in a very awkward way. We think we
are discarding the income tax idea en-
tirely as impracticable, but in practice we
mix the property tax idea and the in
come tax idea in confused tumble. We
tax all property where We find tex
cept that of railroads, telegraph COM
panies, and a few other kinds of corpo-
rations. But under the head of personal
property we include not only movable
property, but stocks, bonds, "money at
interest,"" etc. These last named are
property on the income tax basis, but on
the basis of property tax they are
simply evidences of property which is
taxed somewhere else. This fact is rec
ognized TO a certain extent in our sys-
TEN, and in order TO avoid palpabie
double taxation we are obliged to hedge
the taxation of this class of 'prop-
erty" about with complicated mass of
regulations. The outcome Of it is that
the bulk of this ''property'-with the
exception of bank stock, regarding which
our Maine law is very strict-escapes
taxation entirely. The taxation Of rail-
roads, telegraph companies, and so on,
has attracted much attention in this
state and has been the subject Of consid-
cradle legislation in the past few years;
but the old, simple question Is still I'M
answered, why a corporation which
owns a million dollars worth Of property
in any form shouldn't pay tax on q
million dollars.

INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK.
II Has Improved with the Settlement
of Numerous labor Disputes.

New York, July 19.-R. &. Dun &c
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Settlement of numerous labor con-
trOversies and prospects of early
agreements as to many struggles
have greatly improved the industrial
outlook while agricultural conditions
steadily improve. AS these have
been the only unfavorable Influences
for some months, the prospects for
active trade are decidedly encourag-
ing. Preparations for unusually
heavy fall sales are being made and
confidence grows stronger. Mills and
furnaces that have been idle on ac-
count of the usual oyerhauling, re-
sumed as rapidly as needed repairs
could be made. Financial conditions
are sound, the mid-year dividend dis
tributions producing no stringency,
and speculation has been heavy for
the season, both in securities and sta
pies.
Manufacturers of cotton goods
hold prices steady, and there has been
a distinct increase in demand during
the past week, although buying is
only for imperative requirements, the
disposition 10 delaS purchases DeIHS
still evident. No concessions are Of
fered by holders.
Eastern shoe shops receive more or
ders, some of the larger producers re-
fusing contracts calling for delivery
before October.
Crop prospects have continued
favorable. and with the removal Of
speculative influences there was a
gradual decline in prices.
Failures for the week numbered ?13
in the United States, against 1913 last
year, and 20 in Canada, against 80
