While there has been somewhat of a
falling off in the fees taken in at the Sec
rotary of States Office, because of the ac-
tivity of Delaware and Massachusetts in
competing for corporation business, the
State will continue to prosper at the hands
of the gigantic corporation creatures be-
cause of the tribute they will be forced to
pay by way of taxation.
New Jersey is the richest State In the
| JTnion-that is, it has larger surplus in
its treasury, has no debt. and not only
pays all the expenses of government each
| year, but is also able to distribute almost
81 900, 900 annually toward eliminating
the local school tax and also to lay by for
a rainy day a snug addition to its bank
account.
| For several years past the state treasury
has literally been overlooking, and all be-
cause of the income it receives from the
many corporations, large and small, that
secure and pay for the protection afforded
BY its laws.
Secretary Irwin E. Mcguire, of the State
Board of Assessors, has flied with State
Comptroller Morgan the first batch of cor
porations against which taxes have been
assessed for the year. In this list are
4,t48 corporations, and they will pay to
the State franchise tax of 81, 900, 874. IA.
In return for this amount they are sim
ply given the right to do business Any
OF the corporations owning property in
the State are, of course, taxed on the
same in the localities where it is situated,
regardless of the franchise tax paid
There are upwards of $1,000 corpora
tions holding New Jersey charters, so that
there will be considerable additional tax
levied. The list just filed, however, con-
taiIs the cream of the concerns on which
franchise tax will be paid Perhaps
100000 will cover the tax to be levied
against the other concerns. This is, of
course, in addition to the fees paid for
filing charters, which will foot up about
another $500, 900 this year.
| The tax levied against railroad and
cansl properties and against street light
ing, heating, telephone and telegraph,
street railroad and other quasi public con-
Germs, are, of course, not included, as they
virtually all go the municipalities through
which they operate.
Tie great bulk of the franchise tax that
pours into the state treasury comes from
wha. are termed miscellaneous cornora-
lions" by the State and what are common
ly known as 'industrials" on the stock
exchange. They are chiefly companies
that have not penny invested in New
jersey, coming here simply for their legal
existence, because of the attractiveness of
the state corporation laws. Practically
all the big trusts in the country are in
cludtd in the list of assessments recently

What makes the happy relation between

Pyke in his article THE Woman's Side. y
is certain to receive the very wide consid-
Grafton which has been given to that
authors previous articles on the discus
sion of woman versus man. The July
COSMOPOLITAN seems to be almost equally
divided in interest between men and wo-
men. IAN Experiment in Domestic
Finance" is another entirely novel article
which will appeal to women, while some
twenty pages devoted to the Captains of
Industry" will receive the consideration of
men in al. classes of business. The Cos
rs0bolftan has undertaken to present a
series of brief sketches of the men who are
leaders la finance, manufactures. and
commerce, not prepared in an offhand
way, but by writers of the greatest ability
who have an exact knowledge of their
subjects. The series thus far produced
has attracted the widest attention. The
industrial changes which have of late been
occurring with such rapsdity have the
widest possible interest for all classes
The knowledge of these men, their deriya-
ton, leading characteristics and weak
nesses throws much light upon the news
of the day in which their names constantly
recur. While the press has presented an
endless number of illustrations of the
Mont Pelee disaster, the illustration in
the July COSMOPOLITAN, printed on fine
paper with the most careful art, give a
clearer idea of just what that disaster
means than anything hitherto presented.
The most seasonable of many excellent
short stories in the July DzcCZnre'S st among
which is an Emmy Lou story and New
foundland story by Norman Duncan), is
Mary Stewart Cuttings ''In the Married
Quarters" No more feeling picture has
ever been drawn of the reverse side of the
summer vacation-the side of the husband
who remains behind-not in the CITY where
there are roof-gardens and restaurants and
electric fans, but in a mosquito-infested
suburb, where one is left alone to battle
with the moths and the red ants: for in
this case both cook and second girl seem
also to have fed. The remarkable part of
it is that the story should have teen writ
ten by a woman, and the whole in a spirit
of sympathy, not of satire.
